Vaggie

Vaggie wasn't sure when it changed, and she wasn't entirely sure if Husk had noticed. Watching the duo from her spot on the sofa she saw the cat relax, she saw the spider give a worn, yet honest to god smile.

"Long night?" Husk asked

"I need a hard one Husky" Angel groaned sitting at the bar stool his lower hands holding the edge of the bar, while his higher arms rested on the bar top as a cushion for his head. The barman only nodded as he turned to pull bottles off the shelf and work at making the drink for the spider. Vaggie watched as she realised they hadn't even noticed her there.

"You know..." Husk trailed off placing the glass on the bar

"Don't" Angel snapped, it wasn't harsh just firm and Vaggie saw the barman lower his ears slightly

"I just think if you asked her"

"I don' wanna ask her! It ain't got nothing to do with her"

"That's not the point Angel" Husk responded softly, his hand moved the drink forward and Vaggie didn't miss the way his finger lingered on the back of Angels hand. Angel swallowed and moved to brush his fingers against Husk's. Vaggie had to look down at her book and smile. Huh, didn't see that coming at all she thought. Husk never seemed like the type to be emotional, in fact so far he has been pretty aloof with everyone. He's grumpy and this seems to be the last place he wanted to be. And Angel's lack of filter and violent flirting seemed to make the cat demon uncomfortable. And Angel only seemed to be doing it for the sake of it. She wouldn't have thought them two of all people would get that close. Though maybe it was for the best, it might get them motivated to try and redeem themselves.

Alastor

The hotel was quiet, and Charlie was busy teaching the flock how to be better. Angel was not among them, instead he stood before Alastor glaring daggers at him and it only caused the smile to widen on the Overlords face.

"If I didn't know better, I'd say you were going to attack me" Alastor said putting his staff behind his back standing straighter.

"Don't fuckin tempt me" he seethed stepping close to tower over the Radio demon "I ain't the type to get involved"

Alastor only raised a brow wondering what it was that had the usually flirty spider practically shaking with fury, aimed at him no less.

"But?" Alastor asked his curiosity and amusement peaking. Because this was interesting, and very foolish. Surely he knew he had no chance

"You. Ever." He emphasised "try to take his will again, I'll make sure you never make another broadcast again. Don't fuckin test me on this" he said three of his arms going around to trap him between the wall. The fourth poking a finger on his chest.

Alastor chuckled and had to commend his bravery, and stupidity. Alastor had only taken one demons will recently and it surprised him that Angel Dust even cared.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Alastor asked "I'll give you one chance to take this back"

"Did I fucking stutter?" Angel asked leaning in his face inches from Alastor. He could see the resolve in the dual eyes. He could see he meant it.

"Angel!" Came an all too familiar deep voice. "What are you doing?" He asked and Angel straightened, backing up to shield Alastors little cat from him.

"Nothin, Alastor and me were just havin a moment. Right Al?" Angel asked the seduction fake even to Alastor

"Yes" Alastor smiled finally understanding. Husk looked between them eyes wide and took Angels wrist to pull him back

"Don't provoke him"

"On the contrary, that was fun" Alastor pushed off the wall bowing to be level with Husk "and very enlightening" he chuckled

"Alastor" the Cat choked out, ready to apologise, maybe even beg. But Alastor only raised his hand to silence him.

"No offense taken. I'm rather impressed, in fact" he said turning on his heels and leaving the apparent couple to stew. Possibly argue. How entertaining.

Charlie

The lesson didn't go to plan. Another failure but they had all learnt from it. Well, maybe. She sat on the couch pinching her nose and scrunching her eyes as a headache was starting.

"You okay kid?" Husk asked causing her to jump and her eyes to fly open. His hand was resting on the back of the couch as he leant on it.

"Yes, long day" she laughed nervously. Husk wouldn't know, he had refused to participate today. Opting instead to take a bottle from the bar and heading to his room.

"I suppose that's my doing" he sighed taking a seat on the table "look, it's nothing personal. Casinos just ain't the place for me" he admitted and Charlie straightened up as her heart picked up. Husk was giving up information on himself, and she didn't want to ruin that. "Gambling got me in trouble and I don't have the strength to say no just yet"

"You're a gambling addict?" She asked softly and felt so bad, she had almost ruined any progress he had made.

He didn't say anything but the sag of his shoulders was all the confirmation she needed.

"Okay. Okay no gambling I get it. Gosh I'm so sorry Husk. I know you don't talk about yourself but is there anything else I need to know? So not to inadvertently make it harder for you?"

"Charlie Morningstar asking for boundaries?" He asked chuckling softly "guess we aren't the only ones learning"

She laughed nervously and couldn't really argue. She was known for getting too excited and pulling everyone around her into her need to complete it.

"Isn't that the point?" She asked and his face softened as his ears dropped slightly

"Pretty sure you're in the wrong place to start with. You don't need to change" Charlie smiled placing her hand on Husk's over his knee and leant forward. Opening her mouth to speak

"Hey Husky! You sexy kitty you I nee-"

Angel cut off as he entered looking between the duo. His eyes shot to their hands and before Charlie could read the look on his face Husk had pulled his hand free and stood up.

