This oneshot is rather fluffy <3

You had just finished pouring yourself a nice drink when you heard the door to the cozy apartment you shared with your lovely and fluffy husband open with a quiet creek. Your smile widened as you grabbed a second glass and poured another drink and sat on a kitchen counter. You waited patiently, and quietly so you could surprise him, imagening him as you heard his footsteps move around the house.

Finally he started walking towards the kitchen, the heavier steps than normal told you he was exhausted and in desperate need of some snuggle time under the blankets.

You picked up the glasses shortly before he opened the door wide enough to slip through, you extended one in his direction with a warm grin. "Got you something love!" You called out to him, his ears perked up at the sound of your voice. He glanced up before his expression softened, you could even see the faint hint of a smile from him.

He walked over, slouched like usual. With his posture it was no wonder why your massages did absolute wonders for him. He took the drink from your hand, kissing it gently and clinking your glasses before downing it instantly. Somehow is drinking capabilities still managed to surprise you as you stared for a moment. "Ah, hits the spot alright." He grumbled satisfied. "That was mostly gin!" You exclaimed, he looked over and shot a wide grin. "Good." He simply answered.

You sighed before downing your own drink, which had significantly less hard liquor in it, and still ending up coughing for a moment when you felt the alcohol hit the back of your throat. The warmth of it quickly spreading throughout your entire body. You put your glass back down before looking back over at Husk. He had his eyes half closed, staring off into nothingness, you realised he looked quite tired.

You pushed off the kitchen counter and slung both of your arms around the one of his, closest to you and intertwinning your fingers. You now had his full attention, his eyes silently tracing your features, a silent caress. He wasn't one to obviously show his love, but you noticed all the little... And loved them.

"Why not get some sleep together? It's getting a bit late." You say, waiting for his approval, a quick nod, before dragging him off to your bedroom. The pillows were quickly assorted and the blanket pulled aside. You laid down first, he waited until you were in a comfortable position before more or less letting himself fall on top of you.

It didn't really hurt but you still glared at him for a moment, but what shall you do, a cat stays a cat no matter the size. Besides he half curled up on you and his purring was well worth it. Well and the fact that you got to pet him as much as you wanted to right now, usually he just got extremely flustered and asked you to stop. Especially in public. Now that you thought some more into it, his behavior almost completely changed whenever others were around. It hadn't really bothered you much, you saw each other mostly in the mornings and late into the nights, work had the both of you busy, but now you started to get curious. Maybe it was nothing but you wanted to know.

You opened your eyes again, almost not speaking to disturb him, he looked so peaceful and relaxed right now, however you're nagging curiosity got the better of you and you asked him why he was embarassed of you two in the public. He slightly jerked, it was almost unnoticable and with the hint of guilt in his eyes you got the feeling that there was something bigger going on.

"You know I'm not the most... Loud partner, I-I'm sorry if it makes you feel unloved dear." He said, lifting his head to look into your eyes and to not muffle his words, but you had the feeling there was something else he wanted to say. You leaned forward until you could give him a small kiss on the forehead before laying back down, calmly petting his head. "If there's anything else you wanna say go ahead. I won't be mad I promise." You added.

You saw him sheepishly looking away, so there was something he was hiding after all. He contemplated silently for a long time, you waited even though you were burning to know, at some point you wondered if he was still awake but eventually he spoke up once more. The atmosphere had changed from the cozy snuggling to a more heavy, serious tone.

"It's hard to explain but remember when I told you about my situation with Alastor?" He began and you nodded, you still didn't mind that he owed his soul to the radio demon, even though he deffinetely did. "I just wanna keep you safe from him. He's much more dangerous than what they say, in ways you'd never imagine." He continued, slowly looking down and just resting his head on your chest as he spoke. He sighed deeply but you couldn't help but smile. Oh what a lovely little idiot you had, so deeply worried about you yet forgetting that you were an overlord yourself, with the power to prove it.

You slung your arms around his torso in a warm hug. "Don't worry about me, I can handle myself." You reminded him but you saw that it barely even comforted him. A slight shiver ran down your back, he wasn't one to underestimate you and he must know his powers first hand. "I know, you're strong, just please be careful around him, okay?" He asked softly with a smile before closing his eyes and nuzzling his head in between your head and chest and starting to doze off once more. His soft fur tickled your nose and you sighed, staying awake a bit longer, running your fingers through his fur until you too fell asleep.
