Chapter Text
After the catastrophe that was Vox’s attempt to take over heaven failed, his approval rating amongst all of hell had dropped significantly over the past few weeks. Not to mention that he was also being given the silent treatment by Val and Vel, He had tried to apologise to them many times but they didn’t want to hear it.
How can he blame them? He chose a guy who rejected him decades ago over his team which accepted him and showed him the love and attention he so desperately craves for.
Vox looks up at the ceiling in his room, he hadn’t come out of his room in days. He stopped trying to apologize to Velvette and Valentino after the second week of silence from them, they hadn’t even checked up on him after he locked himself in his room. He probably deserves the silence treatment, No he definitely deserves it.
The Tv demon sighs and sits up, his blanket falling off of him. He looked at the empty spot on his bed, he really wishes Valentino was here with him right now. He misses his touch, his constant yapping and complaining, the way he leaned against him after sex. Vox’s heart aches just thinking about his team, he really wished there was a way to turn off his emotions entirely, then he wouldn’t have to deal with this pain.
Vox moves to the edge of his bed, hesitating a bit before pushing himself onto his feet. He wobbles a bit before remembering how to walk again, he heads for the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror. Velvette went through the trouble of getting him a completely new body because his old one went missing somehow
His new body looked identical to his old one except now he was a bit taller and his skin was darker, his claws glowed more than they usually did and were much sharper. He didn’t mind any of the changes that were made, he actually liked them but it was sad that he was wasting his new body on terrible romcoms and snacks.
Vox snapped back to existence when he heard a knock at his door. He didn’t feel like answering it but what if it was Val or Vel? No, it couldn’t be them, they were still mad at him. The TV demon, despite his resistance, answers the door. It was Kitty, she had a tray in her hands that held a glass of what looked to be orange juice and a plate with bacon and eggs along with a note. He blinks at the robot before him and she shoves the tray into his hands before skating away, Vox raises his brow and goes back inside his room, making sure to shut the door behind him.
He glances at the note on the tray.
“Hey V, Val is worried about you but is too much of bitch baby to tell you himself. You’ve been locked in your room for days now and we’re willing to stop giving you the silent treatment if you stop your Deer obsession so we’re getting you therapy and yes we know you hate therapy but it’s the only way we’ll kinda forgive you. Meet us in your office
-Love Velvette”
A smile forms on Vox’s face when he reads the note. “I’ll try” He mutters and starts eating the food he was given.

Vox shifts his collar as he looks at himself in the mirror, He smirks at how good he looks and teleports to the outside of his office. He slowly pushes the door open and peaks inside and there his team was. They were sitting down waiting for him, He took a deep breath and walked into the room.
The two turned to him, There was an awkward silence between them as they just stared at each other for a bit then Valentino walked up to him pulling him into a hug “I hate you sooo much” Val told him and he couldn’t help but smile.
The moth picks him up bridal style and sits down in his chair, He tries to pull back but Val pulls him back to his lap. Vox pouts “So what is this about me getting therapy?”
Velvette pulls up a holographic screen with a picture of a shark sinner “This is Mrs.Wave best therapist in hell.”
Vox gets excited at her being a shark but doesn’t show it mainly because he really doesn’t want to do therapy “are you guys sure I can’t do anything else than this therapy bullshit?”
“No” Both of them said glaring at him, Vox groaned knowing there was no way out of this one.
Valentino adds “I mean if you can somehow get rid of your obsession for the red twink without it then yes.”
“How am i supposed to-” He groans, leaning against Valentino’s chest “Fine therapy it is.”
“Don’t worry papito, it won’t be that bad” The Moth cooed, playing with Vox’s bent antenna “Your obsession with that red tampon has gone too far, me and baby doll have tolerated it for so long and for what?”
“To blow himself and all of us up over him clearly” Velvette added.
The Tv demon huffed as he didn’t have a response to that. Did his fixation over Alastor really go that far? He did try to kill himself and everyone else over him, he could have killed Velvette and Valentino. What if he killed them and then only he remained? Who would he have then… He would have been all alone, Vox pinched in between his eyes, he’s so fucking dumb.
He swallowed wanting to say something and he did, “Again im sorry” Vox said, he knew saying it for the 100th time wasn’t going to do anything but at least he’s apologizing for once, he never apologizes.
“We know V” Velvette pulled up another holographic screen, she was setting therapy appointments for him, appointments he clearly didn't want but what choice does he have? He’ll just do these stupid appointments to make Vel and Val happy, it’s not like he’ll actually learn anything from them.
Valentino leaned on top of Vox’s head “We should watch a movie later.”
“Are we going to do movie Fridays again?” Vox asked, he liked movie Fridays, it was one of those days where he could relax and not worry about alastor work.
