Y/N was sitting at the bar, sipping on her cocktail, eyes shamelessly studying Husk's features. From the cute love hearts on his fur, to the patterned dots on his folded wings.

Husk knew you were staring him down, he'd have to be blind not to notice. But he was also keeping track of how many drinks you've consumed, and he knew it was more than enough to get you a bit tipsy.

"Ya know you can take a picture, it would last longer" His comment made you snap out of the trace he had on you, and a slight blush raise to your cheeks.

"Sorry I just.....can I ask you a question?"

His eyebrow raised at you a bit hesitant "Sure, what's on your mind"

"Well I was wondering....why is it you look so...." Husk tensed up a bit, guard on high, fully expecting you to ask why the hell he became a furry "...well so magical?"

He hesitated, surprised by the question. Now it was his turn to blush. He half laughed at your wording, "Well truthfully gambling isn't the only skill I have. I also used to do some magic"

"Used to?" You questioned

"Well yeah I haven't done magic in....well since I ended up down here"

You hummed in response acknowledging his answer. A brief moment of silence passed while the gears turned in your head. "OH MY SATAN CAN YOU SHOW ME A MAGIC TRICK PLEASE!!"

Your sudden loudness caught him by surprise and then he laughed. "I don't think so doll"

"Oh pleaseeeee" you practically whined.

Husk couldn't help but think about how nice it sounded...you begging him. "If I show you a trick what's in it for me? Will you pay me for my services?" Husk smirked.

You looked at him with a tilted head quizzingly "You know I'm broke Husk what could I give you?"

Husk sighed. The flirty comment went right over your head in your tipsy state. 'Dammit I thought alcohol was supposed to make people more flirty' he thought to himself. "I'll tell ya what. If you remember this conversation tomorrow then maybe, MAYBE, I'll show you a trick or two" he winked at you.

"You got a deal!" You said happily before downing the rest of your drink and heading to your room for bed.

There's no way you're letting yourself forget.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day you quickly threw on a random outfit to race down to the lobby and see if Husk was at his usual spot.

Once you got to the lobby you saw that the bar was actually empty. 'Hm I guess he slept in' you thought.

You sat at the bar swinging your feet in anticipation to see when Husk would make his way down.

Finally after what seemed like eternity, you saw Husk slowly walk into the lobby. He seemed super groggy and was rubbing his eyes in attempt to wake himself up.

"Husk you're finally awake!"

Husk jumped slightly at your loud greeting and scowled a bit "What the hells with the loud greeting?"

"Sorry" you said bashfully, "rough night?"

"Nah, not really I just uh, had a late night" you nodded in acknowledgment.

You sat expectedly in your seat, practically jumping with excitement. Husk took his time getting settled behind the bar. "Alright what's getting you all excited?"

"Ohhh just our conversation last night~" you replied teasingly.

Husk paused, he half expected you to forget the conversation from the previous night. But then again you weren't exactly wasted. "Damn, you really remembered" Husk smirked as you smiled gleefully. "Alright doll watch closely"

Husk pulled a deck of cards out from his pockets. Fully prepared for this moment despite his so called hesitation from before. "Don't judge me if this doesn't work, it has been a while" he said despite skillfully shuffling the cards before fanning them to you, showing you both sides to prove that it was a normal deck. "Alright pick a card"

"Any card?" You teased.

He rolled his eyes at you but couldn't fight the smile that creeped onto his face. After picking a card he instructed you to memorize the card, then to place it randomly back into the deck.

He offered to let you shuffle the deck for proof of no trickery but you declined, not wanting to make a fool of yourself in comparison to his skilled shuffle from before. He shrugged and continued to shuffle the deck.

"Alright here's the fun part" he started before lifting the first card on the deck to face you, "is this your card?"

Despite the smirk on his face you noticed that it was not in fact your card. You hesitated a bit 'should I lie and say it is?'

The hesitation and disappointment must've been obvious on your face because Husk laughed. Despite your confusion he continued, "I'm just fucking with ya, look in your pocket". He winked at you before you stuck a hand in your pocket.

"Holy shit" you said as you pulled a card out from your back pocket. True enough it was the card you picked "How the fuck did you do that??"

He laughed at your excitement "A magician never reveals his secret doll"

You blushed as a goofy smile took over your face. "Alright now how am I supposed to pay you back?"

Husk was surprised you remembered that comment from last night too, and even more so, brought it up. "Oh I can think of a few ways" he said as he leaned towards your face more.

(Flashback to Husk the night before after you left him at the bar)

Husk was in his room cursing under his breath, practicing the card trick for the 11th time. Or was it the 12th? Honestly he lost track three tries ago. It was well into the witching hour and Husk had a stayed up all night practicing different tricks for you. Ya know just in case you remember.....which he hopes you will.
