Anthony cooled off on his drive to work, though he wasn't having a good day today. He was a minute late and Valentino was pissed about it.

"Angel, if you're going to be late, you might as well come back home. Where you belong." His voice was so artificially sweet, but to Anthony it was like knives.

He put a hand on the spider's shoulder. Anthony knew what he was doing and he did his best not to let Val persuade him.

"Fuck you!" Angeldust yelled. "I don't need your shitty flat, I just want my fuckin paycheck." He stated.

Valentino slapped him two or three times, threw him across a room like the spider was weightless. Gave him five minutes to clean himself up and expected him onset. Anthony snorted a line of whatever drug he had hidden in his dressing room.  Luckily Valentino didn't see them cause, he would have flipped out if Angeldust brought drugs from someone else here.

Unfortunately, the disrespect set Valentino inna fit of rage. He pulled Anthony wherever he needed to be onset with a tight grip on his arm that most definitely left deep purple bruises.

On his way out the asshole tried to grab him and missed, so he ended up swiping Angeldust with his claws across the stomach.

"Gah! Fuck!" He yelled as he held his stomach and ran out of the studio as fast as he could.

He didn't want to go back to Husk's, not because he was mad. But because, Husk was right, it wasn't fair that he just kept expecting Husk, to be okay with him getting hurt every time he went to work. He was banged up pretty bad this time. No amount of makeup would cover this up. He went to his brother's. But, he texted Husk so he knew.  Anthony didn't want Husk thinking he was running away because, he was mad. He just needed help. He wouldn't have made it back to Husk's anyway not with how badly he was bleeding he'd probably pass out on the drive there. Arackniss was closer.

I'm off work. I'll be back later, heading to my brother's.

Husk sighed at the message. Just glad Anthony told him where he'd be instead of hiding.

The cat demon was unfortunately five bottles down and incredibly drunk because, it's been a while since he's drank like that.

Anthony drove off to the Arackniss's apartment. He stumbled up the up six flights of stairs holding pressure to his bleeding stomach because, this old ass building didn't have an elevator. He knocked on the door out of breath.

Arackniss answered it and his face went pale at the sight of his brother.

"Christ Tony, you look like shit." He stated.

Anthony walked in. He felt bad he should have called. His brother had company over and now he's in the way.

"The fuck happened?" Arackniss asked.

The taller spider tisked. "Valentino fuckin happened."

Arackniss raised one of his eyebrows in confusion. "Hey Jodi, can we finish this movie later?" He asked. The demon on Arackniss's couch groaned in protest but, she left. She had long black hair. She seemed to be a siren her eyes were glossy and white. But she had six squid like legs instead of a tail.

Anthony laid on his back on his brother's couch. He took off his shirt. His brother grabbed his make shift first aid kit, a wash cloth and a bottle of whiskey to disinfect the wound since he didn't have rubbing alcohol.

"The fuck you mean Valentino, I thought you were with Husk?" He asked. Before he handed the wash cloth to his brother to bite on.

"I am with Husk, I still got work though." He stated.
