Hazbin/Helluva oneshots- REQUESTS ON

~A tipsy confession~ Husk x Reader

The neon lights of the club flickered in time with the pounding bass, casting vibrant hues across the throng of patrons swaying to the music. The air was thick with the scent of alcohol, sweat, and a hint of desperation as lost souls sought solace in the night. Among them, at the far end of the bar, sat Husker, his usual gruff demeanor softened by the half-empty bottle of whiskey before him.

You spotted him from across the room, his disheveled fur and drooping ears a stark contrast to the lively atmosphere. With a deep breath, you weaved through the crowd, determined to check on your friend. As you approached, his ears twitched, and he glanced up, his eyes narrowing slightly before a faint, lopsided smile curved his lips.

"Hey, there you are," Husker greeted, his voice rougher than usual. "Didn't think you'd show up tonight."

Sliding onto the barstool beside him, you shrugged, signaling the bartender for your usual drink. "Figured I'd come see what trouble you were getting into."

He chuckled, the sound low and surprisingly endearing. "Trouble? Me? Never."

The two of you settled into a comfortable silence, the clinking of glasses and distant chatter forming a familiar backdrop. You watched as Husker took another swig of his whiskey, his gaze distant. It was rare to see him so subdued, his usual sharp wit dulled by the alcohol.

"Everything okay?" you asked, leaning closer to be heard over the music.

Husker sighed, his shoulders slumping. "Just...thinking. About a lot of things."

You raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Care to share?"

He glanced at you, his eyes momentarily clearer, revealing a vulnerability you'd seldom seen. "You ever wonder why we keep doing this? Coming to places like this, drowning ourselves in booze?"

You pondered his question, taking a sip of your drink. "Maybe it's our way of escaping, even if it's just for a little while."

"Yeah," he murmured, his gaze dropping to the counter. "Escape."

Another beat of silence passed before he spoke again, his voice quieter. "You know, (Y/N), there's something I've been meaning to tell you."

Your heart skipped a beat at the seriousness in his tone. "What is it, Husker?"

He hesitated, taking another swig of whiskey as if to fortify himself. "I...damn it, I'm not good at this kind of thing. But you...you're different. You're always there, always caring. And I...I think I'm falling for you."

The words hung in the air between you, a confession tinged with both hope and fear. Your breath caught, your mind racing. Husker, the gruff, cynical demon, was confessing his feelings for you.

"Husker, I..." you started, unsure of how to respond.

He waved a hand, cutting you off. "Look, I know it's crazy. I'm half-drunk and probably not making any sense. Just...forget I said anything, okay?"

But you couldn't forget. His words echoed in your mind, stirring emotions you'd tried to keep hidden. Reaching out, you placed a hand on his, stopping him from taking another drink.

"Husker," you said softly, "I care about you too. More than I've let on. So no, I'm not going to forget what you said."

His eyes widened in surprise, the vulnerability in them replaced by a glimmer of hope. "You mean that?"

You nodded, squeezing his hand. "Yeah, I do."

For a moment, the noisy club faded into the background, leaving just the two of you in a bubble of shared understanding. Husker's usual defenses crumbled, and he smiled—a genuine, heartfelt smile that made your heart swell.

"Guess we're both a little crazy, huh?" he murmured.

"Yeah," you agreed, leaning in closer, "but maybe that's not such a bad thing."

And as the night wore on, the two of you found solace not in the escape of the club, but in each other's presence, forging a connection that neither of you had expected but both were willing to embrace.
