Lost Souls (Huskerdust)

Past Life

After some making out in the bath Husk leans backwards on Angels chest and sinks slightly into the water resting. Angel holds Husk close and scratching Husk to make him purr.

Angel: *kisses Husks forehead then sighs* "Hey Husk? can we talk about our lives before coming here? Or is that overstepping....."

Husk: *shrugs* "sure..... But my memory is very hazy"

Angel: *sighs* "that's okay~ well how do we wanna do this?"

Husk: *shrugs* "just explain key details from when we were alive?"

Angel: *nods* "well I'll start!" *Hugs Husk tightly* "well I was raised by my Italian father in the mafia. I never knew my mother. I have a sister and brother.... My father was very homophobic and aggressive. According to my brother he killed our mother.... My brother I know is in hell. As he should be he's an actual psychotic asshole who had fun taking advantage of people. While my sister I hope is in heaven as I haven't been able to find her here. My sister was honestly so kind and thoughtful how she was related to us I have no idea." *chuckles* "I don't remember if I participates in the mafia much but I do remember getting hella drunk and taking a shit ton of drugs. I'm like ninety percent sure I overdosed and died. I don't remember that much though. And as you already know my actual name is Anthony. I am bilingual being fluent in both English and Italian~"

Husk: *nods* "your family seems a bit fucked up but atleast you had your sister"

Angel: *nods and kisses Husks head* "now you~" *smirks* "I feel like I don't know anything about you~ so I want more details than I've given~"

Husk: *sighs* "I don't really remember much.... And the stuff I do remember I can't be sure how to interpret them."

Angel: *hugs him tighter* "just tell me what you do remember even if you aren't sure it's accurate just say what you remember~"

Husk: *nods and slinks slightly more into the water and closes his eyes as he speaks* "well I was raised in a casino. I honestly don't think I have ever known my parents. I was raised by the staff there and would help out..... You already know Donald right? Well he was like a brother to me in that casino." *chuckles* "he would always talk about wanting to make something like the old-timey cartoons. Me and him would spend hours just watching the magic show or admittedly pickpocketing some of the customers" *chuckles* "when we grew older we stayed in touch. I think I met a woman and" *tries to remember* "I don't remember if the children were mine or from a past man..... I do remember looking after them then-" *he cuts himself off and sinks his head into the water*

Angel: *pulls Husk up and looks down at him concerned* "then?"

Husk: *keeps his eyes closed and tries to keep steadily breathing* "then the war began....." *he slowly opens his eyes and sees Angel looking down at him empathetically and sadly. He looks away not wanting to look at Angels face when he speaks. He sits up and grabs a rubber duck to talk towards it instead and sighs* "me and Donald joined willingly. I remember the woman, maybe she was my wife, begging me not to go. Not that it would have mattered anyway since they started to draft basically everyone. But I do remember my wife begging so much..... The children, one boy and one girl, they were crying when I left begging me to stay..... So me and Donald fought in the war..." *his body tenses and he squeezes the rubber duck tightly. He then begins to shake slightly*

Angel: *pulls Husk back to laying on Angels chest and hugs him* "Hey I completely understand if you don't want to talk about the war in any detail or way"

Husk: *sighs* "Donald died in battle... Infront of me...... It still haunts me sometimes. It was completely my fault."

Angel: *shakes his head* "no it wasn't"

Husk: *starts to tear up* "I asked him to switch spots with me as a joke. We did do it and he..... It should've been me killed there not him"

Angel: *holds Husks head and begins scratching it to help Husk relax* "shhh.... Don't think like that....."

Husk: *breathes in and out* "after the war... I returned home expecting my wife and the kids but they were gone..... I don't know what happened.... I don't know if that was my wife's way of leaving me or if something happened. I then began to drink and go to casinos more. I don't remember how I died but if I had to guess probably has something to do with alcohol. I was a mess...." *sighs* "I am fluent in English obviously. But I am also fluent in Italian, Russian, German, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese."

Angel: *jaw drops* "how the fuck...."

Husk: *forces a chuckle* "oh yea growing up in a casino makes you meet all sorts of people. I eventually learnt a lot to be able to communicate with them. I actually didn't realise you were Italian amore mio~"

Angel: *melts and kisses Husks head* "oh my god~"

Husk: *chuckles and turns around and straddles Angel* "I'm happy you like that~" *kisses Angels neck*

Angel: *goes to close his eyes but stops himself and looks down at Husk* "and your name?"

Husk: *stops kiss and looks up at Angel* "oh right" *moves Angels head down so their foreheads are touching and Husk smirks* "my real name is Acer. Clearly the people at the casino gave a lot of thought behind the name" *chuckles*

Angel: *smiles and whispers* "è perfetto~" *kisses Husk*
