Alastor's Vs

Chapter 21

Vox's POV

I open the door and take off the blindfold. Alastor blinks a little before taking in the sight in front of him. I finished the room with a brick fireplace, a dark wood chair and table in front of it. A deep red rug under the chair and table. Shelves full of different books I know Alastor likes fill the walls beside the fireplace. I even installed an upstairs room for him where I built a radio station so he could just do them here. Covering the windows on the opposite wall of the door are dark red curtains of course. I got rid of the center light on the ceiling and have two lamps on the two nightstands on the sides of his bed.

I look at Alastor, whose eyes are scanning the room. His mouth forming an oval shape in what I hope is amazement and astonishment. I smile softly and slowly grab his waist, pulling him closer.

"So... Do you like it?" I ask.

"I...Vox...I love it! Thank you!" My smile widens. He jumps into my arms into a big hug.

"I'm glad you like it, baby. It took me quite a while to pull this all off. Just for you. We want you to stay here with us forever. And as much as I would like it, I don't want you just living in my room. You can have your own space to cool down or anything. Somewhere where you can be comfortable doing whatever." I give him a small and quick kiss. "There's a radio station up those stairs. Just for you." His eyes light up. I love it when they do that. It makes me want to always give him gifts all the time, spoil him. "Go check it out." He runs into the room and upstairs. I look back at Valentino, who I definitely remembered was here this whole time, and give him a smile.

"You're such a simp," Valentino says.

"Hey! I am not a simp. Just making sure our boyfriend is comfortable and happy. Like any good boyfriend would." I cross my arms and glare at him. "Wouldn't you want your boyfriends to be comfortable and happy?"

"Why wouldn't I? I can tell he loves it and is happy with his new room. I love you, baby." Val pulls the collar of my shirt into a kiss. Our tongues intertwine between our mouths. Valentino's lower arm lifts up my leg, grabbing my thigh. We were so deep into our makeout that the world around us fades away. Well...until I hear a certain radio voice.

"Vox I- oh dear Satan." I retract my face from Valentino's, our tongues slithering back into our mouths, and look over at Alastor. The poor deer is covering his eyes with his hands, only peaking a little by moving his finger. I chuckle.

"Aww is someone too innocent for a little makeout?" I coo.

"I am not innocent! It's just- the tongue... and all of the...twisting...ack." He shivers and I chuckle. Such an innocent deer. I smile at the man still covering most of his eyes. I want to keep him like this forever. It's absolutely adorable how he reacts to anything intimate Val and I do.

"Come here baby," Valentino orders softly, holding out his two upper arms. Val lets go of my thigh and I bring it back down. Alastor cautiously steps towards us, his arms falling to his sides. He stops in front of Val and I and looks up. Val wraps his arms around Alastor. "Such an innocent deer."

"Am not," Alastor says quietly. I chuckle again, giving Alastor a kiss on the forehead.

"Yes you are and it's adorable. I wouldn't change it for the world," I say. He narrows his eyes slightly. Alastor lays his head on Val's torso. "You love your gift?" Alastor nods, his smile widening. "Good. I'm glad you love it." I hear Alastor yawn and look at the time. Damn time flies by fast. It's already past 10 pm. I guess I got caught up with work. Valentino chuckles,picks up Al, and walks him to his new bed. Alastor falls asleep in Val's arms and is gently placed onto his bed. I walk up to Val and stand next to him, smiling down at the sleeping Radio Demon. I watch him grab a pillow and hug it.

I wake up, around maybe 2-3 am to the sound of footsteps. I don't move to find the source since Val is holding me down with all four of his arms behind me. I face the door and see Alastor sleepily walk in. I blink a couple of times and Alastor starts climbing in, getting comfortable against me. I wrap my arms around him and chuckle. He lays his head on my chest and falls asleep again. I smile and close my eyes. I love this man so much.

"Baby, wake up," I hear Valentino's voice, breaking me out of sleep. I turn on my screen, blinking my pixelated eyes. Alastor isn't in my arms anymore. I sit up and Val hands me a cup of coffee. "Afternoon, sleepyhead." I give him a look of confusion, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Afternoon? It's not the afternoon, is it?" I ask, taking the cup of coffee.

"It is. It's almost 1 pm, babe. I've never seen you sleep in this late. Even Alastor woke up before you." I take a sip from the hot caffeinated drink and hum. "Why was Alastor sleeping with us anyways and do you know when he came in here?"

"Around 2 or 3 am. Maybe. And...I don't know. He just came in here and I took him in my arms. Why didn't you ask him?" Where is Alastor? He's probably drinking his bloody coffee and reading a book on something gruesome while soft jazz is playing in the background. Or hunting poor sinners out of boredom. Normal Alastor things.

"Left my mind until I remembered you're still sleeping. Get up, lazybones. Carmilla called for a meeting in about an hour. Another planned one, meaning I have to be there too." Valentino crosses his upper arms, his lower arms on his hips. He rolls his eyes, making me chuckle. I take a long sip of my coffee before answering.

"Do you think it's about our throuple? I know at one point, someone will bring it up. Then that'll be the talk for a while. That'll be sooo fun to explain." Valentino thinks for a moment. I don't really want a whole meeting just to be about our relationship, nor do I want someone bringing it up. There's also the possibility that the meeting is about the cure for that human thing. Although with that topic, they'll ask why Alastor drank Velvette's potion in the first place.

How am I supposed to tell them Val used it to neutralize Alastor's abilities to keep him captive and now we're dating without making it seem like we're forcing Alastor into this relationship? That wouldn't look good. Someone will want to know.
