Flashback bitches

Roughly 8 years ago, nearing the third year into their friendship.

Husk's casino opened later in the day. Towards the evening. He leaves early to make sure everything is good and ready for operation, hours prior. It was just after new years Eve, He was invited to a party the night before, a certain friend of his was hosting. He wasn't all that interested, however.

The cat demon groaned as he thought about not going.

'Angel has NO concept of boundaries. He fuckin pissed me off so much sometimes! Fuckin flirty bastard.' He thought to himself.

He didn't really want to see, what Angel was like when he was wasted. But, he was still extremely heated with his other friends, for being absolute assholes because, he was trying to be nice to the prostitute. It was clear he had a supportive corner but, Angel seemed so different when his friends weren't around.

'But, he's so fuckin cute when he wants! Fuckin hell did I just think that?! Fuck is wrong with you Husk!' he internally yelled at himself.

He opened his fridge realizing he only had a bottle left. He'd go get some later. He grabbed the bottle of booze and opened it, sitting on his shitty, grey couch. His phone made a noise.

What time did I need to be ta the casino today? I moved my schedule around so I'm free.

Husk's eyebrows furrowed with confusion. He had no idea what the spider was talking about.

Huh??

Husk thought long and hard about last night trying to remember what Angeldust could possibly be talking about, while he waited for a response.

U said u needed a entertainer? U got Alzheimer's old man? 😭

Husk's eyebrows raised when he remembered. He had just 'fired' his last singer for starting a fight in the casino and hurting not only, his staff but, also his patrons. The spider had volunteered at the party, Husk eventually went to after work. He remembered making it very clear his 'services' were not needed, nor welcomed at the casino. To which the spider scoffed at. He crossed his arms and gave Husk a look of disgust.

"What? No! I meant-" Anthony cut himself off. He punched Husk in the arm playfully but, still hard in annoyance. "Com'on asshole, I saw ya watching me, while I was doing karaoke." He stated point at the stage near the bar. Anthony lied about the party, they were partying at a bar. "Don't fu-"

Husk sighed. He was too drunk to realize how annoyed he sounded, but he didn't care because he was annoyed.

"Ohhh. Listen ya been cra-ckung joookes at my expense allllll night don't fuckin act like, I'm bein' a dick'ead!" He defended his choice of words though he realized he was wrong about the situation.

"Well, uh" Husk scratched his head, as he weighed his options. If he didn't have an entertainer at the bar, people wouldn't get as drunk, which meant they wouldn't gamble more.

"You sure, you want to?"

Anthony laughed at the question. "Why da fuck would I offer if I didn't?! I assume ya gonna pay me. Second I likes preforming. Though I might get ya some negative attention, and I'd understand if ya don-" Husk watched as Anthony went to turn away. The spider hugged himself and scratched at his elbow before Husk grabbed his hand. That's when the drunken cat realized his words had offended the spider. Probably because they are friends and he's not used to his friends talking to him like that. Husk couldn't help but feel guilty.
