{CHAPTER 16: (Ep 2) Well dear, I think we can both agree. Vox sucks}

Y/n POV

I sat on the couch next to Angel as we watched Charlie pace back and forth about the new date with Vaggie. I began to speak up, Vaggie intervened telling Charlie "Yes, we will" causing her to stop and me to sit back and smile at the couple. 

Angel piped up about how there wasn't a silver lining to this, looking down at his phone. I looked to him worriedly and placed a hand on his shoulder, earning a soft smile from the spider demon before he turned back to Charlie and showed her his phone which had a video of the doomsday district and its chaos. 

"Er, what's a donkey show," the princess asked. Angel freaked and turned his phone back toward him, enabling me to see some of Valentino's horrible texts. I balled my fists and looked away as I took some deep breaths. 

Angel explained that everyone was freaking out, giving Vaggie an idea "Yeah, that's true. Sinners are desperate. Maybe desperate enough to try anything to escape the extermination" she pondered looking to Charlie. 

She gasped in excitement and decided to go and recruit more sinners for the hotel. "Cute idea and all, but you really gonna go out in all this," Angel asked, holding his phone up yet again. "Well it's not like people are just gonna show up on our doorstep" Charlie retorted. 

I covered my ears and braced for impact, remembering that this was when Sir Pentious destroyed the wall looking for Alastor. Just as I predicted, there was a sudden explosion followed by "SHOW YOURSELF ALASTOR."

 I walked outside as Alastor asked Pentious who he was. I hummed in amusement and looked to Alastor as he teleported down through his shadow, Pentious introducing himself in the background. "We overlords can never seem to catch a break can we?" Alastor chuckled making eye contact with me as he responded "No we can't." 

Suddenly Nifty appeared fawning over the serpent as Alastor insisted he had never heard of the man. Pentious began to list all the times they had fought (I had been present for a few of those) as Alastor looked at him absolutely clueless. I decided to steal Alastor's line, because why not 

"Well, you must've been really bad at this" I smirked, watching as the serpent blushed slightly. Pentious began to go on about how he wished for the Vees to acknowledge him. Nifty asked who they were. "Oh, nobody important" me and Alastor said at the same time (more of a groan for me though).

[Obviously, we don't know what happened between that and Valentino looking through the camera drone sooo, timeskip]

I stood next to Alastor as he beat Pentious, laughing along with him. I began to laugh even harder when Pentious stole that part of his coat. As Alastor walked away to visit the tailor, Vaggie and Angel told him that we needed a wall. 

He summoned some sinners to help as he left. The rest of them walked inside after a while, I, however, stayed, staring after him. Putting a hand over my heart I mouthed 'I love you' after him before walking inside and up to my room.

Third POV

As y/n mouthed those three little words, she forgot about the drone, however. Sooo, Vox and Valentino saw it, smirking at each other as they began to plan.

[small timeskip]

Y/n and Angel sat in the living room (a/n lobby?), him on his phone, y/n reading her book on the adjacent couch, Snow and Nightmare lying on her. Vaggie and Charlie walked in with matching defeated looks on their faces.

 They told them how they had been very unsuccessful in the recruitment before there was a knock on the door. Y/n, knowing who it was and very invested in her book, didn't bat an eye as Vaggie went to answer the door, Charlie and Angel following after her. 

Y/n could hear what was happening but it helped that she already knew as well. As Charlie led Pentious into the hotel, y/n began to stand and walk toward the stairs knowing that's where Alastor would be. Charlie began to give Pentious the tour. 

This led to Vaggie listing off how Angel harmed the hotel rather than helping. Y/n felt her heart drop for the spider as Charlie led Pentious over to the two overlords who were now standing at the bottom of them. Alastor looked at the serpent with boredom as Charlie "introduced" them as Pentious being the new guest. 

Alastor was very obviously not happy with him though, so y/n put her hand on his forearm causing his eyes to widen slightly as he looked back at her. Charlie got Pentious to apologize. He gave the piece of coat he stole back to the deer man who in turn burned it. 

Y/n chuckled at this and walked up to her room to return her book. As she turned around and began to walk back downstairs Alastor appeared in front of her. She jumped and gazed up at the man. "Um. Did you need something Al" she asked. He said nothing and left to his room. Y/n tilted her head in confusion before shrugging it off and continuing back downstairs.

[another timeskip, I'm sorry]

Y/n POV

I sat on the floor next to Alastor who was on the couch. Angel read from the script. I was suppressing laughter the entire time. Once it was over Charlie began praising Pentious. I looked to Angel as his face contorted in sadness before snapping "I'm going to bed" and ascending the stairs.

 I ran after him feeling someone's eyes following me but not caring. I arrived at his room and stood catching my breath before knocking. I heard a faint "Go the hell away" before knocking again. 

Stomping could be heard as he made his way toward the door before throwing it open "I SAID GO THE HELL AWA- y/n. What are you doin here?" I looked at him for a moment before pulling him into a bear hug. "I could tell you've needed this. For a long time," I said.

I felt something wet fall into my shoulder. Looking up I saw him crying before he pulled away and slammed the door. 'Well so much for that' I thought as I walked back to my room. 'At least I got to try to comfort him like I wanted.'

Third POV

After Angel slammed the door on y/n he sunk to the ground in tears. He was convinced he didn't deserve her kindness. Or anyone's for that matter. He stood up and walked down to grab some alcohol. As he started back toward his room he saw something. Curious, he followed it. Only to find Pentious hiding a camera. He approached him and they started fighting. Then Vaggie and Charlie came in and found the two.

Alastor POV

I was planning on asking y/n to stay with me for the night. But I couldn't for some reason. So I walked away and to my room. After a while, I went back down to watch the little skit. Y/n sat next to me on the floor. After they were done she ran after Angel. I stared after her as my heart sank. I placed a hand on my chest confused about these feelings yet again.

[timeskip]

I teleported down to the library and picked up the discarded watch "You'll have to try harder than that ol' pal" I said into it before smashing it. "Alastor? What's coming on?" I turned around to see y/n in a tight red turtle neck and some black shorts, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. 

I felt my eyes widen seeing her in my signature colors. I shook my head and composed myself before answering "Oh nothing dear, simply dealing with the trash." A confused look spread across her face, her beautiful mismatched eyes looking at me, and me only.

 She realized what I meant soon after "OH. Vox, got it. I don't like him" she deadpanned. I smiled at her.

"Well dear, I think we can both agree. Vox sucks"
