Never Enough Time | Huskerdust

Chap 16 - Hurt

A/N: Welcome! This is really the same chapter as the (towards the end) last one just as Husk's POV so I guess technically you don't have to read it but... I always enjoy your thoughts and reads! Have a good time reading.

Husk POV

"Misty, go check on Angel Dust." She quickly looks to me, "tell him that Naveah is here, along with Cherri Bomb."

She nods and leaves quickly, swerving through people to head up to the elevator.

"You! Kitty Cat!" I look at one of the light fixtures in annoyance at the-oh so delightful-sound of the bomber's voice.

I try to act like I didn't hear her but she steps in front of me, blocking my vision by waving her arms and I have to look at her. "What do you need, Pinky?"

She holds up her middle finger before crossing her arms, "my name's not Pinky, asshole."

I lean right up in her face, "I'm afraid my name's not Kitty Cat, either, so we're even." I raise an eyebrow as she goes to challenge me but before she can do anything, the elevator door dings and everyone looks over.

Cherri Bomb sticks out her tongue before leaving, "fine, I didn't want to see you anyway." She says before going up the stairs. Naveah follows closely behind and I scoff.

I turn my gaze back to the elevator in time to see Angel Dust step out of the doors looking disheveled as if he just got ran over my a bus.

Apparently, no one else seems to notice as they just smile and/or go back to their conversations.

Angel plays off his panic as Rosie and Alastor walk over to him... really Alastor's just following her but who's watching?

They talk back and forth and I walk over.

"She talks 'bout me?" Rosie nods, "all good things I hope?" Angel asks as if it doesn't mean as much to him as his facial expression.

His smile falls slightly and his eyes loose focus for a moment before he shakes it off, listening back to Rosie.

Rosie nods and smiles wider, "of course! Everything she says is great, she gets so annoyed talking about when she was trying to talk to heaven about you, they just don't listen!" A small, genuine smile comes from Angel at Rosie's words.

Angel doesn't looks fully convinced though, "She really says that?"

Rosie laughs, her smile growing wider by the minute, "of course! I haven't heard a bad thing about you from any one of them at that hotel..." She elbows Al, "Right Alastor?"

Al's smile tightens and I can see that he almost rolls his eyes. I almost laugh, "sure, nothing bad from Charlie or Vaggie."

Angel and Rosie laugh as Alastor's eye twitches before he composes himself, wiping his coat to compose himself.

"Yes, well. We've all had our moments." I snip in to the conversation and Angel whips around in surprise, Alastor and Rosie smiling at me.

"Sir." Angel gives a polite nod and I give an apologetic smile to the two overlords before saying...

"Angel, may I talk to you?"

He shrugs easily, "sure."

I lead him to the worker's area that we then go to the break room.

I open up the door to the break room, holding it for Angel and he walks in nervously.

I shut the door behind us both and I walk up behind Angel, only stopping when I see him freeze, I can smell the fear rolling off him.
