lowering the cancer stick , the former overlord laughs — covering his digital face .

Alastor flinched with his ears twitching backwards.
He quietly grabbed a cigarette, using his ability to light it.
When he took a drag, he was disheartened.
Of course Vox seemed mad to him.
He didn't know how to reach out.
“ I... ”

huffing in feigned distain , the shark fishes out a pack of smokes — unlucky strikes , thanks to the continuously bad humour of the realm they ‘ re in .

“ You missed me too Vox? ”
His ears twitched back and forth cutely.
“ Really? ”
The comment on possibility shredding his antlers made him laugh a bit.

it ‘ s standard level of malice as he turns his screen towards the other , an unreadable expression on display .
“ — and you ‘ re right . you ‘ ve been acting like you ‘ re about to shred antler or something . “
still snickering a little , vox gives his companion a playful shoulder bump .
“ i wasn ‘ t serious , al . although i wouldn ‘ t mind hearing it once in a while . i mean , fuck , i missed you too . “

Alastor blushed, narrowing his eyes in annoyance at what he thought was teasing.
“ No you may not record me, and besides you know I won't pop up on your wacky technology anyways. ”
He looked to the side.
“ but.. yes.. I suppose I've been a bit irritated.. ”
the media demon blinks , screen displaying an almost comical look of surprise .
“ you ‘ re being cranky because you missed me ? “
all of a sudden he ‘ s laughing , not in the mocking way most know him for these days but in an honest ,

Alastor led Vox away flustered.
“Vox..”
His eyes met his..
“ I suppose I missed your presence.. I suppose thats why I feel so irritated. ”
Was he referring to Rosie?
He blinks.
“ Im no longer changed to her remember? ”
almost relieved way — a sound his companion won ‘ t have heard for decades .
“ wow , al , can you say that again so i can record it ? “
steadying himself , he rolls his eyes .

around his waist , he allows the other to guide them — gps curiously exploring the area around them .
“ sure your mistress will be cool with me hanging around ? “
brow hitching even higher at the vague answer , vox decides not to ask — knowing alastor he ‘ d likely just get some cryptic bullshit anyway .
“ uh yeah , lead the way , i guess . “

“ Nothing against fish demons.. I just.. ”
He fidgets..
How could he say they reminded him of him.
A small blush formed on the radio demon's cheeks.
“ If you aren't opposed, follow me. ”
He shyly nodded.
“ I suppose so.. ”
He clearly had missed Vox.
most likely his affinity with sharks — can almost see the appeal . humming , he pulls the stag closer .
“ sure has . time to amend that , wouldn ‘ t you say ? “
not wasting a moment to tighten his hold around the other demon , vox hitches a digital brow .
“ well , yeah ? your kind above eating fish demons or something ? “
while not a cannibal per se , he has few moral qualms and something —

Alastor's eyes narrowed a bit.
“ You want sushi.. at a cannibal place.. hmm I suppose I know of a place... ”
He leaned into his arms, ears twitching back and forth in a playful tweak.
“ Its been awhile.. since we last saw each other.. ”
deer today is still a mystery to him but he never liked seeing alastor in a mood . reaching out , he puts an arm around him — testing the waters .
“ so — any of the joints you like got a sushi bar ? “
“ guess i should say thanks for not dropping me in a pile of carcasses , then . “
picking up on the other ‘ s low mood , vox turns back to him with a grin — a silent way to display his lack of a grudge . whatever is eating the

lack of vitriol in his voice , however , and his shoulders are quick to sink back down .
“ — the fuck are we ? “
one reason he hates those damn portals , they always mess with his gps system and he ‘ s 100 % that ‘ s deliberate .
responding to the affection with a ‘ tsk ‘ and a halfhearted snarl , the media demon looks to the side — placated by the gesture but unwilling to admit it just yet .

Alastor yanked Vox through the portal gently, till the other was placed gently on the floor.
His lips brushed over Vox's cheek once they were in the streets of Hell.
He knew it would shock Vox but he had missed the terrible television and it drove him crazy

he ‘ s about to accept those talons with his own when he ‘ s suddenly shoved unceremoniously into the glowing ichor that is alastor ‘ s portal . glitching and cursing , vox tries to regain his footing before stumbling

“ Shall we go? ”
Ears flicking towards him back and forth before sitting straight up.
He cleared his throat feeling the slight stares on them before gently shoving the television in his own portal.
