Outside The Office Part Thirty One
TW: Valentino, Drugging, Sex.
Enjoy <3
The bright lights of Valentino’s newest club flashed as we made our way across the floor. The music vibrated in my chest as I slid into the booth. 
“Water for me, Val. Please.” I said quietly as the server appeared. I laid my head on his shoulder. I truly, truly didn’t feel like being out. Staying home by myself wasn’t an option. And according to my vitals, neither was the coffee I so desperately craved. So here I sat, the sober one amongst the chaos.
To his credit,  Valentino gave me the choice- call Lucifer and he could come hang out with me- and by that he meant babysit, or I could go with him and the others. It was opening night of his newest club after all, and as the owner he needed to be there.
“I’m trying something- mi amore. A new business model, so to speak.” He said as he got himself ready for the night. “I need Vox and Vel by my side. And normally I would leave you behind, but giving your…difficult day, I simply cannot justify leaving you alone. And if you’d rather come with us, there is something we need to discuss.” He turned to me and caressed my cheek. “If I kiss you- harshly, roughly, and you see red trickle down from the corner of my mouth, that’s the signal for you to get close to me and stay there. Understood?”
He waited for me to nod and his tone shifted to something much more serious. He cupped my chin and locked eyes with me.
“Princessa. I will degrade you- verbally. I will speak as though you don’t matter to me. Know it’s a lie. Know that I’m doing it because if they think you’re anything more than my favorite toy, you become even more of a target than you already are. With this knowledge, are you sure you want to come with us?”
I nodded. 
“Good.” He pressed his lips to my forehead. “This setup is different, mi amore. If you’re not in the booth with one of us, you’re at one of our sides. Got it?”
Valentino snapped his fingers, barked an order and instantly, a server appeared with a glass of iced water. I accepted with a thank you and took a sip as I surveyed the scene. There would be no soul contracting tonight, Valentino had been clear on that. His concentration needed to be here, at the club. He had a job he needed to do. 
I sank back against the seat and watched as he stood up and walked through the room. Valentino had a presence- people stepped aside as he sashayed across the dance floor. Bartenders move to be sure they took his order first and foremost. He whispered, touched, spoke and caressed without a single falter. I watched as he wrapped his arm around a demon and led her to the back. I felt that familiar twinge of envy. 
“It’s not love, you know.” Velvette’s voice broke through my thoughts. “It’s lust.” 
“Does he…contract souls already in hell?” I asked as I watched him vanish behind closed doors. “I mean, I’ve seen him contact souls on their way here. But…”
“Yes. Val makes his money by contacting beautiful demons to work with him in exchange for half or whole of their soul along with the souls who haven’t quite passed yet. It’s impossible to know with those souls if they’ll end up the look he requires so, sometimes he has to contact directly in hell.” Velvette answered as she sipped her drink. “Don’t overthink it.” 
It was hard not to, wondering what exactly went on behind those closed doors. I stirred my water and resigned myself to waiting. 
“Do you want to dance?” Velvette asked after a few moments of silence,“we can go find Vox!”
I shook my head. “No but you can. I won’t go anywhere, promise.” 
She rolled her eyes and lifted her drink. “Yeah because you’ve historically done so well left unattended.” 
I winced at the sarcasm in her voice, but chose to ignore her as I continued to study the club scene. Something was different from his other clubs. But I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. 
“Care to partake?” A demon with bunny ears approached and offered me a sectioned out tray. Tiny gold jars. Tightly wrapped cigars. Longer red boxes. 
Confusion washed over me. “What is it?”
“No. Now shoo. And don’t offer it to her again,” Velvette snapped. “Or Valentino will hear about it.”
The waitress bowed away. I looked at Velvette and she shook her head. 
“Val’s newest idea. Drugs directly available at the primary source. Bit of an up charge, but patrons won’t mind paying when they’re a few drinks in and it’s convenient. Brilliant business plan really.” She shrugged and took another sip of her drink. 
Ah. So that’s why Valentino was insistent he be here. Great business venture, but definitely had the potential to be a tricky one. Drugs, alcohol, mixed with his clientele had the potential to be a violent mix at best.
“Ah Princessa. Doing okay?” Valentino asked as he slid next to me. He leaned over and turned my face to his and kissed me roughly. Dominantly. His eyes met mine and instantly I knew. 
Red saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth as soon as he pulled away, giving the impression he had drugged me. I leaned myself into him and twisted my fingers into his jacket. I watched Velvette shift her attention to where Vox was, and he quietly rejoined the table. 
“Aww, too much, Princessa?” He asked in a teasing tone. “So fucked up on Daddy’s drugs, it’s almost cute,” he purred loudly, his palm resting on the back of my head. 
I felt his fingers run roughly through my hair and he shoved my face against his chest as footsteps approached. Curled against his protective grasp, I felt that familiar pang of warmth in my tummy. 
God, he was sexy when he was in control. 
Voices I didn’t recognize. Valentino’s grip tightened its hold but his voice stayed calm. Easy going. Prices were discussed. Names of women I didn’t know. Or drugs. It was hard to tell sometimes.
“She available?” I heard one of them say. “Could cut a sweet deal for you in exchange for Lucifer’s little bimbo.” 
I felt his grip tighten on me, but his tone stayed calm. Steady. 
“She isn’t part of the deal, amicico,” came his cool reply. “I don’t share my most favorite toy.” 
They laughed at his words as the tone of conversation shifted. Eventually I heard the footsteps recede and Valentino’s hands relax. 
“Are you ready to go home, mi amore?” He purred. “Let Daddy take care of you? That’s it now, keep your head tucked in, babydoll. You’ll need a nap before we end tonight.”  
I felt him lift me and pause. The volume of his voice dropped and his tone shifted. 
“Vox? Take her out. Now. Vel, I need you with me.” 
Wait what?
I lifted my head up as I was shoved into Vox’s arms. He set me down and took my hand in his as he  pushed his way down the side, cutting a path in a hallway I didn’t realize existed. I looked back, and caught a glimpse of Valentino across the dance floor, wings out, eyes blazing red, matching Velvette’s. The music stopped and tense silence filled the air. Something stirred inside me-  a mix of terror and the desire to run to Valentino. To wrap myself up in his powerful grasp and let him pin me against the wall. Vox tugged my wrist and I looked to him. His own eyes blazed the same fiery crimson. I stopped.
“Come on, move. Now.” He growled. Sensing my discomfort, his voice softened. “It’s still me, kid. I won’t hurt you.” 
The sound of gunshots and I picked up the pace. An open door. I felt the cool air hit my face as the outside air surrounded me. 
“What was that?” I asked once we were seated in the limo. “Is Val okay?”
“Val will be fine. The men who tried to double cross him? Meh. Not so much.” He kept his gaze down as he punched a few things in on his phone. “They’ll join us in a moment. Vel and Val I mean, not the guys.” 
True to his word, the limo door opened moments later. Velvette stepped in, seeming unruffled, followed by Valentino. 
“Good acting, Princessa.” Valentino said with a kiss. “I was convinced I accidentally slipped you a little something extra.” 
I didn’t respond but let myself lean into him.  He put a comforting arm around my shoulder and I half listened as he filled Vox in on the details of the incident. 
As I snuggled into bed next to him that night, he ran a hand down my back. 
“Are you okay Princessa? You’ve been quiet since we left. Talk to me, mi amore.” 
“Do you three, do you feed off each other? Your power? Your energy?” I asked finally. “The Valentino in his demonic form earlier was still soft and cuddly, and fluffy and your wings made me warm and safe and sleepy and then I saw all three of you in the club and your eyes- Val, your eyes matched that same blazing red and I, I just…” 
He listened quietly as I struggled to find the words that expressed the intimidation I felt. 
“I know none of you would hurt me, but you…you three really are dangerous.” I finished. Unsure of what else to say, I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face into him. “It’s kind of hot.” 
To my surprise, he laughed. 
“Hot, Princessa? Is that what this is about?” He asked as he titled my chin up. 
I saw his teeth sharpen as his grin widened. I pressed my lips back against him and buried my fingers in the fluff that appeared around his neck. He pushed me on my back and his wings sprang fourth. 
“I would never hurt you in this form, Princess as. But fuck you? Would be a first for both of us. And I don’t have very many of those left.”
I let out a moan as he kissed down my neck. His tongue toyed with my nipples and I felt myself buck against him. He laughed and pulled me up, and forced me to sit on his lap as he continued to toy with my body.
“Fuck, Val!” I breathed as I pressed my hips against him. My fingers buried themselves in his fluff as he pushed a single finger into me, his teeth sinking ever so gently into my collarbone. Euphoria flooded my body and I felt myself grow wetter with each stroke.
“Fuck, Val!” I moaned. It was the most amazing feeling that flooded my body- almost as if I was floating. I felt every muscle relax. An innate desire washed over me. I needed him in me, fuck I wanted him to put his babies inside me. 
“Val, I want cock- your cock!” I moaned.
A grin widened across his face. “Oh? Is that so, princessa?”I felt his fingers roughly grab my hair and he laid back as he pushed my face down towards his lip. “You want my cock so bad? Open that pretty mouth of your and get busy, princessa. 
I obeyed and he slid his cock down my throat. He groaned as he listened to me choke on his length. His hands kept tension, tugging my hair as he demanded for me to go faster, yanking my head up and down his cock.  
“Swallow every god damn drop,” he commanded. 
The implied or else turned me on more than the actual threat. I felt him explode and hastily, I got to work on kissing, sucking and cleaning up  every inch of him, being sure to leave not a single drop behind. 
As soon as he was sufficiently pleased, his fingers twisted into my hair and he yanked my head up, rolling me on my back as he pinned me to the bed. 
“That’s my good girl,” he purred, “ are you ready for your reward?” 
He pushed himself deep into me and I arched my back as I dug my nails into his skin. His wings fluttered above us, creating a blanket of shadows. I pushed my hips against him as that innate desire flooded deeper into me. I needed him, I needed his come in my belly. 
“Valentino,” I moaned. It didn’t quite sound right but I didn’t care. “Please, Val- I need you to come in me! Fill me, please Valentino!” 
He stopped mid thrust. I groaned in frustration and clawed at his back as felt him pull out immediately. 
“Princessa?” He asked as he grabbed my chin and forced me to look in his eyes. Concern washed over his features. “Oh, fuck.”
“Why did you stop?!” I begged as I wrapped my arms around him and ground my hips against him. “Val, come on!”
“Oh, no no no. Shit. Fuck.” He cursed as he pushed me down, his eyes carefully studying my body. 
I felt myself giggle. “See something you like?”
