Here's the last chapter! God I loved writing this so much! My stupid started another story for them (Like I don't have other stuff I should be completing first )

I know this isn't the most popular ship but I love it and I'll still write for it! It's a damn shame there isn't more fanart.

Well, enjoy the fluff, the angst and the anger!

Vaggie waited by the front doors on the couch. She had a book, her phone and the front desk phone stretched over beside her. She looked worried and she stayed silent while she sat there. Husk had went to his room and drank more. She hoped he passed out and then tomorrow they could go looking for her.

She wished he would puke his guts out and suffer at the same time.

Charlie hadn't been that pissed in a long time. It was clear how hurt she was too.

Alastor sat on the other couch with a very big, green book in his hands reading away but she could see he kept looking where the hotel doors were at. Niffty was on the roof looking out just in case the princess showed up.

Angel wasn't home yet from work. Vaggie wasn't even sure if she would have the guts to tell him. She told all the clients they would get pizza for dinner and they were on their own until issues were resolved… so it would be a lot of take out for them but they didn't seem to mind.

She knew he didn't mean what he said. Vaggie knew- Charlie knew it but to hear those words hurt her. Charlie was nowhere near her father other than looks. The princess would never pick someone like her dad and Husk wasn't anything like the man. They were polar opposites and the cat demon actually gave a damn how she felt. He believed in her.

The moth demon knew she should go check on Husk but she was just so damn mad at him.

X

"Babe!"

Vaggie jerked awake and looked around wildly to see Angel looking at her with concern.

"Shit, did Charlie come home?!" she shouted, making him wince.

"What ya mean? Shouldn't she already be here?"

So... she went on to explain what had happened. Angel looked pissed- furious even.

"Are ya fuckin' kiddin' me?!"

"No."

He got up from the couch and started stomping off for the elevator.

"Angel, wait!"

Vaggie tripped over the phone cord and the doors closed on the elevator. The look on Angel's face was downright terrifying.

The doors opened up to the second floor and Angel Dust stormed down it. More than once, he watched one of his friends go through a nasty break up. Charlie was like that big sister who protected everyone but when she got hurt- it was bad. Bad enough she would take off out into the night without telling anyone where she was at.

Angel had murdered a guy for knocking up a friend and then skipping town. It didn't take much detective work for him to do that. This was going to be easy shit. He was sure Charlie wouldn't like him to murder the stupid cat demon and Alastor might have an issue with that too.

This time, he was going to protect her and fix things. Charlie deserved that and more.

He lifted one of his gorgeous legs up and kicked Husk's door hard enough to come off the hinges and broke it in half. The cat demon obviously was sleeping before that rude awakening since he was laying on the floor and some on his bed, hung over worse than he ever had.

"Are ya fuckin' stupid?!"

Angel watched as he rubbed his eyes tiredly looking pissed off too.

"What ya talking about?" he slurred out.

"What the fuck is wrong with ya, huh?! Ya told her she had daddy issues?! Yea, she's got some of those fucking problems but it had nothin' ta do with ya at all!"

"What are you babbling on about Angel?! Fuck! You came in here breaking down my goddamn door-

Angel prided himself on not losing his temper. He didn't care now. He grabbed two handfuls of fur off Husk's making him growl with pain and annoyance.

"Ya don't remember what the fuck ya said?!"

His mouth opened up but he didn't say anything. His brain was tried so hard to find the words or memories but it was coming up blank.

"How could ya talk to her like that?! Dontcha love her?!"

"What? I never said that! Let go of me!"

Angel threw him to the ground and screamed at him for ten minutes about everything that Vaggie had told him. The horror that overcame Husk's face was almost comical. Angel could tell he was really sorry but that didn't fix what he had done.

"She just…. Ran off?"

"Yea! Even Alastor is pissed at cha!"

The cat demon fell quiet.

"Why would you do that to her?"

"Fuck I was upset-

"With her? Ya can just talk to her about anything! That's the best thing about Charlie! She doesn't judge- all she does is understand! How can ya be so damn stupid?!"

"I wasn't upset with her- I was pissed at myself!" he snapped, "Look at me! Do you think I can fuckin' amount to anything useful for her?!"

"Where the fuck is that comin' from?"

