The bittersweet victory

Chapter fourteen: insecurities

As Angel woke up he noticed something was off, he moved the blanket to look "Shit" He muttered, seeing his heels gone, he hurried to get up and find them "Angel what's wrong?" Husker blinked his eyes open, waking up from the noise "Nothing, just need to find something" Angel replied, trying to sound calm but Husker could hear some panic in his voice, "Angel, you're not fine" Husker got up, walking over to him "I am!" angel half yelled, grabbing his boots and hurriedly pulling them on, Husker wrapped his wings around him, "Angel, tell me what's wrong" "It's nothing" Angel pushed husk away, still trying to zip his boots up but fumbling with the zipper since he was rushing "Angel?" Husker stepped back "I'm fine" Angel finally finished zipping his boots up, "No you aren't" Husker could tell something was wrong "You can tell me" he tried to reassure Angel, though he didn't move any closer "It's just-" Angel started, but he stopped "Just what?" Husker asked, sitting down on the bed to give Angel more space "I don't like my paws" Angel explained "Why not?" Husker asked "Their ugly" Angel half yelled "They aren't ugly legs," Husker said "Don't lie" Angel looked back at Husker "I promise you I'm not lying" Husker wasn't really sure what to tell Angel, his paws just looked like normal spider paws. Husker walked up to Angel, offering him his hand, Angel looked at Husker for a moment before wrapping his arms around him "You really don't hate them?" He asked "Of course not, I love everything about" Husker Wrapped his wings around them "You know I don't like the fact I'm a cat" Husker admitted "How could you not like being a cat?" Angel asked "I'm just not a cat person," Husker shrugged "But cats are adorable," Angel said "Well so are your paws, but you still hate them" Husker replied, Angel didn't respond, he just buried his face in Husker's fur, "Thanks" He mumbled, "No problem" Husker smiled.
