Dream

"I like your outfit, Raven," Charlie said, pointing at me.

"Oh," I said, smiling shyly. "I just threw a few things together."

"You kinda look like a magician!"

I nodded.

"Ehh?" I gasped, turning around. Husk had kicked the door off its hinges.

"Wanna do the fuck dance!?" he asked, pointing at me.

I couldn't help but feel angry. I glared at him and crossed my arms. He started to walk away, but I ran after him, back hand springing towards him and stretching my arms out to grab his shoulders.

"What th-" he started.

I pulled him closer and sat on him so that he couldn't get away. I started yelling at him the moment I sat down. He smirked.

"What?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"You're obviously enjoying this," he said.

"Wha-? Wh-what makes you say that?"

He gestured to the way I was sitting on him. I blushed and punched him square in the jaw.

"You're taking this the wrong way!" I yelled. "B-besides, it's not like I wanted to sit like this. I just didn't want you to get away, s-stupid!"

I got up and rolled my eyes. Husk stood up, too, and grinned like he didn't believe a word I said.

"Ugh," I said. I grabbed his ear and led him to a random room, glaring as I shut the door

"What is wrong with you!? How can you be so irresponsible? Do you have no dignity!?" I yelled, crossing my arms.

He chuckled.

"What's so funny?"

"I could silence you right now," he said. "And you wouldn't be able to do anything about it."

"I doubt i-"

He grabbed me by my throat and lifted me into the air. I was in complete shock.

"Ah!"

I grabbed onto his hand.

"You're blushing," he said.

"No... I'm not... I just... can't... breathe," I said.

He shook his head.

"Maybe you can't, but I know better. If you were really suffocating, your whole face would be dark grey."

"I turn... grey? I always thought I was red..." I said.

"Raven, you're made entirely out of shades of grey.

He shook his head and slowly lowered my to the ground, letting go of my neck.

"Don't do that again!" I yelled, slapping him across the face.

I walked out of my room, crossing my arms and huffing. I could hear Husk laughing behind me.

"So what'd he pay you?" Angel Dust asked, leaning against the wall.

I looked up at him. His face seemed oddly unfamiliar.

"Wh-why would I pay him for that?" I asked.

"It was free?" he asked.

"Wha- Ehh!? That's what you think we did!?" I said, realizing what he was implying. "Never! That's stupid!"

"Sure, it is," he said, walking away.

I groaned and walked to my own room. Strangely, my door was open a little bit. As I walked by, someone held their hand to my mouth and pulled me into my room, sweeping my feet out from underneath me.

"Hmmm?" I mumbled, looking up.

It was Husk.

"Shh," he said. "You don't want anyone to hear us, do you?"

And then I woke up.