"You heard that piece of uppity shit! He can give her everything she could ever want and need- I can't do that!"

Angel blinked. His hands fell to his sides.

"I can't give Charlie kids- she's fuckin' young still as a demon! I'm piss poor broke and what if her parents did disown her? What does she have then- I ain't no good for her like that!"

The porn star sat down on the floor against Husk's bed.

"Ya think Charlie cares about any of that? Do ya really think she deserves a piece of dumb ass shit like that guy? Jesus christ, she said the guy would bore her ta tears. She hated him and shit fizzled out after high school fer her. If Charlie was the type to want a rich ass guy, she wouldn't be here. She wouldn't even treat any of us with the respect she does."

Husk rubbed his face tiredly.

"Charlie said you were the best thing to happen to her. She went on telling me how much she loved ya and how out of everyone else- ya helped her keep going when she was ready ta give up. That you were the realest person here. That she wanted to tell ya but ya insist ya can't love or anything else like that. But ya can and ya do. Ya love Charlie so much and it's rather obvious."

Angel patted his shoulder.

"If I can ease yer mind, the princess isn't even sure if she can have children of her own. She's a hybrid, remember? Money ain't no thing for her either. Her parents wouldn't disown her for such stupid bullshit anyways. She got some daddy issues but I can tell ya she ain't projecting them onto ya at all."

Husk snorted and looked away.

"She wouldn't forgive me."

"If Charlie dumps ya ass at the first fight then she didn't love ya at all. Ya wanna know somethin' else?"

Husk sighed, "What?"

"She said when ya appeared at those pantry doors when she was hurt like that, she was sure life was being cruel ta tease her with the person she was in love with without confessing her feelings to. She said if that's what was gonna happen, at least the last face she saw was yours."

The cat demon swallowed hard, eyes watering and looking down at his lap.

"Ya said ya had this big hole in ya heart that yer ex left right? Well, little Miss Sunshines and Rainbows can't fix ya to the way ya were before but it would be pretty damn close right? She's the royal flush ya always wanted right? Well, don't let anyone else win the jackpot dumbass."

Angel Dust got up and grabbed Husk's limp paw pulling him to his feet.

"Come on."

Angel dragged his ass to the elevator and to the lobby where Vaggie was sitting with the hotel front desk phone and a book in her lap. She glanced up to see the two of them standing there and Husk looking a little worse for wear.

"Are you hung over?"

"I was. Not much anymore," he answered quietly.

"There's coffee in the kitchen. Asshole."

The spider pushed his stupid ass into the kitchen and there was Alastor waiting at the table with his hands folded together on top. His red eyes followed the cat demon as he grabbed a cup and poured himself a cup. Husk sat down across from the Radio Demon waiting for his horrible life to come to the end.

Husk flopped his head on the table and just groaned.

"Go ahead and say it. You being right and all that shit. I ruined it all and you can fucking gloat."

"Why would you think I would want to gloat Husker?"

"Because. You enjoy the misery of others and that's no lie. Fuckin' freak."

"You know The Hole?"

Husk raised his head and stared at him.

"Yea, that's where I was drinkin' before I found Charlie fucked up and shit."

"Ah. Well, apparently my shadow discovered a certain blonde angel was there since last night and hasn't stopped drinking since then."

"Charlie is at The Hole?"

"Perhaps. It certainly looked like it."

The cat demon jumped out of his seat to leave when Alastor reached over and gripped his arm with a bone crushing grip that Husk flinched and growled in response.

"You are dangerously close to ruining my fun. You mess up again, I'll kill you. Is that clear, Husk?"

He swallowed hard. He felt like he was being scolded by a parent.

"Yea it's crystal fucking clear."

Maybe it was his hangover and maybe it wasn't but he swore for a second Alastor visibly relaxed.

It's just my head playing tricks.

Alastor let go of him and he took off out of the hotel, ignoring Vaggie after he said he was going to bring Charlie back. If she didn't want him back, that was fine but he wanted to make sure she was ok and back home. He didn't want a repeat of what happened a while ago.

Just thinking about her in that condition made his heart hurt and his chest feel tight.

Holy shit. I move faster when I'm not drinkin'. I could actually give someone a run for their money.

