La petite morte. But how little is it when you are dying at the same time? It's a simple thing for Valentino to give to Vox. Very simple.
Vox had gone to sleep in a bad mood. Also at two in the morning. He hadn’t expected to wake up at six, right before his alarm, to the smell of breakfast.
Except Val couldn’t hate him. As angry as Vox had made him, Val couldn’t hate him. And part of that made him angrier. It would be so much easier if Val could hate him. Hate him like Vox appeared to hate him.
Vignettes of the longest running "friendship" in Hell. Now that's good television! Chapter Summaries One: Their first dance. Two: Before Val became a pimp, he had his own. Three: Vox deals with Val's instability. Four: Vox teaches Val how to flip a pancake. It goes as well as you might expect. Five: Vox fails to realize he has already found a way to help. Six: Val cares for Vox after the nightmare. Seven: After Val's drag performance, Vox somehow says the wrong thing. Eight: Val paints non-existent stars. Nine: To no one's surprise, Val likes the gift of sex for his birthday. Ten: Val does not understand Vox's hatred of Angel Dust. Eleven and Twelve: Vox likes to give Val gifts. Because of Val's reaction to one, he pushes the moth toward freedom. Thirteen: Velvette calls Vox out for how obviously in love with Val he is. Fourteen: Val watches Vox. Most chapters are about Valentino's start in Hell and being controlled by a pimp of his own or dealing with his PTSD from that. The cycles of abuse indeed.
Three times Vox saved Val and one time Val saved Vox.
Pros to fucking an artist: interesting fuck sessions. Cons to fucking an artist: waiting on the art.
Overlord Augustine is throwing a masquerade. Out of all the Vees, only Valentino is invited. To get all three of them a shot at grabbing some of the other Overlord's talent, Vox goes as Val's plus one... despite the theme of the evening being romance.
The skirt said fuck me. Perhaps not literally, but it was why Valentino picked out certain outfits. It was explicitly to tease people. And people always included Vox.
