Love Between Two Overlords - VoxVal fanfic

Chapter 6

⚠️TW: blood, death, violence, gore

Vox's POV:

Who does this guy think he is, judging my sex life. And why did he had to get so close? Why does he have to be so touchy all the time? And what's with calling me 'Voxxy'?!?!

I was mentally panicking, what the hell was that? Why do I fucking feel my heart beating?!?!

I was so caught of guard that my circuits practically fried on the spot. A chance that it didn't happened, I wouldn't have like for all pentagram city to lost its electricity, and for Valentino to know that he affected me.

But right now, we were simply enjoying our food. The tension in the room calmed down, even though it came mostly from me in the first place. I can't believe how calm he always seems to be, if I remember correctly, I heard some of my workers describing him as an impatient guy with anger issues. That's totally not what I was getting.

I stared at my food, deep in thoughts. "You want some wine?" This surprised me, I quickly look up to see Valentino offering the bottle of red wine. "No thank you" It's rare that I'm polite but there wasn't any need to be rude too. "Don't stand alcohol that much?" He said. "Well you know it" There wasn't any reason I should lie, he saw me drunk already.

The rest of the dinner went without trouble, I got quite comfortable talking with him. We talked about lots of things, I told him about Vark, my shark. There was some more pleasant moments where we both laughed at how some of our workers could mess things up in the most idiotic ways possible.

I was surprised by how much I started appreciating spending time with him. These past few weeks or month have mostly been work and work and again... work. Never the time to catch a break, but now I could simply enjoy myself. I think I should follow his advice and took time for myself.

We finished our food, which was delicious, it is definitely a place I'll come back to. We both stood up and Valentino, after paying for the whole dinner, he escorted me to the door. What's with him and being a fucking gentleman? Why does he have to try and act so charismatically with me?... 'cause it's fucking working.

We started heading out of the exit until "BOOM!!!! BANG!!!! BOOM!!!!!" and "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" yeah screams and explosions... just what I needed right now.

Suddenly an explosion hit near us making half of the building to get destroyed. Outside, there was a huge tank with a sinner on top controlling it. He was shooting from everywhere, destroying edifices, killing many other demons. It was a real mayhem.

"Let's leave before he notice us" Valentino whispered, which caught me even more off guard, with his hand on my shoulder and his head just next to mine. I could practically feel his breath on my screen, just like the previous situation. Damn, why does he always get me by surprise?!?!

"Yeah, let's go" I said, trying not to sound affected. We tried to walk away but got interrupted by an explosion just in front of us. The only thing I did was letting out a long  loud and discouraged sigh. The guy HAD to see us.

"Well, well, look who it is! Two overlords! It must be my lucky day! Prepare to face your doom!..." the demon didn't stop talking, but at this point I was way too annoyed to even acknowledge it.

Arrogant voice, lame speeches, boring dialogues, this motherfucker was really a typical wannabe overlord and he really chose the 'best' moment to strike.

Seriously, can't I just finish this date with Val without any complications.

"Alright, let's get this over with" exclaimed Val, while he pushed me to the side and started walking towards the sinner.
