Imprisoned Pair | A Huskerdust Fanfiction

Chapter 8: Love Potion

     Husk was so taken aback by what Angel said. "What..?" He manages to get out.

     Angel rubs his elbow. "I.. I love Val, and Val loves me! I can fucking see him if I want!"

"Val doesn't love you!" Husk tries. "He loves to control you!"

"What the fuck would you know?!" Angel yells as he picks up his bags. "It's not like you've ever fucking looked my way!" He picked up his bag, turned around and started to head out.

"Hold on!" Husk stopped Angel as he tried to leave the room, grabbing his wrist. Angel yelped in pain, harshly throwing Husk off of him and to the floor. "Ah!" He cries. Husk looked up realizing he had grabbed Angel's wrist, which was bruised. "Fuck, I- I'm so sorry, Angel."

"You always go on and on and fucking on about how Val treats me like shit, but how about you take a look at yourself for fucking once?" Angel snaps. "I'm done with this fucking hotel and I'm done with you!" Husk was desperate to get Angel to stay. His heart was pounding but he leapt to his feet, grabbing hold of the spider's bag. "Let go!"

"No!" Husk insists. "Not until you calm down!"

     "Oh, fuck off!" Angel yells, as the two fought for his bag. Husk gave one more harsh tug as he fell back, reclaiming victory over the tug of war. Unfortunately, the zipper had snapped off and out came flying all of Angel's belongings.

Clothes were scattered across the floor, but most noticeably of all a clear bottle fell onto the floor, the cap flying off and the drink spilling everywhere.

"Fuck!" Angel cries as he runs and picks up the bottle trying to save as much of it as he can. "Look what ya fucking did!"

Husk immediately realized what that was. He knew a lot of the Vees, especially the trouble they caused back when he was an overlord. Velvette and Val were notorious for the odd concoctions they'd create, that being love potions.

"Oh Lucifer..." Husk mutters, as he quickly realized what was going on. His heart hurt for the spider. He looked up at Angel, who clutched the potion very closely. "Angel, baby," he says calmly, as he stood up, trying to approach the spider who angrily glared at him. "I get it. This isn't you."

"Now what the fuck does that mean?"

Husk gently gestured to the potion in his hand. "Listen. I was an overlord for many years, I know the shit Velvette and Val make. That.. baby.. that's a love potion." Angel uncomfortably took a step back as Husk said those words.

Angel hesitated. "No it isn't," is all he could say.

Husk gave Angel a sympathetic look as Angel started shaking, tears falling down. "Baby," Husk says, coming closer to Angel, who fell to his knees, sobbing. "Did Valentino ever give you any of that?"

Angel was crying heavily but made eye contact with Husk, and gently nodded. "H-He g-gave it to me w-when I—I-.." Angel's eyes widened. "Fuck. I can't even remember."

"Oh, baby," Husk says as Angel cried more. Husk spread his arms out, but hesitated. "Can I hug you?"

Angel nodded as Husk wrapped his arms around the spider who heavily sobbed into his shoulder. "I.. i thought.. I thought I loved.. I thought he loved.."

"Shhh," Husk says, as he realized Angel was on the brink of hyperventilating. "Just breathe."

And the two sat there together, Husk gently rubbing Angel's back as he tried to reclaim his lost memories.
