Chapter Text
It was a nice day, well, as nice it could get in hell. There was no acid rain and there were no black clouds surrounding the red sky so the giant pentagram and heaven is visible. So sinners are happily out there killings each other, selling drugs, and doing other horrendous acts, nothing new.
Alastor hummed as he strolled around the streets of pentagram city after a hard day at the radio studio, sinners left and right quickly running away at the mere sight of him. Alastor takes great pride in that, he did work hard to make the reputation he has now.
It’s also a good thing that no one would bother coming up to him and start up a conversation, mostly because he has better places to be.
Right now, he’s going to meet up with a certain TV demon at some random bar that he didn’t bother to remember the name of. That TV demon being his business partner…. and his ‘partner’ partner.
Alastor himself didn’t exactly know how that even happened. He first found Vox in a dirty alleyway, arriving as a fresh new sinner. The deer demon found him sulking on that acid rainy day and decided to confront the man. The poor demon was just killed by one of those new heavy TV’s dropping on his head back on earth, leaving behind his job as a famous TV host. Feeling kinda bad about him, he made a deal that the TV head couldn’t turn down. He can work together with Alastor on his radio shows to bring back his fame. With nothing else to lose, he said yes. Very grateful for the deer demon.
And so they did work together, for a couple of years they supported one another, Vox even opened a new company, VoxTex, that makes Televisions and it’s been booming ever since, thousands of TV programs and some music alike started becoming popular in hell thanks to him. Vox owed it all to Alastor’s support.
Alastor wasn’t an idiot, far from it, he could see the way Vox looked at him and how he reacted when he’s close to him after a few years working together. Either his TV screen would go pink or he would just glitch, it was a cute sight honestly.
He knew that day would come, the day Vox would gain confidence and tell him how he really feels. Alastor could have said no, he wasn’t really interested in relationships and is more focused on gaining power and trampling overlords, which Vox did knew about and didn’t care, in fact that made him want the deer demon even more. But something deep, in his dark and twisted heart, told him that he should give him a chance.
Alastor thought about it, and he said yes, which Vox couldn’t believe himself.
He liked Vox, he really does. He loves that big piece of advanced technology he has for a head, he also loves the way where he shyly wiped out his camera and snapped a quick picture of him, not that he mind though, although the deer was camera shy he would let Vox, and only Vox, take one any day.
Maybe Vox would be one for him, to be by his side for the rest of his years in hell. He just hopes he is right.
Vox was of course jumping for joy, like a child on Christmas morning. Before calming himself down and asking if he wanted to go to their favorite steak house to celebrate, how charming.
He didn’t dislike Vox, they worked great as business partners and supported each other in times of need. And he wouldn’t be lying if Alastor himself haven’t felt anything towards him, so maybe his theory was correct.
After a while of walking he finally made it to the entrance of the bar. Ah, it appears to be the famous ‘Helluva bar’! Oh how could he forget? It’s a fan favorite of the two, they would drink all night and spend their time drunkenly dancing with each other.
Stepping inside his red eyes scanned the entire room for his lover, making everyone else present uncomfortable because he is the radio demon after all. Once he finally spotted the familiar shape of the TV near the corner of the bar table he quickly appeared next to him, almost startling him.
“Oh fuck! You're gonna give me a heart attack one day ya know” Vox said as he composed himself.
“Yeah, but you love when I do that, don’t you?” The deer said as he took a set next to him. He gave a small kiss on his screen, giving him a light static shock, oh how he loves it when that happens.
Vox’s screen turned pink, his right hand crept its way to the deer demon’s thin waist while his left hand was raised in the air, signaling the bartender to give him one more shot for his partner.
“So how was work?” Vox asked. The bartender gives Alastor a shot while shaking in fear.
“Same as always, another successful overload’s scream broadcasted. Didn’t you hear my dear?” Alastor asked, his permanent smile growing a bit.
“Well some fucktard client decided to try and scam me out of my business and it turned into a hours long shootout, just the same old. Sorry I didn’t hear it babe, how about a nice dance later? My treat~”
Alastor hummed, his hands slowly ghosting its way to Vox’s chest. His hand movements were so light that it took Vox a couple of seconds to realize that he was touching him. Once he did, you guessed it, gone pink again. Alastor silently laughed.
“Of course dear, I wouldn’t miss our dance ‘sessions’ for the world!” He took a sip of his beverage, “but first let’s have our nightly fill!”
Vox agreed and they both drank to their heart's content. They did so after a while and both were still completely sober as they can get, being an immortal sinner in hell means they can’t die of diseases like alcohol poisoning so that’s a plus.
Alastor was the one that pulled Vox out of his seat, his movements started to become sloppy because of the alcohol but still kept his perfect composure. The music has changed to one of their many favorites of modern modified swing songs, a genre that suits them perfectly.
As the music started the two made their way to the dance floor, many dancers moved their way so the feared radio demon wouldn’t hurt them for being in their way. The two sinners hold each other tight as the first verse starts.
