Angel hated it. He hated working for Val. He hated everything about it. Most of all he hated himself for signing that damn contract agreeing to all this. Even though at the time he didn't know what he was getting into. He wished he'd thought about it at least
He walks into the hotel exhausted, his head leading as he slouched. Tiredly, he made his way to the bar. The hotel was the only place he actually felt home. The only place he felt safe and could let himself go. Only to relive the same day over and over again.
He finally makes it to the bar and plops down onto the barstool, his head hitting the counter almost immediately with a groan.
Angel lifts his head up to see Husk looking at him, whilst already holding a bottle of Angels favorite. Angel groans
"Rough is an understatement Husky..". Angel sighs and slams his head on the counter again. Husk pats his back. Angel listens as a bottle opens and is being poured into a glass. He looks up when he feels the glass lightly bump his arm.
Angel looks up at Husk gratefully and the downs half the drink. He sighs in relief as he looks up at the bartender and smiles.
"Thanks Husk. Fucking needed that after today."
"He took you on a fucking joy ride didn't he?" Husk questioned in a concerned tone, looking at the spider. Angel chuckles tiredly
"Everyone did. And there was no joy in it. Trust me." Angel complains,taking another swig at his drink. Husk looks at him pitifully. Every part of Husk wanted to go down to that porn studio and rip Valentino limb from limb. But he knew better than to try. He wish he could though.
Husk's face immediately goes from concerned to annoyed when he sees Angel smirking at him.
"Although, I wouldn't mind if you were the one taking me on a joy ride whiskers~" Angel smirks and scratches Husk's chin.
To Angel's surprise, there was no retort or shoving. Instead,Husk momentarily stops everything he's doing ,and soon Angel hears a low rumbling noise emitting from Husk himself. Angel's jaw drops
"No fucking way! You can Purr?!" Angel exclaims excitedly.
Immediately after hearing this Husk is brought back into reality and pulls his head back.
"Ah-..n-no! That wasn't purring jackass! It was just-" Husk stumble with his words
"Just what? Hm?...no answer. Exactly"
Husk groans at the spider, who was now smirking. Angel immediately tried to go for Husk's ears.
Husk grabs Angel's hand. Angel smirk
"Ohh holding hands now are we? You really want me that bad Husky~?" Angel brings up the hand that Husk is holding and pressed it against his cheek. Husk groans in annoyance and takes his hand back. Angel chuckles.
"You know..." Angel begins talking, his first pair of arms supporting his chin, while the second did gestures. "If you let me do this it just might help."
Husk looks at Angel confused. Help? What help did he need? He's the bartender. If anything he's the one usually helping people. Talking about feelings and shit.
"Pleaseee." Angel pleaded, looking at Husk directly in his eyes ,with the best puppy dog eyes he could do.
Husk figured that the spider demon wasn't gonna get off his tail until he let him do it. So. After a brief moment of reluctance.
"Four to five seconds. That's all you get-"
"Four. To. Five. Seconds"
Husk was tempted to chuckle at the spiders dissapointment. But that was immediately cut off when he just realized what he had said. well it's too late to back out.
Angel hoists himself up onto the counter and turns so that he can face Husk. Husk rolls his eyes and stands infront of Angel.
Slowly, Angel starts scratching behind Husk's left ear, very lightly. Husk's eyes screwed shut, but seemingly became more relaxed as Angel went out. It was a very relaxing sensation for the bartender. Something he didn't expect Angel to do, maybe Charlie, or even Nifty if she was curious. But no. It was the spider demon. And he was surprisingly good at it.
Angel then uses another hand to gently scratch behind Husk's right ear. Husk flinched a bit at the sudden touch, instantly prompting Angel to stop and apologize. Husk assured him that it was fine, and with that, Angel went back to scratching.
And soon enough. A gentle rumbling once again emits from Husk. Angel holds in his laugh and continues. Suddenly he gets an idea
Whilst still scratching behind Husk's ears, angel uses one of his other hands to gentle scratch Husk's chin. This time Husk didn't flinch at all. He just stood there ,tiredly happy, enjoying the attention he was getting
They had both pretty much forgotten the time limit at this point, nor did they care. Husk was happy, and Angel was proud he could make Husk happy.
Angel never thought he'd be this close with Husk ever. But the afterlife really surprised him. Sure Angel is still mad with all the shit Valentino puts him through, but he's also happy that at the end of the day.
He'll always get to see his loser.
