A gift for Madipiecantfly
3rd person pov
Alastor was walking around. He was quite hungry for strawberries, oddly enough, and he wanted someone to go with him so he wouldn't be lonely. He walked up to Angel.
"HEY ANGEL!" He shouted at him
"The hell you want?" Angel said, rubbing where he hears out of
"Want to go get strawberries?"
"Is that a euphemism?"
"Of course not!"
"Then no."
Alastor continued walking around the hotel for anyone that would go strawberry shopping with him. He walked his way into the lobby where he saw Husk.
"HUSK!" He shouted
"What?" Husk questioned from the comfy seat of his bar.
"Strawberries?"
"Da hell that mean?"
"Do you want to go get strawberries?"
"No"
"Shall I assist you?"
"I already s-yes"
Alastor was confused at his response and how quickly he changed his mind when he said he would join him. What an odd thing, he thought to himself.
"Interesting..." Alastor thought out loud.
"What?" Husk asked.
"Nothing...let's just go to the store."
"There's clearly something up."
"Well, I think it's just interesting how you said no until I wanted to join you."
Husk got defensive, makes sense, after all, he is a tsundere. "SHUT UP!"
Alastor jumped back a little. He's never seen Husk this angry before.
"Sheesh...it's not like I needed strawberries anyways..." He said dismissively.
"No no!" Husk said, tugging on Alastor's sleeve. "I want to go...with you."
Alastor smirked. "Can you at least tell me why?"
"That's classified information."
"Dearie, I'm The Radio Demon. You know what I'm capable of, so think about it."
"Still nope, the 5 amendment still exists."
Alastor mentally facepalmed. "That applies to court with real people."
"We were humans."
"I'm still not telling you."
Alastor sighed. "Look at the end of the day, do you still want to go with me?"
"Of course!" Husk replied happily.
"Then come on, let's go," Alastor said as he held Husk's hand so that they could levitate together.
Husk's face went pink as he stammered "I-I....uh..."
Since Alastor is well...Alastor they got there pretty quick so by the time he responded, they were there.
"We're here! What were you saying?"
"N-Nothin'" Husk replied, looking down embarrassed.
"I highly doubt that."
Husk mumbled cuss words under his breath in response.
"Come on Husk, tell me."
"N-Never..."
Alastor rolled his eyes. "Whatever, just come in and choose your favorite strawberry."
Husk was very confused. "what?"
"I like plain old strawberries but hey, there's chocolate and a lot of other flavors."
Husk wanted to say Alastor, but he would embarrass himself right then and there, in the view light of a lot of residents of hell.
"Chocolate?"
"Well is chocolate a flavor?"
"Yes"
"Then that's your answer."
30 minutes go by and Alastor buys every single chocolate-covered strawberry known to demonkind and more.
Alastor and Husk walked into the hotel, Alastor carrying thousands of strawberries.
"Do you need any help?"
Alastor is barely walking straight but still replies with "Yep, I'm good."
"Seriously I can help you."
He places the thousands of strawberries from his arms onto a nearby table. "Phew...eat up, buttercup."
"I just want to say thanks..." Husk said before realizing that sounded like he genuinely liked him so he quickly added "I guess"
"You're welcome, I'd do anything for you my dear Husk."
Husk fell silent, not believing his ears.
"After all you are the best friend."
"Yea..."
"Why the long face?"
"I'm always like this."
"Look I know you're not all smiles like I am, but I can tell there's something wrong."
"There's nothing wrong! I just...need booze." Husk said as he walked to his bar in the lobby, Alastor following close behind.
"Husk dear booze can't solve every problem."
"Yes it can and I'll prove it!" He had a single strawberry in his hand and he dropped in his booze.
"Now killing people, yes indeedie!"
"What?"
"That's how I coped with my problems."
"Not much better than this booze."
"Is too! At least I'm not killing brain cells."
"You got a point there, my friend in hell, nobody gives a shit." Husk chugged his drink.
Alastor sighed. "Just enjoy your strawberries I guess."
Husk continued to chug his drink as he got drunk. "A-Al?"
"Yes?"
"Can I-I tell you somethin'?"
"Of course."
"I love you friendo."
"Same here Husk."
Husk passed out so Alastor picked him up. "Now where's a spare bed? Definitely not Angel's room..."
Soon enough Husk clung onto him for deer life. Alastor was very confused as a wave of a new emotion came over him like a tsunami. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS FEELING, he thought.
