Bonus Part 3♠️♣️🃏: 1) Sickness

"Hmh. I love ya kitty.." Angel cooed sweetly, kissing his white furry cheek. Husk could still seethe look of slight worry that was shining behind the clearly false smile he was presenting in this moment. The spider demon was a lousy actor in his opinion but he would never tell him that.

"Yeh, yeh.. I'll see you later." He merely drawled back setting his hat on his head and heading to the door.

"Count on it." Angel responded immediately, his eyes never left his boyfriend as he walked out the door of the bedroom suite leaving Fat Nuggets, who had been following him around as he was the only one of the two up and moving about, sitting in front of the now shut door. Angel sighed heavily once Husk had left and flopped back onto the bed desperately hoping that everything would be ok, that he really had just grazed the skin of his boyfriend but part of him just couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that this wasn't the case. Fat Nuggets then hopped up onto the bed and began nuzzling into him bringing a small smile to curve he pale spider demon as he cuddled up with the piglet...

..Sometime later......

"Husk... Husk? Y-you feeling ok?" Charlie's voice seemed to fade in and out as the grey and white furred cat demon blinked several times trying to shake the weird dizzying feeling that was washing over him. He felt the Princess of Hell touch his arm as the blonde demon looked up into his face, her eyes huge and round with concern. "You don't look so good.." It was just the two of them in the foyer at this moment as Charlie had only come to check on the alcoholic demon cat like she did every time he was on shift, making sure he was ok and attempting to persuade him to try and cut back a little on his drinking. She would usually fail but she wouldn't give up as the blonde princess seemed to believe that he was not as 'lost' as he kept claiming to be. As she did with Angel she was certain that he was redeemable and the two of them could help each other with their recovery but of course the demon cat dismissed her theory immediately.

"I'm fine.. I'm fine." Husk brushed her off, not wanting to be made a fuss of but was forced to immediately stop feeling suddenly unsteady on his feet and swaying a little. "I don't need you to— Whoa!" He broke off feeling light-headed making Charlie immediately move back in. She had raised her hands as a precaution but was respecting his wishes by not actually touching him, her expression showed she was willing to care for him if he would only allow her to.

There was a moment when the demon cat just stood looking dazed with his hands slightly out and this only seemed to alarm Charlie who was now right next to him.

"Husk?" Her soft voice spoke his name in a timid manner, she placed her hand on his forearm gently when he failed to register a response before he collapsed backwards to the ground.

"Oh-mi-gosh.. Husk!!" The Princess of Hell instantly dropped to his side and grabbed his wrist able to feel a pulse before her she swivelled her head, her blonde hair whipping as she did. "Someone help!!" The moment she had raised the alarm Vaggie shot through from the other side looking worried. At least she did until she realised it was Husk that her girlfriend was tending to and then she looked more apathetic..

"Oh great. He's passed out again and before dinner. What is that, like a new record?" The grey-skinned moth demon with long platinum white haired drawled unimpressed rolling her orange eye.

"No! No! It's not like that. He wasn't drinking while we were talking, this came on suddenly.." Charlie sounded in a slightly panicked voice as she moved her hand to check his breathing. "Where's Alastor?"

"Right here my dear, what seems to be the— Oh my.." The Radio Demon had appeared beside Vaggie making her jump slightly startled, he'd obviously been attracted by the sudden commotion but his red eyes widened in some shock at the sight of his friend on the floor. "It's a little early in the day for him to be this drunk.."