‘Here I am
Compose me
I'm your music
Your inspiration, your muse
I'm every note you play
I'm every note you play ~’
Vox was of course leading, his hand made his way to the other’s waist, he grabbed Alastor’s hand with his free one. He knows exactly how to entertain him, they have done this plenty of times of course.
‘My breath, my smell
My taste is music
My eyes, my lips
My hands are music ~’
Both their movements were going wild, not enough for them to separate and fall on each other but enough to still do a dance. They were fast, but not too fast.
‘I'm the melody
The song you're longing to play
So tonight I'm your bass
Put your fingertips on my body and ~’
“Soo…” Vox stated, looking deep into his lover’s crimson eyes, “our twentieth anniversary of being business partners is coming up in a week! How about we do something special?~”
‘Bass me baby, bass me baby
Bass Me
Bass me baby, bass me baby
Bass Me
Bass me baby, bass me baby
Bass Me
Take me baby and taste me baby
Bass Me~’
“ Oh? But isn’t our relationship anniversary not until next month? I thought we were just gonna throw a party with our employees” Alastor said as he wrapped his hands around Vox’s neck.
“Oh who cares about those fuckers, they’re just there doing their damn job. I want this to be about us baby~” Vox grinned as he put both hands on the other sinner’s waist, “Our own success started with us meeting each other after all”
‘ Try again
Describe me
With the music
Be inspired, boy use me
Let me be the note
Every little bittle note ~’
“Now, be nice Vox. But if you insist, then I guess we can go somewhere special. I agree it’s our first time meeting after all” Alastor said as Vox twirled him, he giggled at the motion.
“That’s what I like to hear! There’s never too much celebration of our love! How about a romantic dinner at our place? And maybe a surprise for you in our bedroom?” Vox cheekily said, leaning in for a kiss, which Alastor happily accepted.
“What a romantic you are~” Alastor purred as he broke the kiss.
“Only for you honey~” Vox smirked.
‘My soul, my mind
My acts are music
My walk, my talk
My look shows music~’
“But if we’re doing that next week then what are we gonna do for our other anniversary hm? Got something planned?” Alastor grabbed Vox closer, making their chests touch.
“Oh I have something plan all right, something that’s gonna knock your socks off”
“A surprise I see, can’t say that I’m not intrigued”
They laughed as they continued dancing, they shared sweet looks and tiny kisses. Demons stared at them in shock and disbelief, yes it was no secret that the two demons are together, it was even the hot topic of the newspaper for a while, but it was still a sight to see the feared demon being chummy with some random sinner.
‘I'm the melody
The song you're longing to play
So tonight I'm your bass
Put your fingertips on my booty and ~’
“Hey you know…” Vox started slowly, his eyes not leaving his lover as his hands slowly went downward. Alastor lightly flushed as he felt hands grabbing his behind.
‘Bass me baby, bass me baby
Bass Me
Take me baby, take me baby
Bass Me
Bass me baby, bass me baby
Bass Me
Take me baby and taste me baby
Bass Me ~’
“After this, why don’t we go to my place?”
“And do what?” Alastor said with a huge grin.
“Now you know what, we’ve done this plenty of times before. But if you don’t want to tonight I understand, we can just cuddle if you want-” Vox was stopped by the sudden small peck he received.
“I’m warmed by your thoughtfulness dear, but I am okay being with you tonight” the deer demon licked his lips. Vox jumped happily as he lifted Alastor up, spinning him around like an old record player. They both shared a kiss that soon quickly escalated into a heated one, making everyone around them uncomfortable but the two really don’t give a shit what anyone thinks.
‘Music is what I do and who I am
I can sing you a whole symphony
Write lyrics to your biggy boomy
So you know how
To do and complete, you are,
You are my man
You are my man ~’

The loud sound of a door opening echoed through the big empty apartment. Two demonic figures stumbled in, sucking each other's faces and touching each other.
“Wanna hurry up and take it up to the couch?” Vox asked as he kissed the other’s neck.
“I would rather we go to the bed” Al said in disgust of the thought of doing it on a lousy couch.
Taking the hint, Vox led the deer demon to their shared bedroom. He hastily put the demon down the bed, removing his jacket, and then his shirt. The TV demon’s voice hitch as he looked over the scars over Al’s upper body, he didn’t exactly know when he got those, they were already there the first time he took Alastor to bed. Vox didn’t care either way and found them quite sexy.
He then went for his shoes and dress pants, his eyes glittered with lust.
“Damn Al, I almost forgot you got hooves” He smirked.
Alastor rolled his eyes at his antics, “Just shut up and take me already”
Vox didn’t need to be told twice, he took off his own clothing and crawled on top of his lover. He took out some lube from the cabinet beside him, putting some in his already hard dick and some on his hand. His two fingers looming its way to Al’s backside.
“I’m gonna put two fingers inside this time okay? I don’t wanna hurt you like last time”
Al nodded and watched steedly as the man’s fingers began to travel downward. Entering the humanoid deer with ease. Alastor flinched, but quickly calmed himself down as the slight pain changed to pleasure.
“You like that huh?”
“Must you talk every time?” he turned his head with a blush, covering his mouth with one hand and the other clutching the sheets below him.
