Husk woke up and informed Charlie at six in the morning, he was going back to his room… Just in case Alastor went looking for him. She gave him a few sleepy kisses and was out like a light once again. He couldn't help but fall asleep as soon as he hit his own mattress.
He slept good in Charlie's room but after last night, he needed to sleep longer. He was out until one in the afternoon.
Husk emerged from his room and headed downstairs to the kitchen. This was one of the few times he needed coffee. He had no idea why he was so surprised to see Vaggie sitting there with a book in her hand reading and sipping on a glass of juice. She arched an eyebrow at him as he grumbled a hello.
Then he suddenly remembered.
Oh shit. She knows.
Husk turned around slowly to see the smug look on the moth demon's face- she didn't even bother to hide it.
"What?" he snapped.
"She didn't break you in half so that's good."
"What?"
"Oh I know how Charlie is. If you let her, she can go at it for hours. She's go the libido of ten teenage boys. Besides, she was wobbling a little bit this morning."
Thank god for fur. He couldn't help it but feel a little proud for that though.
"She told me to stay quiet but I figured I could tease you a little bit before everyone finds out about you and her. Just don't make her keep a secret forever. That wouldn't be good for you or her."
"The others would just-
Vaggie snapped her book shut.
"Charlie is the type to love so intensely and so passionately. She feels everything ten times more than others do. Charlie didn't decide this out of the air. She can fuck whoever she wants- she can get whoever she wants but those who get her special brand of love and affection are selected through some heart and soul searching. She'll parade you around like you're a king of Hell and not give a damn what others think."
The moth demon grinned and picked up her glass of juice. The baffled look on his face was entertaining.
"Get ready for the best time of your afterlife."
Husk had no idea what to say. He just stood there frozen to the floor thinking about it.
"She's in the laundry room with Kitty doing the laundry. She said she would wash her own bed sheets. Something around them being outrageously dirty. They must be for her to be that satisfied."
"Fucking christ….."
He left the kitchen and headed for the red door on the other side of the lobby for the laundry room. He opened the door and went down stairs to hear Charlie chatting with her client.
"Yea, we missed club night. The rest of us don't like going without you. We like the field trip."
Charlie's giggle rang through the air.
"I promise we can go out next week before Angel loses his shit. I just can't go through swinging around like usual."
"Naw, we get it! We're glad you're ok. Vaggie already gave us a list of who can take turns taking you out when you need to go."
"That's all really unnecessary-
"Stop it princess. We were all worried about you and moth girl was losin' her goddamn mind. We're all lucky Husk found you. He's a great guy."
"Yea, he is," Charlie said with such fondness it made his heart thump wildly against his ribs.
Goddamnit. I shouldn't be hearing this.
"Hey, Princess? You down here?" Husk called out.
Charlie rounded the corner and looked up the stairs. Her whole face lit up and waved to him eagerly. She was in red and yellow plaid pajamas this time instead of her suit.
"Hey! You're finally awake!"
The demon named Kitty stood behind Charlie looking up the stairs too. Kitty was a succubus demon who looked part imp but she stood almost as tall as Alastor. Husk had thought she was quite the piece of ass but now…. Next to Charlie- she was nothing but another demon.
What the hell is wrong with me?
"Well damnit," Kitty said turning away.
Charlie shot her a weird look. Husk made it all the way to the bottom of the stairs. He could see the look on the princess' face like she wanted to hug him but she didn't. She kept her hands to herself.
"The washers have ten minutes left so I'll get them out of the dryer if you throw them in."
"Alright, thanks Kitty!"
The succubus waved back, eyed Husk and then went up the stairs, shutting it behind her. Charlie instantly pulled him from the stairwell and hugged him. This was going to take some time to get used too.
"How are you feeling this afternoon?" she said batting her eyelashes.
Just like that, he smelled the arousal coming from her.
"Can't fuck down here girly. Too public."
"What?"
"I can smell it on you. You smell horny."
"What?! You can smell that?!" she hissed, turning red like a tomato and looking mortified all at once.
Husk laughed loudly, "I'm a cat. Of course I can smell it."
She covered her face in shame and turned away.
"I don't mind it. Though I still find it so damn weird you're instantly turned on being around me."
