57

Anthony woke up first. Yawning louder than he anticipated and hoped it didn't wake up Husk. He stretched a bit and sat up but Husk pulled him closer and opened one eye.  He still had Husk's hat on.

Husk groggily spoke. "Wha' are you doing?" He also yawned but it sounded like a cat.

Anthony placed a hand on Husk's cheek and ruffled the fur with his fingers making the cat demon pur.

"I was gonna make breakfast." Anthony admitted.

Husk smiled at the thought. Anthony really was something special, to Husk. He wants to take Anthony on dates but, if word ever got round to Valentino there would be big problems. The cat demon can't help but feel bad though. He wasn't able to spoil the spider how he wanted to before due to his business not doing we

He held the spider tighter, sinking more into the couch cushions. He shook his head protestantly.

"How bout we make breakfast together?" Husk wondered.

Anthony blushed and nodded and the two sat up, then stood. They wandered into the kitchen. Anthony grabbed pancake mix from the cabinet. He made blueberry ones for Husk. And he poured sprinkles into his own, pretending it was funfetti.  Husk cooked up some Italian sweet sausage for breakfast and some eggs.

He hip bumped Husk, who nudged him back. Anthony threw pancake flour at Husk, who snickered.  The spider giggled too.

After the pancakes were done, he stacked them all onto a plate, he made about four for each of them. Anthony sat on the counter behind Husk watching him cook.

He didn't realize it last night but, his legs ached and burned. He didn't really want to remember what Valentino did, but he was very rough about it. There were scratches around his thighs and bruises from Val's hand around his writs and thighs. He didn't see it yet, but he felt sharp pain in his shoulder. He felt vile.

Disgusting whore.

Cheating lil bitch

Why does Husk put up with you?

You don't deserve love.

All of his insecurities belittled him in his mind. Husk put two eggs on each plate and three links of sausage as well. They sat at the small table in the kitchen and took a couple of pancakes each to start with.

It was quiet except for the background noise of the TV.

Anthony was the one to cut it this time.

"Soooo, How was our break for you?" Anthony wasn't sure he actually wanted to hear it but he did want to know more about Husk's ex.

The cat demon chuckled. He just realized they forgot drinks. He stood up from the table and grabbed two glasses he poured orange in each one but, he also poured a bit of Vodka into his. He sat back down and gave Anthony the non alcoholic drink.

"You want to know about the whole five years?" He wondered.

Anthony nodded. "I mean yeah.  My life ain't  changed all that much til, two years ago, we haven't really talked about how it was for you." He mentioned.

Husk nodded. He took a bite more from his pancake and sipped his drink.

"Really Husky? A screwdriver at fuckin nine in the Morning?" He wondered.

Husk blushed, getting caught. He knew Anthony didn't really care that he drinks. It's the amount, that bothers him. It was the same way, Husk felt about Tony's drugs. He didn't care that he gets high, if that's how he copes, and has a good time that's fine. But, being on several different substances at once sounded like suicide. Anthony puts so many chemicals into his body it's more than worrisome.