“Aw no need to be embarrassed, It’s just dirty talk” Vox chuckled as he continued what he was doing.
His swift movements made the red demon make a sound that he rarely makes. Vox swore that he almost went into ‘no signal’ mode because of that. He shook his face and looked at Alastor with a huge shit eating grin.
“Like that~?”
“Shut up!” Al said in embarrassment.
Vox chuckled as he retracted his fingers out of the wet entrance, leaving the red sinner confused. He soon understood as his electric lover pulled out his… rather interesting dick. But then again, sinners are barely human anymore.
Alastor nodded after Vox looked at him with a ‘ready?’ look. With a deep breath, the television sinner positioned himself and slowly entered his partner. He groaned as the sudden warmth he was feeling down below. Alastor himself clutched the bed sheets while biting his lip, trying his hardest to not make a sound.
“Aw come on deer, Let me hear your voice” Vox pleaded, he was trying to sound slyly but the raspiness in his voice was very noticeable.
Al rolled his eyes at the pun, but he did let his teeth relax, resulting in light moans escaping his mouth as he felt his partner grow deeper inside of him.
Vox couldn’t handle it anymore, as soon as the radio demon gave him the go ahead to move he thrusts faster by each second. Deeply enjoying his time moving around and seeing the cute faces his little doe would make.
“Holy shit Al” he said while panting, “You so fucking beautiful, so perfect, so adorable!”
Alastor flushed as he continued to moan, he frowned lightly at the cheesy remarks but didn't say anything.
“I love you Al, please never leave me!” Vox sobbed.
‘ Is this man seriously crying right now?’ Alastor thought. Despite crying an inappropriate time like this he guessed it’s fine, Vox is more sentimental after all.
“Oh hush you oversized piece of technology junk” Al’s hands let go of the sheets and made their way on the sides of Vox’s TV head, “I’m not going anywhere my dear, I’m yours love”
‘ I am yours and I’ll always be yours, I don’t need anyone else but you’ Al thought.
Vox smiled warmly at his lover, his screen turned bright pink as he bit his lip and groaned, he felt close already.
“A-Al I think-”
“I know Vox, let it out” Alastor reassured.
“B-but what about you?” Vox’s gaze went down to the other man’s own member, which looked like it wasn't going to climax anytime soon.
“It’s fine”
“Oh come on, let me help you!” His eyes motioned at the hard organ.
“Fine” the red deer sighed.
Vox let out a loud victorious ‘Yes!’ as his fingernails wrapped around his lover's dick. He started to pump it up and down while continuing thrusting, creating a unique rhythm. It wasn’t long before Al felt the sensation of being filled, and the sensation of climaxing soon after; which has splattered on both their naked stomachs.
Without a moment to spare, he leapt forward and wrapped his arms around Vox’s neck. His mouth leaning dangerously close to the other man’s neck, Vox didn’t have enough time to react as his lover bit down his neck. Alastor didn’t even need to ask or even warn the guy, he just does it and that's how Vox likes him.
Alastor finally lets go and licks his lips, loving the taste of his lover’s blood. He still loves it after so many times before.
Vox winced, “Damn! That’s gonna take a long ass time to heal. But anything to keep you satisfied~” Vox kissed the deer’s head, he plopped down the bed next to him and wrapped his arms around him. Alastor hummed as he snuggled closer to the warm embrace of the TV demon.
As the night passed it was already morning, Alastor woke up on top of the other demon and poke his screen face awake, nagging him to wake up and make him breakfast. The usual mornings for them.
~ • ~
The past couple of weeks were great, better than great. Their partnership anniversary was spectacular, Vox gifted Alastor a beautiful golden ring, he almost thought he was proposing to him. But no, he himself said it was a ‘partner ring’ and he has an identical one too; whatever that means. Even if it was a wedding ring, Alastor would consider it.
Everything was fine, very fine.
Vox had surprised him with a new look, he now had a TV head that's now a bit more modern. Alastor was a bit surprised, seeing how he is so used to seeing the old vintage one. But since his head is sort of similar to the old one, he guessed it was okay. They even shared a photo together as a momentum.
Everything was fine .
Finally the day their relationship anniversary came, so they got ready for the big day.
The day started out great, Vox took him out to a restaurant that he claims has the best milkshakes and it’s one of the new popular dating spots this year. So they went, shared a milkshake, and went out. Alastor himself doesn’t like sweets but he’ll humor Vox a bit, as he does have a sweet tooth.
Vox then took him back to their house, telling him that he has a big surprise to show him. Alastor eyes peaked in curiosity, this is probably the thing Vox was talking about back at the bar. Is it really that special? What could it be? Alastor’s mind was filled with all kinds of ideas, maybe he’s actually planning on proposing?
Everything was going perfect, everything was fucking fine! So what the gods name was Vox thinking!?
“Is this your surprise!? Is this some kind of sick joke!?”
Al’s yell echoed through the walls of their shared master bedroom. The radio demon’s eyes turned into radio dials as he stared at the paper in Vox’s hand in disgust.
Vox raised a brow, “It’s a contact? Remember the other day I told you about this fellow I met a while ago? Proposing an idea that I was very intrigued by.”