I felt his fingers trace where he had bitten my collarbone. I looked down and saw red liquid pour down. Blood maybe? It didn’t hurt so I didn’t care. The burning in my belly needed him, demanded him, growing stronger with each passing second. I ground my hips against him roughly, hoping he would fulfill my desperate desire. 
“More Val, I want you. Inside me, now!” I demanded as I bounced on his lap. “Come on, Val!” 
“No, Princessa.” He said sharply. He set me on the bed and I watched as he slammed the bathroom door. When he came out a few moments later, he wore his black sweatpants. 
I reached for him and he shook his head. “I’m sorry princess. I should have known better.” He kissed the top of my head and pushed me down. I felt his fingers side into me and I bucked my hips against the feeling, desperate for any satiating touch. 
“Val, I want cock- your cock!” I groaned as I ground against his fingers.
“Not tonight, you’re too fucked up.” He said calmly. “And not until I get some answers. Breathe for me, Princessa.” 
I groaned and pushed myself against him. “Deeper, Val!! I need you.” 
His thumb pushed against my clit and I came instantly around his fingers. 
“More!” I begged. “Please, Valentino, I need you.Your cock in me, please Valentino!”
Instead of answering my plead, I felt his fingers slide out of me. I groaned in frustration, but felt something slide deep into me, replacing the feeling of his fingers with a pleasant vibration. He settled me on his lap and his wings surrounded me. 
“You’re not going to settle for awhile, princessa. But please, try.” He said softly as I squirmed against his chest. “I’ll take the toy out if you feel asleep.” 
“Noo, I want your cock, Val” I please. Words began to spill out as I desperately attempted to convince him to fuck me. “I want you, in me. I want your come and I want to be pregnant with your babies, Val.” I reached down to touch the vibrator inside me, but his hand caught mine. “I want to be big and round and pregnant! Please, Val!”
“No. Not yet, Princessa. Someday, maybe.” He replied as he shifted me. “Not now. Not like this.” 
I groaned. “but Val!!”
“Whine all you want with that sweet little mouth, but it won’t change a damn thing.”
Like hell it wouldn’t. Under his wings, I reached up and grabbed at the fluffy around his neck. He grabbed my wrist and sat up. I could hear the frustration in his voice.
“Princessa this is not you. Stop. I will leave you in bed alone tonight if you can’t get yourself under control. Come on, please?” 
“Aww, Daddy, is that a command?”
“Alright, that’s enough. You’re too out of it for this.” He pushed himself up and set me down next to him and  pushed me down on the bed. 
“Val!” I whined.
“No. I love you too much, Princessa.”
I watched his form slowly go back to his normal self. He dug through the drawer and came up with two long silk ties. I felt my heart beat faster. 
“Yes, tie me down and fuck me!” I moaned as he lifted my wrist up and tied me against the bed frame. I whined again as another hot coil of desire shot through my belly. “I want you Val!” 
“I know. And I think I know why. Which is why I’m putting you in restraints. I’m not leaving you and I can’t have you completely and totally feral.” He replied as he tied the knot tighter. 
I felt myself explode again around the toy at the feeling of his touch on my skin. I moaned as that feeling grew stronger and I pushed against the silk. 
“Valentino!” I moaned as he covered me with a blanket. “Fuck, Valentino!” 
“I know, I’m sorry,” he replied softly as he laid on the bed next to me, just out of my reach. “I didn’t know.” 
“Know what?” I demanded as I pulled on the restraints. 
“How we can have kids someday, mi amore.”

AWWW I just read your Val & Vox with a little girl and its so so cute!! Can I maybe request a one shot of Vox as a girl's dad too? Like his daughter in life getting to hell in her late teens, and now Vox has to deal with the change in taking care of her because he only knew how to take care of her as a child before he died. Thank youu 💖💙
This request. Could have gone in SO MANY FUN WAYS! Let me know your feedback and thoughts! Enjoy- I can do a part two if you like it!!
I downed my tenth cup of coffee and adjusted myself in my chair. My head pounded and I hoped that just a few more drops of the life-giving liquid would keep the exhaustion at bay long enough to get this project done. I hit the call button on the intercom in my office.
“Charles! Another cup!” 
Ten seconds. Enough of a break. I turned my attention back to the document on my computer. 
My assistant brought in another cup right away. “Ms. Reader, don’t you think you’re getting carried away?” 
“I said coffee. Not lip. Order me a raspberry mocha from the shop down the street and have it here in exactly twenty minutes.” I responded as I continued to type. 
He bowed his head. “As you wish. Mr. Vox asked for an update. What should I tell him?”
I paused for a half a moment. “Tell my Dad it will be ready well before the deadline.” 
I looked back down and continued to type. It had been a month since I first found myself in hell. It took my father no time to locate me- though his reaction wasn’t what I expected. 
“Babygirl, you grew up.” He said as I sat across from him in his perfectly manicured office. A pained expression crossed his face. “Tell me, what did you do in your human life to land you in my office? And so young too…how old are you now? Eighteen?”
Sixteen. I thought to myself. An idea began to form. He didn’t remember my age- that could work to my advantage. After all, acting older than I was was a skill I acquired, and I was more than used to my own independence. I crossed my arms. “Eighteen. I’ve been running your company since I was thirteen.” That much, at least, was true. “What do you think got me here? Your business skills weren’t the only thing I inherited.” 
He sighed. “The same thing that brought me here. Fine.” 
He reached out to touch my face and I jerked away. He was a stranger to me, gone from my life when I was six. My mother tried to keep his company on Earth going, but she didn’t have the business skills I did. And when she passed the company fell to my hands with contingencies. Overnight I became the voice- the face of the company, running between me and the board. 
When I passed she was the first person I looked for. Not that I thought I’d find her- and I was right. She went up, and we went down. My dad and his company found me shortly after, and I wasn’t in the slightest surprised to find he was as much of a go getter down here as he was when he was alive, the sole owner of VoxTech. 
But as I sat in his office across from him, memories of him in life blossomed. Soft words. Snuggles. Hugs and kisses. All the comfort that was ripped away the day he left us, left me. 
“You’re going to need a place,” he continued. “A place to stay. A job. I can give you all those things. Keep you safe.”
My other option was the streets of hell. An unappealing choice at best. And so, I accepted the role he offered and the responsibilities that came with it. I was determined to show my father that I was a hardworking girlboss, worthy of his faith in me. 
“And send,” I said aloud as I finished the final drop of my mocha. My head felt fuzzy and my chest definitely buzzed but it was worth it. I opened my inbox. The time on the clock read ten- I had finished with several days to spare. Might as well keep going. 
I didn’t remember falling asleep, but the next thing I knew I startled awake to the feeling of a hand on my wrist. 
“Hey, hey baby girl. Take a deep breath, it’s just me.” My dad said. 
I shifted and realized he had covered me with his jacket. I tried to sit up and realized I wasn’t in my office anymore. Instead, I laid on the couch in his.
Fuck. The project. Did I submit it?
“Wh-what time is it? I’m late, I still need…” I sat up.
Vox pushed me back down. “No. You need to lay down. You’re exhausted and your pulse is really high. The doctor is on his way up to look at you. When was the last time you went home to bed?” 
Three days ago. But I didn’t want to tell him that, so instead I remained silent. Vox let out a soft chuckle. 
“You haven’t changed all that much, have you?” He asked as he smoothed back my hair. “You used to do this when you were little too. Play so hard you fell asleep where you were. I used to pick you up and put you to bed, and you were so exhausted you didn’t wake up.”
“Is that how I got here?” I asked.Throbbing pain pulsed through my skull and I closed my eyes as I pressed my head into my hands. “Ugh, my head hurts.” 
“Yeah. Your assistant found you passed out on your desk around midnight. He called me right away.” He wrapped a blood pressure cuff around my arm and hit a button. “When was the last time you drank water? Or ate anything?” Concern oozed from his voice. “I found like twenty empty coffee cups in your office.”
“I had coffee. I’m good. Lived on it back home. Live on it here.” I winced as the cuff grew tighter on my arm. “I’m fine, Dad.” 
“You’re not. And I want numbers while we wait for the doctor to get here. What were you thinking?” He placed the back of his hand on my head. “Com’on you’re smarter than that.” 
I felt my cheeks flush. “I’m not a child, Dad.”
“Maybe not anymore, but you’ll always be my baby,” he replied calmly. “So will you relax and let me be your dad for a moment?” 
I relented and let him fuss until the doctor came in. Vox stood with his arms crossed until I got the all clear. 
“Just cut down on the caffeine, plenary of fluids, and get a few days of rest, and you’ll be fine in no time,” the doctor said finally. He scribbled a few things on his notepad. “Quick question. How old are you, exactly? Because your father says eighteen, but my records show sixteen.” 
I saw Vox turn to look at me, a mix of fury and annoyance on his face. Shit. He grabbed the clipboard from the doctor and scanned the sheet. Realization flooded his face. 
“Rest and fluids, that I can do,” I said loudly as I pulled myself up to standing. “Dad, you don’t mind if I cut out a few minutes early, do you?”
Vox swallowed and looked at me. “You told me you were twenty.”
“Actually, I said eighteen.” I replied, “not that it matters.”
“Oh, it does matter.” He said, his voice laced with anger. “You lied to me.”
I shrugged. “I’ve been on my own running your company for three years. But anyway, I’m going home, Dad. See you tomorrow.” I went to walk out the door and he caught my wrist. 
“Oh fuck no. You think I’m going to let my teenage daughter waltz out of here after all this? No. You’re coming home with me. End of discussion. And consider yourself suspended from work for the time being. 
I felt myself freeze. “You can’t fire me, this is my job!” 
He laughed darkly. “Oh honey! You work for me. Consider it your punishment for lying to your Boss.” He stood up. “Let’s go. You’re not staying in that apartment by yourself. You’re sixteen.” He shook his head. “You’re sixteen.”
“Then where am I staying?” I asked, crossing my arms as unease flooded through me.
“Home. With me. Where you belong.” He said firmly as he pressed his hand to my shoulder. 
I felt myself deflate but again, seeing no other option, I let him guide me to the elevator. Three floors later, the elevator opened and I followed him into a spacious living room.
“I’ll have your things taken from your apartment and moved into the fourth bedroom,” he said as he gave me the tour. 
“I’ve been on my own for a month in hell, and even longer before then,” I protested. “I know how to live by myself.”
He stopped walking and turned his head. “Then I guess it’s about time you learned how to be a teenager then, hm?” 
Anger flooded through me. “That isn’t fair! Dad!”
Vox gave me a grin. “There. That’s a great start! But seriously, you’re grounded.”