"The usual?" Husk asked moving to the bar and Angel glared at Charlie. It was hostile and even if she knew he could never hurt her, she didn't like the way he looked like he wanted to.

"Sure" he said forcing a smile to turn back and look at the hotel barman. He sauntered to the bar and took a seat putting his head in one of his hands. When the cat had placed the drink on the bar Angel had reached over to straighten his bowtie

"Thanks handsome" he drawled before letting his hand run down the vest jacket. When Husk didn't push him away, or snap Charlie looked to see the cats ears twitch as he cleared his throat.

Oh.

Charlie felt her face heat up as she realised, it was jealousy. Angel didn't like her hands on his man. She couldn't help the giggle bursting out of her and jumped up to move to the bar leaning over it. They both looked at her confused and her grin only widened

"I'm really happy for you guys" her head tilted "if you need any time alone let me know. I'll get everyone out for a bit" she winked and practically skipped out the room.

Lucifer

Charlie was ecstatic at their meet up. And as happy as it made Lucifer he worried for her.

"Dad it's amazing. They are clearly-"

"Charlie" he interrupted causing her to blink at him in surprised "Honey don't get your hopes up here. They are owned. And only one seems to want to pass through the gates" he reminded her. The two he remembered and on his visits from what he could tell, the cat didn't want to improve. And both were owned by overlords, Lucifer wasn't even sure they could ascend. The Spider had hope. He was smart and only signed over half of his soul.

"I know... but... maybe if Angel goes Husk will want to follow. I'd follow Vaggie if she wanted to go. Mum followed you"

He couldn't deny her that. Love was a very good motivator. But given who owned the cat he couldn't see Alastor being willing to let him go for nothing.

"Have you considered..." he trailed off because he had been struggling to bring this up to her. The snake Lucifer had no doubt would have been able, if they ever get heaven on board. But he had his doubts about those who had sold their souls.

"Look!" She whispered furiously pulling him to the railing pointing at the courtyard. The two in question were sat at the table, Charlie grinning widely.

"You can go and threaten Alastor but I can't talk to Val?" Husk growled

"It's not the same" Angel argued

"No, Alastor is fucking worse. You forget who I am, Angel. I'll carve up that bug if he eve-"

"I am fine" Angel gasped putting his hands on the cats shoulder. The cat glared up at him and moved his leg, the spider winced tightening his hold on Husk.

"You're in pain, and look at your face" he growled putting his hand to the spiders cheek. Charlie likely couldn't hear their hushed talk. But Lucifer could, and he could see the look. And it twisted his insides. He knew it, he'd felt it, recieved it.

"I'll heal" Angel said putting his small hand over the cats large one "I just want to spend the night with you" he was pleading.

"They're so cute" Charlie squealed and Lucifer sighed. He knew this was going to cause trouble, he was going to have to intervene at some point. He would, if Charlie asked, of course he would. But it wouldn't be pretty.

Husk

The hotel was quiet as Charlie and the others had gone out to find more sinners. They had all seemed eager to leave him and Angel behind. Not that Husk minded, spending time with Angel alone was something he enjoyed. It was better than being drunk, and he felt happy for the first time in a long time. The protective rage he had for his lover was shocking. He hadn't felt that in so long, he didn't realise what it was at first.

"Hey, ya know what?" Angel asked curled up on Husk

"What?" Husk asked and Angel looked up to him

"I think they know" he stated "about us. Like all of them, not just Charlie"

"So?" Husk asked not really understanding why that mattered.

"You're okay with that?" Angel asked surprised sitting up to turn and face him

"Why wouldn't I be?" He asked confused

"Well... ya don't talk about yourself, and you don't seem to be... boyfriend-y with me in public" he said

"I act the same alone or with people baby. Except the bedroom but I think that's just normal not to mention common decency"

"So... we... we can tell people?" He asked

"Yeah" Husk scowled "wait you haven't told anyone?" He asked and was surprised. Angel wasn't one to keep secrets, he was an open book and only on the real bad days does he hide.

"I didn't think you wanted people to know" Angel said quietly and Husk hated when he got like that. It didn't suit the confident soul he loved

"I ain't ashamed of you. It's just no one else's fucking business. I may not be a talker but you are. You wanna tell people do it. Tell your colleagues, tell Val, go scream it from the roof. I don't care, we got nothing to hide" Husk shrugged

"You have nobody you'd want to tell?" Angel asked softly and Husk shook his head

"Guess the only ones that matter have figured it out" he admitted

"Sweet! I wanna go out. Like a date, you and me" Angel declared and Husk pulled him close and kissed his head

"Whatever you want baby" he promised.

I have become obsessed and my brain can't quiet calm down enough to write something solid. So this is what I got. Just a quick drabble and not put together very well. Hope it is still enjoyable

Honestly has anyone else had the soundtrack on repeat?
