After work the next day Angeldust went home and into his room, he shut the door. He changed into more comfortable clothes. He took off his makeup and assessed his injuries. He applied first aid oitment to his bleeding swollen lip and applied more makeup to conceal it, and the black eye. He left the room and went into the kitchen and opened the freezer to grab a Popsicle. But they were all out.

"Cherri can I borrow ya car!?!" He asked loudly. "We're out of Popsicles!"

"Go ahead!" She she yelled from her room, throwing her keys  through the doorway of her room Angeldust cought them in one of his middle hands.

"Thanks Sugartits!" He said before leaving the apartment. He locked the door behind him and walked into the elevator.

He walked out of the elevator, and into the lobby then out of the building and into the parking lot. He unlocked Cherri's car and went to the store. When he got there. He roamed the freezer aisle and filled the card with many different kind of popcicles. He had chocolate ones he had fruit ones he even got the cheap ice pop ones. He had more money than he knew what do with so he went down every aisle just grabbing odds and ends he thought he and Cherri would like, need, or want to try.

This was not unusual behavior for him. One time he came for a visit and bought her a whole rack of lamb, like it wasn't extremely expensive. she didn't even know how to cook it. She had to watch a Voxtube tutorial for it.

He shopped around for an hour.

He went up to the cash register with a full cart of groceries and he didn't bring any bags cause he was only supposed to by popcicles. Cherri was gonna kill him.

He paid for his groceries and went out to the parking lot, he unloaded the cart putting everything into the trunk. He got in the car put his phone on her car mount and face timed her before he left the parking lot.

She answered and her face appeared on the screen, she was in the living room now.

"I swear to Beelzebub, if you come home with the whole damn store loaded in my god damn car. I will never let you drive my car again."

Angeldust chuckled. Two hands on the wheel and one of his upper hands fixed his hair that fell to his face as he laughed.

"You fuckin did, didn't you?! Angie ya bitch!" She groaned rubbing her face.

He laughed.

"You love me. I'll be back in a bit." He said.

"Kay! I'll meet ya outside." She sighed.

When he arrived he parked the car close to the entrance where Cherri waited. He unlocked the car and they unloaded the groceries. Going into the building and then the elevator. They had to make two trips together but, they got everything into Cherri's apartment and put away quickly.

He grabbed one of the various popsicles and went to his room. He sat in a fluffy hot pink hanging chair, and scrolled on sinstagram as he ate the popsicle. He had one foot gently pushing against the floor making the chair rock almost effortlessly.

After a while, his thoughts started racing. He bit his lip wondering if he was going to regret his choices.

He didn't care.

He went to his profile the to his settings.

He unblocked a certain alcoholic. Didn't request to follow him or anything. There wasn't much of anything new, anyway.  Husk barely used his phone let alone social media.

He took a deep breath. Hesitating.

His thumb lingered over the button, but he didn't press it.

He groaned and put his phone down, rubbing his face with his top set of hands.

He picked up his phone again. He gritted his teeth and shut his eyes. As if the phone was going to explode if he touched the screen.

He thumb hit the screen, and opened a conversation. He hasn't even looked at this chat since they broke up. His inbox get flooded, though he never answers any of them. He likes the clout. But it meant dead conversations got pushed to the very bottom of the neverending list, the spider refused to sit through hours of scrolling, to delete all the messages.

The last two text shattered him.

They were from just, one day before their break up.

angie_fluffy_bootz

Luv u's too. X)

Angeldust took another deep breath.

He typed.

He restarted.

He typed again, and restarted again. He sighed deeply. He tilted his head back in annoyance with himself, and his brain for not thinking of better words.

He decided to stop thinking and just typed a simple message.

angie_fluffy_bootz

Hey.

Husk's phone made a strange noise. He furrowed his eyebrows and picked it up from the coffee table, with his free hand.  He sipped his booze, while looking at the lock screens. He raised one eyebrow, surprised at the notification.

Angeldust watched as the three dots appeared.

Hi???

Husk sat his phone back down, on the arm of the couch. Hs took another swig of his booze

Angel took a while to reply but, eventually he did.

angie_fluffy_bootz

Can we talk? Preferably in person?

Husk didn't know how to feel. It caught him off guard. He thought about it. Thought about what he wanted to say it and eventually answered with some casual variation of 'yes'.

They texted for a couple of minutes before, Angel grabbed a jacket and put on a pair of shoes. He hooked nuggets leashes to his collar. He walked out of his room and down the hall, into the living room.

"Cherri, I'll be back!" He called.

"Be safe,  jack ass!" She yelled back from her room.

He rolled his eyes. He couldn't blame her though, he didn't say where he was going. He never did. He left the apartment quickly.

Husk put on his hat filled his flask and left his apartment locking the door.

Angel left the apartment. Husk left his house flying to the spot Angel chose to meet at.

Angel strutted down the streets of hell with his pet, to a specific place in hell.
