Wanna Bet?

A/N: This is an AU where Husk is still an overlord when he meets Angel Dust.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Husk's POV

I was sat at the bar at the V's headquarters, had to come for a big overlord meeting or some shit. The doors slammed open and that moth fucker Valentino walked in, a white furred boy beside him. Well, not all white, there was pink too. He had stripes and hearts all over him, and...holy shit, he has four arms? I had to admit, he was pretty cute, if not a little too skinny for his own good, he also looked really uncomfortable next to Valentino.

"Are you excited for the shoot tonight, Angel cakes?" Val says to the boy.

"Can't wait!" Angel Dust said, suddenly changing his entire demeanor like someone flipped a switch.

I knew that fucker Val well, and he was horrible. If I was gonna keep him from hurting this boy, I had to act as soon as I could.

...

Angel's POV

I laid in my bed, trying my best to keep the sobs quiet. That fucker, god he makes me sick. But what can I do? I'm just his whore, a little toy. Nothing more.

I heard my door creak open, I sat bolt upright in my bed, expecting to see Valentino. But I did not expect to see the cat from the bar standing here.

"What are you doing in my room, whiskers?" I asked, my voice shaky. Oh, fuck. What was he gonna do? I can't take anymore tonight, I can't... I'm already so sore...

"Calm down, kid. I'm not here for that." He says, closing the door behind him. "My name's Husk, what's yours?"

"Angel Dust." I said quietly.

"No, it's not." Husk said dryly.

"How would you know?" I asked, irritated.

"Val gives all his 'lovers' names like that. Besides, no one comes down here named something like 'Angel Dust'." Husk said simply. "So, tell me your name. Your real name."

"Anthony." I sniffled. "I'm Anthony." Fuck, it felt good to say that.

"Hi, Anthony. It's nice to meet you." Husk said, wiping away a tear I didn't even realize was there. I melted into his touch on some sort of instinct. It was so bizarre, I didn't even really know him and yet, I trusted him. Entirely.

"You just be a little patient, I'll get you out of that deal you made, alright?" Husk says.

"You can't." I say sadly. "You can't get me out."

"Wanna bet?" Husk says with a grin, and I couldn't help the smile that came onto my face.

Husk's POV

I was sat at the table playing a round of cards with the other overlords. Val was right across from me with Angel beside him, to my right was Velvette and Vox, and to my left was Rosie and the radio guy, Alastor. Fuck, that dude is creepy.

"Come on, Huskie. You're losing your poker face. I could call your bluff a mile away." Valentino says with a chuckle.

"Ah, ain't you ever learned nothing, young buck?" I said with a smirk, I could feel the hatred radiating off him.

"Very well then, what's your bet, kitten?" Val sneered.

"If I win, Angel is mine." I say. The entire room went silent, and Val looked like someone just chopped his mothballs off.

"You're on, pussycat."

-Angel POV-

I was in shock. A bet? He's betting on me?! This is his plan to free me from Val? Oh, fuck, this is gonna go badly--

"Husk, you fucking cheat!" Val shouted. I looked down at the cards, and my eyes went wide. Husk...he won? He won the bet?

I looked up at Husk in shock. He gave me that smirk and stood up, taking my hand and leading me away from the table.

"You fucking bastard! You'll never be allowed among the overlords ever again after this!" Val screeched.

"Like I really wanted to be around all of you." Husk said. "Especially the old timey freak!"

I snickered as Husk lead me out of the building, taking me to his apartment a few blocks away. It was a really nice place, with a black leather and dark wood furniture, and...holy crap, that's a big bar.

"Can I get you a drink?" Husk asked.

"Um...you got any soda?" I asked. I hadn't had a soda in ages.

"Sure thing, kid." He said, reaching into the fridge and pulling out a glass bottle of Coca-Cola and popping the top off with a claw.

"Thank you." I say softly.

"No problem." Husk says, taking a seat beside me.

"Want me to cook us some dinner?" I suggest. "I'm starving."

"Can you even cook?" Husk asks.

"What? Of course I can!" I say with a laugh. "My parents were Italian, of course I can cook!"

-Husk POV-

"Well, I'll be damned, you can cook." I say in surprise. "This is probably the best damn spaghetti I've had in my life!"

"Thanks. My ma taught me how to cook." Anthony says. "She used to stand me and my sister up on one of her kitchen chairs and let us cook with her. My brother would be there too."

"You miss em, don't you?" I say.

"Sometimes. I mean, ain't talked to my brother in years, even before my...my overdose." He said with a sigh.

"Hey, chin up." I say, holding his cheek in my hand. "You're here now. Maybe it's time you start trying to just...I don't know, make the most of what you've got here?"

"I think I will, whiskers." He says softly, and suddenly his lips crashed into mine.

-Angel POV-

I'm not sure what came over me. All of a sudden, I just...kissed him. I was about to pull away when pulled me in closer, gently holding my hair in his grip. I grabbed onto him with all six hands, crawling into his lap. I could feel how hard he was getting, but all of a sudden he broke off the kiss, looking regretful for some reason.

"We shouldn't-- I shouldn't do this, Anthony." He says, looking me in the eye. "I don't want you to feel like that's all I see in you."

"Silly kitty, I know that's not all you see in me. But you gotta admit..." I say softly, moving my lips beside his ear. "It is a pretty sweet perk..."

I heard him growl deep in his throat before suddenly I was hoisted up in his arms and we were walking towards his bedroom. I chuckled as we stumbled into his bed, this was the happiest I've felt in years.

"We don't have to do anything you don't want to." He says softly, looking at me with those beautiful red eyes.

"Oh, trust me. I want to." I say breathlessly, wrapping my legs around his waist. "What you waiting for, whiskers?"

The room was dark, except for some light spilling through the gaps in the curtains. My head was on Husk's chest, listening to the purr of his breathing. I sighed and relaxed into his side, thoroughly content for the first time in years. As I closed my eyes I thought to myself, Who woulda thought that gambling would actually make somebody's life better?!
