I handed him the outfit; Vox's eyes widened in horror, his expression a mix of disbelief and dismay. "You can't be serious" he protested, holding up a little black dress, fishnets and fluffy gold and white cropped coat at arm's length as if they might bite him. I couldn't contain my laughter at his reaction, finding his discomfort utterly amusing. "Oh, but I am" I replied with a mischievous twinkle in my eye. "And you promised to play along, remember?".
He sighed in defeat, realizing there was no way out of this predicament. "I swear, you have a wicked sense of humour", he muttered under his breath as he reluctantly began to put on the outlandish ensemble. As he struggled into the dress and tights, I couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. "You know, Vox, I think gold and white might just be your colours" I teased, barely able to contain my amusement. He shot me a withering glare as he adjusted the coat around his shoulders, clearly unamused by my jest. "Remind me to never make a bet with you again" he grumbled, though there was a hint of amusement in his voice. I simply grinned in response, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle. After all, it wasn't every day I got to see the Tv demon decked out in fishnets and a fluffy coat.

Amidst his evident mortification, I couldn't contain the laughter bubbling up within me. It erupted from my chest, uncontrollable and infectious, echoing through the room like a chorus of mirthful bells. Gasping for breath between fits of giggles, I clutched my stomach, feeling the ache from laughing so hard. "Oh, Vox, you look positively ravishing!", I managed to choke out between peals of laughter, my words punctuated by snorts and snickers. "I never knew you had such a flair for fashion!". His expression darkened even further at my teasing, his embarrassment palpable. "This is humiliating", he muttered, his voice a mixture of resignation and indignation as he tugged uncomfortably at the hem of the dress. I struggled to compose myself long enough to respond, wiping tears of mirth from my eyes as I attempted to stifle my laughter. "Come on, Vox, don't be such a spoilsport" I chided gently, though the corners of my lips twitched with suppressed amusement. "You're giving Valentino a run for his money in that outfit!". His scowl deepened at my jest, but I could see the faintest glimmer of amusement in his eyes, betraying his attempts to maintain an air of dignity amidst the absurdity of the situation. "I'll have you know, this is a one-time occurrence" he declared firmly, though there was a flicker of amusement in his tone. "Never again". I grinned mischievously, unable to resist one final jab. "Oh, don't worry, Vox" I replied with a playful wink. "Your secret's safe with me... and Velvette... and maybe a few select demons I might tell along the way".

As I reached for my phone, Vox's warning pierced through the air, a clear threat laced with a hint of playful menace. "Touch that phone, and you'll regret it", he growled, his eyes narrowing in mock severity. Rolling my eyes in exaggerated exasperation, I withdrew my hand from my pocket, conceding defeat with an exaggerated sigh. "Fine, fine, no pictures", I relented, though a mischievous twinkle danced in my eyes as I shot him a teasing grin. His expression softened slightly at my compliance, though a lingering hint of defiance remained as he surveyed his appearance in the mirror. "You're lucky I'm allowing this at all", he grumbled halfheartedly, though the ghost of a smirk tugged at the corners of his lips. Unable to resist the opportunity to further stoke his embarrassment, I couldn't help but offer a compliment, albeit laced with a generous dose of teasing. "You know, that outfit really suits you"" I remarked, unable to suppress a smirk. "Brings out the curves in all the right places". A playful glint danced in his eyes as he shot me a pointed look, his lips twitching with restrained amusement. "You're such a bitch sometimes" he retorted, though there was a fondness underlying his words as he reached out to flick my forehead.

With a playful gleam in his eyes, Vox flicked my forehead in a swift, retaliatory motion, eliciting a yelp of protest from me. "Don't call me a bitch" I scolded, though the laughter in my voice betrayed any hint of true annoyance. His lips curled into a smirk as he challenged me with a mockingly defiant tone. "And what are you going to do about it?". Without missing a beat, I lunged forward, catching him off guard as I tackled him onto the bed with a triumphant laugh. He landed with a soft thud, his surprise quickly giving way to playful amusement as I straddled him, pinning him down beneath me. "You asked for it" I teased, grinning down at him as I held him firmly in place.
