Anthony felt much better after getting his thoughts off his chest. He and Husk were currently at the Casino. Cherribomb couldn't make it this time due to one of Charlie's exercises but, the rest of the hoes were there to cheer him on and Charlie agreed to let her on a face time so, she could at least see part of it.

Anthony preformed five songs, so he took his usuall break, and walked over to the bar. He ordered a shot of tequila. Husk was short staffed today, one of his souls got in some trouble and apparently disappeared. Mildly annoying but, what're ya gonna do. He was sat at a table playing a regular game with normal stakes. The spider ordered a second shot of the same alcohol. Chatting with the bartender and looking around for Husk.

"Table seven." The bartender chuckled.

"Thanks dollface." Anthony said downing his second shot. He handed the bartender a twenty for her to buy herself a drink, then he started walking off.

Husk laid his cards down with a chuckle. "Better luck next time fellas." He stated. He had to admit His deal did make his job a lot easier, and it kept the guests from realizing he was cheating. But, that's what all casinos do, you don't make money if people win. It's no different than the rigged games at Lulu World. The other people at the table threw their cards on the table in annoyance before walking away. Husk just won $50,000 for the casino.

A new set of players sat down as Anthony approached the table and sat in Husk's lap, straddling him. The cat demon was taken aback though. The group of people raised eyebrows at them. Husk didn't mind all that much but, there was a time and place and working wasn't that time.

"Tony, the hell ya doing?" He asked his tone was soft though his words weren't.

"What? I can't see my boyfriend while I'm on my break?" He asked.

Husk sighed. "I'm still working." He mentioned.

Anthony looked around only then realizing the table wasn't empty anymore. He apologized and sat on the arm of the chair with a hand around Husk's neck. It wasn't much but, Husk wasn't going to argue, it was still more appropriate than Anthony straddling him at a poker table. "Ya got a game in mind?" The cat demon asked the group of players. Two shrugged and looked at another, who also shrugged.

"Oh-kaay." Was all Husk said. It was obvious these guys were new to gambling.

So, Husk chose a simple game, that was commonly known as 'baseball'. Making threes and Nines wild. He was going to win anyway but, ya gotta let the newbies think they got a chance or they won't come back.

Anthony raised an eyebrow. Watching the game. It was obvious the group was cheating to him. From Husk's seat, and his height he wouldn't have noticed but, Anthony sure did. The three players each had one hand under the table and were passing cards back and forth. Anthony tapped the cat demon, getting his attention. He tilted his head at them discreetly. Husk's eyebrows furrowed.

When the spider spoke again he used his pornstar voice. He was gonna make this game uncomfortable as shit, for the assholes who think cheating against Husk, was gonna help them. "Ya playing wif yaselves or sumthin? Com'on 'ands above da table assholes!"

Their eyes went wide. Husk's lips folded together as he did his best to hold in his laugh. They listened though. As expected Husk won. Angry the group of demons left. Leaving the owner of the casino and his beloved boyfriend alone.

The spider straddled Husk again. His legs jutting out of the fabric through the thigh high slits on either side. He wrapped his two hands around Husk's neck. Husk's hand was on his hips gently pushing Anthony away.

"Baby!" He groaned. Although, he was doing his best not to sound angry. "We're in the middle of the casino, for Christ sakes." He explained.

Anthony pouted, crossing his lower arms.

"Buuut Huuuuuskeeeeeyyyy!" He whined.

The cat demon shook his head. "Oh stop. I know damn well, what you're doing. You can wait til we're not working. Ya wanna cuddle, that's fine. Ya want me to hold ya, that's also fine. But this, ain't fine. I mean com'on. There's so many people here." Husk stated calmly.

Anthony didn't really think of it like that.  He was all too accustomed to Valentino, who expected the spider to be all over him, all the time. Wether Anthony wanted to be or not. Now he wants to be all over Husk, and finding that, balance was difficult. The two shots of tequila wasn't helping matters.

The spider sighed and nodded, though he hung his head disappointed in himself. Husk didn't mean for that.

Husk wrapped his arms around Anthony's waist. "Tony look at me." The spider's head was still low but he looked at Husk with just his eyes. Husk softly placed a hand under his chin slightly lifting his head.

"You're fine. I'm not mad. It's not a no, it's a not right now. Ya understand? Don't need to sulk or be sorry. It's okay."

The spider nodded. Husk kissed his cheek Anthony unwrapped his legs from around Husk and sat in a chair near him.

"Okay." Was all he said.

Husk leaned over and kissed his boyfriend's cheek. "Good. Do ya want another drink before ya go back on?" He asked the spider.

Anthony nodded and took Husk's hand in his after, the fluffy cat demon with red wings, stood. They walked to the bar, where Anthony just came from.
