Ch. 4. Acceptance

In the morning, husk quietly went to his stand. He sat down, not bothering to touch any coffee. It was all just beer. He watched a gittery Angel happily glide down the stairs. He smiled a little, before remembering what had happened the night before. His smile faded before Angel could even acknowledge it.

"G'mornin baby cakes!"
Angel said, sitting in front of husk.

"Don't call me that."
Husk snarled a little, which made angel laugh.

"Say, what happened to it being too early to drink, hm?"
Angel tilted his head, a little confused.

"Yeah well, something happened and I just wanted to take it off my mind a little."

"Ooh, drama? Family drama? Relationship problems? Fill me in!"
Angel said, intrigued.

"Ah, it's nothing you should worry yourself about."
Husk replied, chugging the last of his drink.

"Ah, okay.."
Angel said, disappointed.
"Why aren't you in uniform?"

"Oh I uh..spilled um..beer on it, last night. I took a drink with me up to bed and I tripped on the staircase on the way up, wasting a little."

"Oh."
Angel said, skeptically.
"Well, I have the day to myself! Since Val doesn't want me to come back until I feel better."
Angel smiled.

"That's nice."
Husk replied, happy that Valentino let him have a break. But he was unaware the consequences angel would have had to face when he comes back. He stared at the counter, before his chin being lifted by angel, who was just looking at him.

"Something must be wrong."
Angel said. He leaned a little closer to the cat, making husk back up out of pure reflexes.

"Trust me, nothing's the matter. Like I said, just dealing with some problems, is all."

"But I wanna help!"

"No."

"Yes!"

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Fine-"
Angel sighed and slumped back in his seat.
"Can you make me a drink?"

"Mnmhm."

Husk tried one of his new recipes, and pushed a shot of it next to angel, who took it and gulped the whole thing.
He sighed, and turned in his seat.

"So I was thinking.."
Angel said, watching husk look at him.
"Maybe we can try it a-"

"No."

"Why?"

"Just no."

"But-"

"No."

"Please?"

"Nope."

"..please husker~?"
Angel said in a seductive tone, begging for him.
"I'll do anything ya' want?"

Husks mouth quivered a bit. He growled in annoyance, and turned away.

"YAY!"
Angel shouted.
"Meet me in my room later?"

"Why in your room?"
He was skeptical of the spiders question, unsure whether to accept it or not.

"Because..doing it here isn't that comfortable."
Angel obviously was lying, but husk just decided to play along so angel wouldn't be disappointed. Usually when Angel got mad at husk, angel would avoid husk and be bitchy about it until husk accepted what he wanted. Which pissed husk off. But it was cute at the same time.

"Alright."
Husk replied, not wanting to argue with angel again. He began shining his bottles.

"No but seriously, thank you for last night. I don't think I would've been able to sleep without that- without you."
Angel smiled, scratching husks ear a little, making husk tense and smack his hand.

"Don't..touch that."
He turned a little red, and just turned away again, avoiding contact with angel, who was holding back his laugh.

"Why not?"

"Just don't."

"Alright, kitty~"

"And don't call me that!"

Angel began to laugh, and he got up, turning to leave.
"I'll see you later! I'm going to abuse my freedom."

"Yeah well, good luck with that."
Husk said, grumbly as he watched the spider skip away. He sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"What am I going to do.."
