[: MINE :] VALENTINO X READER

[: CHAPTER 7 :]

The object was familiar, it had the same damaged whirring noise.

"Is this the..."

"The VoxTek voyerscope? Yeah."

They turned around to see Vox's smug grin glowing through his screen.
"I knew you'd turn up sometime." He grinned, walking towards them.
"Cut the shit Vox, what do you want with me."
"I need info."
Y/n raised their eyebrow. "Excuse me?"
"You heard me dear."
"Well you can't just tell me you need info then not disclose the information you want the things of."

Vox's grin was still displaying on his screen as he circled them. He leaned in close. "Alastor."

Y/n rolled their eyes. "You're still on the Alastor thing? Jeez just grow up Vox."

Y/n and Vox had some... past together. Believe it or not, Y/n used to be an overlord. Pretty powerful too. It was one day that Alastor had arrived. One by one, a new scream on his radio channel came closer and closer, threatening Y/n's power.

Y/n's power had already driven them crazy before, and they weren't gonna lie, it didn't feel good. It felt like a massive hangover. So before Alastor managed to hunt them down, they gave back the souls to who they really belonged to. Most souls were eternally grateful to Y/n, some weren't.

Alastor and Y/n had bumped into eachother when Alastor was on his way to an overlord meeting. Y/n could perfectly remember the first time they met. Alastor had a long red coat, longer than it is now. His hair was short and styled, his small black horns polished and shiny. He actually used to have clean white teeth before he joined Cannibal Town. Alastor was rather taller than Y/n. Alastor looked down at them, the large signature smile across his face. "Y/n is it?" He said, adjusting his monocle and leaning into their face. Y/n's eyes lit up.

Y/n was honoured to meet Alastor. Although his work was threatening their very existence, they couldn't help but smile in awe of his cleverness. "Thank you for getting out of my way." He said as he walked around them, leaving them out in the street. "Wait!- Alasto-" As young Y/n tried to chase him, they were stopped when a body stood in front of them. "He doesn't want to speak to lowlife like you."

This was Y/n and Vox's first encounter. "Well excuse me? The fuck do you think you're talking to?" Y/n said, looking up at Vox's box head.

"One of those kinds of FREAKS that drool all over Alastor."
Y/n had raised their eyebrow in disgust.

Anyway, the more Y/n and Vox talked, the more they actually had in common, like their love for tv shows. However Vox's thirst for power also drove him mad.

He's not the Vox he was before. Y/n missed the helpful and honest guy that Vox used to be. Y/n missed Vox.

"Grow up? Grow Up?! I'll have you know I'm one of the most powerful men in Hell. And what are you? Some part of the slums who just so happened to be dumb enough to sell your soul." He grins, leaning into their face again and booping their nose.

"I know what I'm doing Vox."
"You really think that?"
"I KNOW that."

Y/n rolls their eyes. "Whatever Vox. I don't have time for your bullshit, now get out." They say, pointing towards the door.

Vox shrugs and leaves. "Your loss, but like it or not I'll get that information out of you."

Y/n was left alone in the room, thankfully. Why would Vox need information on Alastor? They needed to warn him! No. Alastor didn't care about them either. No one in that damn hotel did. They all wanted them out. Except maybe Pentious. But Pentious still was suspicious.

Y/n fell back onto the bed. It was actually very comfy. Finally, some peace where you can't hear the sirens or snoring. Just the noise of the static in the air. The occasional whir and electric shock noises would occur, to be fair Vox is too lazy to walk anywhere so he just zips about. A small knock on the door interrupted Y/n's peace. Can't they get ANY quiet in Hell?

Opening the door, it was the maid from earlier. "Oh. Hi, Kitty?" Kitty nodded and held her hand out for them to take it. Y/n placed their hand in Kitty's and she smiled. Kitty seemed sweet and gentle. Y/n liked her immediately. Kitty began to take them into the corridor. "Oh I- Kitty?- Where are we going?"

Kitty just looked up at them, then continued walking. The halls of the building were covered. Posters and banners painted the walls, all in clean order. The floor was a pale golden color, it was all tiled and polished. The walls were a rich burgundy, the lights illuminating it. The Vees must be incredibly rich and powerful to make a building in Hell look this good and fancy.

As the two of them get to the end of the hallway, Kitty stands before the golden automatic door, watching it open. As the door was opening, it revealed a beautiful lounge. Red velvet sofas dotted the area, one surrounding by pink clouds of smoke.

"Fucking finally!" Valentino said, sitting up and emerging through the pink smoke. "Kitty, a drink!" Y/n looked down at Kitty, who stumbled a bit and immediately obeyed him.

"Here you are my darling Y/n!" Valentino grins, his golden tooth shining. Y/n hesitantly steps toward him. They get closer to him to the point they're stood in front of him.

"Take a seat amorcito! I don't bite... sometimes." He chuckles. Y/n does as he says, sitting beside him.

"I've been meaning to tell you something." He says, trailing a finger on their chin.