It was probably the sheer amount of panic he felt too. In his head, he didn't really even remember talking to her like that but he woke up to Angel busting down the door and he saw the glass bottles in his bed…

He knew he fucked up and badly.

He never meant to hurt Charlie like that. He wouldn't have hurt her like that in his right mind but his past issues started to override his common sense. He was himself now. Charlie wouldn't even be with a guy like that green skinned fuck. He understood being young and shit- he slept with some horrible people himself.

The sad part to this all was Husk had more real life experience on Earth than Charlie and she was still the more mature of both of them. He rubbed his face just thinking how big of a fucking idiot he was. The princess experienced Hell all her life and it was a damn shame too. She deserved way better than literally Hell.

He wished he could show her all the beautiful things on Earth. The water, the mountains and the green grass. Even a fucking painting couldn't compare. He threw it all away after one bad break up…..

If I hadn't I wouldn't have Charlie.

That thought stopped him in his tracks. He wasn't too far from The Hole now but he stopped.

The fucking irony.

Husk didn't wanna win Charlie back with pretty words and phrases. He wanted to tell her the truth or at least some of it.

I really am an old guy set in my ways.

But he was going to fix that and he hoped she would wait for him while he did so.

Husk started walking again, almost jogging which was difficult with wings. He pushed open the doors to see his favorite bartender from this place sliding a beer to a horse demon. The big buff imp grinned and waved him over.

"Hey old man! It's been months!"

Husk paused.

Oh shit. It has been.

"Yea it has."

Husk looked around at the booths trying to spot her blond hair but he didn't see her.

"You aren't here to drink are you?"

"No, I'm not Slate. I'm looking for my girl actually."

Slate the imp gaped him.

"Yea, I know. It was a shocker for me too."

The imp snorted.

"Whatcha she look like? She a drinker too?"

"No, not really. She's blonde and goes by Charlie."

Slate's green eyes widened to ridiculous portions.

"Shut the fuck up," he breathed out.

"What? What I say?"

He motioned for Husk to get a little closer.

"You're dating Princess Charlotte- Charlie I mean."

"Yea, I am. You seen her?"

Slate turned to the side and pointed at the very end in the dark ass corner. There was Charlie, sipping away on a straw on a blue slush drink.

"She's been drinking since she came in here, handed me a stack of bills and had me make her a drink she called Blueberry Blast. Too sweet for my tastes but she's been drinking them without stopping. If I see her without a drink, I gotta place one in her hand. That's what she asked of me."

"You haven't left her?"

The imp shook his head.

"She cried for a while between drinks but she got super plastered. Apparently her flame abilities prevent her from being so fucked up unless she was drinking that shit they call Satan's Piss. She's been tipsy the whole time but she's been pretty quiet for the last eight hours. She's been holding her side too. I offered to help patch her up but she said it's an old injury and it acts up sometimes."

Shit.

"Thanks for not leaving her."

"No problem and since she's your girl, I'm glad I didn't. Why in the hell is she with you anyways?"

"I couldn't explain it if I tried."

Slate snorted.

"You fucked up bad, didn't ya?"

"You wouldn't believe it. I just… got stupid and pounded bottles of whiskey…. I said some shit I shouldn't have. I just want to make sure she makes it home alright."

"So…. you pretty much stopped drinking hard shit."

Husk nodded quickly.

"Well, I guess there's hope for Hell after all. You want to go to Heaven huh?"

"Don't want Heaven. I'm fine with walking away from my vices and staying with her. I'm still bound to that fuckin' psycho anyways."

The bartender grimaced.

"Well, if the princess wants to hang a few posters in here, I'll do it."

Husk just stared at him.

"If she can take a fuckin' drunken gambler like you and get you to change, then by all means man…. There's hope after all."

"Thanks."

"Hang on. I'll make another slush for her."

Slate made her drink quickly and slid it to Husk over the bar.

"She still loves you by the way."

The cat demon froze in his tracks.

"Wh-what?"

"She still loves you. She's told me a few times already."

Why

That question was screaming through his head almost the whole time he'd been with her.

"Go get her."

Husk gave him a quick nod and made his way over to her. He looked at the drink, remembering he had made it up after Charlie told him the kinds of flavors she liked. It was more like a blue razz berry flavor but she called it Blueberry Blast. It was vodka, a blue juice she liked drinking and some ice. Sometimes he would put rainbow candy in it if she was having a bad day.