“Yes I remembered, an idea I very much didn’t like!” Alastor sneered, “Why would you need somebody else when you got me!? I thought that the two of us would rule hell together!”
“But having more people in our team would provide our plans to work faster! We need more people Al! And not just punny workers from common sinners! We need strong people! He’s an overlord Al! He can make us into Overlords faster!”
“What do you mean!? We don’t need any help from other Overlords!” Alastor said in anger, feeling his antlers grow larger, “If you have forgotten already I’m stronger than any mere overlord! I’m very close to becoming one, I just need to make a few deals with a few suckers and wha-la!”
“Oh and how is that going for ya? You said that last year and look, no overlord status!” Vox scoffed, “People are so afraid of you that you barely get any deals or contracts. This could be our big break! We can rule hell together but a few other people! No biggie!”
“Oh no biggie?” Al angrily clenched his radio staff with an aura surrounding him, “We should rule hell together, only us! No one else!”
Vox took a step back, fearing his lover’s power “Now, I know you're very upset. I get it! But please hear me out on the plan! The overlord guy, Valentino, owns a very well known and popular porn magazine and video industry, with his help we can help grow VoxTex and spread our influence to a greater audience! We can also make lots of money and help our empire grow.”
Vox continued, “I know how badly you want to be an overlord and grow in power, I do too! As I said before, it can make it easier for us! I already signed the contract yesterday-”
Alastor’s eye twitched.
“So now me and Valentino have already formed a team, we’re still deciding on a name so that will come later. And all that’s left is for you to sign it to join the team! So, what do you say, partner?” Vox stupidly handed his lover a pen and the form. Vox yelps as the pen on his hand caught on fire, throwing it across the room. Oh how Alastor wished he could burn the contract in a crisp right then and there, but of course like overlord contracts, hell’s merger contracts are not easy to get rid off. What the actual fuck was he thinking!?
“Ow! What the hell was that for!?”
“No”
“E-excuse me!? What do you mean no!?”
“It means what you think it means Vox! I said no and that’s final” Alastor angrily sneered, “How can you do this to me? Even after I told you to not to make a contract with him! I’m not signing that damn form!”
“But it will benefit us greatly, Alastor! Think of the power we will get in a fast amount of time! Open your eyes!”
“What about us!? Our plan is to rule hell together by building our empire by us ! Not anyone else! Don’t you get it!?”
The two started to get into a heated argument, and that argument soon started to break out into a massive fight. Sinners and hellborn alike started to flee out of the mansion’s sight as the nightmare inside was starting to sound more and more violent.
Inside the house almost everything was either broken or thrown in a crude way. Vox zapped electricity from his body and hurled it towards the radio demon, and the radio demon deflected the attacks with his tentacles, summoning minions to do the work and fight for him.
He could have just finished him off himself right then and there, he’s much more powerful than him. He could have grown into his true demon form and wipe that traitor off the face of hell.
But…
He can’t , the great radio demon can’t. Him and that man have been together for nearly twenty years, thirty if you count the time they first met. As cold hearted as he is he can’t bring himself to kill him just like that, at least not now. But that doesn’t mean that he isn’t severely pissed at him.
After a few more minutes into the deadly fight Alastor had enough, he ordered his strongest minion to punch Vox’s face. The minion followed the orders and delivered the blow. Vox, who didn’t have time to react, felt the side of his face break into tiny pieces.
“That’s enough!” Alastor yelled, pulling off the new ring Vox gave him last month and throwing it on the floor next to Vox, who looked at it in horror.
Fine, if that TV junk cares so much about time and money more than his own lover then he should go right of fucking head. But Alastor is not sticking around.
“It’s over Vox. You can go and make your little team with that big bugged whore all you want but I’m not going to be a part of it. Why would I want to be in a team with a traitor like you? Or more specifically, why would I be in a relationship with a demon like you? I thought you cared about my feelings, but now I know how it’s gonna be”
Alastor snapped his fingers, in a quick motion his tentacles rummaged through the master bedroom before soon spawning a big red suitcase on his side.
Vox looked at Alastor with wide eyes, “Y-you are leaving…? You’re breaking up with me!? You can’t do that! You dare-!”
“Yes I dare Vox, it’s over, goodbye” he turned to leave.
“You-… you can’t go! You can’t fucking go! You promised me you’ll never leave me!”
Alastor snapped his head around, “And you promised me that you will think about my feelings and opinions when we first got together and here we are! I am done here”
Alastor harshly slammed the door closed as he stepped outside. His smile started to fumble as tears dared to form around his eyes. He gritted his teeth, he shouldn’t be getting worked up from this, he knew a relationship like this would go bad one way or another. But… he was certain that the relationship they have- had would work out…
He angrily stomped over the house’s long stairs with his luggage, he’ll worry about the heart sinking feeling in chest later, right now he should go and find somewhere to sleep for the night.
The only place he could think off would be his radio tower, yes the tower he uses for his radio scream broadcasts, that one. He quickly teleported his way inside his tower, he only had the radio studio with a break room and a sofa, nothing much, but he wasn’t greedy so it will do.
