A few weeks have passed since Shoto has been in Vox's home.
Vox managed to stay alive, Shoto didn't try to kill him.
But the first week was Shoto trying to escape or kill him.

"Why are you keeping me here?" Shoto said while munching on his food.
"With that cute face of yours, I'd surely make you mine" Vox answered, smiling. Shoto didn't like his answer, he doesn't really like flattery.

After they've finished eating, Shoto went and clean the dishes,
Vox came from behind and put his hands on Shoto's waist.
"Vox, I'm cleaning the dishes" Shoto said, with a tone of being irritated.
"And? I can't hold my puppy?" He said while putting his chin on Shoto's shoulder. Shoto sighed and let him be.

Vox started peppering kisses on his neck and shoulder, Shoto was flustered, stuttering while telling Vox to stop.
"V-vox stop that" Shoto can feel his cheeks burning
(I know it is escalating quickly😭)
"M-mnh..." Escaped from Shoto's lips, quickly covering his mouth.
Vox chuckled, "You're so sensitive.."
He kissed Shoto's jaw making his way up to his cheeks, turning him around to face him.
"You're so cute.." Vox was yet again,peppering kisses from Shoto's shoulders to his cheek.

"My lord..?" A servant called, Vox turned to the servant and looked at Shoto.
"I'll be back puppy" Kissing his cheek then walked to the servant.

Few hours later they were watching a movie, Vox behind cuddling Shoto.
"Your hair is so soft" Vox said while petting his head.
Shoto noticed wherever he goes Vox would always be there, if he goes to another place he'd always follow him around and hold him.
"I will not hesitate to cut your hands off" Shoto mumbled quietly.
"What was that, Darling?" Vox heard Shoto talk, just that he didn't understand.
"It's nothing" Shoto answered, Vox let it slide and continued petting his hair.

The entire day was Vox being clingy and Shoto being irritated.
It was night, Shoto was tired, Vox was whispering sweet nothings and nibbling on his ear.
"I'm tired" Shoto said.
"Ah, sorry Darling, I didn't know it was late" Still nibbling on Shoto's ear.
"Very well, let's get to bed now, shall we?" Vox stood up holding his hand out for Shoto to grab, but he declined.
Vox then led Shoto to the bedroom, as soon as he locked the door he pinned Shoto to the wall.
"What the fuck?" Shoto wasn't in the mood.
"I can't give you kisses?" Vox teased.
"Shut the fuck up" Shoto pushed him,
"I don't want anything to do with you. Just leave me alone." Shoto walked away but Vox grabbed his arm.
"Do you really think I'll leave you alone?" He traced his fingers all over Shoto's chest.
"LET GO DAMMIT!!" Shoto shouted.
"I just want to spend a day without you CLINGING ON ME!" His throat hurt because of shouting too much.
Vox didn't care and still insisted on taking care and loving him, obviously the opposite of what Shoto wanted.
"I just want to rest, Vox" Shoto got out of Vox's grip and started to walked over to the bed.
"If you're hoping to get anything from me then give up" With that said, Shoto layed down and closed his eyes starting to fall asleep.
Vox only stood, frozed.
Then after a good three minutes he sighed, he didn't want to upset Shoto any further so he left the room, to go sleep in a seperate bedroom.

Morning came, Shoto woke up.
He was relieved he didn't see Vox first thing in the morning.
He went to the kitchen, no sight of Vox.
Living room, Not there.
Hallway, Not there.
Bedrooms, Not there.
Upstairs, still not there
Shoto looked everywhere, but not a single sign of Vox.
He only saw the servants and maids there.

'Where is Vox?' he thought, he then thought to ask one of the servants.
"Excuse me?" Asking politely.
"Yes?" The servant replied.
"Have you perhaps seen Vox?" Shoto asked.
The servant hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
"N-no sir, I have not"
"Oh, okay sorry for bothering you"
The servant then left.
"Where is that bastard..?" It was unusual for Vox to leave without saying a word, everytime he's going to leave he'll either wait for Shoto to wake up then tell him.
He decided to wait for Vox to come home.

3 hours, Not home yet.
5 hours, is he here? Nope.
'It's night, where the fuck is that demon?' Shoto thought,
'Is he lost?'
'Did he get caught by another demon slayer?'
'What happened to him?'
'Did he get kidnapped?'
'Should I worry or be relieved?'
'Is this my chance to escape or-'
His overthinking thoughts were cut off by a door opening.
The person standing was-
"Vox!" Shoto stood up and went for a hug.
"Did you miss me that much?" The demon teased.
"Wh-" Shoto then realized--or so he thought.
"You bastard!" Shoto shouted at the taller man.
"You took that long just to make me worry!?"
"No, I had important buisness" Vox answered.
"Huh?" Shoto was dumbfounded.
"B-but why didn't you say anything before leaving!?"
"I didn't want to upset you any further, so I left, isn't that what you wanted?" Tilting Shoto's chin.
"Ugh.." Shoto looked away, wasn't this what he really wanted? Or he really doesn't want the demon to leave him?
Even Shoto was confused on what he feels about the demon.
"Well, I'll cook, you're surely starving aren't you?" Vox asked, letting go of Shoto and walking away.
Shoto grabbed Vox's arm.
"I-i'll cook"
"No need, Darling"
"I insist~" Shoto leaned closer.
"..." Vox's eyes darting everywhere but Shoto.
"Hey, you okay..?" Shoto caressed Vox's cheek.
"I-.." He calmed down and sighed.
"F-fine you can cook.." Looking away.
Shoto beamed and pecked the demon's cheek
"Thank you!" Shoto ran to the kitchen to get ready to cook.
Vox stood there frozen and flustered.
'H-he.. kissed my cheek..!'