"Why do you say that?" she asked with the color fading from her face, "I'm sure last night was a good indication why I was."
"I'm an old ass man-
Charlie placed her hands on her hips.
"I'm several decades older than you."
"I died as an old man Charlie."
"So?"
Husk slapped a hand on his face and ran it down with a groan. He jumped a little when Charlie leaned in and hugged him again.
"You're awesome, you know that?" she whispered, "Quit hating on yourself. I want you to see yourself the way I see you."
She pulled back and started planting kisses on his lips.
"Last night wasn't a one time for me," the princess whispered, "It's up to you if you want me but I would like to be with you."
He still had to be dreaming or some shit. Last night still didn't feel real at all and even waking up to Charlie's sleeping face still didn't make it real. Vaggie talking to him didn't make it real. Good things didn't happen in Hell and good things never happened to him without something horribly bad happening afterwards.
"I can't be fuckin' hearin' you right. You want me- like a boyfriend?"
The princess nodded eagerly.
"You're shittin' me."
"No, I don't think so."
He sighed, "You're outta of your damn mind woman-
"Nope!"
She rocked back on her heels a little still holding onto him.
"You can take a few days to decide if you want."
Charlie kissed him one last time and pulled away. He was a little dumbfounded for a moment.
"Sorry I missed our lunchtime," he said rubbing the back of his neck looking at the floor.
"No worries! I'm rather proud of myself for wearing you out like that."
Charlie gave him a smug grin and turned to the washers.
"Get some lunch. I think there's leftovers and I'll see you through out the day. If you want- we can still play some games tonight. No more poker though. Cheater."
He busted up laughing and went back up the stairs.
It made him feel weird Charlie was leaving the decision to him. He knew what he would say so easily... Romping around in the sheets with Charlie was one hell of a wonderful time for sure but was he even boyfriend material?

Just like that for several days- he was spending the night with her then going back to his own room around dawn. He even started getting back out of bed around nine to ten in the morning. They hadn't had sex since that night but Charlie was more than happy to shower him with hugs, kisses and cuddles whenever they were alone as long as he was up for it.
It was nice having someone be that eager to see him.
But, he didn't feel as if he was good enough for the bubbly princess. That's why his ex fiance left him. He wasn't good enough for anyone. It wouldn't matter how much Charlie liked him now because in the end she would get bored with him and his grouchy attitude then find someone better.
It would happen like all the times he had someone before and they changed their mind weeks to a few months later.
Four days had passed and he still hadn't given the blonde demoness an answer. He didn't drink more than beer because he wanted to be lucid enough for her and she would probably be disappointed if he passed out like a drunk before he could come see her for bed.
He had drank some coffee with Charlie and Vaggie at the kitchen table. He had no idea why he was so shocked by it but Charlie ran her foot up and down his leg giving him lovey dovey looks. It was weird alright but the moth demon didn't seem fazed in the least. She seemed so supportive of what ever the hell this was and she continued to be quiet about it.
Then….
Just like that- the little bit of Husk's little dream world came crashing down. It wasn't as if he caught Charlie locking lips with someone else or she did anything with someone else in front of him. She could have if she wanted- they weren't together.
What he saw was Alastor spinning Charlie around the kitchen while they were making lunch. It hit him like a tons of bricks as the Radio Demon dipped Charlie down to the floor. What did him in was hearing her laugh and giggle about it. That evil monster called jealously started clawing at his insides.
The smug grin on that asshole's face while he pulled her back up. If he didn't know Alastor at all, he would've just punched him in the face.
"There darling! That wasn't so bad!"
"Yea, it wasn't. Thanks…. I was afraid I would hurt too bad when I go out with the others."
The princess pulled back and straightened out her red suit when she saw Husk standing in the doorway. Her face fell when she saw him and the expression he was wearing. He was pissed and he looked betrayed making her heart sink. Alastor turned around to see his companion standing there glaring daggers at him.
"Husker my good friend! Why do you look like you want to murder me? It's barely noon!"
The deer demon let out a cackle like he told the most hilarious joke in existence.
"Just seeing your fuckin' face puts me in a bad mood," he snarled and he stormed out of the kitchen to the bar.
Oh no.
Charlie felt her chest tighten up and her chipper mood just died instantly.
