(Voxs POV)

I fix my bowtie in the bathroom giving myself a nervous smile in the mirror before it drops. “Why do you have to look like this?” I eye my think T.V rim and scan over my style choice. I take another glance before turning away. It doesn't matter, I think, because today is going to be perfect! I hum a catchy as I walk out of the bathroom. As I do I hit something stumbling back slightly. “apologies my good uh, hell-i-ven.” my roommate gives me a weird look. “Pffts vox its just me, no need to act so formal.” Vellvette wraps an arm around my shoulders as we walk to the kitchen. “soo what's new? Why you all dressed up and shit.” I smile pushing my glasses up slightly. (ik Vox really can't have glasses but I'm in fucking love with the idea) “well I was just going to visit my friend alastor today!” I say cheerfully. Vellvette laughs as we stop in the kitchen. “That one you always talk about?” I feel my screen getting hot and laugh awkwardly. “huh? What do you mean?” Vellvettes faces lights up. “It is isn't it!” Vellvette hugs me from behind wrapping her arms around my neck as I lift a hand to support her weight. I smile at vellvettes supportiveness.

“you TOTALLY like him!” I smile a bit then fake cough. “..fine but don't tell anyone!” Vellvette squeaks happily sitting on the counter top. “I knew it! So when you going to confess?”

“I…don't know…But I was going to ask him something important today!” I smile the idea running through my head again. “oooo what is it.” I grap tea from the fridge passing it to vellvette who opens it and takes a swing.

“well you know how the human world is technologically Advancing and I thought well; why not bring that down to hell? And I just know he'll be perfect for the job!”

Vellvette smiles. “Aww your so cute, and don't talk bullshit in the morning okay?”

I nod nervously. “so your really into this guy huh?”

I nod. “I…think so.”

“that's sucks for my friend I mean, he thought you were cute and wanted to meet.”

“oh, well I'm sure we can be friends!” Vellvette rolls her eyes playfully. “Your to much vox, now, I'll see you when you get back yeah?” I not walking towards the door. And grabbing the black leather coat vellvette made for me. Damn she's getting good at this, I think. The door shuts behind me and I stride to the coffee shop alastor is always at.

……

When I arrived I sit in our usual seats and order a coffee. Should I confess? I think, taking small sits of my coffee. Or will it make things weird between us?

“Vox my friend, I didn't except you here at this time of day.”

I turn my head at the familiar voice. “Uh yeah just…felt like coming early ha-ha!” My voice cracks and I curse in my head.

“Right…” alastor pulls out the chair a crossed from me sitting down. I drum my fingers nervously on the table my leg rocks back and forth. Fuck I'm so nervous.
