Husk and Angel weren't exactly official, but that was okay, as neither of them really wanted a label. Husk didn't want to be called his "owner" exactly, but they also didn't care about the "boyfriend" label. I mean, it's just placing a name onto a relationship, only locking them in. It's hard to explain, but they're content, so that's all that matters. Although you can say they're 'in love', Husk still technically owns Anthony's (Anthony is Angel in case some LOSERS don't know) soul, and they still have business to do with two out of three of the Vees. Husk wasn't sure where Velvette was, but he didn't really care, she only ever pissed him off, so as much as he and Camilla don't get along, that's about the only thing they do agree on together. Husk ordered Angel to get ready, telling him to be out in 30. Angel came fashionably late as always, but when he noticed Husk was more irritated by that than anything, Angel knew he should shape up, the demon owned his soul for crying out loud! And on top of that they were seeing Valentino and Vox.. yeah, might not want to add on to that stress.

"Hey." Husk grumbled to Angel, riding in the back of his limousine which was already on its was to The Voxtech penthouse (that's a thing probably)

"Hm?" Angel hummed curiously, looking up and over at Husk

"..You sure you're fine?" Husk said hesitantly. Okay, he still had enough sanity to care, cool.

Angel smiled softly "I'm fine, kitty."

"When we get there, only refer to me as.. I guess you could say "formal" names only, got it?"

"Ooh, yes sir." Angel said with a wink, earning an Eyeroll.

They eventually arrived, and Husk opened Angel's door like the gentleman that he is, and soon enough, they were high up in the building.

As the elevator door dinged and opened, Husk and Angel witnessed Vox and Valentino sensually making out, a little too much tongue action. Val was practically naked with the lingerie he was wearing. Vox's flat face turned to the guests, carelessly shoving Val off the couch, smiling brightly as he buttoned up his shirt

"Hello, Hello! Great to see you again, Husk!" Said Vox with the most shit-eating grin, Val huffing angrily as he stood up, slipping his robe on and walking to Vox's side

"Somethin' like that. Spit, Vox, I'm a bust man, I don't have all day."

"Yes, yes! I'm sure you are, let me show you! I'm sure you are going to love it!" Val excitedly said, getting his revenge by forcibly pushing Vox out the way as we walked over to a meeting table in the room with many chairs, something covered by a thin sheet.

Angel took Husk's arm as they followed the two, Vox angrily dusting off his outfit as he hurried to follow behind Val

"Alright, please sit down for this!" Neither men sat, Val hesitating slightly at the tough crowd

"R-right! Ta-da!!" Said Valentino excitedly as he pulled off the sheet, Vox playing a "doo-doo!" Sound effect, the removal of the sheet revealing a robot which poorly resembled Angel, quite like the Fizzaroli one.

"So! What do we think? It's name is kitty~"

"Are you serious? That's the worst thing I've ever seen- it doesn't even look like me!-"

"I like it"

"..Husk? You- you can't seriously want to invest in this thing??"

"Don't be difficult, Angel." Husk said firmly, giving him a knowing look. Angel furrowed his brows and remained silent as they began speaking about the product

They left as soon as they came, the ride back to their condos silent. Husk knew Angel would be mad, but he didn't expect to hear shouting through the thick walls of both of their condos. Husk's decent hearing was put to good use, he could hear as one of Angels friends.. "Cherri bomb"? Came over before taking him out clubbing. Although Husk allowed it to happen, he was honestly furious that Angel didn't ask him. Husk wasn't possessive, right? No, no way, he just doesn't want Angel doing anything dangerous or getting hurt! Yeah, that's it..

Fuck it

Angel's ring started glowing a familiar dark pink color, the same color his leash was before it was, well, turned into said ring.

"The fuck?"

"What's up, whore?" Asked Cherri playfully with a laugh, taking another chug of her way-too-alcoholic-probably-drugged drink

"My ring's glowing?"

"Ring? You fuckin' engaged or somethin'?"

"No, it's like.. you know that leash Val always had me on? It was his magic or some shit, right? Well, husk turned that into a ring instead."

"Sounds like a proposal to me"

"Oh, fuck off!" Angel said with a chuckle"

"I'm sure it's nothing, just keep partying!"

"I guess you're right.. let's get this party started, bitch!!" Was Angel doing this to get today off his mind? No, definitely not.. what's wrong with partying with a friend, huh?

Husk entered the club, grumbling uncomfortably anytime some exotic dancer or even regular sinner got too close. He spotted Angel, the ring glowing brighter.

Husk grabbed Angel's wrist firmly

"Angel, we're leaving. Now." He growled

Angels eyes widened as he tried pulling away "Husk..? Hey, I-it's fine! I just went out for a few drinks.."

"Angel, I'm serious! We're going home!" Husk said as he tried to pull Angel out

"You can't control everything I do??"

"Well the fucking contract says otherwise!" Husk shouted a bit too aggressively, crowd growing silent, Angel's eyes widening in shock, staring at Husk in terror, as for a split second, the one demon he truly found solace in looked just like his past abuser.

"I-I'm sorry..!" Angels voice cracked softly as he stared at the ground.

Husk's ears instantly lowered, his own eyes widening in shock.. was that really him..?

"Angel.. I-"

"You're right. Let's go home.." Angel said coldly, not even making contact as he gently brushed past the overlord, staring down at the ground. Husk stood, unmoving, unsure of what to do, how to fix his mistake..

"So, uh... shots shots shots!!" Cherri bomb started, riling up the crowd once again which had gone silent.