“You can’t ground me!”
He practically puffed himself up. “You’re sixteen and I’m your dad. Of course I can. And you are.” He pushed open the door “and this is your room. You can redecorate as you please.”
I stepped inside. “Wait, this is my room?”
Easily twice the size of my little apartment, the bed alone took up the center of the room. It’s current color scheme was neutral, with huge windows overlooking the city. 
“Yeah, like I said, order whatever you want and I’ll have Velvette…”
“Aunt Velvette?!” I asked, excitement washing over me. 
“You remember her?” He asked in a surprised voice. “Do you remember Valentino too?” He leaned against the doorframe and waited for my reaction. 
I turned around. “Uncle Val? The badass mafia mobster that used to come over and toss me in the pool when you guys got tired of doing it?”
“Hey, who told you he was a mobster?” Vox asked as I continued to look around the room.
“Mom.” 
He sighed. “Of course she did. Well, she wasn’t wrong. But yes. One and the same. We met up in hell and we-“
“Continue to rule together as much as you did in life. Got it,” I replied. “Did you not tell them I was here? In the building this whole time?”
Vox shrugged. “I was hoping to get to know you a bit more before I let them know you were here. But I wanted to give you some time to settle in first. After all, I thought you were an adult. Time…time passes differently down here.”
“Reader? Is that really you?” I heard an excited voice yell from the hallway.
My head turned. I knew that voice. Velvette pushed past Vox and she and Valentino practically ran over to me. 
“Aww, my little Princessa! All grown up I see!” My Uncle Val lifted me up and spun me around like I was five. He kissed me on the forehead and set me down. 
Shock flooded through my body as I looked at them both in their demon forms. Seeing my Dad with a TV shaped head was one thing- it made sense with what he did. Aunt Velvette still looked the same but Uncle Val? He looked…scarily different. Purple skin, sharp teeth. The only thing that stayed the same was his signature heart shaped glasses. 
“Valentino, chill. You spooked her.” Velvette scolded. “It’s been what, how many years?”
“Wait- where is Uncle Al?” I asked 
My father glitched. “We don’t talk about him. Not after what he did to me.” 
“What did he do?” I asked in confusion. 
“Ah, no. Princessa. Baby. You’ll get your daddy all worked up. We don’t want or need that,” Valentino scolded.
I crossed my arms and took a defensive stance. “I’m not five. And I’ve been an adult for a long, long time.” 
“Yeah, why don’t you tell us all about that? Over dinner.” Vox said, slinging his arm over my shoulder. “After all, it’s been a long time since we’ve had a family dinner.”
He didn’t know the half of it.

Outside The Office Part Thirty
“Hey, princess. You have to wake up now.” 
The  sound of Vox’s voice and the feeling of his hand startled me awake. I sat up quickly, the blanket falling from where my head had been tucked in. Gone was the warm, protective darkness of Valentino’s wings. Instead, the blankets were wrapped tightly- mimicking his hold on me. My head ached, and I wondered how he had managed to get me into bed without waking me up.
“Where’s Val?” I asked as I looked around the room. 
“Valentino went to go handle something, and he left me in charge of making sure you, my dear, eat dinner and don’t sleep for too long. We’re going out tonight! Drugs should be well out of your system by now, so up you go!” He said in a sing-song voice. “Com’on now!”
I groaned and flopped back down under the covers. “My head hurts.”
“Shocking,” he said sarcastically. “Here, drink this,” he untwisted the cap and handed me a bottle of sweet sixteen. “All of it, in your tummy. Then I’m checking your vitals, and then you can get up.”
I scowled at him. “I would say you act like my Dad, but that would be an insult to you.” 
“Aw, love you too princess. Now drink up.” He replied as he pressed the back of his hand to my head. “All of it.”
I took a sip. And then another. Instantly, the headache began to fade. 
 “You will actually make a great Dad one day, you know.” I said between sips. 
He rolled his eyes. “No. Vel and I don’t want kids, but I’ll make a hell of an Uncle whenever you and Val decide the time is right.”
I paused and lowered the bottle. Kids? I hadn’t thought that far ahead.  “Can that even happen? Can I get pregnant?” I asked. 
Vox shrugged and pulled his hand away. “Do you still get your period in hell?”
I felt myself flush. “I mean, yeah. On time, every month. Just like in heaven.”
“Then there you have it- yes. You and Valentino can have kids. It’s just a matter of trying, I would think.” He paused. “Not that I’m rushing or encouraging it, but you brought it up.”
I felt a shiver run down me. Valentino had to have had sex with thousands of demons in his line of work. Was Vox implying something? 
“Wait, does Valentino already have…”
Vox let out a laugh and cut me off. “Fuck no. God, that would be awful. No, princess, he would have to want them in order to have them. That’s why you two can fuck all you want and not have a single worry. Part of the perk of being the Overlord of Lust. Until he decides, really decides he wants to procreate, he won’t physically be able to.”
I took another sip of my drink as I considered his words. “I would need a big diamond on my finger before kids are even a thought. And a wedding. Do people, demons, get married in hell?”
“Sure do,” Vox said. He sat down next to me and took my wrist in his hand. “Demon weddings are a good time, might I add.” 
I squirmed ever so slightly as he took my pulse, but tried to exhale and stay calm. “Don’t you have my vitals synched from my watch to your phone?”
“Sure do. I like to check the accuracy though. Make sure the data is correct,” he replied as he clipped a pulse oximeter to my finger. “Why are you so fidgety?”
“I don’t particularly like medical stuff being done to me,” I replied honestly. “I mean, it's one thing to play around with it, or like, when Valentino and I are in bed, but it's another thing when it's serious.”
“And why is that? Did something happen when you were with the angels? Cause I don’t have any record of any major surgeries or traumatic events or things like that?” Vox asked as he leaned back, waiting for my answer. 
I shrugged. “I got held down alot when I was little. I didn’t like shots, and it didn’t take much for me to be pushed down and forced to stay still. I mean, it was for my own benefit of course, but…”
“There are better ways,” Vox finished for me. He shook his head, looking absolutely disgusted. “Fuckin angels.” 
I let his comment go. “It’s weird though, because, I mean, when my head is on Valentino’s body, I feel the opposite. Safe. Secure. And I don’t mind him taking my pulse when he’s not looking to…do something medical with the information, if that makes sense?”
“It does- and I appreciate you sharing that with me. I’ll bear it in mind.” He squeezed my shoulder gently with his other hand. “Our goal is to keep you safe, so you’ll never fully escape getting checked over, but at least we’ll make sure you consent. Can you agree to that?”
I nodded. 
“And on your other note, I think listening to the heartbeat of someone you love is much, much different than being held down and medicine painfully forced into your body.” He released my wrist and reached into his bag.  “But speaking of heartbeats, I do need to listen to yours. You good with that?” Vox asked as he pulled a stethoscope out of his backpack.
I nodded and sat up, swinging my legs over the side of the bed. “Thanks for asking. I am. I trust you. You didn’t tattle on me.”
“No, you tattled on yourself. And I’m glad you did. Stop talking for a second, let me listen.” Vox said as he pressed the disk to my chest. “Good, now deep breath in. And out. 
I stayed still and tried to relax. His touch was light. Gentle. Finally, he pulled back and draped the scope around his neck. 
“Heart sounds good. Lungs do too. Let me check your blood pressure and you’ll be all good. You need to keep drinking.” His voice softened ever so slightly. “Which arm did Val put the IV in? I’ll use the other arm.” 
I offered him the opposite arm and he wrapped the cuff around. I felt the nerves begin to settle. 
“So, why do you know how to take vitals? I mean, I sort of get Valentino but, why you?” I asked. 
He paused and looked at me. “Data accuracy. If something I create reads a number, I want to make sure it's right. And I don’t trust anyone other than myself, so I learned basic skills. Vitals I mean. I technically could take blood or put an IV in but if given the choice between a nurse or me, pick the nurse. For your own benefit. Now shush for like one minute.”
I waited patiently until he deflated the cuff. He seemed satisfied and tucked everything back into his bag. I took the last drink from the bottle of sweet sixteen and set the empty bottle on the nightstand. Silence from Vox as he typed furiously on his phone. 
“Am I okay?” I asked after a few moments of quiet.
He looked unconcerned. “Mhm, yep. You’re fine. Vel’s going to be late, which means it's you and me, kid.” He stood up and swung his bag over his shoulder. “Look, why don’t you go shower and get yourself comfortable for the night? I’ll get to work on dinner. Vel will join us eventually, but I think eating here before we go out will be a nice change of pace. And fits with what you’re trying to do a bit better. Agreed?”
He saw me hesitate. 
“Oh no. You don’t get to tell me you’re not a fan of my cooking after all this. Come on, you can help.” He took me by the hand and pulled me to my feet. “Go shower, get yourself comfortable and meet me in the kitchen in twenty minutes. I’ll get the prepwork all done.” 
I watched as he strolled out of the room and closed the door behind him. Vox really did mean what he said- eating at home, supporting my choices. I took a quick shower and wrapped myself in my comfiest pajamas  before walking into the kitchen to join him.  
“You’re brave, cooking with Vox isn’t my idea of a good time.” Velvette said as I walked into the living room. “And come see me once he gets everything in the oven. I’ll do your hair while we wait.” 
“Hey! Come on over kid!” Vox said cheerfully as I stepped into the kitchen.
I popped myself up into the usual place on the counter. “Whatcha making?”
“Something yummy. Here, try this.” He stirred something in a pot and offered me the spoon. 
Again I hesitated but let him put the spoon in my mouth. Warmness, an spicy and sweet. It was delicious. 
“Damn, Vox- what is that?” I asked.
He beamed. “You like? It’s the sauce for the pasta. We’re having one of my personal favorites for dinner tonight, along with chicken and spinach meatballs and a big tossed salad. A few carbs, good protein, all the things your body is going to need to get back on track.” He stuck the spoon back in the pot and stirred.
“What can I do to help?” I asked as he moved fluidly around the kitchen. 
“You can sit there and talk to me. Information, kid. I want to know more about what they fed you, I want to know about how your day to day routine went. And I really want to know if you’ve ever heard the name Alastor.” His voice caught on the name. “And any information you have on him.”
I tried to think back. Vox had mentioned his name before and at the time, it hadn’t meant much to me. I was more wrapped up in the moment to pay much attention to the cause of his rage baking. But now that he mentioned it, the name was familiar. 
“Alastor. I know the name, I just don’t remember why.” I said finally. 
“So walk me through your day, maybe it will trigger something,” he answered eagerly. “Start with waking up. What did you day look like?”
