Vox stared at the open fridge tubs and tubs of shark meat where still being stored on the shelfs ready to be prepared for another meal. He felt so incredibly numb, his heart ached  Vida was the youngest of his shark collection, she'd taken a few weeks to adjust to living with the bigger sharks but she made her presence known, after feeding time she would always linger near the top so Vox could stroke her head, give her a few extra treats… maybe that's why she was the easiest to catch, she'd been waiting for Vox. Vida had been a gift from Velvette after her first successful fashion show a thankyou for believing In her despite not understanding the world she worked in.

To anyone observing from the outside they assumed Vox and Valentino Had taken Velvette in and helped make her the young Overlord she was today but the truth was she would of succeeded without them, it might have Taken longer but Vox could see the same passion and strive to be the best In her that he once had.

The same enthusiasm that had led Alastor to Vox in the first place. The difference between them… when Velvette introduced Vox to all things modern he embraced them, learned and improved his work to keep up. He'd never want to change anything about Velvette; it was what made her the great overlord she is, he didn't control her; they were equals. Alastor However he hated anything new Vox would try and show him often putting him down and trying to stir him back to the classics, back to Alastor.

Alastor had always liked when Vox needed him, relied on him and in the beginning Vox did need him just like how Velvette had needed Vox. The big difference Vox was happy to let Velvette do her own thing and branch out and stand on her own two feet, But when Vox tried to do the same with Alastor that's when their big fight had started.

It Had been a few weeks since the incident In his living room, despite trying Vox couldn't Get in touch with Alastor so here he was at a bar getting drunk with Valentino. They Were at a small joint tucked away in a corner booth away from everybody.

“Voxxy don't be so blue, it's his loss baby” Valentino's voice was like honey, soothing, sweet, addictive. His pink smoke surrounded the area where they sat.

“I just don't get it Val, years we've been friends and he Just ghosts me after one shitty drunk decision” Vox grumbled downing his drink quickly.

“Oh querido, some people just don't appreciate what they have or could have” Valentino smiled as one of his Lower arms slipped behind Vox's back, Hand slightly holding his waist encouraging the other to move closer. Vox jumped slightly at the contact, a purple blush danced briefly across his screen as he allowed himself to be tugged over to Valentinos side.

“val?” Vox questioned digital Eyes narrowing suspiciously.

“Voxxy we make a great team without that outdated prude, right papaíto he'd just hold us back, come here” Valentino used His arms to pull Vox onto his lap and bring the other into a kiss. Vox couldn't help but think the position was too similar to him and Alastor but this time he wasn't being pushed away, this time the other person wanted him. Valentino’s long tongue was curling around his own, Valentino moaned as he pulled Vox to Him and not away.

Alastor Had tasted wild, but fresh, like bitter coffee and the Rye he loved so much.Valentino tasted sweet, sickly sweet, addictive, Vox could kiss him all night it calmed his mind, stopped the racing thoughts going round and round.

“Ahem” an irritated voice announced itself next to them.

“The fuck do you wan…” Vox started breaking Away from Valentino only to turn to face the intruder. There stood Alastor hands behind his back holding his cane. He was Trying to look unbothered by the site before him but Vox could tell he was irritated, Vox could always tell. His smile was too tight, his ears twitched and his shoulders were slightly too tense.