Velvette looked up from the holographic screen, “Obvi, movie Fridays are the best.”
“Let’s watch romance!” The moth suggested clapping his hands together.
Velvette stared at him unamused, “We watched a romance film last week babes”
“I know but romances are peak films” Valentino argued.
Vox looks between them with a betrayed look on his screen“Wait! You guys did the movie Friday without me?”
“Ya”
“But why?” Vox frowns deepens.
Valentino pulled at the Tv demon’s antenna “Because you lost almost half of our fucking investors with your little taking over heaven stunt!”
“Me and Val had to work twice as hard over the past weeks to make up for the lost profits V”
Vox looks away with an awkward look on his face, “Right..”
“Hey look, the therapist has a few free spots this week” Velvette slides the holographic screen over to the two.
Vox gives a strained smile “Great,” He says through his teeth.
“I think every Monday and Wednesday would be perfect for Voxy,” Valentino says, typing that into the registration form for Vox.
The Tv demon crosses his arms, he needs to change their mind on therapy somehow.
— —
The next day Vox woke up with his body wrapped in Valentino’s arms, he blinked trying to remember what the hell happened last night but he shrugs when he can’t figure it out, he can just check his cameras. He slowly gets out of the moth’s arms and stretches his arms above his head, He pulls up his cameras on his screen.
His face glitches a bit but it eventually pulls up his cameras, they show him and Val flirting for a bit before getting drunk, heading to his room and the rest is self explanatory. He hums, maybe he can just win over Valentino with some gift giving and then no more therapy, wait- He still needs to get through Velvette and he knows she probably won’t take bribes for this. She looked pretty dead set on him going to therapy unfortunately.
Vox hums, the only other way to not go to the therapy shit would be to get rid of his obsession with alastor. How the hell is he supposed to do that? He’s been fixated on him since they met 70 years ago, he doesn’t think he could just get rid of his obsession just like that or could he?
Vox wipes his cameras away onto a floating holographic screen in front of him, since he was already on it, it didn’t hurt to browse around hell a bit, see what he’s missed. He scans through the cameras pretty quickly, a camera pointing at the Hazbin Hotel catching his interest. The hotel looked packed, there were a bunch of reporters and a whole line that ended at the bottom of the hill the hotel was on.
He grimaces at the sight, stupid princess and her hotel. He rolled his eyes and started observing his other cameras again, and one of them glitched when a little deer in red walked into it. Vox’s attention went fully to that camera and pulled up others in that area, there he was, Alastor. The TV demon grinned, stupid Radio Demon on his turf, For what? Was he trying to stir up a fight again? Vox stared intensely at the deer who was just walking in the area.
Just the sight of Alastor undoubtedly riles Vox up, he wanted to head down there and fight him. He was-
“Voxy,” Valentino muttered.
Vox turned to the moth on the bed. He was still sleeping but his arms were searching for Vox in his sleep, the TV demon clenched his hands into fist, looking between his cameras and the moth, he sighed and climbed back into bed. Letting Valentino’s hands wrap around him, his back pressing against his business partner’s. Vox still watched his cameras, silently stalking Alastar, trying his best not to wake the moth cuddling him.
Though his little stalk session was short-lived as Velvette walked into the room, He quickly closed off his cameras, “Velvette?” He called out her name.
She turned to him with an angry expression, “Do you two know what time it is?”
“No…”
“It’s fucking 1pm! We have a meeting with the other overlords at 1:30” Velvette shouted at him.
Vox immediately jumped out of bed “Wait?! Why didn’t anyone tell me this” He shook the sleeping moth next to him awake, “Val wake up.”
While Valentino gathered himself, Vox started to get ready, Velvette sitting on his bed using her phone. It took a while but they were all now ready but now they only have 10 minutes to reach the meeting, they all headed down stairs where a limo waited for the three. The vees knew they weren’t going to make it to the meeting on time and they frankly didn’t care.
Val and Vox sat on the right side of the limo and Velv laid down on the left which she had all to herself. Valentino was leaning himself onto Vox as he scrolled through some files on his screen.
Valentino looks at Vox’s screen to see a bunch of files instead of his face “Papito what are you doing?”
“Just looking for a specific file” He said, his tone a bit annoyed, “But I can't find it.”
“Maybe I can help” Val moves in front of Vox, sitting between his legs “What’s the name of the file?”
“Uhh,” The Tv demon hesitates for a moment but eventually spoke “it’s supposed to be called Feelings_Red”
Valentino raises a brow at the name but doesn’t question it, he clicks and searches around Vox’s screen till he finds it, “I found it.”
“Delete it”
“Alright” The moth shrugs and deletes the file without a second thought.
Vox lets out a small sigh, “Can you reset me now?”