"He's been so strange lately," Alastor said thinking aloud, "Ah well. He's just a grumpy cat after all."
"I wanna check on him."
Charlie rushed out to the lobby and sprinted to the bar. Husk had managed to drain one bottle of beer and was going on the second when Charlie grabbed his wrist. He just glared at her and she gave him a pleading look.
"If you don't want me to dance with Al anymore I won't. Just don't…. Just take it easy alright? If you wanna talk about it we can talk about it."
Husk dropped the bottle on the bar top and continued to stare at her.
"I don't see why you don't give a damn when I haven't even given you a fuckin' answer yet."
"Because I do give a damn and I want to act as if you told me yes. I just don't want you mad at me. I just didn't know and I hope you can forgive me."
His expression softened and he sighed looking downward at the floor.
"Goddamn it woman."
He pulled away and put the beer bottle up.
"I'm not fuckin' mad at you. I don't know. Don't worry about it."
Husk headed for the other end of the bar watching Charlie from the corner of his eye. He felt guilty.
"Cards later?" the princess asked with a smile.
He glanced at her, sighing again before giving her a weak smile.
"Yea."

Charlie was a little bummed out since Husk didn't show up for dinner. She stuck good to her promise and didn't dance with Alastor again at least until she could talk to him. She was aware of the self deprecating thoughts and jokes and it bothered her badly. She could crack a joke about herself- she understood that but it was more than just than for him.
She did not think she could 'fix' him.
The princess just wanted him to be less hard on himself. To see how great he really was. He did all the nicest things for everyone. He talked a few of her clients into staying a few times (there was a three drink limit and a few of them got plastered quickly), he gave advice, he dealt with Alastor's scary moods when they came along and he convinced her to keep going on her idea even when she continued to get hate from the one man who was there to see it all fail.
It was a week after Husk told her to keep trying when they got their first one besides Angel Dust. It had been fun and they threw a party where everyone but Charlie and Husk got sloppy drunk. Even Alastor who was disbelief of the whole thing was what he called himself 'classy drunk' talking the new demon's ears off.
"Knew you could do it."
Charlie turned to glance at the cat demon who gave her a small smile.
"You knew huh?" she asked with a smile.
She had been sipping a 'Blueberry Blast' with a comically large curly straw that changed colors.
"You need to give yourself some more fuckin' credit princess. If you talk in that damn pervert even with money and then bring someone else in, there are people who want to change."
Charlie grinned, "I guess you're right."
She leaned on the bar with both elbows giving Husk a soft, fond look.
"What the hell are you looking at?" the bartender asked looking annoyed.
"You're pretty awesome you know that?"
"You're drunk."
Charlie snorted.
"I've had the same drink since the party started. I'm far from drunk. I figured you didn't want to babysit me again."
Husk grumbled something and turned away.
"I never got to thank you for taking me up to my room. It's all thanks to your pep talk I made it this far."
"You did that yourself princess. I didn't do shit."
"Hey-
She slid her hand over his paw making him jump. He whipped around so quick it made her jump in her seat. He glared at her but didn't move away from her touch.
"You're really great and it means a lot to me. More than you will know."
His usually hard eyes softened.
"I don't know what you're talking about girly. I'm a grumpy old man who don't give a fuck."
She sighed, "I'm older than you."
"You sure as hell don't look like it."
She beamed at him, "Thanks."
"You give me too much credit."
The princess got up, running her hand on the bar, rounding the corner with the bartender watching her the whole time. She went behind it and stood near him with her hands behind her back.
"What the fuck are you up to?"
"Can I hug you as a thank you?" she asked.
"Are you out of your damn mind?"
"Nope!"
Husk looked around at the drunks surrounding the bar then back at Charlie.
"Fine, make it quick-
The princess slipped her arms around his neck and held onto him tight. She let out a sigh, plastering herself against him. Much to her surprise, he hugged her back. After a good ten seconds she pulled a little away not wanting to make him uncomfortable. She looked up into his eyes to see a flicker of emotions she couldn't quite place.
Oh how badly she wanted to make a move then but his reaction to her wanting a hug told her not to do it... tonight.
She felt her face heat up slightly and she blinked a few times when he backed off slowly and turned away from her.
