When morning hit, Angel was awakened by Niffty,"Angel I have to clean your room, wake up!" The spider huffed. Having to get up was painful. It felt like his body hurt more today than it did yesterday. He gave a small grunt of pain as he reached down and picked up Fat Nuggets. Opening the door he was meet with the little cyclops who's eye widened at the state of his room,"Oh man your room is filthy!"
She wasn't wrong though, the place looked like a dang tornado hit it. "You'll need to leave while I tidy up in here! Go go!," she pushed him out of his room by his legs. Causing his torso to scream in pain by the sudden movement, but he didn't show it. "Alright geez, you don't have to push me.," the spider grumbled. Not caring for what he had to say, the hyper one eyed woman slammed the door to start working on his room. Angel rolled his eyes, and went downstairs. Husk looked up as the spider came down the steps, he was in a long comfy pink sweater than had a hole cut into a shape of a heart on his chest causing his chest fluff to be exposed. As well as some knee high white socks with pink stripes and dark shorts, but the big sweater hid the shorts. Not to mention he was cradling his pet pig in his second set of arms. "Good morning Angel.," Charlie greeted the spider. He nodded,"Yeah, sure...mornin'."

"Angel, are you okay?," the princess asked, clearly concerned. She had noticed one cheek was a little swollen. "I'm fine," the other called back as he made his way to the kitchen. He wanted something to eat and maybe a nice cup of coffee. Husk decided to take his chance to talk to the spider. So he followed him. No one else was in there other than Angel, so this was perfect. "Hey, Angel.," the cat called out to him, the other never turned their attention,"What do you want Husky?"

"Uh, about last night, what I said-,"

Angel cut him off,"It's okay. Don't worry about it." Husk watched the spider pour himself a cup of coffee, he wouldn't lie. The guy looked pretty cute just standing there in that sweater. The pig making a sound pulled him from his thoughts, so he looked down to see the cute little pet at his feet. "Uh?"

"Oh that's my pet pig, his name is Fat Nuggets. He don't bite, if you pet him he'll love ya forever," Angel stated as he walked over to the fridge,"You hungry Husky? I can make you something too if you want?"

"Oh uh, sure I guess," Husk normally didn't eat breakfast as he was usually hitting the bottle by now, but he felt like accepting would be an apology in itself. He settled down on one of the stools that rested at the island in the middle of the kitchen. As he sat, there was an awkward silence between the two, so to make it more tolerable the cat just watched the spider cook away. "What do ya like in your omelet?," Angel asked. "Uh tomato, mushrooms, peppers and...," he awkwardly looked down at Fat Nuggets. Without looking at the cat he grinned,"it's okay, he won't know. Bacon right?"

Husk smiled a little,"Yeah."

The cat liked that the other wasn't his usual persona, but it also worried him a little. It made him want to ask about what happened yesterday at work.

"Here ya go," the spider demon placed a plate in front of him, with an omelet and some toast. He nodded,"Thanks."

Angel smiled,"No problem kitty~"

Ah there it is. His flirty persona slipped out a bit. Husk didn't know if he should happy about that or not. So he shrugged it off and took a bite of the omelet. He was taken back as it actually tasted good. He didn't think the other demon could cook well. "Good?," Angel laughed a little seeing Husk's reaction as he made his own plate, and even placed an apple on the floor for Fat Nuggets. "Uh, yeah, I didn't think you knew how to cook kid.," the cat admitted, as he looked at the spider. This time he noticed Angel's cheek,"Ahem....I know it's not my place to ask, but....your cheek....it's a bit swollen and..."

"Just some client got a bit aggressive," Angel lied,"It'll go down eventually."

Husk could tell he was lying, but knew better than to push further. When someone didn't want to talk, it was safer to just let them be. After all he could try again later. Soon Angel joined him, but left a stool empty in between them. They both ate silently, seemingly content with each other presence and that the only noises were from Fat Nuggets making happy snorts as he munched on his apple.
