Love is a weakness. At least that's how Valentino sees it. He managed to turn it into a weapon too. If exterminations were justified Valentino should have been at the very TOP of that list. But no, the stupid exorcists don't care who they kill as long as they meet or exceed their quota.

Anthony's heart was definitely his downfall. He was smart enough to had listen to Cherri about the moth the first time, he was given the pink drugs as payment. But, after He and Husk split he just didn't care anymore. How could he? He didn't like himself even a little bit, he didn't have Husk. When Val asked him out, he didn't think twice. He longed for anything that would take his heartache away.

The duo was currently at the Casino Anthony finished the first half of his performances so he was in the office witu Husk, going through paperwork as boring as it was. He groaned. The cat demon wore his reading glasses.

"Numbas are stupid!" He whined throwing his head forward and gently onto the desk he was sitting at.

Husk sighed and chuckled quietly. "Numbers are important part of life, baby."

"Yeah and? We're dead. Fuck this shit." He waved his hands at the paper work before he crossed his arms.

The reality was Anthony didn't care about the mind numbing subjects even if they were part of everyday life. If it wasn't fun it wasn't for him.

"Baby." Husk groaned put two fingers between his eyes, trying his best to be patient with the spider, who asked to help dispite how much he hated paperwork.

The spider looked at him with his eyebrows raised. "Hm?"

"Can I try something?" asked the cat demon with bright red wings.

Anthony shrugged. Husk took the paper he was looking at, and thought about how he could simplify the numbers for the spider. He decided to round down instead of up because working with less numbers would be easier.

"If you had $250 in drugs, and you needed to have $575 in drugs, how much more would you need?" He asked.

At first Angel's eyebrows furrowed. His eyes went wide.  This probably wasn't the best analogy to use. The spider ran a hand through his hair as he sighed a sigh that almost sounded like a whistle.

"Goddamn dat's a lot of drugs."

The older, cat demon shook his head and chuckled.

"Just answer the question, jack ass."

Angel's face stiffened as he thought about it.

It took him a few minutes to answer but eventually he did.

"325?" He asked.

Husk nodded. "Now add a few zeros and figure out the change."

He thought about it, and wrote what he thought was the right answer on the paper, right where the number needed to be.

"Did I do dat rite?" He asked.

Husk lowered his glasses and looked at the paper through them. He waved a hand not worried about it it at all.

"Hmm, You're within the margin, If it's wrong we'll fix it later." Husk assured.

Anthony blushed. He was surprised at himself. Husk wasn't though. Most things Anthony was 'bad' at, he just didn't try because, he had no interest in it. Husk only simplified the numbers because, having six different numbers to add or subtract from another set of six numbers, was quite a lot, especially for someone who didn't like math. It wasn't at all because, he thought Anthony was dumb. He just needed assistance, and something he was interested in. He didn't like math but, he liked drugs. It gave him a reason to actually think. His eyebrows furrowed though.