My day? Depended on the age.
As soon as I was old enough to talk, my day started at four. Memories of my father in the kitchen, making sure I ate what he cooked. Days spent either in his office, or in the arms of one of his many “brothers”- my Uncles. If I wasn’t being taught a skill or concept, I was by their side.  I was on base constantly, a shadow to the soldiers. I learned how to eat, speak, breath, control, be controlled, clean, and act like one by process of diffusion. I knew nothing else. 
It wasn’t until I was old enough to dress myself that things began to change. Dad became stricter, and my focus shifted from tagging along to participating. Memories of one of my most favorite “Uncles” running alongside me, slowing his pace to mine. My father yelling at me to speed up. Training drills with my wings out, falling to the ground after a hard hit. Whining wasn’t tolerated. I learned how to take the beating and get back up as if nothing happened. 
That wasn’t to say I wasn’t taken care of in a sense. Nor was it all bad. My father wasn’t always completely harsh. But when we were on base, which was most of the time, his job was to train and lead. And that was his focus. Making strong soldiers. 
Vox was quiet as I talked him through the details.
“Did he ever offer you comfort? Was he ever kind?” He asked after a few moments of silence.
I shrugged. “I mean, sure. When I was little I would climb into his bed and cry out nightmares. Or he would put bandaids on boo boos. But it wasn’t exactly his strong point- some of the others had daughters and he was more than happy to let them handle the softer points.” 
Vox shook his head in disgust as he put a pan into the oven. “Kids deserve love. No wonder you have such a…”
“Fucked up idea of things? And Dad loved me, Vox. It was just a different kind of love.” 
“I don’t know if I would call that love, kid,” he answered. 
“Vox has a point, mi amore.” Valentino’s voice entered the room.
I turned my head and looked as Valentino walked into the kitchen. He kissed the top of my head. “Sorry I couldn’t be there when you woke up love.” 
I shrugged. “No big deal.”
“Can we get back to the whole kid who grew up without love thing, because that’s fucked up,” Velvette said as she joined us. She pulled herself up next to me.
I frowned. This conversation was quickly becoming incredibly uncomfortable. “It was love,” I protested. “Just a different kind of love.”
“Mmm, no, it wasn’t. But you’ll learn the difference, one way or another, eventually,” Valentino replied. 
He seemed to sense my unease because he immediately turned to Vox and changed the subject.
“What are you making, anyway? It smells good.” He gave Velvette a meaningful look and she jumped down from the counter.
“Hey, reader, let’s get you dressed for the night, its going to be a blast! Come on, I have the perfect outfit in mind!”
Grateful for the escape, I followed her down to her room.

Outside The Office Part Twenty Nine
Another examination and the careful removal of my IV later, I wrapped my arm around Valentino’s neck as we laid on our bed. I snuggled into him tightly and his arms fell around my waist.  
“Are you sleepy, princessa?” He asked as I nuzzled his neck. “It’s been a long day. You could nap before we go out tonight.”
“I mean I could. But I can think of something much, much more fun.” I leaned up and kissed his neck. “And you promised to let me explore all of you, Valentino. Wings. Demonic form. Now.”
He let out a soft groan. “So demanding. Princessa…why are you so…interested in my wings?”
“Because I want to know all of you. Love all of you. And I can’t do that if you don’t show me, Val.” I answered back. 
His expression darkened ever so slightly. “Why would you want that, princessa?” He sat up and wrapped his arms around me as his wings slowly unfurled. He tucked my head under his chin and ran his hand down my back. “I am not the angel you are, mi amore.”
I kissed him. “You love all the parts of me, and I’m not perfect. I want to give you the same sense of love and security you share with me.” I pushed myself on top of his lap and straddle him. “Trust me, Valentino. The way I’m so, so close to trusting you.”
“If that’s what you truly want, mi amore.”
I watched with fascination as the entirety of the transformation took place. At the end of it, he still looked like Valentino…just a different version of him. I ran my hands through the soft fluff around his neck and leaned up and buried my face into it. 
“Princessa?” His tone had switched from worried, to amused. “What are you doing?”
“Trying to show you that I know you won’t hurt me- not on a normal day, and not in your role as an overlord either.” I mumbled back. “Plus, it's super soft. I like it.”
“It’s also super sensitive, so be gentle,” he childed as I ran my fingers through it. 
“But your wings aren't?” I asked as I lifted my face up. 
He gave me a smile and I saw the glint of gold in his now razor sharp teeth. I should have been terrified, but instead I ran a finger down his jaw. 
“What’s the point of them? Of all this?” I asked. “I mean, does any of this serve a purpose?”
“I’m dangerous, princessa. Poison, toxic and more powerful in this form. The wings- the teeth. Hell, all of it is a warning to not fuck around with me. You should be terrified, mi amore. And yet…” 
He pressed a hand to the center of my chest. A pause while he waited. 
“Your body is telling me you’re as comfortable with me in this form as you are in my day-to-day. Why?”
I shrugged. “I trust you, Valentino.”
He looked at me and kept his hand on my chest as he leaned in and kissed me. “I love you, mi amore. Enough to do this to this only to you.” His voice dropped to a soft whisper. “If you become frightened, tell me. Your body won’t lie to me, princessa. I expect you won’t either.”
He pulled his hand away from my chest and laid me against him. I felt softness surround me. Darkness. A flash of red as his wings curled around, shielding me from the light and trapping me against his body. I exhaled slowly and closed my eyes as I allowed myself to sink against the warmth of his chest.  I felt two fingers wrap around my wrist and the sleepiness I felt earlier slowly began to reemerge.
“You’re not afraid, princessa. I have you wrapped in my wings, trapped against me with no way out- and your heart is as calm as when you lay next to me in bed. Why?” I heard him ask softly. “You should be terrified, not falling asleep.”
I bit back a yawn and nuzzled his chest. Between the warmth of his body heat and the total darkness, the feeling of sleepiness grew heavier.
 “You won’t hurt me, Valentino. You could have, time and time again, but you didn’t. You could have punished me for making a mistake, but you didn’t. You showed you love me, the whole of me, time and time again.” I bit back a yawn. “Mm…you don’t, you don’t frighten me Valentino. The only thing about you that frightened me is the fear of losing you.” 
He was quiet. I felt his hand release from my wrist and join the other that wrapped around my waist. I felt my eyelids grow heavier. 
“Rest, princessa.” I heard him say quietly. 
“How do you know I’m sleepy?” I mumbled.
“Your breathing slowed and you’re still. Stop fighting it. You can rest. It’s the best thing for your body, especially with how hard you’ve been pushing it.” I felt him hold me ever so slightly tighter. “And the drugs she gave you are probably still working their way out of your system.”
I felt his hand move up and slowly stroke my hair. I concentrated on the feeling, and the sound of his heart beating under my ear. The only sound in the cocoon of darkness. 
“Princessa, I want to warn you I may not be here when you awaken,” he softly. “I have work that needs to be handled. But I will be back, I promise you.”
I wanted to say okay, I wanted to tell him I believed him. Instead, sleep washed over me.

Outside The Office Part Twenty Eight
Hi all!
Take a peek at part twenty eight- enjoy and as always, feedback is welcome!
“I told you to stay away from her!” 
The anger in Valentino’s voice startled me awake. I shifted under a blanket that wasn’t there before and I tried to raise my arm to wipe the sleepiness away. I felt like I had been asleep for hours, and my entire body ached. I sat up slowly and looked around the room. The curtain was pushed back, and I watched as Valentino took a step towards the nurse. I didn’t need to see the absolute fury written on his face- his tone was more than enough.
“I told you I would be back, I told you to call me when she woke up and you not only ignored my orders, you ignored them because you fucking felt like it,” he snarled.
Red wings exploded from his back as he stepped closer to the nurse. I froze and watched in a mix of fear and fascination. I knew the Vee’s kept parts of them hidden, the darker parts, the parts that defined them as demons. But I never expected Valentino  to have wings hidden, well, like mine were. 
Come to think of it, I hadn’t taken my wings out since my arrival in hell. Or thought about them really. They were a part of me, but a part I kept hidden. And when I looked to Valentino’s 
 blood red, moth-like wings, I wondered if our reasons for tucking them away were similar. 
My thoughts were interrupted as Valentino stepped closer to the nurse and lifted her by the front of her too short dress. 
“Not only did you directly violate my orders, you violated my consent clause. And for that, our deal is done,” he continued. 
“I- I didn’t-” she began to plead. 
Valentino wasn’t having it. “You know damn well giving a patient, one entrusted in your care, drugs without medical cause or patient permission is a violation of consent.” His voice dropped to something darker, more dangerous. 
Above her head, a contract, similar to the one that appeared when I signed a soul on. I watched as it tore in half and Valentino’s gun came out. I knew better than to interfere this time.
A single shot. A smoking gun. A scream and the vanishing of her form. As if she had never existed.
Valentino turned around and I saw him for the first time in his full overlord form. Bright red wings spread out. White fluff around his neck, dotted with small black hearts. Sharp red teeth. And an expression that contained nothing but soulless rage. 
Behind his heart shaped glasses, our eyes met. Realization struck. In a moment, his form changed back to the Valentino I knew.
“Princessa, how much of that did you see?” He asked in what I assumed to be him attempting to be soothing.
“A-all of it.” I replied shakily. “What happened?”
He hesitated for a moment, as if unsure I would want him to come closer. I reached my arms out to him and he came right to my side and took my hand in his. 
“She gave you something- something to make you sleep. I trusted her to watch over you while I handled an issue, and, instead of notifying me when you woke up, she decided to keep you asleep. And then said things to me that don’t bear repeating, mi amore. So I made an example out of her to the rest of my staff. Just in case I haven’t made my position clear enough.” He pressed the palm of his hand to my forehead and studied me. “How do you feel, mi amore?”
“You have wings,” I said slowly. 
He let go of my hand. “I do. I’m sorry- I’m sorry you had to see that side of me, my love. I promise, I will never give you that anger- that rage, that power that you just witnessed.”
I studied him. For the first time in a long time, Valentino looked uneasy. And if I didn’t know Valentino as well as I did, I would even suggest he looked uncomfortable. Uncomfortable, Valentino- those two words didn’t belong in the same sentence. 
“I have them too, you know.” I began as I searched for the words that would show him I was comfortable with him. That I trusted him. That I wasn’t afraid of what I had seen.  “Wings, I mean.Haven’t thought much of them since, well, since I got down here. We really only used them in battle, otherwise they’re a liability. Easy to tell I’m an angel if my wings are out, right?” I knew I was beginning to ramble. “Can you control that side of you? Do you control when they come out, how much of you changes in your…other form?”
