Story of Another Us | Huskerdust AU

83

Husk wasn't summoned at the hotel and he was only at the Casino for an hour. Anthony was in his room working on a song he's done a lot of that lately since he had a lot of free time now.  Hes been skipping work a ton.

Husk walked into their home, immediately hearing the sound of Anthony's guitar plucking. He sat his keys on the stand by the door and wandered down the hall. He stood outside the door way watching the spider quietly not wanting to interrupt him. There was a soft smile on his cat like face. Once the spider had stopped strumming, Husk tapped on the door that was open with two knuckles. Anthony turned his attention to Husk. Fat Nuggets was also in the room curled up in one of the pet beds Anthony got for him. There was also one in the living room and one in their bedroom.

"Oh hey!" Anthony greeted, putting his guitar on the stand beside him. He patted the couch inviting Husk to sit beside him. "When did ya get home?" He wondered.

Husk walked into the room and sat on the couch wrapping an arm around the spider. "Couple minutes ago."

Anthony laid his head on the cat demon's shoulder and Husk kissed the top of his head. The spider tilted his head a bit and looked at Husk.

"Did you wanna hear it?" Anthony asked.

The winged tipsy demon put a finger to his mouth like he was thinking. "Hmm... No, I knocked on the door cause I just wanted to sit here." He tisked.

Anthony nudged him and sat up grabbing his guitar again. He plugged it into the amp this time.

Husk sipped from his flask as Anthony strummed the guitar with a pick.

"Wildflower, fingertips on me. I can feel them still. Stained hearts trying to find a home. Looking for something real." Sang the spider with a soft smile as he looked up from the strings to Husk's eyes.

"I said meet me downtown at the dive bar, You're the only one that makes me feel alive. I can't keep drowning in the shadows. Here I am, lay it all on the line."

Husk just sat and listened. Sipping from his flask on occasion.

"I don't wanna kill my time with somebody else! Dancing in the dark 'til the sun comes. Tangled in the sheets 'til the day's done. I don't wanna kill my time with somebody else.
In a city full lonely people, I just want you all to my self." One of Anthony's free hands each over and held Husk's face by his chin softly.

Anthony continued singing until he finished the song. He unplugged his guitar and set it on the stand again. Husk had a shit eating grin on his face. "All to yourself huh?" He asks.

The spider giggled and pulled Husk closer to him and placed a soft kiss on his lips. The cat demon was quick to kiss back.

"The tabloids like ta say I'm selfish. Ta an extent dey're right." He mentioned.

Husk rolled his eyes and pushed the spider's shoulder gently. "Fuck da magazines and the paparazzi, Tony."

Anthony laughed. Then it was silent for a bit...... He eventually broke it again.

"You wanna go somewhere?" He wondered.

Husk tilted his head. "Whatcha got in mind?"

Anthony shrugged. "Our spot?"

Husk looked confused. We have a spot? He wondered.

The spider playfully smacked his chest.

"The bridge?!"

Husk chuckled. "Oh? I thought that was your spot."

The spider shrugged. "It was, til ya kissed me under it. Now it's ours."