He left his suitcase by the entrance and sat himself down on the sofa, pinching his nose as he was now starting to get a headache. Oh how he would (literally) kill for some sinner meat right about now.
His ears twitched as he heard something from across the room. It as well be nothing, but having so many enemies himself it might as well be something. He sighed as he got up from the couch, his antlers already growing and tentacles up and ready.
“Alright, come out now if you know what's good for you!”
Suddenly the whole floor started to shake, hundreds of eyes started to pop out through the red walls. Alastor, although spooked, was already in his real demon form sensing the great danger he was in.
“ Oh calm down deery, I just wanna talk”
Alastor flinched at the sudden feminine and dark voice. On the right side of the room a big eye was formed, as it opened red slime started to emit from it. That slime was taking shape into a pale woman, she had a black and red checkered dress with a black jacket, and a red straw hat. Her red hair was covered with eyes and had a half eaten apple on her right hand.
“ Alastor, right? The famous radio demon? Nice to meet you darling” she giggled, “ I’ve been watching you for some time now. My name is Roo, short for the Root of all evil; But for you my darling, you can call me Eve ”
Alastor's eyes widened, the sound of that name made chills crawled down his spine. But now the one named that is standing right in front of him. He took a step back, but Eve took a step forward.
“Relax darling, I’m not here to hurt you or whatever. I’ve seen your little lover's quarrel with that TV demon. It kinda reminds me of the time when I fought and divorced my first husband. Pity you two broke things off, I actually thought you two were quite cute.” She laughed .
“Y-you were watching me?” Alastor pointed out the obvious.
“Yes, I do have eyes everywhere after all. After entertaining myself with your little fight I decided to come to you and offer you a deal!”
A deal? The great Alastor Altruist does not take deals from any demon! But… this is Roo he’s talking to, a deity that has the power that could rival hell’s royal families. So what kind of deal…?
“What… kind of deal?”
Eve stiffened a bit in surprise, almost like she thought Alastor wouldn’t go through with it, “ Oh! Okay then, let me explain. You want to be an overlord, right? Well I got just the solution for you! I know how you can score that title fast” the woman started to walk around the deer demon, who was frozen in place, “ but you want more right?”
She stopped in front of him, even though Alastor had his eyes on the floor, he knew.
She loomed over him with a smirk, “ I know how you can start your journey on becoming a king of hell”
Alastor snapped his gaze to Eve, he looked at with wide eyes and a large grotesque smile, “What?”
“You heard me” She giggled as she sashayed away, taking a bite out of her apple, “ I’m serious, I know how you can become a ruler of hell. It’s not easy task to do but if you followed my orders it’s will be as easy as pie~”
“You know I’m a woman of my word. I can make it all happen. All I need is your S̶͚̟̖̀͂̍̑ọ̷̫̮͕̤͂u̴̟͉͗ͅĺ̵̩̍̚̕͠” she gestured towards his chest, her smile widened as Alastor’s own smile started to deteriorate.
She backed off, “ Or not, you would continue to struggle getting an overlord title while your little ex will become one alongside his business partners. Would you believe me if I said I can look into the future to a degree?”
With all the stories and legends Alastor heard about her, he would believe her. Al thought long and hard for the next few seconds, making a deal with one of hell's ancient and powerful evil would give out great benefits, her deal is also very intriguing as he did want to become an overlord.
He also dreamed of ruling hell. The only thing that’s stopping him was that blasted devil, Lucifer and his damn wife. God how he hates that demon for being in his way!
But…
“How do I know you're not lying?” Alastor said, trying to hide his quivering voice.
Eve hummed in amusement, she pressed her hands together as she chanted in an unfamiliar language. She then grabbed the radio’s demon hand, it took a minute for Al to see many visions, presumably of the future. One where he did become an overlord and was feared by many, he also saw himself with other people but their faces were blurred. He also saw a vision where Vox, now an overlord with a more futuristic Tv head, was celebrating with that moth bitch and some tiny woman with a strange device in her hand. The TV demon swung a knife across the room, landing right on a ripped photo of him, the one that’s painfully familiar; it was the photo back when Vox had his new recent head, back when they were still together.
He angrily gird his teeth, but he quickly calmed down as the visions stopped and Eve let go of his hand.
“Believe me now?”
“Very much so”
“Great! Well? Is it a deal then?” The pale woman stretched out her hand for a shake, her hand glowed in red flames.
Alastor sighed, he will regret this later, he knows he will, but right now he should focus on getting on top of the food chain, no matter what.
His antlers grow even larger and various amounts of green threads appear all around his body. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the woman’s own cold and hard hand.
“ Deal ”
The woman’s smirked grew, the room around them started to turn bright red. As Eve let go of his hand the room went back to normal, the deal was done.
