Pardon The Way That I Stare

Well, well, well

As Alastor and Lucifer settled into the rhythm of the video, the moment was interrupted by the sound of footsteps descending the stairs. Vox appeared, leaning casually against the couch with an amused smirk plastered across his face.

"Well, well, well," he said, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow at Alastor. "Look at you, the mighty Radio Demon, reduced to watching YouTube. What a sight to behold!"

"Ah, shit," Alastor muttered, his cheeks flushing slightly as he shot a glare at Vox.

Lucifer couldn't help but burst into laughter, the sound bubbling out of him like an unexpected delight. "Oh, this is gold! I didn't think I'd see the day when Alastor would cave to the allure of technology."

Vox stepped closer, his grin widening as he leaned over the back of the couch. "You always went on about how you despised it, Al. I think I might need to call the authorities on this one—your downfall is too entertaining to miss!"

Alastor straightened up, attempting to regain his composure. "It's merely a—"

"A mere indulgence, I know, I know," Vox interrupted, waggling his finger playfully. "But we both know you're secretly enjoying this, aren't you? Watching silly videos with your boyfriend? So wholesome."

Lucifer glanced up at Alastor with a teasing smile. "Come on, admit it! You love it! I might even have to get you your own channel at this rate."

"Not a chance," Alastor shot back, though a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. "This is purely for research purposes, so I can better understand the primitive minds of mortals."

Vox chuckled, shaking his head. "Right, 'research.' You just keep telling yourself that, Al. It's adorable."

Lucifer grinned at Vox's antics, leaning against Alastor for support. "I love how you can just rile him up so easily. It's like watching a cat and a mouse dance around each other."

"Oh, I'll dance, all right," Alastor retorted, playfully nudging Lucifer back before standing up to face Vox. "But I'd rather not be your source of amusement. I have standards to uphold, you know."

Vox laughed, raising his hands in mock surrender. "Alright, alright! I'll back off... for now. But don't think I won't bring this up later."

As Vox moved to join them on the couch, Lucifer settled back against Alastor, his laughter fading into a warm smile. "Well, we could always use a third for our commentary," he suggested, nudging Alastor playfully. "What do you say, Vox? Want to join the fun?"

With a dramatic sigh, Alastor rolled his eyes. "Fine, but if you start playing any more cat videos, I'm out."

Vox laughed, plopping down beside them. "Deal. Let's see what other ridiculous things we can find."

As they resumed watching, the cozy atmosphere wrapped around them like a warm blanket, punctuated by laughter and light-hearted teasing that felt just right.