"H-Heh..." He dozed off for a quick second. "Oh right! S-Spare bed...oh w-wait I can craft one!"
He crafted a bed from for Husk and tucked him in.
"Sweet dreams cutie," Alastor said as he jumped up on the table bar thingy.
The next morning.
Husk woke up. "What the-"
Alastor had stayed up all night because he was making sure nobody would hurt his dear Husk while he was asleep.
He jumped off the bar table thingy. "Oh Husk! You're awake!"
"How is there a bed here?"
"I crafted it. For you."
"Just for me...?"
He nodded.
"That's...oddly specific."
"What is?"
"Making an entire bed...for me."
"Oh don't fret it, it only took a few seconds."
"Oh."
"Now for strawberry flavored breakfast!"
"Why the hell are you obsessed with strawberries for?"
"I dunno"
"Whatever." Alastor handed Husk some strawberries, he ate them.
"At least you like them."
"Of course I do, it isn't my favorite flavor though."
"Then what is?"
Husk was screaming internally.
"Well..?" Alastor asked.
"U-Uh...it's..." Husk tried to think of a good excuse.
"Tell me."
He said the first thing to come to mind. "STRAWBERRY!"
"You like...strawberry flavored..strawberries?"
"Yea..."
"Those are called regular strawberries."
"Th-That's what I meant..."
"I feel like you didn't."
"Sh-Shut up..."
"Look I can go get you more." Alastor offered.
"N-No these are f-fine."
"I want to get you the best."
"Why?"
"...reasons..." Alastor shyly responded.
"And what are those reasons?"
"Because you're my best friend!"
"Uh-huh," Husk said as he rolled his eyes.
"No really."
"I'm listening."
Alastor sighed. "I'm being honest."
"Says the one who has killed millions and probably lied his way to the top."
"I did not lie! I manipulated" Alastor protested.
"And that's different how?"
"That's not the point. The point is that I'm being honest with you."
"Doubt it"
"Clearly I'm not getting through to you..."
"No shit, Sherlock." Husk said with a laugh.
"So I'll tell you something...that...I've never told anybody else."
"What is it?"
"I'm ace but I swing towards guys..."
"What's ace?"
Alastor briefly explains asexuality.
"Huh...that makes sense. I, myself, am demi."(that's a head cannon of Husk for her)
"So do you believe me?"
"A little."
"What do I have to do to make you believe me?"
Husk smirked as he thought of something as Alastor thought oh no.
"What is it?"
"Tell Angel how you feel about him, all the bubbling anger."
"He would burst into tears."
"Exactly."
"I'm supposed to be happy all the time."
"You don't have to be."
"If it's for you, then ok," Alastor said with a sigh.
"Yea yea, wait what-"
"ANGEL GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!"
"Al?" Angel asked.
"Yes, it's me."
Angel Dust walked out confused, he's never seen Alastor angry before. Happy, yes. Scary, yes. But never angry.
"I have had a request from my dear Husk," Alastor explained.
"Howdy bitch" Husk greeted Angel with.
"Alright well spill it." Love-hate maybe? If I'm lucky, he thought.
2 hours later
"Phew...I think..I'm done."
Angel Dust stood there with a poker-faced, not effected. "That's it?"
"You expected more?" Husk asked
"Yes, I did actually."
"Please tell me you didn't enjoy that." Alastor said, worried that he had
"God no! Even I'm not that weird."
"Are you?" Husk questioned
"Not until someone pays me to."
"Why am I not surprised?" He asked with a sigh.
"Anyhow, that's all."
"Nah, I'll stay here," Angel said smugly.
"Fanboy?" Husk asked
"How'd you know?"
"You're Angel Dust, it's quite obvious."
Angel Dust nervously giggled.
"Or he's trying to get with one of us."
"Or both" Husk suggested
"Only one..." He mumbled
"Which one?" Alastor asked
"You heard that?" Husk asked
Angel Dust crossed both pairs of his arms. "N-Not telling..."
"Are you a tsundere or something?"
Husk laughed nervously.
"No!" Angel Dust protested.
"We'll find out sooner or later, you are direct," Alastor said.
"Then I won't be anymore!"
Husk sighed. "Look even without you being direct verbally, you're going to get red-faced like you are now when the one you like is in the same room without the other or does something romantic towards you."
"How'd you know that?"
"It's very simple."
Alastor had an idea. "I have an idea."
