"You know I don't understand you when you speak this island language, Val!" - Vox said with a huge dose of arrogance. You roll your eyes at Vox's stubbornness, at not realizing how fragile the unholy trio of Vees is right now, and tell the Overlord so to his face before running after your friend Valentino to try and calm him down. SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2 -> Valentino x female Reader
"He'll see you both… this is a shitty hiding place, Velvette," - you commented as Velvette turned the chair, in which Alastor was still tied, so that only the backrest was visible upon entering the room. But neither Velvette nor Alastor (who was grinning incessantly) seemed to take your objections seriously. Velvette was still sulking because Vox had jumped through the CCTV cameras again after having to apologize to Carmilla Carmine… and now, as usual, she had her smartphone in her hands and was angrily tapping away at the screen.
"Shut up! You're just as pissed off about Vox's behavior as we are… when he does have time, it's only when he wants something from us… where's Valentino, anyway? I thought you were like his shadow!" - Velvette snapped at you, and you just crossed your arms as Velvette climbed into the second round chair and gave you a provocative look.
"He wanted to get some new cigarettes, not the ones he uses to make his fucking impressive pink smoke… he was so upset after Vox hooked up with Lucifer… after he pulled his act and only got a sliver of the spotlight… damn Alastor, stop laughing so filthily, I can hear you all the way over here! My demonic form is part bat, already forgotten!" - you growl once, as your fine senses pick up the laughter from Radio Demon… it's getting on your nerves.
The fact that Velvette is more irritable than usual is getting on your nerves… the fact that Vox increasingly wants to be the center of attention in his own show is getting on your nerves (and the fact that he seems to have forgotten that the Vees consist of three people… Velvette and Valentino… is twice as annoying). You'd come to know the Vees as a well-oiled trio… and seeing Vox now turn his brilliant plan into a solo act is wearing you down.
You're basically the silent shadow at Valentino's side… a kind of… lapdog—while he's unofficially dating Vox and spending more than one intoxicating night in bed with the TV executive… but your loyalty and affection for Valentino is genuine and unbreakable… what Vox doesn't seem to grasp, however, is almost breaking your sinner's heart.
"Yeah, yeah, don't spill old tea, bitch! Now help me, will you?" - Velvette said, and with a sigh, you turned her chair so that the back was facing you.
Her plan was to eavesdrop on Valentino and Vox and wait for the moment to confront Vox. A trio is only as good as its chemistry… and if Vox keeps going like this, his partners, his Overlord Friends in Crime—and you, of course—will eventually be against him. You should focus on winning together… didn't Vox say, "Once we're gods in heaven," he said? It seems like he suddenly wants to win this sprint all by himself.
"I'll… sit on the sofa and pretend to be asleep," - you murmured, and moments later you sat down on one of the sofas, closed your eyes, and heard Valentino enter the room. His footsteps stopped short of your chosen sleeping spot.
``Did my little bat party a little too hard with the showgirls, huh?" - Val cooed in your right ear.
Damn asshole! He knows it's completely unnecessary. But your mask remains perfectly still…even when Val starts making soft, circular motions with his right index finger on your bat ear.
"…or did Daddy's last sex session knock you out, baby, huh?" - he cooed again, a little deeper.
You let out a deep sigh and roll over, pretending to be asleep. You feel his gaze on you, but you don't react.
"At least I know you haven't forgotten me, baby," - Valentino hissed softly as he sat down on the other sofa… poured himself a drink and you were glad he only saw your back… because your heart was trembling with sympathy and anger at Vox.
And then everything happened faster than expected, because Vox entered the room… Valtentino was pissed off, Vox explained something about business partners, about how they needed to push the fan favorites closer to the finish line so they'd get more screen time… blah… blah… and then he even tried to persuade your boyfriend to have sex with you so Vox would get what he wanted. You could hear Val's tongue greedily slithering out of his mouth, you could hear the poison softly dripping onto the Moth Demon's cloak, and then… Velvete made her entrance.
"…ha! That's not in the script. I don't see that part!"
"Get the fuck off me! You know that shitty eye thing never works on me!" - Val cursed, spreading his wings menacingly.
You stir, stretch, and sit upright on the sofa. Your eyes darted over to Vox and Val.
"…you always do what you want anyway!" - Val added, and you could hear the hurt in his voice. Come on, Vox, don't be such a fool and realize you're behaving wrongly!
But Vox just folded his arms, and Valentino stormed off, cursing in Spanish.
"You know I don't understand when you speak this island language, Val!" - Vox said with a healthy dose of arrogance.
"Anyone else have something to say? YOU?!" - Vox snapped at you. You straightened up, your left ear twitching ominously. Unfortunately, to the amusement of everyone present, it looked rather cute.
"You're playing with fire. If you hurt Velvette or Valentino irreparably in any way… don't say I didn't warn you," - you hissed.
Just seconds later, Val's furious sentence, now back in English, came out.
"I'm from Florida, you fucking bitch!"—and seconds later, a cocktail glass shattered against Vox's face.
You walked past him and hurried after Valentino. You wanted to do something to make your partner feel better.
THE END
