Story of Another Us | Huskerdust AU

YEARS AGO

"Husky are you sure you don't mind?" Angeldust asked.

Husk tilted his head with a half smile. He slowly blinked. He softly placed a finger under the spider's chin. They were sitting in their apartment (Angel still called it Husk's but it was theirs.) on the couch, some show playing for background noise, to drown out the screams and murders and whatever else usually happens on the streets of hell.

"Angie, baby, I don't care. You got your vices, I got mine. If that's how you want to pay for them, fine by me baby."  Husk assured.

Angel bit his lip.

"But, that's not fair t-"

"If I offered to pay for your drugs would you take it?" The cat demon asked.

Angel shook his head.

"So then what is the problem?" The winged cat demon asked.

The spider sighed. He didn't know how to answer.

But in his mind he knew the problem. He felt unloyal, as if his payment for his drugs was disrespectful to his relationship. Which sure it could be looked at that way but, Husk didn't care. He met Angel while he was looking for a fix. It wasn't a secret that he sold his body for any drug he could get. Husk fell in love with the spider dispite that fact. He didn't care when they were just friends, he didn't care now.

In the spider's life his father's 'buisness' was strictly drug. Yes he was a mob boss but he was running the biggest drug cartel in the city. His father was careful not to let his boys too close. Anthony and his brother never did anything more the raids and weighing up some drugs. It was free labor and for every ten bags of drugs they could bag two bags of whatever they wanted. It was a pretty good trade off. It kept them busy and away from the shit that could get them killed.

Anthony heard of designer drugs but, he and his brother didn't know what the fuck they were.

Life flashback

"They're like Hollywood drugs right? Like expensive?" He wondered chatting with his sister one day while they were smoking weed.

"I don't know Tony and I'd rather not talk about your addictions! We're fuckin in highschool and you're-" Molly started but, her twin cut her off.

"You're in school! Fuck that school, shit." He stated before taking a few more hits off the soda can Anthony turned into a makeshift bowl.  He passed it to his sister.

"Be fuckin careful! If you cut your lip, I'm not telling mom." He stated before passing it to her. "I'm in enough shit as it is."

She nodded.

"Fuck you. I'm not stupid!" Molly rolled her eyes. Taking a hit off of the soda can.

Angeldust was still under the impression designer meant really expensive and really high quality when he died. He had no idea they were just chemically deconstructed to be untraceable in a drug test. They tend to be more potent too and because of the process that was why they were expensive. They were beyond synthetic.

Cherribomb didn't fuck with synthetic drugs. If she was gonna put chemicals in her body she was gonna know what chemicals were going into her body! Angel didn't fuck with them because Cherri didn't fuck with them. She's never given him a reason to not trust her. She's the realest bitch down here.

Valentino failed to mention that little detail, when he offered his supply to the spider.
