Alastor's Vs

Chapter 13

Vox's POV

Alastor lays asleep on my chest. I continue to scratch his head and scroll on Sinstagram. Al has been sleeping a lot lately. Is it something about being human? I still need to figure out how to get him back to the Radio Demon. How am I going to do that? If I knew the cause, it would be easier to find a solution, but I don't.

What if he wants to stay a human? I doubt it. He likes to be tough and scary. Down here, humans are most definitely not scary. Alastor just got lucky with the dark magic shit.

Suddenly I get a text message from an unknown number. Did Velvette leak my number? I didn't do anything towards her this time. She needs to stop leaking my information. Quite annoying.

I click on it and read it.

Unknown: Aren't you supposed to be experimenting with the human to find a cure rather than trying to make him fall for you?

Only the overlords and Lucifer know that. Which one is toying with me? Carmilla? She would since I'm supposed to be doing the experiments. Zestial is too old. Rosie cares for Alastor and I doubt she even wants experiments done on him.

Me: Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do??

Unknown: You're an insignificant little overlord. Watch what you say to the King of Hell.

Me: What do you want?

Lucifer: Let's make a deal.

Me: You're starting to sound like Alastor.

Lucifer: Shut up.

Lucifer: I don't spill your little secret about you three and I get Alastor in return to find a cure for this phenomenon, since you can't do it yourself.

I bite my lip. Alastor doesn't want our...whatever we have going out to the public yet. But I don't want to give him away and be tortured. Decisions. Decisions.

Wait, is Lucifer spying on us? Kind of gay if you ask me. A guy spying on a couple dudes living together. I know your wife left you but you don't need to be weird and stalk us.

Me: Do I have time to think?

Lucifer: I'll give you until the end of this week.

That's about 4 days. Four days to come up with a decision. I need to have a conversation with Val and Al about this, of course. I set my phone down. What am I going to do? I'll figure something out.

Valentino walks in and looks at us with a smile. He gently picks up Alastor and holds him against his chest.

"Voxy, you look stressed. What's wrong?" Val asks. I stand up.

"Lucifer wants Alastor. Since I haven't been working on the cure to change him back. But if I don't give him back, he'll tell all of Hell about this thing we have between us three. And Alastor likes to keep things secret and share them when he's ready. I have four days to come up with a decision," I explain. Valentino thinks for a moment. "We need to all talk, including Velvette."

Valentino wakes up Alastor and we all sit in the meeting room. Alastor sits on Valentino's lap instead of a chair. I explain to the other two about my "interaction" with the King and his wants. Alastor holds Val's larger hand with his two little human hands. Velvette has been real quiet.

"What do we have? Like...what is this thing going on between us?" Al asks.

"Do you have any feelings for Val and I?" I ask.

"I do, but I'm not quite sure I fully understand them. Being new to me and all. Are we dating?" He tilts his head. God, he looks so fucking cute right now. His fluffy hair and gold-rimmed little glasses sitting loosely on his nose. 

"We don't have to put labels on it, amorcito," Val says.

"What if we get this out to the public before Lucifer does?"

"Do you want to?" I ask.

"No. But I'd much rather have it be public than be with Lucifer until this is fixed."

"We're not making it public until you're comfortable with it, darling~," Valentino says. "We'll figure out a way where we don't have to do any part of the King's deal."

"Well, this phenomenon hasn't happened until I started selling that drug Valentino borrowed. If that helps," Velvette says as she continues to scroll on her phone. We all stare at her. Is that drug really the cause of this? "I thought it was just a coincidence, that's why I didn't say anything."

"Coincidence? Vel, I think you solved our problem!" I ran out of the meeting room, urging Val and Al to follow me. I first "borrow" a dose of Velvette's drug, then rush us three into the elevator. Valentino holds Alastor, who seems comfy enough being held. I think he likes being held. Must have gotten used to it.

The elevator goes down, past the lobby, and into the basement. It opens up to a laboratory. A little fish demon runs around, doing experiments.

"Baxter, pal, good to see you. Now, would you mind doing a little favor for me?" I ask the little fish.

"Yes yes yes. What would that be, Sir?" Baxter asks.

"I'm going to leave one of my partners down here with you with this." I hold up Vel's drug. "Which I think is the reason he has become human again. I want you to find a way to turn him back to the deer demon he once was."

"On it, Sir." Val sets down Alastor, who's not looking too excited to be left down here. I give Baxter the drug and he runs off to examine it.

"You're going to leave me here, alone? For how long?" He asks. Fuck he is so cute when he looks up at me like that. I want to keep him human forever. But I want his ears and little tail back. I miss those a lot.

"Just until we can find an answer. Val can stay down here with you, if you want."

"I would like that." Val smiles as he holds Alastor close. I leave the two down here with the scientist. I hope four days is enough time.
