'Oh fuck, what am I doing with my life..' Vox questioned himself. He was supposed to be fighting with this man right now, but he wasn't. The man in question was a red deer overlord. They hadn't even finished their fight, he heard Alastor start crying and stopped. When the deer was wounded, it triggered his little mindset involuntarily. This type of thing didn't usually happen, so you could imagine Vox's shock when he saw it for the first time.
Vox was currently in his room with Alastor in the vees building, he couldn't fight a child after all. Vox didn't really know how to take care of a kid, what was he supposed to do? He looked Alastor up and down and eyeing his wound, he then decided to try and treat them. He went to turn around but was stopped by a gentle grip around his wrist. The buck looked up at him with big eyes, "please don't go.." He begged the tv man. Vox turned to him, not exactly knowing how to feel, and not expecting this. "Uh.." He bent down to Alastors level and patted his head. "Its alright little one.. I'm gonna go get something to bandage your wound. Can you stay here for me?" He asked politely, face blank and hard to read.
Alastor looked down a bit and nodded, watching Vox leave. Vox left to search cabinets for the first aid kit in the kitchen, and went back up to his room once achieved. Upon opening the door, he was met with a crawling Alastor about to attempt to open it. He immediately slammed the door shut and got to Alastors level again, picking him up. "No no, you're gonna hurt yourself." He tried to warn him, setting him back down on the bed. He was also halfly worried about Valentino, he knew to keep him away from the moth, he also knew Alastor being near him right now wasn't the safest.
Vox tried his best to clean and bandage the wound he'd left on him. Getting Alastors shirt off was a struggle, but he was able to somehow. When he was done, Alastor looked up at him. "All better?" Vox questioned him, "mhmn! No more boo boo!" He said cheerfully remaining to smile at Vox. Vox started putting his top back on him, now just looking at the deer. What was he supposed to do? He never took care of a child before..
Then Alastor lifted his hands up, seemingly trying to touch Vox's face. "Whaaat are you doing kid?" Vox asked him, pulling back slightly. "Bright.. Shiny.." Vox looked at the buck and sighed face palming. "Ok.. How old are you kid?." Alastor took a moment, almost as if he was either thinking or processing the words spoken to him. "Five." He answered bluntly.
Vox seemingly nodded his head and went to sit next to him, he lifted an arm but stopped upon debating it. "Eh.. Are you ok with touch right now?" Alastor nodded and that was all the confirmation he needed. He wrapped an arm around the kid, holding him close. Alastor looked up and was about to say something before yawning. Vox looked at him, curious and then realized that the poor deer was probably sleepy, especially after todays events. "You tired?" He asked him. Alastor slowly nodded and tried to continue his sentance, "can I cuddle you? Im sleepy.." Vox took a moment, would Alastor kill him for this in the morning? He debated a bit before slowly nodding his head, "Sure kid.. Whatever helps you sleep.." He replied petting Alastors head gently.

Vox got the two of them cuddled up under the covers, lights off. He pet Alastor as he cuddled him, trying to help the kid sleep. After a few moments, he suddenly heard soft snoring and felt Alastors breathing slow down a bit. He looked down to be met with a sleeping Alastor, Vox began to smile softly. How did he not find this side of him out sooner? This kid is adorable. Vox just hoped Alastor wouldn't absolutely murder him when he wakes up, but that was for future Vox to deal with as he slowly fell asleep with the child in his arms.