Eve began speaking, “Excellent! Now the moment you’ve been waiting for! Are you familiar with a certain overlord named Husk? No? Well he has quite the reputation of gambling, anyone that would cross paths with him and decides to gamble something, like, i don’t know their soul or something, then he will strike a deal with them. It’s a simple game of poker, if he wins then he will get the soul of the player, if the player wins then they will get whatever they want from him, like his overlord title~” Roo giggled creepily, “But this pussy cat is a trickster, he will use all kinds of cheats in the book to win. But I know you have your own tricks up your sleeve, so better make use of them”
She winked, “ you can find him in his big golden casino named ‘Clover’ in little Vagas located in the southwest of pentagram city, you can’t miss it”
She sighed happily as she made herself at home, she sat down on the couch Alastor had previously been on, she looked up at the red deer with a smile, eating her apple.
“Now about the king of hell thing, in a few years Lucifer’s little brat, Charlie Morningstar, will take pity on these lowlifes we call sinners and open up a hotel with the focus on “rehabilitating" them so they can make it to heaven. Stupid idea I know, but will it work? Who knows~ Anyway, the idea is that you will go to her and provide your help to her hotel. Why you may ask? Dare I say, since the devil’s daughter is doing something like that, there is a 99% chance that the devil himself will show himself to help out his daughter in one way or another”
“Other than that, you have multiple ways to pursue your mission. One, you can try and take down Lucifer himself. That might be tough seeing that your power is downgraded because you sold your soul… oh don’t look at me like that, you knew that right? Every Sinner who dares makes a contact knows that. Anyway, I can help you with that; I always wanted to end that devil of a clown after what he and that witch did to me, but there’s a 60% chance of that succeeding. The other option, a more effective one, is to be by Luci’s side. If you get what I mean~” she wiggled her eyebrows.
The radio demon’s ears twitched, lightly glaring at the woman, “I do not” if this is what he thinks this is…
Eve rolled her eyes, “ I mean that you will have to marry into the royal family to be a part of it. In a few months from now Lilith will divorce Lucifer and he’ll be a single man, depressed and delusional but still single. Once Lilith’s old crown is put onto your head at the wedding ceremony you’ll become king, or queen, or whatever. Lucifer also has no choice but to share his power with you. You can either kill him soon after marriage or continue being with him. Your choice”
What kind of-!??
“There is no way I’m marrying that clown! I would rather you help me take him down!” Alastor angrily said. Him? Marrying Lucifer? Never going to happen!
Eve shrugged, “ Whatever, if you ever changed your mind just let me know. Oh, one last thing, don’t tell anyone my real name, or who I really am, I don’t care if you told people that “Roo” owns your soul or anything like that, just don’t mention the real me . Because… ” she snapped her fingers, chains now surrounded Alastor’s neck as Eve tightened her grip, almost making the radio demon stumble.
“ I will not be very happy… understand?”
Alastor nodded, he was shaking so bad that it looked pitiful at that point. He hated feeling fear, but he couldn’t help it since a demon more powerful than him literally has him on a leash.
“ Good~ then, I bid you farewell for now pet ” with that Eve was gone, she had melted herself into a red goo before disappearing, taking her hundreds of eyes in the walls with her.
Well, Alastor did it, he had a way of becoming an overlord and possibly a way to rule hell but…
At what cost?

Years later
(Vee headquarters)
“Vox!? Vox!” The pimp yelled out from the other side of the dining room. That damn TV was taking his sweet ass time in his office that he missed dinner, again.
“Just forget him, you know how he is” Valvette said as she ate her fries, “That walnut has been in his office hours now, ever since his ex got married to the king of hell he’s was spying on them for weeks, now that radio fuck is pregnant with the devils spawn he hasn’t came out much in months!” She complained, throwing her arms around the table.
“Fucking so!? He has me! I seriously don’t get his obsession!”
The woman looked at her phone, “come on, you know why”
Valentino raised a brow.
Valvette rolled her eyes, “It’s his ex? His first lover ever since he got here? It’s obvious he hasn’t gotten over his breakup, especially how things ended according to him”
“Yeah that’s true, I remember Vox being a depressed sack of shit when we first started working. All because the Radio demon was angry at him after Vox agreed to be business partners with me without telling him first and left him, boo fucking hoo”
“Yeah! So we all know he has it bad and my dinner isn’t going to get ruined because of his delusional episodes! Now pass the ketchup, now!” Valvette ordered, stretching out her hand in a sassy manner. The moth rolled his eyes as he grabbed the bottle of ketchup before tossing it to the younger V.
In Vox’s office, the TV overlord was watching intensely at the hundreds of screens surrounding him. All of them had pre-recordings of Alastor’s and Lucifer’s time together in random order. Vox’s eye twitched as he switched between channels using his power; he shouldn’t be watching them, he shouldn’t be watching the romantic events of hell’s royal newlyweds as it might caused him to pop a blood vessel at any moment.
But he can’t, Alastor was being loved by someone that wasn’t him…
“Hi baby! It’s your daddy! Can you hear me?” Lucifer said as he lightly touched the swollen belly of his lover.
“Don’t poke my stomach you fool!” Said lover yelled, swabbing at the fallen angel.
“Aw but love, I was only tapping it lightly!”
* Zip *
“Say ahh~” Alastor motioned his fork towards his husband, who gratefully accepted it.
“Wow! So this is your famous Jambalaya? So tasty!”