“I control it all,” he answered slowly. “Princessa, I-”
“I want to see it again. That side of you. Even- even just your wings.” I interrupted. “Show me. Please? I know- I know you won’t hurt me.” 
He gave me a wary look but sighed. “As you wish.”
He took a step back and his wings sprang forth from his back, casting a dark shadow over where I sat. He watched me carefully, waiting for my reaction. 
“They’re…beautiful..” I breathed. “Do they feel pain? Are they sensitive? Are they flexible?”
If he seemed uneasy before, my line of questions definitely caught him off guard. 
“Yes, yes, and yes?” He answered. “I mean, I wouldn’t appreciate them being yanked on, but I also…I also don’t think it would hurt me if you touched them.” 
“Can I?” I asked. “Touch them, I mean.”
I waited for him to nod before I reached out and ran my fingers over just the edges. They felt silky smooth, soft and rigid all at the same time. Much, much different than the sharp feathers that made up mine.
“Mine are different. Really different.  I’ll show you someday, I don’t think…I mean, I think I’m too tired to call them forward. That happens sometimes.” I said softly as I began to trace the bright heart shaped pattern. “Hearts for love?”
“You’re not sacred, Princessa?” He asked softly. “You’re not terrified by what you just saw? By what I just looked like- by what I just did?”
“No. You would never hurt me,” I replied carefully as I leaned my body forward to move my hands down his wings. “You’ve proven that, more so today than ever before. I trust you, Val.”
His expression softened. “Princessa.” He took another step forward. “To answer your question, yes- hearts for love.” 
 I ran my hands down to the base of his wings. To love someone meant to love every part of them- good, the bad. The beautiful.The ugly. He loved me enough to want to care for me, even when I made shitty decisions. He loved me, despite my scars, my emotions, my fears. He embraced every part of who I was- and I wanted to do the same. I tried to sit up, the wave of exhaustion flowed through me. 
I saw his wings begin to retract as he came closer. 
“No, Val.” I pleaded. “Keep them out.”
He balked. “Princessa, I want to hold you. I don’t want…”
“Does it cause you pain to sit with them out?”
“No, they don’t feel pain.” He answered softly.
“Then hold me. Don’t hide them away…”
He shook his head. “Let me get you upstairs, mi amore. Then if you so badly want to explore this side of me, I will allow you to. But right now, I want you out of my studio and into our bedroom.” His wings vanished from sight. “Can you agree to that, princessa?” 
I absolutely could.

This isn't a request it's more of a statement but a few weeks ago, but I looked at your profile picture, and why do the edges of Val's eyes look like nostriles??? I can't unsee it and it makes him look so less intimidating also this is the same anon that sent in the thing about waiting patiently for reader to give Val head. Also isn't reader a angel so she has wings right? I'm pretty sure she would the other angels would be pretty suspicious if she didn't right? idk this is turning a rant idk if this even makes sense but have an amazing day and remember to drink water! I've said idk a lot wow anyways I cant wait for the next chapter! Also can i be🧃anon?
Thank you so much for your comments!! Lots to address so I’ll try to do so as consistently as possible.
1) I have no idea that Val looked like that- I chose a random photo when I opened my account and never looked again. I will try to find a different pic!
2) I hope the chapter I wrote that into came out to your liking! If not let me know I can do a one shot!
3) Her wings are brought up in the next few chapters and explained why no one has seen them or talked about them yet.
4) I have zero idea what a 🧃anon is so any elaboration would be helpful!
******SO I DID SOME RESEARCH*********
- If you are asking to be 🧃 anon as far as that’s your icon, yes! Absolutely! Sign yourself off as 🧃 and I’ll know it’s the same anon ❤️❤️ You’re my first one fyi!!
If you want to DM me feel free to! I am always open to discussions and thoughts! I’m new to this whole webpage, so I appreciate all conversations and feedback!
Thanks for the reminder to drink water….I need to refill my water bottle!!! ❤️
(And because I’m updating I’m 90 oz in #rockinit)

Outside The Office Part Twenty Seven
NOTE: Important plot info in this part! Enjoy!
Valentino looked at Lucifer, back to me, and then back to Lucifer. I squeezed his hand as hard as I could. 
“Lucifer, if it’s all the same to you, I think I’ll stay,” he replied calmly. 
He offered no further explanation. The locked eyes for a moment and finally, Lucifer rolled his eyes. 
“Fine. Whatever. Stay if you feel so strongly about it.” Lucifer looked me up and down. “I want an explanation from you, reader. Now.” He crossed his arms. 
I went into the same speech I gave Vox and Val, and continued on to repeat what they had told me in response. 
“How did you find out anyway? Did Vox tell you?” I demanded at the end of my story.
He stared at me. “Did you…think I wouldn’t? No, reader, Vox didn’t tell me- he didn’t have to. But how I found out is besides the point.” Lucifer closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. “I honestly can’t decide what’s worse- that you see this fucked up method as normal, or that you didn’t tell any of us before jumping into something that physically hurts you.” He opened his eyes and set his jaw. “Angels are fucking insane. Listen, you can be fit and strong down here but your limits are less than half of what your angelic limits were.” 
“What about my demonic abilities? What are my strengths?” I asked. “Com’on there has to be some sort of trade off.” I tried to sit up but again, Valentino’s hand kept me down. 
“Not yet,” he muttered to me. 
Lucifer didn’t seem to notice. “Fighting. Fucking. Making deals that increase that core power you wield. The door is wide open, princess. Find your passion and run with it.” 
“My passion is….” I let my voice trail off. “I guess I never thought about it? I was always supposed to be the next head general. Then Adam came along and wrecked that.” 
Both Valentino and Lucifer looked at me. Valentino amused, Lucifer irritated. 
“So….leadership?” Valentino asked, as thought it was obvious. 
“Yeah but I won’t rule hell. That role is currently filled.”
Lucifer shrugged. “You will one day. One day in the far off future. Very far off future. But as of right now, we have to get you fighting ready. War is coming, reader. I need you ready for it.”
“Do you wanna fill me in on the big picture here?” I asked. “Because you never really explained to me why you wanted to do the assessment the other day, only that you needed to.”
Valentino gave Lucifer a look. “You really are intent on keeping her in the dark, aren't you? If she’s the key, she deserves to know the whole truth. The whole story.” 
If Lucifer was angry at Valentino’s words, he didn’t show it.
“Fine. Let’s start at the top then. Do you know how hell came to be?” Lucifer asked. 
I shook my head. “No. Dad taught me it exists to hold all that is evil.”
Lucifer barked a laugh. “Of course he did. Well, he’s half right. This is going to be a long conversation, isn’t it?”
A chair materialized and he sat down in it. Valentino leaned over and carefully helped me sit up. He hit a button and behind me, the bed raised. 
“Now, lean back,” he instructed. “There. Comfortable?”
I nodded.
“Good. Then let's begin.” Lucifer said as he clapped his hands together. “Here is the short history of us, hell and how we- you came to be. Reader, your mother and I royally pissed off our all powerful creator, and as such, we were cast down to hell to rule over all human sinners, and demons created from the evil of the world.”
“Wait, what did you do to piss them off?” I asked. 
Lucifer laughed. “That part is unimportant.”
I doubted that but Lucifer continued on.
“The angels didn’t expect the population of hell to swell, to grow to the point where there became more beings down here than up there. So the angels, ever so afraid of an uprising, came down and began to exterminate all the sinners they could….keep us in check, so to speak. Remember, angels can only survive down here for twenty four hours before the darkness begins to consume them.” 
He paused for a moment and took a breath. For the first time, I saw something I hadn’t yet seen cross Lucifer’s face. Pain? Exhaustion? It stayed as he continued his story. 
“On the battlefield, Lilith met your father and standing on the brink of extinction, she and he came to an agreement. She would return to hell with him in exchange for a contract limiting angels to visiting once a year. A contract now void at the arrival of the next extermination day, simply because both signers are dead. Once that date passes, there is nothing preventing them from coming back each twenty four hour period and killing in waves.”
He paused again and looked at me.
“Six months is all we have until the next date the angels should be here. But this, this is where you come in. I need you to be strong enough, to have enough power to combine both your angelic half and demonic half and seal the portal they open. Trap every angel down here, and slaughter them. Send a message that we have you on our side, and make them decide to never, ever participate in an extermination ever again. I would seal it myself but….” he hesitated. “I’m not convinced I have enough left of my angelic side to do so.”
He stood up. The chair vanished and he began to pace. “In short, I need three things from you. I need you strong enough to prevail in the inevitable fight, I need you willing to try your damndest to seal that portal and…” he stopped his feet and looked at me. “I need you to be willing to take command over the new souls you sign on. The contract I created has a little extra clause in it. 
A clause that makes them members of my own demonic army, and forces them to obey both my command and yours without hesitation or question. In addition to continuing to grow that army, I need you to step up and take command of it. Command of the entire demonic military, to be exact.” His voice turned tired. “ I  just, reader, I quite honestly I just don’t have time to give it the attention it needs. Or the military experience that you do have.”
He sat down on the other side of the bed next to me. “So how about it?  How would you like to flex those leadership skills? Take over as second in command, which if I’m being honest, is the primary command in real life. But as leader of hell, I’m also head general of my own military unit but that’s just titles.”
“Wait, you’re offering me a job?” I asked. 
He shrugged and looked to Valentino. “More or less.  If of course, its contingent on your behavior over the next two weeks. Show me better judgment. Because in all honesty, even for my sister's child you are the most incredible pain in the ass- which is to say you’re just like her. And I think you need to keep busy or you sink into the self destructive tendencies that angels are so prone to. It makes them ideal soldiers, but I’d like to spare you that fate if possible.” He stood back up. “So, what do you say?”
What did I say?
My mind reeled as I tried to process the new information. I looked at Valentino and he squeezed my hand again. 
“I think it would be good for you, princessa. Something to keep you occupied. Something familiar, but this time- something you control.” Valentino said encouragingly.
“I need a place. I need equipment. I need housing and room to train these souls.” I said slowly.
Lucifer waved his hand. “Not an issue. I can…”
“What if we remodeled the third floor?” Valentino interrupted with a look at Lucifer. “I am willing to sacrifice that portion of my studio if it means keeping her in house.“ 
“That could work,” Lucifer agreed. “I’d prefer to have eyes on anyway. Demons can be nasty- sinners even moreso, and while I don’t doubt you could lay them down, reader, I’d prefer not to have you do so by yourself.”
“There is also the issue of devising a training plan that won’t kill them,” I added. “Otherwise, they’ll end up like me.”
