Broken Lovers

Twenty Three

"I'm not 'letting you' do anything." Husk stated. "You won it. That means, it's yours. Not mine to say how much you get to have." He wasn't sure why Angeldust didn't understand that.

He just nodded still very confused. He put everything back in his purse.

"Don't forget, your watch." Husk said tossing it to him.

"Your watch." The spider corrected. "Dat's way to big for my arms." He explained, handing the watch back.

"Uhh, thanks." Husk said awkwardly putting it on.

"I should probably, head to bed." Angeldust said.

Husk nodded it was pretty late. Husk wrapped his arms around the thin demon before leaning close to kiss him. They made out for a few minutes before they pulled away.

"Goodnight Husk."

"Goodnight." Husk said.

Angeldust stood up, leaving the room. He walked towards his own room opened the door and shut it behind him he leaned against it and slid down putting his knees to his chest and sobbing at his harsh reality.

He was in love, with somebody he just couldn't have. Valentino would legitimately kill him if he ever found out. He just wanted to be loved, like actually loved. Not some distorted, psychopathic version of it.

Fat Nuggets climbed into Angels lap and oinked to get the demon's attention. Angel petted his beloved pet as the tears rolled down his face.

Husk drank a one of the bottles of booze he brought, quickly realizing Angel left his, it wouldn't last til morning if it was left in his room. He grabbed the bottle and left his room. He walked over to Angel's room and knocked on the door.

"Go away." He sobbed.

"Angel?" Husk sighed, but obliged. He left the bottle outside his door and went back to his room.

Angeldust slowly opened the door, half hoping Husk would still be there. He took the alcohol and sat it down on his desk.

He laid on his bed placing Fat Nuggets beside him and cuddling a body pillow.

Husk finished, the second bottle of alcohol before he fell asleep.

In the morning, Angeldust woke up with barely any sleep, he was up on and off all night. He quickly got dressed and grabbed his pack of cigarettes. He went down the stairs and went out the back way to light and smoke his cigarette in the back parking lot.

Husk woke up and went downstairs to unlock the bar. He hoped Angeldust was alright. He opened a fresh bottle of alcohol and started his day off like every other, tipping the bottle and letting the liquid burn down his throat.

Angeldust came back in after his much needed cigarette.he sat down at the bar.

"What can I get ya?" Husk asked.

"Arsenic on the rocks." Angeldust joked resting his head on the bar top with a thud.

"Can't do that, sorry." Husk stated. He put his hand on Angel's shoulder and patted it supportively.

He could see Angel was self destructing and he didn't know why, but he didn't seem like he was ready to talk about whatever was troubling him so he just left it be for the moment. He poured Angel a glass of vodka with ice. "Best I can offer ya."

"Damn." He sighed taking the glass and downing the entire contents in one gulp.

Angeldust checked his phone and left the hotel without a goodbye. Husk tried not be upset by it. He probably was just running late or something.
