16 - Important

He had been so cruel, so rude, so… so much like them.

Not able to get any sleep I crawled in my bed, changing position every few minutes. That was Vox, was it Vox tho? He’s never been this aggressive or anything with me or when I was around, I almost couldn’t recognize him.
Tears threatened to fall from my golden eyes and my red pupils got wider as I allowed the tears to wet my cheeks. I clenched my hands into fists and grabbed the first thing I could and threw it against the wall.

It happened to be my phone.

Worried, I got up and ran to see the damage. The screen was cracked, but I still tried to turn it on. It did.
The stupid wallpaper of me sleeping and half of Vox’s screen made me cry even more. There were like a hundred messages from him but I ignored them all… he was so careful with me.

Then I got it.
I wasn’t his friend, I was just his tool, I was a source of money so he had to not let me slip from his grasp.
Obviously, use me, that’s what he’s doing. Like everyone else.

I kept crying in my room for what felt like an eternity, and then Alastor knocked on the door.
I allowed him to get in and he saw the pitiful state I was in, crying in my bed, my sounds and whimpers muffled in the pillow I was pressing against my face.

The Radio Demon stayed there, not moving. He unlocked himself and walked up to my bed, sitting there, probably uncomfortable.

Venom🦂: “You don't need to comfort me.” Sniff “I'm fine!”

He saw right through it, laughing slightly.

Alastor📻: “You seem to be in a… precarious situation, my darling. Did Vox upset you, perhaps?”

His radio voice got more blaring and old-radio-like, much more croaky than before.
I weakly nodded, thinking he was gonna brush it off. He didn't.

He literally grabbed my hands and dragged me up on my legs, looking in my eyes with that creepy, contorted smile.

Alastor📻: “You are much stronger than him, you don't need to be upset just because he made you upset.”

Venom🦂: “...you sure?”

Alastor📻: “Darling he is a television, he has no heart.”

Venom🦂: “...I have no heart either? I kill, I enjoy doing it, I eat human or demonic flesh…”

Alastor📻: “And? That's not the point, you are a strong creature, nice and caring, even if I can't understand why you had such emotions and feelings toward that obnoxious idiot, you are such a great Demon, Darling!”

He patted me on the head, fixing my messy hair. Letting my instincts go I hugged him tightly, seconds later I realized what I was doing and on the edge of letting him go he placed his hand on my head again, returning the hug in his own way.
At that moment I felt like I was important, really important.