“That will be the easiest part. Vox has all their data, he can use that to derive the most optimal plan, and subdivide that so the recruits are sorted categorically. We really need to pull him into this conversation.” Lucifer glanced at his watch and then looked at me. “Let this be our plan moving forward- something for you to focus on. Getting this all sorted and together will take about two weeks. During that time rest- get in the habits that will help you grow stronger. I will reassess your physical strength then. In the meantime, we’ll move forward with getting everything set so when you show me just how well you can fight, how well you’ve taken care of your body, you’ll be set to begin right away. Got it?” 
“Got it.” I nodded. 
Valentino stood up and swapped to another bag of fluids. Lucifer gave me a stern look. 
“You need to learn how to balance the two halves of yourself, my dear. Trial and error is a part of this, but communication is even larger. If you’re wondering about if you should do something, or even if you recognize that this is how you would do it in your previous life- talk.. You have my number- use it. Ask Vox, ask Velvette, as Valentino- use us as a guide. No one is here to watch you fail. And no one here will tolerate you hurting yourself. Understood?”
“Maybe it wouldn’t have gone this far if you hadn’t insulted her,” Valentino said sharply. He shifted himself ever so slightly as he looked to Lucifer. “That is something I won’t tolerate. Ever again.”
Lucifer raised an eyebrow. “Is this in reference to my comment on her body?”
“Yes. Don’t let it happen again.” He responded coldly. 
I expected Lucifer to get angry, for his power to pulse through the room. But all he did was shrug. 
“Fair point, I suppose.” Lucifer leaned down and kissed the top of my head. “Make better choices, I have to go.”
And with that he vanished. 
I looked at Valentino. “You heard about that?”
“Heard about it? I was furious, mi amore. I would have called him up, consequences be damned, if Velvette hadn’t talked me down. You’re perfect, princessa. No matter how your body changes.” He sat down next to me and I reached for him. He shifted himself and me so that my head was against his chest. 
I nuzzled him and closed my eyes. My Valentino. My Valentino stood up for me- again. He really did love me. 
“Rest, you’ve got about another hour or so of laying here. Might as well get some sleep. You’ve got to be exhausted.” He said softly as he shifted me in his arms. “I’ve got you.”
I let that feeling of safety wash over me. In his arms, I couldn’t fight the exhaustion, both physically and mental. I let sleep wash over me as I snuggled tightly against him.

I just read your latest one shot and I got this crazy brainrot. What if Lucifer's eldest fell? An angel who never knew of hell or evil, who fell because of her undying curiosity of it?
Oh gosh this took a hot minute- so sorry I'm behind on requests! This follows the first request of similar nature and will probably end up being a multi-part series if it gets good feedback and folks enjoy it! It was fun to write- I love switching POV's!
She didn’t understand why her father wouldn’t let her learn about hell. 
“But Dad, isn’t it better for me to understand, to avoid?” She pleaded the first time she was caught in his library. Digging through books she had no business being in, Adam lifted her up and cast her across the room carelessly. 
“Honor thy father and mother,” her father responded casually. “So stay the fuck away from those books because I said so. Got it?”
He walked away without another care in the world. Honestly, he probably didn’t. At the ripe age of seventeen, reader had learned If it wasn’t related to his girlfriend or his dick, her father simply wasn’t interested. 
Not that the idea was a new realization for her. Her father treated her with immense disdain. Her entire childhood had been a mix of severe punishment, harsh words, and next to no praise. She remembered standing, waiting outside the school door, reading alone for hours until he eventually showed up to take her home. 
But his mistreatment didn’t stop her burning thirst for knowledge. Given the copious amounts of alone time, she snuck into his library and read all there was to know about the angels- about their history. About the creation of humanity. She had gotten her hands on the final book the night Adam caught her. With this one final act of disobedience, and the stark ignorance of the newly formed angelic council, her father himself ripped her halo off and cast her into the pits of hell. 
Now as she stood alone in the dusty streets, the stench of poverty and failure wrapped her in a chokehold. Aimlessly, she wandered, desperately trying to find her way back to heaven. Back to her home. 
“Child? Art thou alone?” She heard a voice behind her. 
Her eyes fell to the tallest creature she had ever seen. He spoke in an accent, oldest than even the eldest angels. His robe was cooked in black, and save for the patched of green that outlined his face and his body, he could have been a shadowy. She looked down at the tattered remnants of her white gown. She supposed she was, but had enough sense to deny it vehemently.  After all, hell was evil and no one down here meant anything good. 
“I don’t believe thou,” the strange man answered. “Come, child. Allow me to return you to your home. Where you belong.” 
His hand wrapped in shadows around her upper arm and before she could protest, she felt herself yanked forward, wind rushed around her. She closed her eyes, terror sinking into her heart. This was death, she was sure of it. 
This was the hell her father spoke of.

Outside The Office Part Twenty Six
I stepped into his studio as he was screaming at the cast on stage. His head turned around at the sound of the elevator stopping and his expression went from fearsome to soft in the span of a heartbeat. 
“My princessa, what are you doing here?” He asked as he stood up and strode over to me. His arm fell over my shoulder and he guided me away from the stage, towards his office. “I don’t think you’ll want to see this particular scene. Tell me, did you do all the work Vox had for you?” 
“Val, I need to talk to you,” I whispered shakily. “Please?”
“Anything, princessa. Behind closed doors.” 
He turned around and hollered for his actors to take twenty. I didn’t have the chance to look behind me, but I could hear their footsteps scatter about. Together, we stepped into his office and he closed and locked the door behind us. 
“What’s wrong, mi amore?” He asked gently. His fingers brushed against my cheek as he studied my expression. “Did someone hurt you?”
“No one hurt me, except me..” I began. It all spilled out. The failure with Lucifer. My feelings. My insecurity. My disorted, fucked up workouts. Throwing out breakfast. When I had exhausted all my admissions, I waited for him to yell, to scream. To leave me, a problem to toss aside. 
He didn’t do any of that. 
Instead, he folded me into his arms and cradled me against his chest.
“I am so glad you shared this with me, my love.” He said softly. “Thank you.” He pressed his lips to my forehead, and pulled me back by my shoulders so his eyes met mine.  “Sweetheart, I won’t hurt you, I promise. But I also can’t let you hurt yourself. You understand that, right, princessa?” 
Here it came. The punishment. I closed my eyes and braced myself against his grasp. He would yell at me. Leave me. Insult me. I was sure of it. 
“So tomorrow, we’ll get up early and go to the gym together. I may not be able to workout alongside you, but at the very least I can get paperwork done while you do your thing. You said Vox gave you a workout plan?” 
I opened my eyes and stared at him. Where was the yelling, the threat to leave? The punishment I was so used to?
“That’s it? You’re just going to…come with me? Spend extra time with me?” I asked slowly. 
It was his turn to look confused. “Well…yes, Princessa. If you’re having a hard time, I’m not going to leave you alone to fight that battle by yourself. Did you have a different expectation in mind?”
Yes. I did. And again, Valentino proved his point. He wouldn’t hurt me. 
“I…I was expecting…”
“Harshness and lack of empathy?” He raised an eyebrow but kissed my forehead. “Sorry to disappoint, mi amore. Though I also think it’s a good idea for you to be checked out by our on duty nurse practitioner. Just to be on the safe side and I would feel better, given what you’ve gone through. Can you agree to that?” 
I hesitated but agreed after a moment. I wasn’t exactly in the position to negotiate. 
He led me out of his office, his hand in mine. A quick turn to the left and he pushed open a door. Inside were several hospital beds, a couple of pieces of equipment. Countertops lined the exterior, carefully labeled for ease of access to the contents inside. The entire room was brightly lit and smelled like antiseptic. 
“Why do you have this in a porn studio?” I asked as he guided me to a bed. 
“Two reasons. One- There is a kink for that. We shoot in here on occasions. Other times, our actors have….difficulties that require medical intervention. It’s more convenient just to handle it in house.” He answered as if it was totally normal. “Take a seat on the bed.” 
I grimaced. “Are you sure it’s safe to sit down?” 
He rolled his eyes and pushed on my shoulders lightly so I sat at the end of the bed. “It’s clean, princessa. More so than I’m sure most hospitals are. Put the gown on.” He pointed to a folded pile of cloth and gave me a look. “Now. And Stay here, I’ll go get the nurse.” He pulled a curtain shut behind him as he walked away. 
I did as he instructed, and waited for less than a moment before he reappeared, followed by a demon who looked more like a porn star than a nurse. Her long dark hair flowed down to her waist and her eyes were a bright green color. She had a slender build and wore stilettos and a white dress with a red cross stitched on the pocket- both completely inappropriate for nursing. I felt a twinge of envy as I watched the familiar way she spoke with Valentino, that got even worse when she smiled. She ran her hand down his arm for a fraction of a second.
“Does anything hurt?” She cooed, more to him than to me. “Val filled me in on the details.” She snapped on a blue pair of gloves. 
A flush of embarrassment at my current appearance, quickly replaced by anger. I scowled at her. How dare she put her hands on my Valentino? 
He seemed to recognize my expression and amusement flitted across his face. He pointedly bent down and kissed the top of my head. 
“Answer the nurse honestly, my Princessa. Does anything hurt?”
“No.” I replied shortly. “I’m only here because you wanted me to get checked out.” 
He didn’t even try to hide his amusement. “Don’t be snarky, mi amore.” 
“Alrighty then, open wide for me.” The nurse responded. “And say ah.” 
I couldn’t have disliked this situation more than I already did. Unlike Valentino, or even the doctors who examined me with Lucifer, she gave no indication of softness. No warning when the pressed the stethoscope to my chest. She didn’t ask permission- she simply instructed, pulled, pressed and yanked. Anxiety knotted in my stomach. It felt more like an annual exam I would have gotten in the angelic military than a routine checkup. Finally, she pulled away. 
“Depending on how through you want to be, I can suggest we schedule several of the more invasive tests for her later on this week. But from first glance, she seems fine. I would suggest at minimum taking blood and monitoring her vitals over the course of the next week,” she said to Valentino with a surly smile. 
I looked at Valentino. He reached over, took my hand, and squeezed it gently. The nurse gave me a look. One Valentino seemed to notice. His demeanor shifted. Something darker, more dismissive.
“Blood work will be enough, Luisa.” He replied sharply. “No need to schedule anything else. And  I can pull her blood myself. Just bring me the supplies.” 
She gave me a reproachful look but nodded and stood up. She dug through the drawer next to the bed and laid the supplies on the small countertop.  
