Summary
After the whole thing with Val at Consent, Angel is fine. Really. He just doesn't get why Husk still insists on taking care of him—with some pretty questionable medical methods, no less.
Angel might just get the idea that Husk is coming on to him. Which would be a lot easier to deal with than whatever this actually is.Series

Summary
On the night before Extermination Day, Husk finds himself behind the bar, and as usual, Angel is hard to ignore. Especially since Husk owes him an answer to a question he asked a month ago. Between card tricks, casual flirting, and the possibility that everything might end tomorrow, Husk finally admits that, against all odds, he might actually care.

Summary
There’s nothing to complain about, really. Angel loves the evenings they spend together at the bar. Husk makes good on his promise to teach him more card tricks, waits for him with a drink and an open ear when he returns late from work. He indulges Angel with hugs and hand-holding and cuddling as often and as long as he likes. They’re close and intimate in ways Angel has forgotten about or never even known before.
But not in bed, and Angel would lie if he said it didn’t matter to him.
Physical closeness has never been something Angel worries too much about. He hadn’t realized Husk—despite how unaffected he always seems—struggles with it. Good thing they’re both willing to try and figure out how to make it work.

Summary
After a long day at work, Angel returns to the hotel and finds Husk more drunk and miserable than usual. Understandable, considering it’s the anniversary of signing his soul away. Angel would love to make him feel better in the only way he believes he can. But he isn’t even sure if he’s welcome to try as Husk has kept stubbornly silent about that ‘nother time he promised weeks ago.