He remembered they had a party to celebrate the new client. It was the only drink she had.

She liked me then.

The sudden realization hit him like a semi truck. Goddamn he was stupid. He didn't know until she practically threw herself at him on her bed.

He swallowed hard when he came around to stand beside her.

"Peaches."

Charlie's head jerked up and turned to the side, staring at him in such shock it was almost laughable to see had her eyes not been pink and puffy and she was holding her side. The most shocking of it all was that she grinned. She was fucking thrilled to see his face after what he did and said.

"Husk I missed- the words died on her lips and she frowned quickly.

She blinked her left eye then her right in the most unsettling way.

"I-I mean- I'm mad at you but I'm glad you're ok!"

Jesus Christ. She can't even be pissed off without being nice.

"Charlie… Here."

Husk placed the drink in front of her. She glanced at it then back at him.

"Slate had been watching you the whole time and had me bring it to you."

His eyes looked at the floor instead of her face. Goddamn was he ashamed. The worst part was, Charlie took his claw and held it, giving it a gentle squeeze but he pulled away. She looked hurt all over again and he sighed.

"I was fuckin' terrible and I don't even remember it. I don't what makes me feel worse- the fact I forgot or the fact I'm glad I don't remember it. You don't deserve to be talked to that way and that's my fault. It's a me problem not a you problem."

The princess took a sip of her new drink.

"Why do you assume it's a 'you' problem only?" she asked quietly.

"Because…. It is."

"Says who?"

He swallowed thickly. He almost felt like he was suffocating.

"I don't know what to tell ya doll. I was told to shove my feelings down- men don't get emotional. Fuck, I was afraid to even let anyone close. Being engaged at thirty three is old for a fucking man and to be left like that. I didn't want to trust anyone else. I saw your ex and it reminded me of all the things I can't give you. That's not fair to you."

"What things? I haven't really asked for anything?" she asked, almost asking herself like she was trying to recall a memory.

"You haven't and that's what bothers me. I can't give ya kids, money or a place if something happens to the hotel. I can't give you a damn thing Charlie. I'm a drunk old man who can't forgive himself for all his mistakes."

The princess leaned against the bar with her elbow propping her head up.

"I don't want any of that. As for your mistakes, we can work through them and I do forgive you."

"But he said-

Charlie's smile faltered a little.

"I wanted kids yea…. But I found I couldn't have any. That was the main reason I dumped Seviathan. He told me I was less of a woman because I couldn't procreate. That I would never amount to anything among other things. I let him tell me that for a whole year after I found out."

She picked up her drink and sipped it slowly.

"I said I could adopt. He laughed at me for it. The only other person who knew that was my mom. She offered to murder him but I said no. I did want kids but if I married him, he would just take up a mistress to have 'our' child. I didn't want that. I let it all go but that's why. Mom wouldn't disown me and Dad would rather die than throw me away. My parents aren't the best because they technically didn't have parents to learn from their mistakes but they have standards and some morals."

"Shit…. I'm sorry."

"It's alright… It was another reason why I gravitated towards women too. I mean…. I can't knock up another woman right?" she said with a giggle, "So, I kept most encounters casual. I was always afraid to let my partner down with my own shortcomings. So, while I run the hotel, it's almost like a bunch of grown children I can't have. My hotel is my baby. I can never go to Heaven because of what I am. I'm stuck here forever. I never told you because for the first time in a long time…. You made me feel different and I didn't want you to be ashamed and embarrassed by me. I wanted to be a little selfish and have a good thing."

Tears started to cloud her vision. Husk grabbed her face carefully and made her look up at him but her eyes flickered to the wall instead.

"Hey now. Look at me baby."

Charlie glanced at him, almost looking ashamed.

"Fuck, I could never be ashamed of you. I was the bigger idiot. Not really used to having someone want to be there for me and so I just keep it to myself. I suppose it was my fault for thinking you were more well adjusted than me when we both have our fucking problems."

Charlie snorted loudly before laughing, making him grin.

"I can't promise I will always be the best and happiest fucking person ever but I will try and I will try to tell you when things bother me. Is that fair enough for ya?"

