Bathtime and the voices are back pt.2
Here's some recap: Husk and Polaris have a little heart to heart after showering and having a bite to eat. Husk and polaris then find themselves lying together with their hands intertwined together. Music playing in the background as they gaze into each other's eyes deeply and long enough to see the other's past human self when they were alive. Polaris might have activated a new power she isn't aware of and that power might be the ability to see/allow others to see their human selves/her past self. This ability won't work on Charlie or demons who were already born in hell.
The music fades into white noise as Husk and Polaris find themselves coming back to reality. Polaris gazes at Husk,feeling warmth and love in her heart for the cat in front of her. She loved everything about him from the way he talked to his gentleness when they were together. She loved his fluffy yet scruffy face, although her sight of him was very blurry as if staring behind fogged up lenses, his dull yet bright orange eyes in a lovely pool of brown sclera. His long red eyebrows that seemed to always be furrowed in frustration regardless of what was happening. She loved his voice, smooth and soft with her but a bit rough and with a bit of an accent. She wasn't sure what but she loved hearing it. She loved the way he combed his claws through her fur,long gentle strokes in the shower always soothed her after a long day. His long tail with what felt like feathers at the end of it and big wings with a wide wingspan. She loved it when he hugged her in them with his arms around her small body. She could go on and on about all the things she loved about Husk but it would be better if she just came out and told him about these feelings. She could trust him with it...right?
The fruit bat took a deep breath and exhaled slowly,working up the courage to speak. "Mr.Husk/Polaris?" The two spoke simultaneously before laughing embarrassed. "No no! You go first!" Husk and Polaris spoke in unison once again,covering their mouths to stifle their laughs at the silliness of being on the same wavelengths. This happened a few times and never failed to get laughs and maybe some teasing from Angel Dust saying they should get it on already which was warranted a smack upside the head from Alastor who then told him to keep him and his dirty innuendos to himself and leave them be. "No no after you!" Polaris insisted,curious to know what Husk wanted to say. He shook his head,rebutting"no, you called me first. It's only fair that you go before me." She looked at him with a blush present on her face,looking at him. "Y-you sure? I-i can wait!" She persisted,feeling her courage and confidence begin to quickly drain as quick as it filled her. His response was for her to go ahead and he'd wait once she was finished. She took a deep breath and regathered the courage that tried to fade from her body before letting it out to get rid of her jitters to say what she needed to say. It wouldn't leave her mind and she had to get it out.
"I've been thinking about this a lot lately...i-i don't mean the shower thing o-of course!" He nodded and gestured for her to continue. "Mm... W-what i mean is that...i-i've been thinking about you a lot lately... I can't get you out of my head and...i know we're...um...close friends... But i need to get this off my chest and i just...need to come out and say it!" She declared and Husk listened, giving her his full attention. He simply gave the other staff the "shhh" gesture with his clawed finger to his lips as they stood in the doorway, obviously coming to ask for something or possibly to check on them. Most likely was the latter since they wouldn't and shouldn't need anything at this time.
Angel was about to speak but Alastor shot him a glare that was enough to shut the spider down quick. Charlie silently fangirled and vaggie shook her head at her girlfriend's silliness. Nifty had a camera ready and was recording, ready to catch this moment and witness it. Whether they would crash and burn or pursue a relationship was yet to be seen. They all knew it could be the latter option. Husk treated no one else the way he treated Polaris. He didn't treat her like a daughter who needed to be protected or an annoying friend who liked being a pain in the ass like Alastor. He treated Polaris as a friend but as time passed them by and they watched the two demons interact more, they began to see a relationship begin to blossom between the grumpy bartender and the starry-eyed fruit bat. They saw the chemistry between the two as clear as day and now that they were there, they wanted to see what would transpire between them.