"Vaggie puked on the carpet."
Charlie pouted watching him. She was sure he looked at her from the corner of his eye but she went to her best friend anyways.
Charlie pouted at the thought.
I laid it on pretty thick then too. Damn it.
She made it to the second floor and to his door.
There's no way in hell I'm giving him four days to ignore me again. That's not happening.
She puffed out her cheeks defiantly and held up her hand to knock on the door in an angry manner when the door flew open. Her eyes landed on Husk who gave her a smug grin, leaning against the door way.
"I smelled you Peaches."
He grabbed her arm and pulled her in. Charlie let out a squeak with her face turning pink- this was way out character for him. He locked his bedroom door and pinned her against the door. He ran his claw through her long hair just grinning away. The princess smelled the faint scent of alcohol.
"Are you drunk?" she asked staring at him.
He better not be-
"Nope, just a little buzzed. Finished drinkin' hours ago and drank some water. Had a lot ta think about."
"O-oh."
"Don't believe me huh? Ask me a question."
"What?"
"I ain't drunk- ask me a question. I'll answer ya."
"Alright. What's one hundred twenty five times six?"
"750 baby."
Oh wow.
She couldn't even hide the shock on her face.
"O-ok. Well then I wanna talk to you-
Charlie let out another squeak when he smothered her words with a kiss.
"Been thinkin' about ya all day. After that fuck face touched ya and everything…. It got me thinkin' even though I think yer nuts for wanting me…"
He started unbuttoning her suit jacket and pulled it off of her. He tossed it somewhere not even paying attention before he started on her white button up shirt.
"I want ya too and I'm gonna show ya right now."
Husk discarded her shirt to the side and reached around for the clasp on her bra. For someone with claws, he sure was nimble with his moments.
"H-Husk-
"Mmmm, I haven't even started anything and I can smell how horny ya are baby. I like that," he growled.
He knelt down and grabbed her around the knees then lifted her up.
"Oh!" the princess cried out softly gripping his shoulders so she didn't fall backwards.
He dropped her on the bed and started unbuttoning her dress pants.
Wow-
"Shit. Yer shoes."
He pulled them off throwing them through the room in different directions. Charlie's brain just went blank as he pulled down her pants then more carefully pulled off her cotton blue panties. She was gonna have a fun game of hide and seek tomorrow looking for all her stuff.
Husk dropped to his knees and dragged his princess to the edge of his bed. He pried her legs apart and dove right in.
So r-rough!
Charlie's legs were already shaking on his shoulders as she whined and panted, gripping what bed sheet she could get her hands on.
She didn't consider herself the easiest person to get off orally and she would get a little frustrated from the poor attempts past lovers had made but damn was hitting every sensitive part just right. Maybe it was all because this was very new for them both or maybe he just knew what he was doing but she was just so damn glad.
The first orgasm hit her hard, making her cry out and almost squeeze his head between her thighs. He chuckled, pulling away, running his claws down the outside of her thighs carefully.
"Ya better hang on baby because I ain't done yet. I want ya screamin' and tremblin' before I'm done with ya."
"Oh my god!"
Charlie was sure everyone around them or anyone who walked by the door could hear her shameless mewling and cries but she just couldn't stop. The next climax was faster this time making her wiggle away from him but he pulled her back going for a third one.
"Fuck!" Charlie cried out loudly, spasming from it all, "C-c-can't…."
"Oh are ya tappin' out already?" he asked grinning at her as he placed his face on her stomach.
"Yes!" she whined trying to think again.
"Alright then."
He got up from the floor and flipped her over. Husk pulled her hips upward making Charlie yelp before he slapped her ass making her cry out his name almost in shame.
"I'm gonna fuck ya into the mattress until you can't get up. How's that sound Charlie?" he asked with his voice hoarse.
"Fuck yes please!"
"So polite."
Husk let out a chuckle before he buried himself balls deep into the princess just like he had done the first time. He didn't give her a chance to recover at any second as he mercilessly pounded into her hard. He held her hips up for her since she no longer had the strength to do so. Her screams were somewhat muffled by her face into the mattress but he could still hear it all and the way she screamed his name over and over again.
