Addicted to The Light~ [Vox x Valentino]

Chapter 5: Lucifer's Change of Focus

Vox:

Vox heard the news. Lucifer ditched the apple phones. The man can't keep p. a task for very long, can he? Well, now he's obsessing over his kid. Vox rolled his eyes at the thought. The little spoiled kid gets everything supposedly. Her dad, friends, an entire building, damn Alastor. He growled in a staticky tone under his breath. He was sitting in his business chair in front of a million bright screens, each screen a different thing, mainly cameras. He didn't have time to stalk people today anyway. He had a laptop in his lap and battery acid on the table. With Lucifer out of the picture, he could worry about other things.

He had to worry about finances with Val's thousands of dollars down the drain from an 'incident'. Honestly, if Vox could he'd sue that purse puppy of a princess, but he can't.  He had to worry about advertisements, sale tactics, and deals to get the people that had bought the apple phones into his grasp while they were out in the air. Plus, Velvette once again was dealing with model problems. It would be an exhausting day for them. Especially Vox. Vox took the liberties of dealing with business finance for the trio, which maybe was a bad idea. The number of orders for beds and sex toys coming from Val's studio was absurd. The amount of fabric used in a month from Velvette was painful to look at. He's a smart guy, though he knows money. But he also knows thousands of dollars of equipment was burned, and an entire area of the studio is unusable till repairs, which is also thousands of dollars. He was number crunching right now while in the back of his brain brainstorming for marketing.

He was so deep in work that he didn't hear the clack of his assistant's shoes against the smooth floor. He didn't notice until his assistant showed him a paper with an idea from the marketing team that needed to be signed. He skimmed it and signed it quickly. Once his assistant left, he sunk into his chair and looked up from his computer, rubbing where the temple of his nose would be if he had a nose. He looked to the large number of screens and switched to the screen that was the security camera facing Val. Val looked up, seemingly able to tell Vox's attention switched to him.

"Cariño. I know you're watching me." Val said in a flirtatious tone. How did he even know? Can he just sense it, and how? He snapped out of his thoughts when Val spoke again. "How about you just drop by chico~. I know you need a little receso." Val gave a smirk to the camera. He thought for a moment. He did need a break. All this madness was making him bored. A fresh mind might be good.  He sighed, setting his laptop down and zapped through the camera system to the simple red couch Valentino had in his studio.

"You know you're hard to resist when you start flirting in Spanish." Vox said casually, neatening his jacket.

Val smirks even more, standing up and leaning forward to Vox's screen. "Oh really. Then maybe I should use it more." Vox rolls his eyes a bit.

"Don't you have repairs to watch over?" he asked nonchalantly, trying to figure out why Valentino is bothering him.

"They're "getting materials. " Besides, am I not allowed to get some love from you?" Valentino said, sitting back on the couch. He let his wings simply sprawl out in somehow both suggestive and in a casual manner.

Vox sat down on the couch next to his winged boyfriend, relaxing against the velvet cushions of the couch. It was a comfy spot. It made sense that Val liked it  here. Val hummed, laying his head into Vox's lap. "And what about you? What swayed you to step away from your work for little old me." Val raised his eyebrows a bit.

Vox sighed, fiddling with one of Val's antennas, "I kinda did need a break. It's been a long day." Val hummed to the response, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it as usual. The two fell silent for a while. Vox watched as the red smoke trailed to the ceiling as Valentino's red eyes stared at nothing in particular. God why does he have to have moments where he just thinks Val is the sexiest man alive. He ran his hand over Val's furry neck. The soft and puffy texture is something he's known for ages but never could get bored of. Nothing about Val got boring, annoying sometimes, yes, but not boring. He loved the bundle of anger issues for some reason.