She nodded, "Yea. That works for me. I promise you the same thing."

He hung his head for a second and took in a deep breath.

"Charlie?"

"Yes?"

He lifted his head to see her eyes shining brightly even though they were a little glazed since she had been drinking for hours on end.

"I fucking love you so damn much."

Her red and yellow started watering up, "That's exactly the way I thought you would tell me."

The princess didn't give him a chance to answer before she slammed her lips against his and nearly knocked him off his feet.

They could hear some of the patrons of the bar whistling.

"Gotta breathe-

Husk pried his face from hers seeing her shit eating grin.

"Goddamn girl. Let's get ya home."

"Ok- hey!"

He picked her off the bar stool and carried over to where Slate was standing, handing someone a shot of liquor.

"Slate said you can hang a poster in here since you know, changed me and all that."

The princess stared at the bartender.

"R-really?"

He nodded, "Yup. If you can change this old man I have some faith in you Princess Charlie."

She groaned, "I'm older than he is!"

Slate snorted, "Yep that may be true but he acts like a grumpy old cat- which he is."

"Fuck off."

Charlie and the bartender laughed.

"I'll bring them when I'm finished with them. It might be a few days."

"Of course! Have fun making up."

Husk smirked while she blushed furiously.

They were already halfway to the hotel when Charlie decided to speak up.

"Hey."

"Yea babe?"

"Why did you come and find me?"

Husk frowned down at her, "That's a stupid ass question."

"Hey!"

"Because. Angel talked some sense into me…. He um, broke my door by the way."

"Angel?"

"He defended you and honestly, he might've tried to kill me if you would've been alright with it. I barely felt that hangover and nearly shit myself seeing the murder in his eyes. It was a sight to behold. He had to tell me what happened. Alastor threatened to kill me too if I hurt you again. He claims it was for his entertainment but I don't think that was too."

"Ok, but why though? Why did you come for me?"

"You aren't like Rachael. I will admit I was pretty terrible but I never cheated on her. But there's a big difference between the two of you besides that awesome spankable ass you have (Charlie snorted and turned pink) is the fact you actually want to talk about our problems and mine. You haven't called me a weak ass pansy for it either, you encourage it. When you have someone crush ya so fucking spectacularly, kind of turns you away from letting people get close."

"I'm sorry she did that."

"It's not so bad now that I said it out loud."

The Happy Hotel came into view.

"You really think that?" Charlie asked quietly.

"I mean every word. It might take me another damn year to say something else but I hope what I said is enough for you for now."

The princess reached up, holding his face with a fond smile on her face, "Whenever you wanna talk, I'll always be here for you."

"Fuck, you're too good for me."

He sighed loudly.

"I don't think that."

He glanced at her, "I know Charlie."

Husk hated to admit it but his arms were killing him. He wasn't even sure Charlie could walk or not so walking her to the door was the best option.

"Are you buzzin'?"

"Slightly but not a lot. Seeing you kind of sobered me up."

"Ah. Good then. I want you to remember everything."

"I won't be able to forget."

"Thank fuck because I confessed enough it actually makes me feel a little better on the inside and it makes me want to puke."

She snorted loudly before laughing. It was cut short however with Vaggie pulling the door open of the hotel to see them standing there.

"Charlie!"

He put the princess down and Vaggie embraced her best friend.

"Shit! Are you ok?! I was so worried about you!"

"Yea, I'm fine. Husk's friend at the bar took care of me. I have some good news! He said we could hang some promotional posters in there if we wanted!"

Vaggie blinked a few times, "You're kidding? You were working while you were gone?"

"Nope! It was actually thanks to Husk!" Charlie said with a big grin.

Vaggie glared at him but he looked away quickly. It was understandable she was still pissed. He didn't even forgive himself yet but his sweet girlfriend seemed to though- God only knew why.

Husk shut the door behind him when Angel came tearing through the lobby screaming incoherent words and looking close to crying. He embraced her with four arms and bawled like a baby. The cat demon glanced to the left to see Alastor and his shadow. The Radio Demon gave him a nod and disappeared into thin air. Niffty came barreling through next, grabbing his legs and giving him a big hug.

"Hey! Good job!" Niffty said with a grin, "You're growing up!"

