You sat on your sofa at home, watching the minutes tick by on the clock hanging on the wall. Any minute now, Husk, Niffty and Alastor would show up, and the four of you would head to the Valentine Dance together.

You were wearing a long, silky, lilac gown with silver high heels and a pink and white flower crown in your hair. You had spent ages sitting at your dressing table, making sure your makeup was perfect, cheeks pink with blush, lips sparkly with strawberry flavored gloss. You only hoped Husk would like it as much as you did.

Knock knock.

You leapt to your feet and dashed to the front door, throwing it open in excitement.

"Hiiii!" Niffty squealed, immediately throwing herself toward you for a hug. "You look so beautiful!"

"So do you!" you cried in excitement, hugging her back. And you really meant it. Niffty was wearing a knee-length lime green dress with glittery white flats and a silver tiara, just like she had wanted to.

She pulled away from the hug with a huge grin on her face. "Come on! The boys are waiting for us in the car."

Niffty took you by the hand and led you down your garden path to the car waiting outside the gate. Alastor's mom had kindly agreed to drive the four of you to and from the dance.

"Hello there!" she greeted you as you and Niffty climbed into the back of the car, where Husk was already seated behind Alastor in the front. "My, you look lovely! Husker is a very lucky gentleman." She gave a wink in your direction, causing Husk to blush. "Buckle up, everyone! Next stop, the Valentine Dance!"

You glanced at your date as the car started on its way to school. He was looking incredibly handsome in a black tuxedo, matching Alastor's red one in all but color.

"You look really nice, Husk," you whispered to him.

He smirked, a pinkness glowing on his cheeks. "Thanks. You, uh... you look beautiful."

"Awwww," Niffty cooed. "You guys are too cute together."

You giggled shyly, but Husk grumbled and stared out the window for the rest of the journey. It was hard to tell if he was annoyed or just nervous.

By the time you all arrived, both you and Niffty arm in arm with your dates, the dance was in full swing with upbeat pop love songs blaring from the speakers. The school gymnasium look completely different adorned with pink, red and white Valentine decorations, and heart shaped balloons floating in every corner.

You scanned the room, smiling at the sight of so many happy couples. Millie and Moxxie were dancing together. A bird demon from another class was flirting with Blitzo, much to his annoyance. Charlie and Vaggie were kissing, having finally made their relationship official. Angel Dust and Cherri Bomb came as friends, and they were already planning mischief; you overheard them talking about putting firecrackers in the toilets as you passed by.

Just then, a gentle love song began to play. Alastor wasted no time in extending a hand to his date.

"Shall we dance, my dear?"

Niffty nodded enthusiastically, accepting his offer. You and Husk watched as they made their way onto the dance floor together, hand in hand.

You looked at Husk expectantly. He scowled.

"I don't dance."

You shrugged. "If you insist."

You didn't mind too much, content enough just being in Husk's company. Besides, it made you so happy to watch your best friend finally getting to kiss the boy of her dreams.

...Wait a second.

Alastor and Niffty were kissing.

Holy crap.

You had to bite your lip to stop yourself squealing in delight. A huge smile spread across your face at such a romantic sight, and you couldn't be happier for the two of them. So much had happened over the last week, and despite almost losing your best friend, it felt as if everything had ended like a fairytale.

Your eyes flickered back to Husk, who was also watching the happy couple's embrace with a smile on his face. His smile became a nervous contortion as he realised you were looking at him.

He cleared his throat and turned to face you. "I guess... since this is a date and all... maybe we should, uh..."

You giggled and gently pressed a finger to his lips, silencing him. You could feel his shaky, nervous breath on your hand as he took the hint and slowly leaned closer, wrapping his arms around your waist, eyes directed toward your lips, face bright red.

You had never seen Husk look so cute.

Finally, gently, your lips met as you melted into Husk's arms, feeling his fluttering heart beating against yours. The evening couldn't be any more perfect.

Thank you so much for reading! This was the first proper fanfic I've written in about 5 or 6 years, so I really hope you enjoyed it! I plan to write another Hazbin High School fanfic soon, so as Alastor would say, 'stay tuned'!