Valentino nods and presses a button at the back of Vox’s head making his screen shut off for a moment, then the vox-tek logo pops up showing a loading bar under it. The moth looks outside to see their nearing Carmilla’s tower, when the limo stops Vox boots back up just in time. “Welcome back sleepy head~”
Vox blinks at him silently for a bit, he smirks “We’re here already?”
“Ya now get out the fucking car” Velvette death glares at them both, “We’re 15 minutes late” She looks down at her phone, “Make that 16.”
“Since when do you care about being early to overlord meetings?” Vox asked.
Velvetted grins, “I don't, I just like rushing you two” The other vees stare at her annoyed and she pulls them towards the elevator.
The three make it to the meeting room, Vox holding open the door for Velvette and Valentino.
“Hum” Carmilla stopped what she was saying staring at the three overlords that just came in, “So nice of you 3 to join us, late like always” the vees all sat down next to each other.
“Excuse us, Carmilla but we had more important things to do then be early to this meeting” Vox spoke on behalf of the vees, a smug look on his face.
Carmilla didn’t want to encourage the vee's bad behavior and continued with the meeting.
Vox and Valentino’s hands were intertwined underneath the table, the two weren’t even listening to the meeting. Instead passing a note between each other like teen lovers in high school and at some point Velvette joined in on the note passing. Vox didn’t know why but the entire time he felt like someone’s eyes were on him, He frowned and finished writing what he wanted on the paper, passing it to Vel. He looked up, looking at all the overlords at the table till his eyes locked with the Radio demon.
Alastor was staring at him, Vox gave an uncomfortable smile and looked away, paying attention to Velvette and Valentino instead of the creepy deer on the other side of the table. The deer couldn’t affect him now, he took care of that. He looked down at the table when he felt Valentino pass him the paper they were writing on.
Note: (Val Vox Vel)
Has Carmilla’s hair always looked that ugly?
Fucking yes, are your eyes getting worse?
NO! Their actually getting better
Has your obsession with the deer gotten worse?
Hum Actually, I fixed that problem before we got here.
‘Hum actually’ what are you a nerd?
Uh fuck you! are you on your period again? <--Sexist ass (IM NOT SEXIST >:( )
Wait Papito, what do you mean you fixed your problem?
You know the file I made you delete? Ya
So that’s what you gays were doing (Your gay too)
Those were my feeling towards Alastor ♡ (Finally)
This calls for a celebration (absolutely)
This means they're gone gone right?
Yes it means they're gone now what are you deaf?

I am not eliterate!!
Sure you aren't baby
Totally babes
I don't think we need to through a whole celebration over this
YES WE DO!! >w<
We totally have to
End of Note
When they used out all of the space on the paper Vox crumpled it up and tossed it in a mini bin behind him. Luckily for him and the other vees the meeting was over, they all got up and left as quickly as they came.
“What restaurant are we hitting up first?” Valentino asked, his arm hooked around Vox’s.
“Wob Donadles!” The Tv demon suggested.
“NO!!” The two vees shouted at him as they entered the elevator.
“Assholes” Vox rolls his eyes and the door the elevator starts to close but before it can close fully the end of a caine stops it, the doors open back up and the three are met with the Radio demon.
“Space for one more?” He tilts his head.
“Were full-” Before Valentino could finish Alastor walked into the elevator anyways “-ed…” His face scrunches up and he moves closer to Vox.
All three of them sighed as the elevator doors closed.
The elevator ride was quiet and Vox hates the quiet so he continues the conversation he and the others were having before “Soo what about Fiery Frills instead?”
Velvette looks up the place, showing it on a hologram screen “Oh this place.”
Valentino bends down to look at the screen, squinting his eyes “When did this place open up?”
“Two days ago I believe,” Vox answered, “Do you guys want to go?”
“I mean I am in the mood to try something new” The moth stands back wrapping both of his hands around Vox’s neck.
Velvette nods, “It might be perfect for a celebration, I’ll get their menu.”
Alastor listens to them silently, trying to decide if he should speak or not, “Not to be intrusive but what exactly are you celebrating?”
“Nothing that concerns you Alastor” Vox looks him up and down, simply unimpressed by the same outfit he wears everyday, “It's a private thing between business partners.”
The Radio demon just hums at his response, “Since when have you ever been private?” His grin widens, trying to stir up a fight between him and Vox like always but instead of trying to push back, Vox just rolls his eyes and continues talking to Velvette and Valentino.
Alastor’s grin strains and the elevator doors open, the vees walk out and head to their limo. Alastor watches them leave, his gaze specifically on Vox. What happened just now was extremely weird, Vox passing up a chance to fight with him? Now that was certainly something, not to mention he barely even looked in Alastor’s direction once during the meeting.
Alastor’s eye twitches at the thoughts swirling in his head and he dissolves into the shadows.