"Jesus Christ woman," he muttered looking away.

"Charlie! That's not even the best part!" Angel screamed practically shaking her.

"What is it-

"I only have four arms! Only four arms!"

The princess, Vaggie, Niffty and Husk just stared at him.

"What- what do you mean?" Charlie asked softly.

"I lost my one set I hid away! I haven't been able ta use them for hours! I think they're gone!"

Angel Dust turned to Husk with a shit eating grin.

"I think it's what I did for ya! Thanks for fuckin' shit up!"

"You fuckin' asshole-

Angel hugged him tight, knocking the wind out of his body. He struggled to get away but it was no use.

"It still felt good ta help ya anyways! I hope yer ok with that!"

The cat demon stopped struggling and sighed.

"Thanks for the help," he muttered, avoiding his face.

"No problem."

"Hon, take the rest of the day off."

"Vaggie-

"No, I mean it. I'll work on ideas for the posters and tomorrow morning after breakfast we can talk about it. Thank you for not fucking up the hotel- you really held it together. I'm proud of you!"

The princess' eyes started watering up, "T-thanks Vaggie…."

"You're welcome."

Charlie looked at Husk with a teary smile and held out her hand, "Wanna talk some more?"

He sighed giving her a smile, "Yea, why not.

He took her hand and they disappeared onto the elevator.

As soon as they were in Charlie's room, the smell of her arousal filled the room like a flood.

"Jesus christ woman-

"What?" she asked innocently, batting her eyelashes.

"I didn't even touch you yet!"

Charlie laughed, the sound was like music to his ears.

"Don't need to for me to want you."

Charlie pushed him down onto the bed straddling him with a big toothy grin. She placed a hand on his chest looking thoughtful for a second.

"I can practically hear ya thinking," he said hoarsely.

"Why did you say yes to me," she asked softly.

"Which time exactly?"

"The night of our poker game and the night I knocked on your door. Why did you say yes to me?"

"The first time…. I ain't gonna lie… I figured you just wanted to thank me. It would be the first time I had a pretty girl throw herself at me but you seemed so damn sure…. I for sure can say it was the best sex I ever had."

"You… you think I'm pretty?" she asked, looking a little shell shocked.

"Christ girl- have you looked in a goddamn mirror before? You make Kitty look like trash."

"What?!" she screeched turning red, "People think I look like a creepy ass doll!"

She hid her face as it burned with embarrassment.

"You…. haven't been told you're pretty before?"

"Not often, no. I mean Angel Dust says it but that's different."

Husk snorted lightly.

"Yea, I can see that. When I agreed to date you… I had spent all that time with you. I was waiting for the fucking punchline but you seemed rather sincere about it. I had thought about you that way more than once but it was more along the lines of fucking you than anything else. I just didn't expect you to actually like me."

Charlie smiled softly.

"And now?"

"I gotta be in fucking Heaven if someone like you wants my stupid ass."

"I don't think you're there just yet but you will be soon," she said with a sly grin before pulling off her shirt, "I hope you're ready."

"More than ever doll, I love you."

She wasted no more time making up with him.

Months Later

"Hey!" Charlie said with a wave coming up to two demons that entered her hotel, "Are you guys here to check in?"

"Yea. Whatever."

The princess grinned and held out a hand, "I'm Charlie."

"I'm Citi and this is Vince."

The other demon gave a wave.

"Alright! There's fifteen others here-

"Fifteen? I thought there were seventeen already here?"

"Oh well, some stuff has happened! One person went to Heaven already! She left a few days ago and Angel Dust joined the hotel staff!"

"Someone actually made it to Heaven?" Vince asked quietly.

"Yup!"

"Aye! Babe!"

Charlie turned around looking at the doorway and her face lit up like the sun coming out of the clouds. The two of them saw Alastor the Radio Demon walk into the lobby. Vaggie rolled her eyes and came over to the two demons Charlie had abandoned.

"Fuck, of course someone hot like her is with that weird cannibal fuck."

"You think she's with him?" Vaggie asked, "Gross. Don't insult her that way. Her boyfriend is close behind anyways."

"She is taken?!"

Vaggie placed a hand on her hip, "This is not a love hotel. If you were here for that, you might as well leave. We don't have time for you to just fuck around."
The two men stared at her.