“That will be all Lusia.” Valentino said coldly. “Leave us.”
I watched as she skittered out the door. He stood up and tugged the curtain back closed. I felt my heart give a little jump and I reached out to take his hand. My Valentino. 
He squeezed my hand gently and then released. “Let me see your arm, mi amore,” he said as he snapped on the blue gloves.
I offered him the arm closest to him. His fingers traced the crook of my elbow and he frowned. “You haven’t given me much to work with here, princessa. Let me see the other arm.” 
I showed him. He shook his head and compared them side by side. Finally, he sighed. 
“You are extremely dehydrated, mi amore. When was the last time you drank water or a Sweet Sixteen?” He tied a rubber tourniquet over the top of my arm. 
“I had water with Vox when we had lunch.”
“Mmm. I’m tempted to let you sit here with a bag of fluids before I even attempt to take blood,” he replied as he released the tourniquet and gently pressed on the veins. “Be still. I’m going to try to only do this once.” 
I closed my eyes and looked away. I felt the coolness of the antiseptic, and a pinch. I closed my eyes tighter as a wave of nausea and dizziness ran over me. Maybe those fluids weren't such a bad idea. 
“You can look now, it's in. Sit tight, I’m going to run a line.” 
I heard the sound of him pulling off his gloves and the rustle of the curtain. His footsteps as they came back to me. A tug as my arm, and finally, his voice again. 
“Princessa? You’re all set. You should start to feel better in a few minutes.” Valentino said softly.
I felt his lips press against mine and his hand gently squeeze my wrist. I opened my eyes and he gave me another kiss.
“Rest, princessa. You need not be so rough on yourself,” he continued gently. 
“Being easy on myself isn’t exactly in my nature,” I replied.
He raised an eyebrow, but whatever he was about to say was interrupted by a rush of familiar power that cut through the room like a knife. Valentino’s hand pressed against my shoulder, preventing me from sitting up. 
“I mean, you’re half right,” Lucifer said drily as at the base of the bed. “Though even I thought that your logical sense was stronger than you proved it to be.” Lucifer looked at Valentino. “Can you give my sweet, naive, stupid niece and I a moment?” Lucifer asked. “We need to chat.” 
Ah shit.

Outside The Office Chapter Twenty Five
TW: Reader faces consequences of her self injurious actions.
I tiptoed over the metal pathway that guided people over Vox’s massive shark tanks. Part of me knew it was fully  enclosed and totally safe. But the other part of me still feared falling in- the ending for that wouldn’t be pretty. Around me, screens lined the walls leading to his primary office. I stepped into the circular room.Only one chair sat smack in the middle- his. 
“Welcome, welcome, reader,” Vox said as he turned his chair around. He clasped his hands together. “So glad you could make it.”
That unsettled feeling rushed through my gut. Vox knew, he had to. Otherwise what was this? 
“I have something interesting to show you.” Vox said calmly as he stood up. “Com’here. Take a seat.” 
I took a step back and he shook his head. I heard the metal of the door slide shut behind me. 
Fuck.
“I mean, you could try to back out ,kid, but then I would have to go straight to Lucifer and Valentino and honestly, what would that get you?” Vox continued in a rather unbothered voice. 
He had a point. Hesitantly, I took the proffered seat, half expecting to be strapped down like a horror movie. That didn’t happen, thankfully. Vox hit a button and all the screens but the biggest went black. Data flashed in front of me. Pulse rate. Respiration rate. Blood oxygen Level.  Blood pressure. EKG chart. Temperature. Blood glucose level. Hydration level. Weight. A mix of numbers. 
“See, what’s interesting about these numbers,” Vox said as his hands pressed heavily against my shoulder. “Is that they’re drastically different from just a few days ago.” 
Another screen popped up. Higher numbers in some areas. Lower in the other. 
I swallowed as I looked at the vital signs on the two screens. I decided at that moment that playing dumb was my best option.  
“So? What am I looking at?” I asked. Even to me, my voice sounded shaky. 
Vox had the nerve to chuckle. “Oh, princess, you know exactly what you’re looking at. But if we’re going to play that game, I have another video to show you. Several actually.” 
Double fuck.  
I watched the flash. One showed myself at the gym that morning, knelt over the garbage can. Another showed me tossing away breakfast. Another of me played quickly as I went through that morning’s routine, going to the gym, coming home, showering, Vox and I in the kitchen, talking. Me, scribbling in my notebook the day before, outlining my plan. 
“You know what’s even stranger? I specifically asked you if you had eaten lunch and yet…I can’t find you doing so anywhere in the video. So either my technology is faulty, or you lied to me.” He leaned down closer, “And I promise you, my cameras aren't the issue.” 
God fucking damn it. 
Vox dropped the notebook into my lap. “Open in. Tell me where any why you think this little plan of yours is a good one. Come on, reader, I want to know.” 
His voice was dark. Dangerous. Terrifying. This wasn’t my Vox, this was…Vox as an overlord. I swallowed. “Vox, this is the plan verbatim for new recruits, I used to do it to…”
“I know all that.” He waved his hand dismissively. “That data has been in my harddrive for years, that isn’t what I’m asking. I want to know why YOU thought it was a good idea to put YOURSELF through it, knowing that your powers are growing, knowing there is a difference- especially for you- between what you could do in heaven and hell, and probably most importantly, why you KNEW it was so terrible that you felt the need to hide it and yet, still did it anyway.”
I didn’t think I could feel any smaller. “I wanted to be stronger. I just, I knew you guys hate the way angels do things so I thought I just…”
“Would do it anyway?” He rubbed his forehead in frustration. “Kid, we despise how they act because what’s normal to you is incredibly cruel in actuality. You’re honestly lucky I paid attention because if you let this go longer, Valentino’s anger would be the least of your worries. Look how little it took to fuck up your vitals. A few days of stress induced vomiting and here we are.” His voice softened. “The question is now, how are we going to handle this? Because I won’t let you keep doing this to yourself.” 
I looked at him in confusion. “Why are you asking me that? Aren't you just going to tell Valentino and Lucifer and let them handle it?”
He shrugged, “I mean, that’s an option you could choose. But I don’t think it needs to go that far, at least, not right now. So I’ll make a deal with you.”
I hesitated. “What kind of deal?” 
He squeezed my shoulders. “The kind that doesn’t harm you. I need a few things if this is going to stay between us. I need you to eat. I need those vitals to improve. And I need to never, ever see you push yourself that hard ever again. You can work out in moderation, and eat healthy but you cannot break yourself time and time again. The next time it happens, I won’t be the only one who knows. Understood?” 
I nodded in defeat. The crushing feeling of self loathing settled over me like a cloud of darkness. But another part of me, a very, very small part, was glad that I had been seen.
“Oh, and if your vitals don’t improve the deal is off. Lucifer will know and Valentino will know, and I’ll take you down to the hospital myself. And trust me, you won’t like what they do to you there.” His eye swirled for half a second and then he blinked. His tone lightened and he clasped one hand on my shoulder. “Let’s start with lunch, shall we?” 
I glanced back at him in both disbelief and fear. “Wait a second. Let me get this straight- you’re keeping this between us? You’re not tattling on me?”
Vox shrugged. “I see no reason to make this a bigger deal than it needs to be. I sincerely don’t think any long term harm will come to you because I caught you so early. You’re not fighting me on it, you acknowledged the issue. You have to trust someone in here, sweetheart. And for whatever reason, you don’t feel yet that you can trust your boyfriend's reaction. So at the very least, trust mine.” He offered his hand and he pulled me to my feet. “Now come on, let’s get you back on the right track. I know a place that has the most amazing salads. And I have one of my employees building an appropriate, data driven workout plan that should get you where you want to be in a much healthier way.” 
As I followed him out the door I wondered if this was what it felt like to have an older brother, or maybe a parent who cared enough to notice when things weren't quite right. And even moreso, who cared enough to listen and call me out on my bullshit when I backtracked. Whereas my father would have been thrilled I pushed myself that hard, Vox clearly wasn’t. But instead of the harsh punishments, he offered a compromise. He offered safety, and trust in a drastically different way than Valentino did. 
Lunch alone with Vox further proved my point. True to his word, the restaurant he took me to did have the best salads, and after eating a sufficient amount, he walked me back to the apartment. Before he left, he handed me a thin file- the workout plan he promised. 
“No one will be angry you’re trying to get stronger. But no one will stand for you to hurt yourself either,” he warned before embracing me in a hug. “It gets better, kid. You don’t have to be that perfect little angel ever again- you can let that go.” 
I didn’t know how to respond. 
Alone in the apartment, his words echoing in my mind, there  was one lingering thing still bothering me. Valentino. Vox was right, I didn’t feel like I could tell him when this all began. Maybe part of me feared his punishment. No, that wasn’t what I was afraid of. I feared his rejection. 
But the Vee’s were close. All it would take was one slip of a video from Vox to Valentino, or one accidental mention and all of this would come spilling out. Would his reaction be worse if he found I kept it from him longer than I already had? I decided I wouldn’t take that chance. 
I stepped back into the elevator and hit the button to Valentino’s studio. I needed to do this now, while I had the nerve.

Hiya! If you still have requests open can I get a Velvette x reader one shot, angst to comfort.
Reader having had enough of her attitude and lack of care/effort so they decide to end the relationship and leave. She starts off fine like nothing is wrong and they'll come crawling back, but she starts to notice not having someone supportive around and ends up missing them. See if she can win them back.
Hi there!
I wasn't QUITE sure where to go with this one, but I decided to stick with platonic reader x Velvette. If you were looking for something different, please let me know! For now- enjoy the story!
She honestly didn’t think she would miss her. 
Velvette couldn’t be sure when she first noticed her presence- or more specifically, her lack thereof. Nor could she pinpoint the exact moment that reader became a presence in her studio. 
It started off small. A shy little thing that turned bright red when asked to change outfits in front of others. Someone whose hair had never been trimmed, let alone styled. Who, unlike all the other highly acclaimed models that sauntered in and out as if they owned the place, barely made her presence known. 
Hard to believe this overly modest creature was the alleged future princess of hell. 
When she first arrived, the big man himself visited the three of them- he offered both money and  threats to keep reader happy, but more importantly, to keep her safe. It wasn’t a stretch to believe that the Vee empire was the safest place in all of hell. And between Voxtech, Valentino’s sex dungeon and her studio, the obvious safest place within for her to be was with Velvette. 
What a pain, she had thought, when she first met reader. Even for an angel she was plain- her only real defining feature was the blonde hair- unheard of in hell- and those baby blue eyes. The rest of it? 
Really not much to work with. 
