(Word Count: 1030)

When Husk walked off Angel headed to his room the realised he still doesn't have the key but then he spots Niffty.

Angel: "Hey niffty!"

Niffty: *turns to Angel and runs up to him* "yes miss?"

Angel: *sighs* "uh do you have a spare key for my room?"

Niffty: *nods and gives him the spare key then sniffs Angel slightly* "did you sleep in Husks room?"

Angel: *goes a bit red* "uh yeah. How'd you know?"

Niffty: *smiles* "you smell like him" *she then runs off*

Angel rolls his eyes and chuckles as he opens the door and apologises greatly to Fat Nuggets. He then played with the pig on the bed and went on his phone. He saw a notification from Valentino saying that there has been some issues so Angel wouldn't have to go to work for a few days and Angel sighs in relief. Then Angel remembers the picture of Husk and the Vee's. Angel tries to forget but it's all he can think about. He remembered the photo vividly.

All the way to the left was Velvette who took the photo, then Vox (who seemed to have an slightly older TV head) then Husk looking very put together and fancy hair and clothes and then right next to him was Valentino with his creepy smirk.

Angel couldn't stop thinking about it. By the time he was able to get his focus slightly off it he realised it was 11pm (23:00) already and he made his way carefully to Husk's room hoping he'd be able to bring up the photo.

Angel knocks on Husk's door and Husk opens up dragging Angel in locking the door behind them. Then Husk kisses Angel.

Angel: *kisses back and then pulls away* "someone's eager?~"

Husk: *chuckles slightly* "uh yeah... I just didn't see you around the hotel today and got worried...."

Angel: *smirks* "oh don't worry kitty~ just got.... Distracted"

Husk: *raises an eyebrow* "distracted?"

Angel: *nods and sits on Husks bed* "uh yea just thinking about something...."

Husk: *sits next to him then lays his head on Angel's legs* "wanna talk about it?"

Angel: *shrugs* "I don't know how you'd react"

Husk: *looks concerned* "does it have to do with Valentino?"

*Angel nods*

Husk: *hisses slightly, ears go down, wings' feathers spikes up, tail tenses and his eyes pupils thin* "god what did that fucker do"

Angel: *nods like he's taking a mental note that Husk seems to hate Val* "well it's not exactly what he did. It has to do with you aswell"

Husk: *returns to normal and looks confused* "what do you mean?"

Angel: *angel takes a deep breath then says very quickly* "when I went to get the medkit of you and the Vees and I know you like your privacy and shouldn't have looked through the pictures but now I can't stop thinking about it and I don't understand why you'd have a photo with them....."

Husk: *let's out a slightly chuckle* "you know I used to be an overlord right?"

Angel: *eyes widen* "you what?"

Husk: *chuckles* "yea.... It was a while ago but yea..... Did you not know?"

Angel: *shrugs* "I don't keep up with politics..... If I didn't work for Val I probably wouldn't even know who the Vees were"

Husk: *chuckles* "of course"

Angel: *smiles then slightly frowns* "so did you and the Vees get along?"

Husk: *nods* "yea I suppose. Me and Velve got along as I was one of the few people who were willing to be honest to her about most stuff even if it's to disagree or criticise her. Me and Vox mostly got along, I never understood his obsession with everything and upgrading"

Angel: *nods and takes note that he seemed friendly with Velvette and neutral with Vox* "what about Val?"

Husk: *hisses slightly and his pupils go thin* "complete and utter dipshit."

Angel: *chuckles* "couldn't agree more..."

Husk: *chuckles as well* "then why work for him?"

Angel: *looks away* "im under a contract and he owns my soul...."

Husk: *face immediately has a sad expression* "oh god...."

Angel: *nods* "yea but there's nothing anyone can do"

Husk: *raises an eyebrow* "you do realise you are living in a hotel with the radio demon and an ex-overlord right?"

Angel: *looks down at Husk who's still laying his head on Angel's lap* "yeah?"

Husk: *smirks slightly* "I may be able to help...."

Angel: "really?"

Husk: *nods* "well I have a plan and worse case scenario I'll have to get Alastor involved. But I'm sure we can find a way to free you"

Angel: *starts to tear up slightly from happiness* "wait what?"

Husk: *chuckles and sits up to kiss Angel on the lips* "just leave it to me and I'll find a way to help you even if I spend my intire afterlife doing it"

Angel: *chuckles and kisses Husk* "you are the best. But don't stress too much if you don't end up being able to. I really appreciate this"

*Husk starts to kiss Angel's neck*

Husk: *smirks* "can we talk about the date now?"

Angel: *nods* "uh yea what did you have in plan?"

Husk: *smiles* "well I haven't thought about it much but what if we went to that one really fancy restaurant where practically everything is on fire, then we can see the new film that came out that everyone is talking about and then when it's dark we can walk across the red river where we picked up rubbish for that one stupid redemption task"

Angel: *chuckles and sarcastically says* "oh you clearly didn't think much about it"

Husk: *goes red and chuckles slightly* "I may have been thinking about it since you comforted me about my ex"

Angel: *whistles* "aww..... well ill be happy with anything as long as it's with you"

Husk: *kisses Angel* "well then afterwards we can finally do it in the bed"

Angel: *smirks* "why don't we do it in the cinema?"

Husk: *goes extremely red* "hm?"

Angel: *chuckels* "I'm joking~ but you do look adorable like that."

Husk rolls his eyes then kisses Angel. Angel kisses back and they begin to make out for 25 minutes.
