He's my man
And I love him like nobody else can
He's my man
He's gone quite mad
No, nobody has to understand
Me and my man

Every sinner whether new to hell or has been in hell for decades, knew about Vox and Alastor’s weird obsession with each other. Vox stalking Alastor through his cameras and drones while Alastor keeps an eye on Vox through his shadow.
What the sinners don’t know is what truly happens behind close doors
Alastor, the radio demon owns the soul of Vox, the CEO of VoxTek and this wasn’t a new thing that happened recently. No, it happened 70 years ago. On a random Wednesday night at a bar. Alastor had accepted Vox’s business proposal, with the condition that Vox gives his soul to him.
Vox naturally was very hesitant about it but Alastor assures that Vox would still have his overlord title and powers. It’s just that his soul would be Alastor’s. After much consideration, Vox agreed and that brings us to the present moment.
Vox was minding his own business, doing his paperwork when he felt a tug at his soul chain. It was light at first that he could ignore it but the more he ignore it, the more the tug became stronger. Vox still ignored it until black tentacles emerged from the ground and wrap around Vox, immobilising him.
“What the fuck, Al.” Vox grumbles as he stares at the dark corner of his office.
“My deepest apologies, my dear but I noticed that you haven’t been taking care of yourself. And you didn’t respond to me when I called you through the soul connection. So I had to resort to…other measures.” Alastor hums as he steps out of the shadows.
“Now, take a break darling. Lest you might collapse from exhaustion.” He added as he approaches Vox at his desk.
Vox rolled his eyes before struggling against the resistants, trying to escape it but it only got tighter; “I’m fine, Al. I have so many work to finish, deadline to meet.” Vox says as he watches Alastor drew closer to him.
“Hm, I’m sure that you can take a break from it for a while. Besides, you can just hand it off to Ethan to finish it. It wouldn’t be the first time, anyways.” Alastor says as he releases Vox from the resistants and carries him in a bridal style.
Vox sighs as he wrap his arms around Alastor’s neck, “I guess so…” he mutters.
Alastor grins as the two shadow travel back to their shared bedroom, “Well then, time for you to have a good night sleep.” He says as he places Vox on the bed.
Vox sat up as he removed his blazer and bowtie, “Are you going to join me in bed as well?” He asked before looking at Alastor.
Alastor thinks about it before nodding, “Sure, I was planning on making you some food but I guess that could wait if my darling picture box wants me to join him in bed.”
After neatly removing and folding his coat, Alastor got in bed and spoons Vox. Vox turns around to face Alastor, practically melting in the other’s embrace. Vox cherishes these moments with Alastor. It always calms him and makes him feel so safe.
It wasn’t long until Vox falls asleep.
Alastor didn’t know what he was getting into when he accepted Vox’s partnership proposal. Alastor had thought that when he says that he would only accept the proposal if Vox gives his soul to Alastor, the TV overlord would have refused.
But no, Vox willingly accepted the condition. Though, Alastor did assure him that Vox would keep his titles and powers. Still, Alastor didn’t expect him to accept it even then.
It had sparked something in Alastor that day. At that time, Alastor had brushed it off. Thinking nothing of it as he focused on the fact that he has Vox’s soul now. Alastor thought of all the things he could make Vox do and he couldn’t even refuse.
Except, Alastor never did make Vox do anything. Never had to use the soul bond to force Vox to do something. Instead, Alastor had fallen in love with Vox and they had gotten married a decade later. So can someone please tell Alastor why has it come to this? Why is his dear sweet Vincent staring at him like that?
Like Alastor had just ripped his heart out with his hands.
“You…you— why? What was the reason to leave me for 7 years? Did you know how miserable I was for those years without you?” Vox questioned.
Alastor didn’t know what to say, he wanted to tell Vox the truth. That Alastor didn’t want to leave Vox for 7 whole years, but his ego couldn’t handle it. So he just kept quiet and didn’t say anything. That only made Vox even more furious.
“For Lucifer’s sake, say something!” Vox hissed, “I fucking mourned you like a widow for 7 fucking years! And you have the audacity to came back like nothing happened. Like you didn’t disappear for years.” Vox was crying now, his heart feels like it’s breaking into a million pieces.
Alastor didn’t like seeing Vox crying like this, he took a step forward to hug the other but Vox pushed him away and stepped back, “NO! You don’t just get walk into my arms like that. You forfeit all rights to my heart, forfeit the place in our bed. You'll sleep in your radio tower tonight.”
“Vox…I…” Alastor says, thinking of what to say to make this better but there’s nothing he could have done or said to make this better.
Vox wipe his tears away, pulling himself together and fixed his tie and coat before looking at Alastor, “Goodbye, Alastor. We are over. Never contact me ever again, I’ll have your things delivered to your place later on.” He announced, his tone cold and firm.
Alastor froze.
No no no no no—this isn’t supposed to happen. He can’t leave me. He is mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.
MINE.
Alastor did what he never thought he would do, he use the soul bond between them. This is very first time, he is using it.
“No, Vox. You don’t get to leave. You seem to forget that your soul belongs to me, so who do you think you are? You don’t get to decide to just end this. You are mine for all of eternity.” Alastor says as he summons the soul chain and pulls it to him.
Vox, who was walking away, was yanked back. He stumbled and fell to the ground, he turns to look at Alastor. Fear evident in his eyes as he was dragged back to Alastor, realisation hits him. The TV overlord frantically clawed at the chain around his neck, trying to escape from it. Seeing Vox so scared of him like this for the first time, made Alastor’s heart skipped a beat. Oh, he loves that expression on Vox.
He wants to see more of it.
And he will.
“Now now, my darling picture box. Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you but you will never ever ever leave me and I won’t ever leave you. We will be together for all of eternity.” Alastor promised, crouching down to Vox who was on the ground. He grabbed the side of his screen with one hand before kissing him on the lips.
Vox, the TV overlord and CEO of VoxTek was never seen in public ever again. Sinners knew that Vox was still alive, he made appearances on live television occasionally but never in real life. Vox still owes VoxTek and his powers but he was never allowed outside.
Alastor attends the Overlord meetings and other important events on his behalf, as Vox is being kept locked up in his their penthouse. Only being able to navigate within the Vee Tower and the penthouse.
No one except for Velvette, Ethan and sometimes Valentino was allowed to see Vox.
Vox only needs Alastor, Alastor is the only one that can satisfy Vox’s every need. Especially in bed, everyday mean everyday. At the end of the day, Vox is very taken care of as Alastor always takes good care of his possessions.
