Husk stood at the bar, his normal way to spend the day. He was drying a fancy glass while taking swigs from his bottle of booze. The day was boring but since Alistor hadn't shown his shitty face, it was good. At least until Angel got home.

The hotel door slammed against the wall and Husk could hear him cursing in Italian. Angel stormed over to the bar and sat in a stool, resting his head on his top pair of arms while the others were crossed.

"What will it be today, Legs?" Husk asked, grabbing the only pink glass owned by the hotel. It was Angel's favorite color so obviously Husk saved it especially for him.

"The usual. Make it strong."

Husk nodded, starting to make the drink. He purposely tried to make it not too strong. He didn't feel like dragging Angel's drunk ass up two flights of stairs since the elevator was out of order. He placed the drink in front of Angel and watched as he downed it in one gulp.

"I told you to make it strong," Angel complained, setting the glass back down.

"I made it as strong as you can take. I don't want to deal with your drunk ass again."

Angel rolled his eyes and got up, climbing the stairs without so much as a thanks.

Husk grabbed the glass and put it aside to wash later.

He jumped as the door slammed open again and Charlie staggered inside, carrying two huge bags of groceries.

"What's all this for?" Husk asked as Charlie set the bags down on the floor.

"Alistor needed ingredients for the jambalaya he's making tonight. We also needed more food in general and Angel wanted some snacks for him and treats for Fat Nuggets."

"Since when did people make requests?"

"Since Angel asked. Why? Anything you want?"

"Since you asked, some tuna would be nice."

"Tuna? As in… canned tuna?"

"No shit. And I swear, you better not say anything about my feline appearance and seafood."

"I won't. I'll tell Vaggie to put tuna on the list," Charlie said, walking away.

Husk went back to what he was doing and leaned against the counter, getting lost in his own thoughts. He didn't notice Angel had come back downstairs until he poked him. Husk looked up startled and accidentally let out the sound a cat makes when suddenly touched.

He froze, knowing Angel had probably heard it. He glanced at him and Angel's wide-eyed, startled look told him he had.

Angel smiled and giggled. "Since when did you make that sound, Husky?"

"Not a word," Husk growled.

"Fine," Angel replied with a shrug, going to the grocery bags and digging through, his piglet at his heels. He finally found what he was looking for and pulled out a box of chocolates and a container of what Husk assumed were some kind of treat for pigs. Husk picked up his bottle of booze as Angel pulled out something else but Husk didn't care enough to look. He took a swig and heard Angel place something on the counter close to Husk.

Husk glanced over and instincts took over. He jumped and hissed, all of him feeling suddenly scared. It was green and long and all he could think was that it was dangerous. That is, until he calmed enough to realize it was a… cucumber.

"Hahaha. I can't believe you actually got scared!"

Husk glared at Angel and threw the cucumber at him.

"You did that on purpose!"

"I didn't think you were that much like a cat, Whiskers."

"Fuck you," Husk yelled, turning around and trying to hide his face. Not only was he furious but he was really fucking embarrassed.

"You okay?" Angel asked, his voice softer.

Husk whirled around. "Besides being pissed?"

"Yeah besides that."

"I'm fine. Just embarrassed." Husk looked away but his eyes went to Angel's face as he felt a hand on his cheek.

"No need to be embarrassed, Husky. I love…" he paused. "I love you cat-like features. They're cute."

"Really?" Husk asked, his ears lowering slightly.

"Yep."

Husk smiled and rubbed his cheek against Angel's hand. He closed his eyes and started purring softly. Angel felt his cheeks warm as the purring resonated loudly from his chest. He was just so damn cute.

Husk opened his eyes slightly and smiled at Angel then closed them and continued purring. Angel gently rubbed Husk's cheek and smiled. All that mattered was him.

This is the first chapter of a small collection of one-shots. They'll mostly be focused on Husk acting like a cat. Requests for chapters are open so leave a review with a requested scenario and I'll write it, post it, and shout you out if you want. I'm excited to get started so make sure to make requests.