"Spill it," Husk said, curious
"We both hold his hand separately to see who he gets red-faced around."
"And why would we do that?"
"So the one he gets red-faced around can never talk to him again."
"Wait how does this benefit me-" Angel said before getting cut off my Alastor.
"It doesn't"
Angel Dust pouted and sighed.
"I'll go first," Alastor said as he held two of his hands.
Angel Dust tried his absolute hardest not to go red-faced but he failed horribly.
"So it's-"
"Sh-Shut up.."
"That's something we have in common." Husk said out of the blue
Angel Dust looked confused. "What d-do you mean?"
He had let go of his hands. "What do you mean, Husk?"
"B-Both tsunderes..."
"Towards...?" Alastor asked.
"Ohhhhh we're both tsunderes towards th-the same guy, right?"
At this moment Husk knew he has messed up greatly by getting Angel into anything.
"That's absurd, him and I are just friends!" Alastor said
"Is it?" Angel asked as he pointed to Husk, curled up in a ball.
"Husk?"
"Dude you just friend-zoned him."
"I didn't...I just thought..."
"Well, you broke the man."
"Gee thanks..." He whispered the plan into where he hears out of.
"I don't even need anything in return, I just really want to see you two together."
Husk looked at them, very confused.
"Alright alright, but how are we going to do this?"
Angel whispered to him "Just tell him."
"Says the tsundere," Alastor whispered back.
"Look just tell him," Angel said, still whispering.
Alastor took a deep breath and walked towards Husk. This is it! Angel thought.
"Yes?" Husk questioned
"I uh...damn why is it so hard to say?"
"What is?"
"Three words...three damn words..."
"We are friends?"
"No..."
Angel is really pumped up at this point.
"I...love...you..."
"You...mean it?"
He nodded.
Angel Dust was fanboy squealing.
"Get out."
Angel Dust walked back to his room but could still hear their conversation. Alastor hugged his new tiny boyfriend.
Husk went red-faced. "I-I uh...t-t-thanks."
"So cute"
"Cute?"
"Yes, dear."
"I-I am not"
"That's the funniest thing I've heard all year since this hotel started!"
Angel Dust was still silently fanboying.
"You k-know there's a-a saying t-that goes 'It's f-funny because i-it's true' but that's n-not true for this, I-" Husk said before getting cut off by Alastor.
"Of course it is!"
"Is not."
"Is too!"
A lot of bickering...
"So...cute..." Angel said as he cracked the door open so he could so just a silver of the room.
"C-Can we j-just agree I'm not c-cute?"
"No, because you're a cutie pie."
"Y-You're making m-me more flustered."
"I'm sorry dearie." Alastor apologized.
"I-I've just...never g-gotten this f-flustered before..."
"Oh it's quite alright."
Angel Dust, audibily screaming "KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS!"
"E-Eh?" Husk questioned
"Well I don't want to get Angel happy but..."
Husk looked confused. Alastor kissed him briefly as Husk turned more red-faced. Angel Dust had a lot of squeals of a fanboy.
"D'awww..." Alastor cooed
"Yesssss..." Angel adored over them
"You're cute, really you are, especially when red-faced."
"I-I am not r-red-faced!"
"Tell that to the mirror," Alastor said as he spawned a mirror and held it in front of him.
"Holy shit..."
"Told you!"
"Shuuuutttt upppp-"
"Never!"
Husk sighed.
"Don't be sad, smile my dear!"
Husk smiled slightly. OH GOD, HE'S EVEN CUTER GHJLIHKBKJLHBKJN, Alastor thought.
"Something wrong?"
"N-No why d-do you ask?" Alastor asked.
"You're...redder."
"Whaaattttt?"
"Mmm yes," Angel said, still spying on them.
Husk held up a mirror to him. "See?"
"Holy mother of Charlie!"
"Told ya!" Husk said with a giggle.
"I-I u-uh..." Alastor said as he started to do glitchy static noises.
"You short-circuiting or something?"
"Just u-uh...confused...I-I guess..." Alastor sat down on the floor, still hugging his tiny boyfriend.
"Well uh...maybe y-you are..."
"I-I dunno m-"
Husk kissed him briefly, making Alastor the flustered one this time.
"Sorry, it was...t-tempting."
Alastor has more glitchy static noises.
Angel Dust asked, "Hey what the hell is going on here?"
Alastor shot him.
I personally don't ship these two, but I wrote this as a gift. Personally, I ship Radiodust/strawberry dust.
