'Dust's Overlord - An Overlord AU (DISCONTINUED!!)

Gambled Away

Warning! Abuse is implied, descriptions of being a victim of said abuse

Husk never expected Valentino to be such an idiot. Sure, Husk does his fair share of gambles with people who think they're the shit,  but he never expected somebody to confidently bet on his own casino, and with their biggest money-maker, no less. Husk believed he'd heard the name a time or two, but really thinking hard on it, the name 'Angeldust' wasn't all that familiar. Husk was already thinking of ways Angeldust could help with his business, knowing he'd bring in good money. Though that wasn't really his thing, using his workers always made Husk uncomfortable. He'd obviously supply Angeldust with all of his basic needs. Husk is sitting in his office behind the casino, a part of the upstairs area, "hidden" by an employees only door, along with a hallway of other doors to useless employee rooms. The receptionist called in through the phone, informing him how somebody was practically thrown into the building. He wouldn't have cared, but hearing the words "Thrown in", well, he could only imagine who.

"Send them up." He rasped

"Are you sure, sir?"

"Positive."

And with that, the demon made their way up, with the help of an employee, of course. Angeldust entered the room, his eyes widening in surprise and curiosity. He looked like a mess. Eyeliner on his cheeks with obvious tear marks that had led the way. His lipstick was smudged, and his already revealing outfit was torn up even more. His hair and chest fluff was askew, and not to mention the marks left on him. A black eye, a few cuts and bruises here and there, and worst of all, the bite mark on his shoulder. Fucking Valentino.

Husk stood up and walked over, taking Angel's hand and kissing it just as a simple gesture to be polite. Angel felt his knees buckle and his cheeks flush, he'd never experienced such kindness, especially from a stranger like Husk.

"I'm assuming you're Angeldust? Cant believe Tino was stupid enough to bet ya over my Casino." Husk said, pulling out a cigarette seemingly from nowhere and lighting it, but he noticed Angel's reaction to it. "Sorry. Should've asked how you are with smoke." Husk said quickly before putting it out.

"No.. it's fine." Angel said. He's usually more confident than this, but Angeldust was a bit taken aback. Nobody ever even thought about what his opinion might be on smoke. Angel only felt his shoulders un-tense once Husk put the cigarette out. "But, yeah. 'Name's Angeldust. Pleasure's all yours, Pussycat." He said with a wink, composure sure enough seeping back into him as he relaxed his stance a bit more.

Angeldust felt himself.. worry? When he saw Husk's reaction to being called that, but as no punishment came, even despite Husk's look, Angel only felt himself relax even more. "Right. Don't call me that. Anyways.." Husk pulled out Angel's collar, and Angeldust's eyes widened in terror- of course, Husk still owned him. Before he could start apologizing, he felt the weight of the collar disappear, and as he opened his eyes, he watched as husk gently took his hand and slide the gorgeous ring onto his finger. Was that what he was bound with? "I'm not gonna keep you on a collar like some kind of dog, that's what shitty people do.. here, let's go over some rules." Husk walked over to the window, opening it and lighting a cigarette again, making sure the smoke crept outside this time.

"You want cash, dope, a boat, anything with a tag, it's yours." He started. "Do whatever you want, I don't care, just as long as you put that pretty face o' yours to good use and bring in guests. If you're hungry, anything like that, I can handle it, even if you just want some privacy, it'll be dealt with. If anyone here treats you like ass, they'll be shot dead. Nothing here is cheap, so no weapons allowed beyond the doors. There is no 'free' in this casino, everyone's gotta pay up. Lastly, no blue, I fuckin' hate that color. As long as you're under me, and do your job by hustling lowlifes, you'll be treated like fuckin' royalty." Husk said with a breath, as if relieved for going over all the rules.

Soon enough, Husk told Angel to get cleaned up, which was the least he could do considering the condo waiting for him. Husk made sure to buy a 2 condo floor so he and Angeldust were always only a few feet away. Well, for whenever he wasn't working, which was basically never. Angeldust gasped and fell to his knees, hugging his dear fat nuggets! Thank satan he was allowed to keep him, fat nuggets was the only thing that kept him going through his p*rnstar days.. Angeldust felt very fortunate for this, he should thank Husk later.. Soon enough, Angeldust got all dolled-up, wearing a beautiful golden dress, along with jewelry. He knew how to cover up the marks, and he did a damn good job at it. The shower was amazing, there were different settings on it! Angel truly did feel like royalty, he felt as if nothing could bring him down.

Angel knelt down, petting fat nuggets "Alright, nuggs, you be good while daddy's gone, okay? I'll try not to be long. I love you." He said softly, smiling sweetly as he gave his pig a gentle kiss before leaving the condo.

Of course! He should've known Husk would be a busy person.. he wasn't even allowed to see Husk before he began working. Angel had to admit, working here was pretty great, all he had to do was tempt people, whether it be flirting or complimenting, he was amazing at it! He honestly had a perfect first day. The Casino was open 20 hours a day, only closed on Mondays, not really for any particular reason, Husk just found it appealing since everyone hates Monday. Luckily, today was Sunday, so Angel could at least get a day off after his first day. Angeldust sat at the bar, thanking the bartender for working a bit overtime to get him a few drinks. Angel sat at the barstool, sipping a drink contentedly. He felt a suit jacket wrap around his shoulders, placed on top of his torso, making him perk up and look over at.. Husk!

"Hey there, kitty! What're you doin' here? Thought you'd be busy."

"Decided to check in on the new employee. You look nice, but it's cold as fuck in here! What were you thinkin' wearin' that?" Angel had never gotten criticized for being too revealing. This made him giggle.

"I know other ways you can warm me up." Angel said with a teasing little shimmy, pulling the jacket on to cover himself a bit more. It smelt like Husk.. it was nice.

Husk rolled his eyes, making Angel's smirk grow "Yeah yeah, whatever.. you did good today, kid."

"Not your best move callin' a pornstar a kid.." Angel joked tauntingly.

"Yeah, regretted it as soon as it slipped outa my mouth." Husk said, his chuckle just as deep as his husky voice (get it 😏). Angel could listen to him laugh for hours.

"Thanks." Angeldust blurted out, smile still on his face, though quickly softening.

"Huh?"

"I said thank you." Angel said, now looking over to make eye contact."

"It's no biggie, you can keep the coat-"

"Yeah, thanks for that too, but I'm not talkin' bout the coat.. I mean thank you. For this. I don't wanna get all corny or anythin' so just.. thank you." Angeldust watched as slight surprise grew on Husk's face.

"Well, that's no biggie either.. I know we're in hell, but you gotta treat what's yours with care, any decent being should know that, hell or not." Husk said, taking Angel's drink and finishing it off. He stood up, holding his arm out. "How about I take you home then?" Husk said with a grin.

Angeldust felt his cheeks heat up, and he quickly slipped off of the barstool, taking Husk's arm in his and smiling kindly "Sure thing, pretty kitty. You can take me home anytime." He teased with a wink, smirk growing as he watched Husk roll his eyes.

"Eventually, they made it to their separate condo's floor, and they stood in front of Angels door.

"Hope I see you soon." Husk said almost instinctively.

"Well, I live two feet away from ya, and we're coworkers... but yeah. I hope to see you soon as well, pussycat." Angel dust leaned down, gently kissing Husk's forehead, making the cat quickly fluster up, his eyes widening, cheeks and ears reddening. "Later, Husky." Angel said with a gentle grin, entering his condo and shutting the door behind himself.

Husk knew he was done for.
