Jack decided to play Blackjack against Husk (again) not too long after asking if we'd get together and then having a few drinks. I sighed, leaning over on Jack watching him play. I noticed Husk glancing at me between matches, and he was losing. The master of gambling was losing. Which intrigued me, how was he losing? He never lost, so what was distracting him? They had only been playing for about 20 to 35 minutes, but he was losing, and losing bad. I had been thinking about it for a few minutes and my best conclusion is he's thinking about me, causing him to be distracted which makes his weird ability of winning weaker.

Eventually, Jack won all the games and they stopped playing. When they did, Husk sighed and walked to the bar. I was leaning against the wall near the elevators, because I didn't want to walk over there. Rose seemed overwhelmed by Husk's excessive drinking. I sighed, and walked over.

I sat down next to Husk, but because of the earlier experience, I was nervous. Currently, his head was face down on the bar, but his tail was swaying and he was banging the glass on the table, demanding more alcohol. His wallet was also on the bar, opened for Rose to just take the money to be paid, probably because he was too drunk to actually pay. I looked at Rose, rushing to serve other customers. She ran a drink to someone else then grabbed his glass and poured in more strong whiskey and handed it to him. He sat up and chugged it down, then noticed me. His face was red, most likely because of his state.

He grinned and said, “Why do you never play against me?” His voice was slurred and I tilted my head, I saw Rose in the corner of my eye stop what she was doing and look at him. “God damnit, you're so pretty and funny why do you not hang out with me more?” I knew people got really open when they're drunk, I've been drunk before and around drunk people it wasn't new to me. They become kind of ‘Happy-Go-Lucky’ but I've never seen someone so open like that. I responded, “I don't know, would you like me to be around more?” Husk nodded, then passed out.

I got Rose to call Charlie, and apparently she had a car. Jack helped me haul Husk into the car, we laid him down in one of the seats. Jack walked back in, and I sat down next to his sleeping body. Charlie was frowning, obviously disappointed, it didn't match her puppy dog-like face. “I thought you said you were a maid...” Oh shit, she knows. I sighed and looked at her, giving a face that would hopefully cause a sympathetic response. I then said, “Look, Charlie, I'm sorry but Vaggie said it was okay as long as it was temporary. I planned it to be, I swear. Rose lied, so I just decided to go with it. Really, I'm sorry.” “It's alright, but you're trending on the internet and 666 News made a report on you. I'll admit, you were graceful.” “Okay, thanks for forgiving me.” So, I'm trending?! This is nice, I guess I'll watch the videos when we get to the hotel.

I was responsible for watching Husk, I had to sit in the living room with him constantly moving around. We laid him on the couch and we had just enough room for me to sit, but somehow his head ended up in my lap. Angel Dust was flirting with Alastor near the bookcases. Alastor quickly shoved him away with his staff and said, “Respect my five foot rule!” I chuckled, but Angel didn't find Alastor's behavior funny.

Angel started cussing him out with Al defending himself. They started a screaming match, but eventually Alastor got tired of Angel disrespecting his asexuality. He snapped and Angel was in a muzzle, he started screaming and growling in the muzzle, but then I realized the two had woken up Husk.

Husk just looked up at me grumpily, I'm guessing he didn't feel like dealing with saying something to them. I looked at Alastor and said, “Sorry for his rudeness, not all prostitutes, pole dancers, and porn stars are that disrespectful.” Angel started screaming something about not being a prostitute, but it was hard to make out due to the muzzle. Alastor smiled wide and said, “I am aware, you are a very kind person after all! Angel is simply an un-tame animal!” Angel started screaming more. Husk chuckled and said, “Well Al, you're not wrong about that one.” “Wait, Alastor, how did you know I did that?” I asked, I hadn't realized it when he first said I was nicer than Angel. “You were on the picture shows! Charlie said you were what is called, ‘Trending on the Internet’ too!” “Oh...alright.” Well, that made sense.

Charlie had to force Alastor to take the muzzle off of Angel. Husk and I had a few drinks, both of us a little tipsy. We had been giggling like little bitches for a little over an hour. Husk was still laying down in my lap, letting me pet him, which surprised me at first.
“Hey...(f/n)...can I ask you somethin?” He asked, in his low, gruff voice. I giggled and nodded, “Yeah silly.” “Why can't we be something?” I tilted my head, I didn't quite understand. He sat up and got close to my face, “If you don't understand, let me elaborate, Angel has something for Alastor, that's obvious, now, why can't we be something?” “Are you asking me out?” He groaned, and face palmed. I could see everyone looking at us, including a little girl I hadn't seen before.

“What are you talking about? I'm confused.” Husk grunted then covered us with his wings. He whispered, “Can I show you?” I blushed a little and responded, “Y-Yeah?” He smiled and mumbled a very quiet, “I'm sorry.” He reached towards my face and tilted my head, then slammed his lips onto mine. I gasped as my eyes widened, and he slipped his tongue in. I gripped his shoulders and I felt his skinny tail wrap around mine. He...loves me? That's all I could think. Rose wasn't kidding. I gently kissed back and wrapped my arms around his neck. He chuckled and kissed me a little harder, more lustful. Though of course, everything had to be ruined.

Angel walked over and separated us. “Hey if I can't fucking make out with people you can't either!” Husk growled and said, “You can't because there's a child, a lesbian couple, and asexual, and I ain't fuckin gay.” Angel took a lot of offense and I quickly got in between them. “Husk, if you hurt him, I'll kick your ass. Angel, if you hurt him, I'll kick you ass. Got it?” They both nodded, and I turned to see Alastor covering the little girl's eyes.

I walked over to the little girl and squatted down. “Hey sweetheart, what's your name?” She moved Alastor's hand off her face. It was then I realized she only had one eye, the ‘whites’ was orange, and the normal color was yellow. Her hair was short, looked like some sort of bob cut. It was pink and had this strip of a golden yellow. She wore this white puffy shirt that was tucked in. She wore a cute pink poodle skirt, too. “Oh hi! I'm Niffty. You're not a man, are you?” I shook my head no. “Oh ok! Well you seem really nice! I like meeting new friends!” Alastor bent over and said, “She likes to tidy this place up! She also helps Charlie and Vaggie cook our  breakfasts, lunches, and dinners!” I nodded and held my hand out, “Nice to meat you Niffty!” She shook my hand and said, “Nice to meet you too!”

Husk had shown me where my room was and we just hung out in there for a while. He had a few more drinks before we went upstairs, so he was less a grump. I'm currently laying in his lap, him gently scratching my ears. I purred and my tail twitched. Husk chuckled and scratched slightly harder. My tail twitched more and my wings did too, causing more chuckling from him. “Don't squirm too much, doll. You'll fall, and I've had a little bit too much alcohol but I'm trying to hold back my urges.” “What do you mean urges?” “Well, (f/n), just because I'm a grumpy old alcoholic gambler doesn't mean I don't have urges from my teenage years.” I giggled, “Well, I may be dense but I know what sex is.” He chuckled and asked, “Weren't you a prostitute?” “Well...yeah? I sold my services, I suppose. But I can't do that anymore now can I?” “No, no you can't. I'm going to bed. I just wanna say, Vaggie threw out your ‘toys’. You really are a little freak, but eh, I don't mind.” Husk then quickly walked out.

So...we're a thing now? Heh, he's cute and caring underneath that rudeness...
