Husk woke up with a loud yawn, he rubbed his eyes with his clawed paws, purring softly as he felt Alastor's crimson claws gently combing through his fur, a sense of warmth bubbling in his chest. He turned around and gently held the crimson tipped claw of his husband in his own, earning a fond smile from the deer demon in return, "mornin' Al" Husk greeted in a groggy voice. He slowly started to get up from the bed, but he was stopped by the long arms of his lover wrapping around his waist, keeping him trapped on the bed. Seeing Alastor first thing in the morning could be so bizarre sometimes, he didn't have his monocle or gloves on, even the red eyeshadow he wore had completely banished from his face. Not only that, but his usually well kept hair was a mess of tangles and loose hair, even his usual smile is small and sleepy. Husk smiled fondly and gently caressed his husbands cheek, his ring glistening brightly on his ring claw, yet the rings beauty couldn't possibly compare to the beauty of Alastor. Husk slowly leans in and kisses Alastor's lips, closing his eyes and enjoying the soft tenderness of their kiss.

  He sighed as he slowly pulled himself out of his beloveds grip, Alastor himself reluctantly following as they both climbed out of bed, Alastor holding Husk claw in his own the whole time. Husk sighed as he turned around to reach up and pet the soft red ears with dark black tips, he loved the feeling of those fluffy ears in the touch of his claws, and Alastor always seemed to love the feeling of his touch against his ears. Husk had to pull back so Alastor could focus on getting dressed, while Husk grabbed his hat and bow tie from the hat wrack, before turning around and staring in mild frustration as Alastor was staring at him. Lately, Alastor had started to refuse to so much as open doors without Husk doing it for him, which was really annoying, but he always kinda knew Alastor was a needy deer. Husk sighed and opened the closet for the deer demon, watching as he started to get dressed, Husk always liked watching Alastor get dressed in the morning if he was honest with himself. Husk whipped his tail to slap Alastor's ass, Alastor turned and glared daggers at the chimera, but that only earned him a sly smile back from him.

  Husk opened the door and made his way to the kitchen, Alastor wouldn't even cook these days, which was probably the strangest thing about Alastor's change in behavior. Alastor had loved to cook all the way back to their childhood, so the fact that he just stopped suddenly kinda bothered him, but he didn't ask, Alastor would tell him when he was ready to talk about it after all. Husk had been making breakfast for the past few months now, breakfast translating to cereal or the occasional piece of toast, maybe a hard boiled egg if he felt like it. Normally Alastor would complain about such low effort into cooking, or just the fact that he was clearly being lazy by making the easiest breakfast possible, yet he never said a single word about it. Thinking about it made Husk fur stand on end, it was so far out of Alastor's character not to boss him around and complain about his laziness, so Husk just tried his best not to think about it at all, don't look a gift horse in the mouth or whatever right?

Haze walked into the kitchen yawning, the young kitten had grown up to be a teen cat at this point, one that unfortunately inherited Husk attitude and Alastor's bossiness, not to mention his perfectionism. "Morning dad" Haze greeted while rubbing his paw over his eyes, Husk couldn't help but smile slightly at that, he had inherited Alastor's eyes. "Morning kid, I'm making toast today, decided I'm in a good mood" Husk informed the young cat demon, not so gently ruffling his hair. The young boy meowed loudly in frustration, "dad stop that, you're messing up my hair" Haze complained. Husk scoffed as he slid two pieces of toast into the toaster, "kid I couldn't mess your hair up anymore than your bed head already does" Husk said with a low chuckle, the toast popping out of the toaster soon after. "If it's already a mess don't make it even worse" Haze complained again as he tried using his paws to smooth out his hair. He'd inherited red hair from Alastor as well, even if his ears were shaped more like Husk, the old chimera always seemed to admire the few traits the young teen inherited from his husband more than the ones inherited from him.

  Husk laid out the plates and napkins as they all sat down at the table, Alastor absolutely insisted that they absolutely must eat at the table together as a family, even if Husk and Haze thought it was a bit unnecessary, they still went along with it since Al seemed to enjoy it so much. They all sat down at the table quietly, Husk starting to eat his toast without anything on it at all, until Haze brought out the grape jelly and started to spread his toast with it. Husk thought that the probably half burnt toast probably would taste a little bit closer to edible if it had something on it. Yet he kept his mouth shut and watched the young teen cover both slices of bread in the purple good, Husk chuckling slightly as Haze paws ended up coated in jelly. Husk looked over to his husband and asked in the sweetest tone he could possibly muster "hey Al, can you pass me the jam, I feel like actual flavor today" Husk remarked only to earn a frustrated look from his son. Haze looked at his dad with pain and anger as he said "dad, mom died in a cleanse five months ago".
