Angel sat by his window, staring at his phone. It beeped like a madman, trying to get his attention.

"Angel?" Husk sat beside Angels perch on the floor. He looked like a statue, still and lifeless.

"hey..." he whisepered, eyes closing.

His arms were latched around his abdomen, and his forehead was creased in pain.

"one of the bad ddays..huh?" Husk asked, grasping Angels hand.

Angel just nodded, leaning his head on Husks shoulder. "He wont stop calling me" he whispered, scared as shit.

"you'll be fine... Hey, if he hurts you, then I'll personally slit his godamn throat." He made a fist with his hand, and hatred filled his eyes.

"Hey...I dont want to burden you" Angel blurted out, wrapping his arms around his knees.

"Your not- Your not burdening me!" Husk put out his hand, and Angel took it gratefully.

"Angel... I love you so much, and Valentino will never hurt you. Ever. "

Angel nodded, and leaned into Husks chest, it felt like there was a space indented just for him. Husks wings wrapped around him and they both just sat in silence.

"I love you too" Angel breathed, Arm wrapping around Husks.

Husk glanced down at his pocket, and he patted it to make sure the box was still there. It was.

"Angel..." He started, at the same time Angel asked "do you think I'll actually be redeemed?"

SHIT. Husk wasnt planning on that... shit shit shittidly shit shitfuck shit shit SHIT shit shit shit shit shit shit shittidiy shitshit shitoodle "Husk?"

"OH! Uhm, shit, probably?" he was startled, to say the least.

"but even if I do... how will I tell you guys- I-i I mean will you j-just live your life wondering if im okay!? Its not fair to you, o-or Charlie or Vaggie- O-or" Angel started to hiccup, tears streamed down his face.

"Husk- Whats going to happen? I dont kn-know and that scares the shit out of me." Angel grabbed onto Husks wings and shut his eyes.

Tears flew out like little doves, scattering across the pale pink carpet and shimmering like the untold past of the dead.

"I dont know either..." Husk confessed, trapping angels other hand against his chest.

"but whatever it is...you shouldnt be scared" He said that with enough confidence for the both of them.

"Whatever happens out there...whether you die, or you get to Heaven with no way of contacting us, I will always love you. And thats a thing you can always count on."

Angel sniffled, and Husk wiped his eyes with a hankerchief.

"im sorry im such a mess" Angel whispered as Fat Nuggetts leaped onto their laps. ANgel giggled and pat his head.

Husk gravitated his hand towards Angels cheek, and they both stared at eachother.

"someone else used to love me yknow" Husk whispered, folding himself into Angel. They both fit together like a leather glove on a winters day, warm and comforting.

"Her name was Chiffon... But when I left for the war..." Husks voice trailed off and he placed a hand on Angels head.

"She messed around with a few men, and when I came home she was pregnant."

Husk stared into Angels deep eyes, they were curious, yearning for more lore about Husks past

"So...I turned to the bottle... I mean can you blame me?" Husk chuckled "she divorced me, ran away with some rich German prick, and I shot myself at the age of 74"