But not impossible. And with reader being who she was, Velvette couldn’t exactly turn down the opportunity. Reader was lucky to be here, to be fixed at her hands. Slowly, painfully, she transformed reader into something beautiful- a face and body worthy of the future princess of hell. 
Velvette wasn’t one to coax, and she certainly didn’t tolerate complaining. The fashion industry was cutthroat, after all. Something reader didn’t seem to understand. 
It was more so her attitude than her looks that made her one of Velevttes hardest cases. Modesty was the core of her beliefs, and it took a good six months before she would allow herself to be photographed in anything less than long sleeves and pants. And almost a year before she could dress her with skin showing just to walk into Vox’s office, or  out to Valentino’s clubs. 
She supposed she had Valentino to thank for some of her relenting.  After all, he was doing her- practically unheard of for an angel, but true nonetheless. 
Not that that changed the fact that at the core, reader was stubborn, outright defiant, and outspoken in a way that reminded Velvette of herself. But unlike Velvette, she bent more easily than she broke, and Velvette would finally have her way, come hell or high water.
Until she didn’t. 
“I’m not being photographed in that,” reader snapped as she tossed the skirt and top aside. “What will the citizens of hell say?”
“That you have style? Oh come on reader, enough of this modesty shit you have going on. Show some skin.” Velvette snapped back. It had already been a long day- and the last thing she needed was this refusal. 
“No. You need to respect my boundaries, Vel.”
Velvette swore she saw red. Boundaries? If she maintained her boundaries she would have never looked as good as she she currently did. It was Velvette’s encouragement, Velvette’s hand that created her beauty. Reader owed her. 
“I made you,” Velvette’s words were out of her mouth before she could stop them. But it felt good, with each statement she spewed the rage and frustration she had been biting back all day. “I took you from ugly little, scrawny thing, hid those nasty scars and fixed your features in a way only I can do. The very least you can do is shut the fuck up and show it off.”
The look on readers face showed she had pushed her too far. Instantly, Velvette felt a tinge of regret. Wordlessly, reader stepped off the stage and walked towards the hallway, slamming the door behind her. 
She dared walk out on her for telling the truth? Fuck her too, Velvette thought. She didn’t need her. She didn’t need anyone. Not now, not ever. 
Velvette busied herself in her work. After all, even without reader she had a magazine to put together. One that wouldn’t wait for anyone, not even her. 
“Vel, what happened?” Valentino’s voice came from behind as she scrambled to stitch the last bit onto what was supposed to be reader’s outfit. With each move of the needle her anger grew- she even made sure to accommodate her curves, and reader couldn’t even be bothered to wear them. 
“I got sick of her shit, that’s all.” The words were out of Velvette’s mouth before she could stop them. “She’s an overdramatic, crybaby bitch.” 
“You don’t mean that,” Valentino responded easily. He blew a puff of his signature red smoke and looked around the studio. “You know she grew up in a different world than which we live, amicico.” 
“She’s been here long enough. And besides, she’s not welcome down here anymore. Princess can go to hell for all I care.” Velvette snapped back. 
Valentino shrugged and turned away. “Moot to point out that she’s already here. Your choice, I suppose.” 
Velvette glared as he sauntered away, probably to go comfort the little cunt. She turned her attention back to her work. Fuck her, and fuck him too. 
Disaster after disaster delayed her the rest of the shoot. It was well after ten by the time Velvette trudged into her bedroom and kicked off her stilettos. She threw herself into her bed, and tossed and turned as she went through the events of the day, her mind unwilling to shut off. Why was she so upset by this? It made her life easier, honestly, not having to tailor everything to fit her weird size, or mix foundation to match her pale ass complexion. So why was she so bothered by it? 
Her bad mood followed her through the next day, and the day after that. Slowly, her anger began to fade as she realized just what a clusterfuck this entire thing was. Gone were dinners together, the four of them. Gone were late night talks, and the pacts to stick to each other. Hell, gone was her bathroom buddy- girls never did, go alone. 
Without a clue on how to handle things, Velvette made it a point to stay late each night, simply so she didn’t have to face reader. 
“You could just apologize, you know.” Vox suggested when Velvette approached him. “Even for you, that was pretty nasty. And it’s not like you pay her- she’s your friend.” 
The word pinged Velvette’s heart. A friend. Flashes of them giggling together over silly jokes, of commenting on the boy’s hobbies and habits that only they were privy to. Of collapsing on each other's beds to complain about the boys in a way only girls could. 
As she stood in the studio later that night, she realized just what had gone that week. It was the smiles, the inside jokes that she and reader shared that made her job bearable in a way it had never been before, and certainly wasn’t now. 
But apologizing was never her strong suite. She wasn’t even sure where to begin. 
“At the beginning,” Vox had suggested. “Just start with sorry, that’s your foot in the door.” He had shrugged. “One simple sorry. And go from there. You’ll be fine.” 
Locking her office door behind her earlier than she had all week, Velvette took a deep breath. The ride to the top floor was agonizingly long, and right up until her fist hesitated outside of readers bedroom door, she worried. 
What if she ignores me?
What if she doesn’t accept my apologies? 
What if she doesn’t want to come back to my studio?
Or worse, what if she didn’t want to be her friend anymore? 
The thought sent a sickening feeling through her body. Only one way to find out, she supposed. After all, it couldn’t get any worse, right?
“Hey, Vel.” Reader said softly when she answered the knock. She didn’t meet Velvette’s eyes. “What’s up?”
“What’s up? I fucked up. And I’m sorry.” Velevtte rushed the words out. “I was mean, actually, really mean and I pushed your boundaries and I’m sorry. I suck at apologizing but I mean it, I’m sorry, I-“
“Vel, it’s alright,” reader answered. She wrapped Velvette in a hug. “I’ve missed you.”
Velvette froze. She wasn’t used to being embraced, and she certainly didn’t expect her to accept her apology that fast. 
“I missed you too. You make living with those two, doing this job, doing this life, more tolerable.” She admitted as she embraced reader. “Come back tomorrow, usual time? I promise I won’t…push your boundaries again. At least, not like that.” 
She gave her a wink, “deal.” She leaned back and took Velvette’s hand. “Now come on! I have to tell you what Val did this morning, my god men are weird…”
As reader broke into an excited chatter, two thoughts crossed Velvette’s mind. 
It was good to have her back. 
It was even better to have a friend.

He knew it was coming before she did. 
So when he came home from another long day and found her curled up in her bed with a heating pad, he wasn’t surprised in the slightest. 
“Princessa, why are you in here?” He asked, as if he didn’t know the answer. 
She was embarrassed. He knew it, she knew it and they both pretended that wasn’t why she curled up in her own bed on the seventh day of each month. He wasn’t sure if it was the event itself or the fear of ruining his bedsheets that led her to crawl away from him, only for him to chase after her, reassure her each month that yes, he loved her, and no, he didn’t want her to sleep away from him. A little blood never hurt anyone, after all- it was the gift that would allow them to have children someday, if they so desired. 
But he didn’t say that- he knew better. The last time he tried to make a positive comment on the event, by telling her that his videos starring actresses on their period made the most profit, was met with general resistance and quite a bit of accusations about the stupidity of men. 
“It’s a curse,” she had proclaimed with tears streaming down her face. “And it hurts, Val!”
And so, he resigned himself to privately tracking her cycle- simply so he could be prepared for when the time inevitably hit. 
“I’m here,” she muttered in response. “Go away. I don’t feel good.” 
He knew she didn’t mean that. 
“I know, mi amore.” He replied as he sat on the bed next to her. “How can I make it better?”
“Something for the pain, and chocolate. Please. Lots of it.” She replied listlessly. 
Unease settled in Valentino’s chest. She never took painkillers- let alone asked for them. He pushed his hand against her forehead and to his relief, his palm was met with coolness. Probably just a bad bout of cramps. 
Carefully, he helped her sit up and held the heating pad in position while she swallowed down the pink pills. Once they were safely in her system, she tucked herself willingly into his arms. 
The weight of her head on his chest as she curled into a tighter ball made him wonder how she could handle this each month, handle the pain and continue to go about her life as if she wasn’t actively fighting her own biological battle. He tucked her head under his chin and kissed her forehead softly. She needed to understand that she didn’t have to be miserable by herself each month. That he loved her, no matter what was going on in her life. 
“Will you let me take you to our room, reader?” he asked gently, “I have your favorite stashed away. And I can order in dinner for us both, if you feel like eating. But you belong in there- next to me. Not hidden away in darkness.” 
That, at least, seemed to pique her interest. But as quickly as she considered it, her head rested back against him and she shook her head.
“It hurts to walk,” she whined quietly. “I don’t want to move.”
“Then allow me,” he responded. 
He wrapped her into his arms and, making sure the heating pad came with them, carried her off to the safety and comfort of their bedroom. He settled her against the overstuffed pillows and gently tugged the now cool heating pad out of her hands, replacing  it with a bar of chocolate and the television remote. 
She tore into the wrapper and took a bite. He raised an eyebrow at her. Had she eaten anything yet today? He mentally kicked himself for not checking on her earlier. He knew she had a tendency to not eat for the first few hours and then eat everything in sight. That usually resulted in a tummy ache in addition to the pain. His poor princessa didn’t need anymore pain. 
“I’m going to warm this up for you, you decide what you want for dinner,” he said slowly. “Can I convince you to drink something in the meantime?”
“Water, milk, I don’t care. And I know what I want for dinner.”
“Then text it to me, princessa, so I get it right,” he replied as he walked back towards the kitchen. 
Out of the corner of his eye he saw her settle back and flip on the television. Good, if nothing else, she seemed to be more content. 
In the kitchen, he tossed the heating pad into the microwave and checked his phone. Ah. Of course, she wanted her favorite meal from her favorite restaurant. He could have guessed that, but better to let her tell him.  He placed the order and pulled the now warm pad from the microwave. He carried it back to her and to his relief, she looked a little brighter. 
“What did you give me, Val? This is the best I’ve felt all day,” she demanded.
His eyes met hers. “Nothing you would object to, Princessa. I promise. Just relax. Dinner is on its way.” He laid the heating pad against her belly and smoothed back her hair, pressing his lips to her forehead. 
“Snuggles while we wait?” She asked as she reached for him. 
He gave her a smile and wrapped her into his arms as he climbed into bed with her. She snuggled into him and he held her gently, careful to keep the heating pad in place. Whatever his princessa wanted, he would make damn well sure she got. As he reached to rub her back, a realization came to mind. 
She asked to snuggle with him. That never happened during her time of the month. Maybe, just maybe, she was starting to trust his love for her after all.