“Only the best from my mother! I’m glad you like it dear” Alastor gave a small peck to Lucifer’s red cheek, who in turn stared lovingly at his partner.
* Zap *
“Alastor no” A tired Lucifer looked down at his dismayed husband in bed.
“But-”
“ Al I’m not getting to kill some sinner and bringing it for you to eat at 3 in the morning!”
Alastor pouts, rolling from his original position. Obviously in a bad mood since his husband wasn’t giving him his cravings. Lucifer rolled his eyes and raised his arms in defeat.
“Alright, fine!”
* Zip *
“ We're gonna have a baby!” Yells Lucifer as he gently pulls Alastor closed by the waist.
Charlie's eyes widened in happiness, Vaggie was in shock, Nifty was jumping for joy; saying something about a new ‘roach prince/princess’, Angel dust raised his hand to Husk, who in turn reached out and pulled out forty bucks in annoyance. Cherri was throwing around small glitter bombs in celebration.
“Oh my gosh! I’m going to be a big sister! I always wanted a sibling, congratulations to you both!” Charlie wiped the tears from her eyes as she hugged both her fathers.
* Zap *
“ Wahhh! We’re having a girl? I’m gonna be a father to a daughter again?” Lucifer sobbed, Alastor sweat dropped as he showed him the ultrasound picture. They just came back from the royal doctor’s appointment not so long ago.
“Well” Alastor started, “Since we’re having a girl I get to name her, remember we had a deal right? If we had a boy then you get to name him Samael, and If we have a girl I get to name her Ginny! So ha!”
Lucifer rolled his eyes with a smile, “Okay I get it you win, now come on let’s go tell Charlie and the others the good news!”
* Zip *
“Ah Ahh!~”
“Shit Bambi, your so fucking tight!”
“S-stop talking nonsense and finish already!”
“A-ah, are you sure you want this? I casted the spell already, are you sure you’re ready for a child?”
Alastor stood up from the bed, warping his arms around the shorter king as the devil was currently wreaking his backside. The radio overlord kissed him in reassurance.
“Yes I’m sure my dear, now fill me up with your hot apple filling please~”
“Holy shit-” Lucifer cut himself off as he pounced at the deer demon with such speed.
* Zap *
“Alastor, my beloved radio demon and the love of my life, will you marry me?” Lucifer was on one knee and presented a red diamond ring.
Alastor let out a small gasp in surprise, but for some reason it seemed forced, no matter how hard he tried to hide it. He finally opened his mouth and answered.
“Yes-”
* BAAMM*
Vox angrily slammed his fists onto his work desk, making his ‘fuck Alastor’ mug drop to the ground along with thousands of random papers he didn’t give a shit about. He could already feel the pixelated tears forming around his eyes.
Remember! Remember your time together! Don’t forget!
Vox fought off the tears as he closed his eyes, trying to desperately recall the best memory he had ever since he was sent down to hell to make himself feel better.
“ Here” Vox blushed, holding a bouquet of roses in front of Alastor.
Alastor blinked for a moment, meeting Vox’s gentle eyes as the blue demon tilted his head a bit.
“I also have something to tell you… I- think I like you… will you accept me as your boyfriend?”
Alastor stood there for a moment, feeling shocked as he looked at the flowers right in front of him. His smile shortened as his hands came into contact with his own, he almost dropped the flowers because of it.
“Vox my deer…” Alastor began to lean close to the other man, he kissed the demon before he could even react.
Alastor winked as he grabbed the bouquet and took a sniff, without breaking eye contact he returned the loving look back at Vox.
“Of course I accept~”
“F-Fuck” Vox hiccuped, his tears finally spilled as he covered his face with his hands.
He called his assistant into the room, who was feeling pity towards the overlord but never showed it as he didn’t want to get killed today.
“Give me a strong drink please, two bottles of it actually. Hurry up or you’re fired”
Nodding, the assistant left to get his request. Vox was left alone to wallow in his own misery. Maybe if things had been different, then Alastor would have joined the Vees and he and Vox would still be together. Or…. Vox wouldn’t have agreed to the partnership with Valentino and Vox would still have his lover, they could’ve gotten married.
No, what the hell was he thinking, he made the best decision, one where he wanted the best for both of them.
….Right?
“Oh Alastor...” Vox sighed as he tiredly flopped his head on the wooden table, ignoring the sound of his assistant opening the door with two alcoholic beverages in hand.

Meanwhile
(At the Hotel)
“Honey! Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you?” Lucifer worriedly asked his lover. He watched as Alastor prepared himself to visit Rosie of the cannibal colony, the reason being that she was dying to show him her presents for the baby.
“Oh don’t be silly my dear, it would only be for half an hour, I’ll even ask Rosie to drive me back here when we’re done if that makes you feel any better!” He kissed his king on the lips.
Lucifer calmed down, he gladly kissed back and kissed his partner’s belly after they separated.
“Alright love, take care!” He said as he turned back to the hotel.
While it might be rather odd that Lucifer is letting his pregnant husband go walking alone in hell. But since Alastor had Lucifer’s power in him after their marriage, and also the fact that Lucifer can teleport anytime he might help, he guessed it would be safe for him to go out alone.
