Just You, Thatâs Enough - A Huskerdust Ficlet
Husk sat next to Angel on his bed slowly, golden eyes never leaving his face. Angel had merely only nodded slightly when Husk asked if he would like to talk about his feelings. Theyâd been âtogetherâ for a couple weeks now but Husk had noticed that Angel hadnât been talking as much about his problems as he used to.
Which of course, was not necessarily a bad thing, but Husk sensed it wasnât because he didnât want to talk about it, but rather something else.
âHey. You can talk when youâre ready. It donât gotta be right now if you donât want it to be,â Husk gently rested on hand on his shoulder as Angel took a deep breath. The spider all but flopped backward with a prolonged groan, all four limbs splaying every which way. He scrubbed his top two arms down his face and opened one eye to look at his boyfriend. Nothing but love and tenderness was present in his dilated pupils, and somehow that made Angel feel even more like trash. Though it didnât stop his heart from betraying him with a flutter at those warm eyes.
âI justâŠHuskâŠugh I ainât no good with words,â Angel frowned, attempting to organize his thoughts into something coherent. âJust so weâre clear here, this ainât nothing to do with you,â Angel quickly supplied. Husk was the furthest thing from the problem.
âSo thenâŠI havenât done anythinâ to make you uncomfortable?â
âNo!â exclaimed Angel hastily. âItâs all me Husk, Iâm such a mess.â
âNo baby, noâŠâ Husk sat back against the headboard and motioned for Angel to join him. The exhausted spider easily obliged, curling up in his lap and smushing his face into Huskâs chest with a heavy inhale. Just relaxing in Huskâs arms and smelling the familiar scent of whiskey ever present around him. Husk began running his finger in Angelâs hair, a soft purr emanating from his chest, something that put a contented smile on Angelâs face. Angel cracked his eyes open and stared blankly at the wall for a good moment before speaking.
âItâs just, every guy whoâs ever fucked me never wanted anything to do with me afterward, except Val I guess. Which Iâm used to, that ainât the issue. But then baby, you come along and literally drag my standards from rock bottom by being your perfect self and how am I supposed to even react to that?â A dry chuckle escaped Angelâs lips as he spoke. âI mean, you havenât even tried ta touch me yet, and somehow thatâs more romantic than any other dick Iâve ever slept with,â Angel lifted his gaze to meet Huskâs, who was looking at him softly, listening but not saying a word. One hand fisted the fur on Huskâs chest before Angel continued.
âAnd I wanna return the favor ya know? I wanna be a good boyfriend amore, I wanna be there for you, I wanna help you, I wanna make you feel good,â Angel snickered before adding, âBoth in bed and not.â
Husk chuckled at the comment, ruffling the fluff on Angelâs head despite his weak protest. âWell Iâm glad ya think Iâm doing a good job Angel, you deser-â
âNo, I really donât,â Angel suddenly cut in, annoyance flashing over his features briefly.
The cat stared at him in bewilderment. âBaby, of course you do, donât-â
âNo, I donât,â Angel repeated through clenched teeth, brows furrowed. Husk opened his mouth to protest but Angel held up a hand to stop him.
âYa donât get it Husk! Why should ya have to put up with my stupid bullshit when I can barely even uphold the role of a boyfriend? I come cryinâ ta ya every fuckinâ day and every fuckinâ time ya just fix me right up and pamper me like some fuckinâ princess,â Angel burst out, frustration written all over his face. He got to his knees in front of Husk and snatched his hands with all six of his. âIâm tryna hug ya and kiss ya and listen ta ya and just be a normal fuckinâ boyfriend but it ainât enough! It ainât nevaâ gonna be enough to pay ya back for everythinâ ya deal with âcause of me. Not ta mention Iâm used-up sloppy seconds, nothinâ much more than a good one night stand. The fuck do I know about beinâ a romantic partner? My whole gig is beinâ a toy for them fuckers to use ta jerk off or some shit. I fuck guys for a livinâ and then do it again faâ a bit oâ cash just ta spend it on gettinâ myself high.â Tears began to leak out of Angelâs eyes as he tried to wipe them away, smudging his mascara across his face.
