Day Seven: Perfect Date
Chapter Summary: Husk's late to the date and Alastor is a smug bastard about it.
...
"Hey, Huskie~"
Husk lifted his head to see Angel Dust smiling at him over the bar. The spider demon gave a sly grin, and he puffed his chest out- him and his stupid ego.
"I told you not to call me that; also, on a personal note, I ain't interested." Husk rolled his eyes and proceeded to shift away from the performer.
"Believe me, baby, I wouldloveto hook up, but it seems that you're busy at the moment."
"What are you… what are you on about?" Husk looked back in confusion.
"Well, it's Friday isn't it?" Angel laughed.
"Ah, shit!" The cat demon jumped over the bar and grabbed Angel's shoulders. "Do you know where they are?"
"Cool ya tits, Huskie. They're just in Al's room."
Husk quickly thanked the spider demon and high-tailed out of the lobby- all the while yelling "shit" over and over again.
"Have fun!" Angel shouted. The spider sighed with a smile, "He's in so much trouble."
Husk ran through the halls- panting because of how winded he was.
"Husk!" Charlie yelled to him as he passed by, "Aren't you supposed to be with Al-"
"No time, your highness!"
Maybe brushing off his boss wasn't the smartest thing to do, but, fuck it, he was late. He finally came across Al's room and opened the door. Alastor sat on his bed, with Niffty in his lap, performing a little light show in his hands. The two looked up to Husk with pursed lips and amused expressions.
"You're late." Alastor smiled.
"Yeah, sorry about that."
Niffty stood up and walked to Husk; she grabbed his arm and pulled him to the bed. "It's alright; as long as you got a game planned."
Oh, shit, right. It was his turn for game-night. It didn't help that Alastor wore a shit-eating grin.
"I was thinking Poker or something."
Niffty was quick to agree. However, Alastor rolled his eyes at Husk's lame idea, and with a flick of his wrist, a poker table materialized out of thin air, chips and all. The three gathered around and sat- well, Niffty had to stand on her high chair. Husk found it adorable. Husk grabbed the deck of cards and shuffled them around.
Alastor leaned to Husk, so Niffty couldn't hear, "You forgot didn't you, dearest?"
"Maybe I did; maybe I didn't."
Alastor smiled impatiently, "Husker."
"Alright, I forgot. Happy now, asshole?"
Alastor pulled the cat demon into a side hug, "I knew it! Oh, love, you thought you could hide!"
The deer demon began to laugh and soon Husk joined in with him.
Niffty giggled and asked, "What's so funny?"
Alastor wiped a tear away and patted the cyclops demon's head, "Oh nothing, dearie. Now let's play some Poker now, shall we?"
