RadioDust - Deer Season

Chapter 5: Feelings

A/N- Long awaited chapter update!

----

Angel Dust sighed for what felt like the millionth time since he had woken up and it was only early afternoon.

Angel was leaning against the headboard of his bed frame, in his lap Fat Nuggets was curled up as Angel stared up at the ceiling. He was so lost in thought that he had started to absentmindly pet the small piglet, not that Fat Nuggets minded. His room once littered from his door to the bathroom with sex toys, makeup, and even clothing and wigs was now littered to the brim with all sorts of books. Books that were stacked high and low all over his room, many of them in piles while some from taller stacks would fall over causing a bigger mess onto his floor but Angel couldn't bring himself to tidy up the room at the moment. He was currently fighting a massive headache caused by those very same books.

Charlie had recently given him some reading or "research" material pertaining to anything that could be of any use about deer demons, body swapping and the likes that she could had found among her family collections of books. She had even given him a list of book she had found within the hotel library as well. In some ways you could say that she is trying to fill up Angel's time or merely attempting to distract Angel from remembering that he was confined to the hotel until he could be turn back. He wasn't even allow to have Cherri over. Instead she had loaded the demon with books to gain some background knowledge on his body until she could fins a proper solution for his situation. However the blonde princess was no closer to a "cure" then when she first hit him with the powder. While Angel didn't like being a spider demon, he was trapped as one for many years in hell then suddenly being a different kind was daunting on him. Though like modern technology he was making the best he can do with adjusting to the new way he was forced on.

However what Charlie had failed to take in account wasn't the fact that Angel wouldn't be interested in some information or the Mount Everest of books she had given him to read but the fact that Angel couldn't read. Well that was a lie. The problem lies that Angel couldn't read very well, he has to read at a much slower pace then most and could only understand bits of information without a dictionary near by. While he didn't mind the books, they taught him a good deal from what he could read and understand however the difficulty of trying to read them left him slightly bitter. When Angel was still alive he was forced to drop out of early middle school under his father demand for his more frequent participation toward the "family business" while his other siblings were still attending. This made it near damn impossible for him to get a proper education like his siblings, which had led Molly secretly teaching him at one point whenever she could and his early years into drugs and drinking addiction.

Angel sighed once more as he felt that his headache may had actually worsen at the mere thought of his past life effecting his afterlife. He pushed off the book he was reading previously onto the floor he gave the book a quick double check making a mental note to remember where he left off before he laid down on his bed bring Fat Nuggets closer to him. When he was settled on laying on his back he helped adjusted Fat Nuggets who was resting on top of his fluff before giving the piglet a good scratching behind the ear in which he was rewarded with cute oinks and the piglet nuzzling his head closer for more. A small smile crossed his face as he watched his baby cuddle closer to him before closing their small black eyes in a lazy slumber leaving Angel to his own thoughts.

It has been over two weeks since Alastor had first found Angel napping on the couch in the library, and to his surprise the two of them have been interacting with each other more since then. Angel had chalked it up that the Radio Demon was most likely bored or simply pitying him but Angel didn't mind and welcome their time together. Their days consist of Alastor arriving to the library first often reading in one of the many chairs while Angel would appear later as he would decided on either napping or starting a conversation with the male demon. When Angel wasn't napping the two of them would fall into easy and safe conversation ranging from topics such as their day, the hotel and the rare moments where they fall into talking a bit of their past as well. Sometimes Alastor would summon Nifty requesting her services to bring them snacks and beverages during those moments as they talked the day away.