âI dunno how ta love you Husk okay? I-I-I canât-â a sob interrupted his rant, but he continued anyway. âI want ya to have someone whoâs actually worth ya time, someone who ainât a slut or a whore whoâs always covered in other menâs jizz but there ainât nothinâ I can do âbout it!â
Husk took a breath before trying to speak. âAngel youâre not-â
âAnd thatâs anothaâ thing! You think so fuckinâ highly of me when I know thatâs not true â I know itâs not! As long as Iâm stuck under that bastard I canât be anythinâ more than just Hellâs hottest dick-sucker.â And you deserve better Husk, but Iâm also a selfish bitch you doesnât want you ta leave me though you have every reason toâŠâ
Husk closed his hand around two of Angelâs, willing him to meet his eyes. The eyes that met his were wet and red, slightly puffy, and had eight streaks down his pale-furred face. He lifted his other hand to Angelâs cheek, not missing how the spider leaned his face into his palm.
âFuck, I didnât want ya ta see me like thisâŠâ Angel mumbled, his face beginning to flush.
Huskâs thumbs wiped away the stains on his face as he caressed Angelâs cheek. âDo you have to be such a fuckinâ gorgeous crier? Geez AngelâŠâ he muttered, so low Angel could barely hear. Thatâs all it took for Angelâs white face and chest to resemble a tomato as he shoved his face back into Huskâs chest and whined in embarrassment.
âThis is exactly what Iâm talkinâ about kittyâŠdo you gotta be so damn sexy?â Angel grumbled, voice muffled by the fluff. The deep rumble of Huskâs laugh sent a shiver down his body from their point of contact.
Despite the light-hearted moment, Angel felt a tear involuntarily slide down his face, further wetting Huskâs fur. Husk delicately placed a finger underneath Angelâs chin and tilted his head up to him. Husk looked into his eyes, then leaned down and kissed Angel â right on the mouth â and let his lips linger atop the spiderâs. He felt Angel sigh into his mouth and relax his lips on Huskâs. Husk barely pulled away, their mouths still touching before he all but whispered, a secret only intended for the two of them.
âWhat makes ya think I donât love ya enough to love the ugly parts too?â
Angel only blinked in response, fuchsia eyes widening.
âAmore mio, youâre my everything, and I mean every part of you. You taught me what itâs like to love someone again even after I lost all hope of that. Ti amo Angel, sono innamorato di te, the good parts and the bad. I love you and how kind and loyal you really are, even after everything thatâs happened. I love you and your habit of scrunching your eyebrows when youâre mad. I love you and your obsession with pigs. I love you when you are strong enough to endure the challenge thrown your way. I love the little heart patterns in your fur. I love your adorable smile. I love that you like to wear pink clothes. I love every part of you. Weâre in this together.â
The tears only fell more from Angelâs face, but he wasnât sobbing. Rather he looked utterly enamored and in love with the man cradling him at the moment. He laughed, and Husk wiped the streaming tears away but they only kept coming. Angel laughed harder and threw himself onto Husk, knocking the other demon backward and knocking the wind out of him too. Angel took the catâs face in his hands and kissed him happily, smiling all the while. Husk melted into the kiss as Angelâs other arms wrapped around Husk, bringing them as close together as they could possibly be. Angel broke away, unable to stop laughing and his eyes absolutely twinkling with joy.
âCos'ho fatto per essere cosĂŹ fortunato?â Angel smiled at his boyfriend, resting on top of him and tracing circles on his chest.
âTi amo tanto,â Husk replied simply, wrapping his wings around Angelâs thin figure and squishing his cheeks. Angel collapsed on Huskâs chest and hugged him close.
âAnchâio,â was his muffled reply, as he snuggled further into Huskâs fur. Huskâs tail entwined itself in Angelâs long legs as the two held each other close, simply enjoying the feeling of each other.
And thatâs all they really needed to be: Being together, thatâs enough.
