[That gets a laugh, because fuck, if Husk only knew what Angel's imagined about him lately -- scandalous, unspeakably kinky things, like waking up in his arms and talking to him under the covers when they're both half-asleep and kissing his forehead right between his feathery eyebrows and feeling his warm, furry, relaxed body wrap around Angel's like a blanket. Things that don't belong to two demons, damned to eternal hellfire.
But he leans into the hand on his shoulder and forgets to tease Husk back, just looks down at him with that serious, solemn, mismatched gaze, wonders what color his eyes were in life. If he was always "Husk", if he tended bar as a human, if their paths could've ever crossed. What he should do, now that they have.]
Yeah, I know. [It's soft, Angel's brow furrowed a bit, toeing the line between joke and serious.] Ya don't do that for anyone else. If you aren't careful, Husk, I might start thinkin' ya like me, y'know? [It's just careless enough that it could be a joke. But it's not. It's a door, opening just a crack, just enough for light to peek through. It's the first step on a path that's been beckoning Angel for months, now. He just has to wait and see if Husk will take the next step, swing that door a little wider.]
