6: Newcomer

                                    

                                          
He walks back into the hotel and announces he must go back for work. It was a lie and Alastor saw right through it. Vox knew that glare he was getting from Al. Vox gave his "help me" look only Alastor knows. 
Vox goes to the Vs tower and Alastor calls it a night and walks to his room. Instead of sleeping, he locks the door and disappears into shadows. Vox arrives at the tower and can hear the glass shattering and tons of thudding. He hesitantly walks into the elevator, taking him to Val's floor. Alastor appears beside him.
 "Still remember," Vox says. 
 "Of course." 
"Thank you." Alastor disappears again as the doors open. Only to reappear behind Val, leaning against a wall. Val threw a glass vase at Vox, who dodged swiftly. 
"I assume you're pissed about the news." 
"Of course I am pissed. Is that why you turn me down?! Because of some dust-covered radio show?!" 
"Dust-covered radio show? That's a new one," Al says nonchalantly, looking at his nails. 
"Al, don't provoke him," Vox warns. 
"It's rather easy to provoke such a small, smooth mind. Just my presence angers the moth. Haha." 
"You fucking bitch!" Val yells. 
"You're just jealous Vox doesn't give the same attention to you as he does to me." Alastor tilts his head with a smile. 
It just aggravates Val more. Val tries to grab the Radio Demon, but fails as Alastor turns into shadows and appears back normal behind Val. He does this a few times before Val is fed up. 
"Val stop. You don't control what I do!" Vox yells. Val looks over at the walking TV.
"You are mine, Voxxy." Val grips Vox's arm tightly. 
"No I'm not. You just manipulate me and use me for sex." Val backs Vox into the corner. With his free hand, he caresses Vox's screen with a finger. Them tilting his chin up. Val mumbles something along the lines of "I've missed you" while leaning in to kiss the TV head. 
"Pardon me for ruining the reunion." Val turns his head towards Alastor. Vox takes this distraction to go into the nearest camera, zapping him into the lobby. "Farewell underdeveloped insect." Alastor disappears into shadows. 
"Fuck!" Val curses. 
The lobby was quiet and empty. No reporters filling the area and harassing Vox with questions. Vox sat down against a wall and Alastor stood beside him. 
"I should've listened to you all those years ago," Vox says quietly. "I'm such an idiot." 
"Mistakes were made dear friend, it makes us who we are. Don't dwell on it. Mistakes are made for your future self. Great learning experience. Not a soul hasn't made a mistake." 
"What mistakes have you made?" Vox looks up at the other demon. He accidentally looks up Alastor's coat, seeing his tail. The urge to touch makes itself known. 
"When I was alive, I've gotten with the wrong people. Haha. I got out of the situation before anything escalated too much. But those people still got their pleasure." 
"What did those people do to you?" Alastor clears his throat. 
"We should get back to the hotel. Unless you want to stay here." Vox looks at the deer with concern but travels back to the hotel in the shadows. Alastor puts Vox in his room and then teleports into his own. He unlocks the door and changes into his night clothes. 
Al wakes up next morning unable to move.He tried to move his arms but couldn't. He was still in his room, but electrical tubes wrapped around him. He ripped them off with his black tentacles and teleported to Vox's room, who's in pain.