It’s good for Alastor, because if Lucifer would to oh so control whatever he does or goes he would most definitely be widowed early.
Alastor enjoyed his time walking through the city, enjoying all the screams and looks of fear the sinners were giving him because of his new status as hell’s king.
He took a turn to enter a rather sketchy alleyway, scaring away most of the imps and sinners in it. He hadn’t even gotten half way through as he heard a rather familiar giggle coming from the darkest corner, he froze up. He glared at the direction where the noise was coming from.
“ Hello again Alastor~”
Eve revealed herself from the shadows, looking as menacing as ever. Alastor stood back from her as he protected his stomach. Yes he is powerful, more powerful than he was pre-contract, but Eve still fucking scares him to the core for some reason.
“ Oh don’t be like that, I just came to say hi, to see how you’ve been doing lately~” she looked over to his stomach, “ you know, I still can’t get over the fact that you suddenly asked me to help hook you up Lucifer a while back. Why? Did you finally figure out that even with my help you can’t overthrow him? Yes? Well I told you so”
Alastor stayed silent.
“ And so you decided to marry him, I had to pull a few strings and you have to pull your best impressions because it was obvious that you didn’t like him one bit. Or so I thought” just like last time she moved over to him, circling around him like a predator does to its prey before attacking, “ I figured you would just marry him and get his powers, why get pregnant with his child? Are you planning something behind my back?” She mocked a hurt expression.
“ Or did you finally snap and fall in love with the idiot? Hm? Well, I don’t care. That’s not why I’m here, I’m here to tell you that’s something big is coming”
Alastor raised a brow, “What?”
She smirked, “ you remember Lilith right? Well that little witch was in heaven this whole time. She picked heaven over her little brat, who’s been trying to get in contact with her since forever, tragic I know. Anyway, she appearly made a deal with my first husband, what deal? Well she gets to stay in heaven and stop signing to sinners and Adam can continue slaughtering millions of sinners because of it. Now that he’s dead and his little right hand woman is now in control, Lilith will come back to hell and try to destroy the hotel”
Alastor’s eyes widened in shock, “Lilith? Trying to destroy the hotel her own daughter created? But why?”
Eve shrugged, “ Don’t know yet, that bitch is so secretive that not even my future vision would be able to pick up on it. But what I do understand is that she’s evil in her own way. Look, what I’m trying to say is, she’ll try to attack the hotel somewhere next month, you and your little friends and family will have to stop her, seems easy enough right? Once she’s defeated you will bring it to me, understand?”
Alastor was dumbfounded, “excuse me, what?”
Eve rolled her eyes in annoyance, “ did you not hear me the first time? Bring her to me after your little battle with her!”
“ But how am I or everyone else going to defeat her? She’s Lilith !” Alastor was confused, why is Roo making him attack and give her the former queen, can’t she do it herself if she’s oh so powerful?
“ Oh please, that woman only has her singing power going on for her as she lost most of her powers and strength when she divorced Lucifer. You and your little family will have no problem defeating her. Just bring her to me okay? I would do it myself but that would make me reveal myself to everyone and I’ll rather keep myself hidden in the shadows thank you very much. Besides, your my little pawn, of course you’ll have to do all the dirty work~”
She summoned her chains, the same stunt she pulled back a few years ago. Though she didn’t pull it like before, probably because he was pregnant, how thoughtful of her.
“ Okay let’s rearrange our original deal, yes? Will you like that? Let’s see, If you defeat Lilith and bring her to me then I will destroy our contract and set you free.”
Alastor was very surprised to hear that part, almost sounding too good to be true.
“ If you fail to do that however… you and your little brat here you call Ginny will have to suffer the consequences~ you might be more powerful than before but I own your soul Alastor, remember that” she threatened, pointing her apple towards the radio demon’s belly.
He bared his teeth to her, how dare she threaten his child! If she didn’t own his soul and wasn’t so damn terrifying he would have chomped off her head right about now. But to not start problems, he was forced to calm down, he didn’t want to start any complications in the last months with his pregnancy.
“ Do we have a deal?” She starched out her red flaming hand, Alastor was feeling some sort of strange Deja vu when looking at it.
“Deal” he said, taking her hand and shaking it. Sealing their new and improved deal.
“Wonderful!” She clapped.
Alastor suddenly remembered something, something very important.
“Wait, you said Lilith will come next month… my- my little fawn will be expected to be born next month. What if Lilith comes on the day when she’s born?”
Eve chucked, obviously loving hiding important things from others, “ Well you better have a plan ready beforehand then~ That’s all for now, good luck and goodbye, Alastor Morningstar”
With that Eve disappeared back into the shadows, leaving the new king of hell alone.
Alastor sighed, fixing his new attire and putting back his iconic smile on his face. He almost didn’t notice that he dropped his smile while talking to Eve. Well, who can blame him? Talking to Roo/Eve isn’t exactly pleasant.
The radio demon finally composed himself and continued walking to his destination. He hopes Rosie wouldn’t be too mad at him for arriving late. Already planning a game plan for what’s to come in his head.
Oh the things he does for power.