Vaggie turned around in time to see Husk walking in looking tired as hell. The two demons watched as Charlie's pace became faster.

"Who the hell is that?" Citi asked, "He looks like a grumpy ass cat."

The moth demon snorted.

"Husk!" Charlie cried out and threw herself at him, "I miss you so much!"

"That's her boyfriend."

"What?!"

They watched the cat demon grin at her and released her from the hug. He held out his paws, clapped and his claws started to glow a bright yellow. Nine pink daisies appeared and he handed them over. Charlie let out a big squeal of wonder and delight before attacking him with more kisses.

"How?" Vince asked with a slight look of amusement on his face.

"Ah well, he helped her. She fell for him first and then soon after he fell for her. You might want to be nice, he's your bartender after all."

"Hey Angel!" Vaggie yelled.

A human with white hair and skin to match walked over to them.

"Yea Vags?"

"Get these two to fill out those packets."

"This…. This is Angel Dust?"

The eight foot human/demon abomination grinned, "Fuck yea it is! Charlie helped buy out my contract from Val and I'm free! I redeemed a good chunk of myself after that! If ya two freaks wanna redeem yourself, ya can do it in a year- maybe less. Kitty was a succubus and she made it ta Heaven first!"

"No succubus would go to Heaven first!" Citi sneered.

"Really? I used ta be a fuckin' porn star and I'm almost there. So if I can then Kitty the succubus sure as fuck did. Her girlfriend helped her get redeemed and now her girlfriend is half way there too. No one here is ta judge anyone else, ya hear? Ya see that fuckin' cat there? He used to drink up half the damn bar every night. Yea, maybe havin' a hot ass girlfriend will help ya but he gave it up and his gamblin'. We all relapse once in a while but hey, we're gettin' there. Ya want in or not?"

The two of them nodded quickly. Angel went to the front desk and pulled out two packets, slapping both in the face with their packets.

"Fill this shit out and don't leave anything out. We won't make fun of ya. Charlie had me cryin' a few times and there ain't no shame in that."

They nodded quickly.

"Sit there and fill it out. I'll be on this couch showin' off my sexy ass body."

Angel Dust strutted off. Vaggie snorted and made her way to Charlie and Husk.

"You better get to it because she has to work tomorrow!" she snapped.

Husk rolled his eyes, "Hey we have the fuckin' agreement I get her for a whole twenty four hours after I get back from whatever wacky bullshit Alastor has me do. It's been a fucking week, so you can have her at noon tomorrow. If she can walk, that is."

Vaggie wrinkled her nose in disgust but she grinned.

"Oh really?" the princess asked.

Husk picked her up like he had done so many times before with a smirk on his face.

"You can use that wheelchair to get around. You have a desk you can sit at. You can still work… maybe."

"Jesus christ."

Vaggie walked off to Alastor and started giving him orders. Husk pulled her into the elevator while she held her flowers.

"There's nine flowers here," Charlie said quietly.

"I know."

"Has it been nine months or did I miscount?" Charlie asked with a smile.

"It's about a week off. I'm counting the days in between of you asking me out and me saying yes. You counted it then so I'm counting it now."

"Awww, you're so romantic."

"Oh, you'll see how romantic I am once we get to our room doll. I'm gonna romance your fuckin' pants right off."

Charlie bit her bottom lip, smiling.

The doors opened up on the fourth floor and he started walking faster.

"Damn babe, you can't wait until we're in the room to smell like that? You know how it fuckin' gets me when you just smell like a fuckin' peach farm drenched in sugar."

"I can't help it-

He used his tail to open their door and slam it shut. He dropped her on the bed and took the flowers from her hands. Charlie didn't even wait for him and started throwing clothes off to the sides in all directions. Husk snorted as she held out her hands and he jumped on her, making her laugh.

"God I missed you so much," she said, holding his face in her hands.

"I missed you too, baby. You have no fuckin' clue."

He kissed her a few times then stopped, running a nail down the side of her face carefully so he didn't scratch her.

"What's wrong?" Charlie whispered.

"Just admiring you for a minute. I love you Charlie, more than you know."

She opened her mouth to say it back but he didn't give her a second to say anything since he wanted to show her just how much he really loved her after all.
