'What wings are made for'

- Requested by RoeReyes6

≻───── ⋆✩⋆ ─────≺

It's been a long day.

The guests are constantly being what they are, cold heartless souls, and it has exhausted Y/n and the rest thoroughly. Y/n sits on a bar stool and buries her head into her arms, laying on the counter in an awkward position. 

"Fucking animals, all of them." Grumbles the cat, his eyebrows looking much more bushier than normal and his frown set deeper than this morning. He pops the cork out of a bottle of unidentified alcohol, holding it up to chug it- however Y/n wraps her hand around his wrist and stops him. 

She lazily lectures, "It's rehab hotel, Husk. No drinking or alcohol allowed."

Husk mutters a few swears under his breath and Y/n shakes her head. "No swearing either."

His face is red with frustration, he slams his hand down on the counter and barks, "Then how the hell am I supposed to deal with this bullshit!"

"NO SWEARING- GOD, THE LAST THING I NEED RIGHT NOW IS SOME OLD GRANDPA BEING ALL WHINY ON ME." 

"I can fucking do whatever the fuck, " he puts emphasis on each swear. "i want."

Y/n shoves the stool away and glares at Husk with newfound hatred for her job and life on hell. She flings her hands up and snaps at him fiercely, "Fine, go and drink away." 

She mutters bitterly, "You are not my responsibility anyway." 

Husk watches as she walks away with heavy footsteps and with haste. His eyes widen and he looks down at the counter, then brings his hand to his forehead. His hate start to simmer down and he drags his hand down his face to wake him up. He snapped once again, and he had to go and snap at Y/n.

"Damn it."

Y/n sits cross-legged on the roof level of Hazbin Hotel, her face hidden by her hands and her back slouched. It's not what she'd thought it would be, working at Hazbin Hotel. It seemed like a dream, a way to finally get out of this place. 

She looks up at the red sky and the gigantic pentagram in it that forever reminds her of who and where she is. She had forgotten about the people inside it, blinded by the hope and future that Charlie had advertised on TV. So rotten, so cruel and so...

Her mind flashes back to Husk, his eyes that screamed for some relief of alcohol.

So, irreversible.

She hears footsteps coming closer and then a presence sitting next to her that stunk of ashes and whiskey. Y/n raises her face and sharply rejects, "If you are asking for an apology, then no, I am not going to- WOAH."

Her body is pulled into a soft embrace by his large wing, her head resting on Husk's surprisingly soft and well-groomed plumes on his chest. 

Y/n's face blossoms into building shades of pink and red, holding her hands to her chest and awkwardly accepting the interaction. She feels his chest rise, then deeply exhale in a sigh.

"I'm not asking for an apology, " Husk glances down at the woman near him, tempted to pull her into his arms but finding it a little too much. "I'm here to say: I'm sorry."

Y/n looks up, then Husk looks away to avoid her gaze.

He rumbles, "Look, I admit I was being a little-"

"-A little?"

 Y/n does a pointed look at Husk, he rolls his eyes and continues, "I was being out of control and I lashed out on you, I just had been starved for so long that I-"

"You became like one of those animals?"

Their eyes meet for a second.

Husk turns away and agrees quietly, "Yeah, like an animal." 

Y/n feels a tired smile grow on her face, as she observes Husk look away with a tiny smile forming on his face.

"I mean, I wasn't good either." 

Husk expression was that of confusion, and Y/n laughed at it. She explains, "I didn't mean to snap at you, it's just that the guests are making me want to get disintegrated."

"Please don't say that." His voice was still growl-like, telling her he's fine, but his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes a little saddened at the thought of it. "Disintegrated ain't a joke, you'll be gone forever and..."

Y/n's eyes immediately widen and then she internally panics, for she had forgotten about Husk's past with death. She throws her arms around him, squishing him in her arms and apologising profusely, "I'm sorry, Husk! I forgot about that and I'm really really sorry, i was just using disintegration as a exaggeration of how I really fel-"

"-It's alright." Husk chuckles and he feels her wrap around him loosen. He looks down to worried eyes on a flushed pink face. 'She was adorabl- wait what?' 

Now he blushes, his face hot and his heart on fire. 'No,nononono-' It can't be, love for Y/n? I mean yes, she is a nice and playful and respectful, but she's always scolding him and being all stuck-up for the rules. 

"Husk, what's up?" 

'Come on Husk, man up-'  "Y/n?"

"Yeah?" Her eyes on him, hopeful and gleaming

He can't do it, he can't look at her eyes nonetheless tell her...

"Nevermind."

He could here the booing and wailing of his soul, his pride hurt and his dignity as man sunk to the bottom.

"Well, Husk I got something to say." Y/n fiddles with her fingers unable to look at him straight in the face. He already knows what she's going to say and so his face lights up in knowing that Y/n loves him.

"I-I, looove..." Y/n stutters and mumbles, unable to finish her sentence. "I love-"

At this rate, none of them will be confessing.

Husk extends his left wing and his right wing to blanket them both under a cover of darkness, blocking the front and the back with his broad red and black wings; so that no one can see what he's going to do. 

Y/n feels a soft peck on her forehead and she grins the biggest smile ever.

"I know." Husk smiles and shrinks his left wing but allows his right wing to stay extended, in a way pulling Y/n to him.

Y/n leans her head on the soft fur on Husk's shoulder closing her eyes to enjoy and savour such a rare moment from such a bitter individual.

'Ah yes, this is what wings are for.'