Charlie felt that fourth orgasm hit and she almost went limp against the mattress after her body stiffened up, clenching down on him like a vice grip. She listened to him give a final growl and she felt his dick twitching inside her. Just like the last time, he planted loving kisses on her back before pulling out of her.
"Are you tired princess?" he whispered loud enough for her to hear.
Charlie only nodded with a sigh escaping her lips. Husk climbed on the bed and pulled her up against himself. She was so wore out she didn't even think about it when he started kissing her and she tasted herself on his lips. She slipped her hands around his neck melting into him.
Husk gave a throaty chuckle before pulling away, "For someone so worn out, you're still so damn eager huh?"
Charlie only hummed before leaning in again. He could smell the faint scent of arousal on Charlie but it wasn't strong like when he had her against the door.
"Get some sleep doll face. I'll see ya in the morning."
"Night Husk," she whispered and she was out. It didn't take long for him to knock out either.

Husk woke up the next morning definitely knowing he drank but his head didn't hurt so bad. What bothered him was his arm and a wing was trapped under something. He cracked open his eyes to see Charlie sleeping peacefully and fully naked. He almost jerked upward then thought about it the last second.
Oh shit.
It all came back to him.
Jesus christ! What the fuck is wrong with me?!
Charlie certainly didn't seem to mind though from what he could remember. When he tried moving, wrinkling up his nose, he felt his fur was stiff.
Fuck I didn't shower.
He did his best to slide out from under her without waking her and went to his bathroom. He washed off several times to get what ever bodily fluids he had on him and dried off. Husk approached Charlie but she was still sleeping away unbothered by his internal panic.
Fuck she still smells of sex and cum.
"Hey princess."
She still didn't move.
"Charlie!"
The blonde opened her eyes and looked back at him. She smiled tiredly and stretched out making her body crack in several places.
"Morning!" she said cheerfully.
"Fuck I'm sorry-
Charlie didn't want to hear it and she pulled him by his paws for a kiss.
"I enjoyed it all. Though the new nickname was funny."
She batted her eyelashes at him playfully.
"New nickname?" he asked out loud trying to think back.
"You called me Peaches."
He looked mortified but the princess laughed and kissed him again.
"It's ok. You answered my math question to prove you weren't drunk and you answered it so…. I had come to talk to you since I hadn't seen you for hours."
He pulled back and rubbed his face.
"Fuck my life."
The princess sat up and looked up at him all innocently.
"Why? I care about you."
"I don't see why-
"You said that already but you said you wanted me too."
He thought about it for a minute.
I did say that, damnit.
"So is that your real answer?" Charlie asked curiously.
He glanced at her seeing her hopeful red eyes. Husk had expected to see her mocking him in some kind of way but that wasn't the case. She wore a genuine expression while she waited for him to answer her. How can someone look that caring towards someone like him?
"Why?" was all he asked.
"Because you were there for me when I needed you and I didn't even have to ask. I'm not talking about the me almost bleeding to death in a broken down house. You helped me a lot and that's something I really needed. I knew you were a great guy behind all that grouchy exterior and I want to be with you. I don't want to do things that upset you so you just gotta warn me because I don't know what you're thinking. Nothing you think will be stupid. We can talk about it whenever you want."
"I haven't really dated anyone. You aware of that aren't you?"
"Yea I had heard you telling Angel Dust one day. That doesn't bother me."
Husk arched an eyebrow.
"You're kidding."
Charlie blushed and shook her head.
"Honestly the only difference between me and Angel is I've been alive 230 years. Our number of sexual partners is dangerously close to the same number."
The cat demon just stared at her.
"So…. I don't want you thinking I'm above you because you think I'm perfect. I pretty much slept with a good bit of people because I was lonely. It's easy to find someone to sleep with but it's harder to find someone to sleep by… if you know what I mean."
"Yea I understand that shit."
The princess smiled and tucked some hair behind her ear.
"My answer is yea. I'll be with you."
Charlie's grin came back at full force.
"R-really?!"
"Yea, still don't wanna tell anyone yet."
"That's fine!"
She kissed him again before taking his paw in her hand and swung them around slowly.
"So…. what now?" Husk asked with a small grin creeping up on his face.
"Now, you help me find all my clothes you threw around your room!" the princess said with a laugh.