"I've...i-i've been having these...f-feelings...that only flare up when I'm around you... I feel like my heart is hammering away in my chest...i suddenly can't function when you're around...i-i feel...happy with you and i feel like I'm walking on air...the slightest touches and when your voice bounces around in my ears leaves me weak...a-and sometimes i think I'm stupid for feeling...this way..." She slowly fell silent, her mind thinking of aborting but her heart beat so loud in her ears, she thought she were going deaf. "S-sometimes...i-i wonder...what would our relationship be like...i-if we had met when we were alive? B-but while it would be nice to know... I wanna focus on our p-present relationship..." This was it. She could feel the trembling in her body sinking into her bones. It was now or never. These next few words would have to be chosen carefully as to not upset him or cause any misunderstanding between them.
"I...A-at first i saw you as my guardian and protector. I trusted you and no one else with my safety and well-being. I placed it in you well... Which is why...I came to see you in a different light... I've come to like...no...love you and you fill me with warmth and you've cared for me like no one else had before... Mr.Husk... I don't want these feelings to fade...i don't want to give them up! I-i...love you!!! I-i know you don't feel love anymore...b-but if it's alright with you..." She trailed off, feeling tears burning in her eyes and her hands began to shake as she heard the voices in her head berate her.
Why would he want to care for a blind idiot who nearly tears up anything he owns and isn't mentally stable?
The voices began to swirl, bashing her and hurling harsh words. The words were starting to get to her and she began to break away, her confident facade starting to be torn down by her self-loathing and her ugly words slowly making her want to take back those words and forget she admitted her love for him
Her voices and thoughts were cut off by Husk grabbing her hands in his, sensing her mind beginning to drift into its downward spiral. He leaned in close enough and gently wiped the tears away,slowly lifting her chin up to look him in the eye.
"Dull yet pretty orange eyes...a sweet,kind smile...warm arms to hug me... Your loving and caring voice...your laugh...your beautiful wings...soft fur...your hugs...your kisses...your gentleness and kindness towards me... I love those things...about you...i don't wanna lose them....i-i don't wanna...lose you." Her voice faded into soft sobs,she looked him in the eyes as she had spoke slowly to pace herself. "Can i...be yours...and love you for the rest of our afterlives? Be called your love...be cherished by you...and have you reciprocate the same for me?" She requested shyly through her cracking voice and shyness. "I-i'm sorr- FU! FU! FU! FU! FU! FU- DICK!" she covered her mouth,sobbing loudly as her tics had been triggered. Husk pulled her hands away,scooping her cheeks in his paws seemingly not fazed by her tics coming out in her anxious attempt to express how she felt. He shushed her,wiping her tears and kissing her cheeks to kiss the tears away. "You don't have to say another word... I was...hoping to say the exact same thing to you...i was planning to do the same and you kinda...stole the words from my mouth." He confessed,wanting to feel her lips against his. He wanted nothing more but he still had some things to say and spill to her. "I wanted to say those words... Never got the chance to...but that's okay! Because now i know... I never thought you'd be the one to...give me a second chance at love. Thought I'd spend my afterlife alone as a bartender at some hotel dealing annoying coworkers day in day out. I-i guess we were supposed to meet...i don't usually believe in superstitions and fairy tales and myths and shit...but i could feel it. I was gonna meet someone on a beer run for the bar and i met you. You've made me the happiest demon in hell and I'm so glad you stumbled into my life. I'd gladly be yours...b-but don't expect me to get into the lovin and kissin right away. Gotta give it some time..." He was of course contradicting his own thoughts when he said he wouldn't get into kissing her right away. It was all he could think about at the moment.
He watched her face as she nodded,sniffling as more tears came spilling out. The two leaned in and closed the small gap between them. Sure they wouldn't get into the big lovey dovey stuff right away, but Polaris didn't mind waiting on Husk and he didn't mind it either. The two were too caught up in the moment to hear the ecstatic and excited squeals and giggles of Charlie, Angel, and Nifty as Alastor and Vaggie shook their heads at the trio of squealers. Polaris heard them but she didn't care as she smiled against Husk's lips. She was just happy to have him by her side and knew she'd be able to get through anything with him alongside the Hazbin crew.
She would be happy as long as she had her guardian demon to guide her way and love her until the end of time.
