Velvette didn't plan for this to happen like this. She knew that if Vox knew what she and Alastor had been doing, he would be the most petty as he could.
*Flashback*
"Velvette!" Velvette heard Vox scream.
She sighed, 'What is it this time?' She thought. She knows how Vox is, especially since Alastor, her secret boyfriend, returned.
"Look at what I found!" Vox said, pulling out his phone. "I saw Alastor kissing some random skank outside of Cannibal Town." She sees a distorted photo of Alastor leaning on a building. Alastor is barely visible, but Velvette is impossible to see.
She remembers that day, and what they did, Velvette was pinned on a building, kissing Alastor. They just finished a tour through Cannibal Town, and an introduction to Rosie. Rosie was surprisingly happy for Alastor, but that didn't stop her from threatening that if Velvette ever broke his heart, her cannibals would enjoy some fresh doll meat.
She didn't care about that right now. She doesn't like the idea of being called "some random skank" that Alastor was kissing. She started seething in rage and felt something inside her snap.
"THAT. RANDOM. SKANK. IS. ME!" She yelled.
She saw Vox's face shape from jealousy to shock and heard Vox's phone break as he dropped it and it hit the floor.
"How long...has this???" Vox starts to ask but instead breaks down in tears.
"Um for a while now... like since he showed back up." Velvette watches as Vox cries harder. "Um yeah...I need to go, Alastor's waiting for me." She said, leaving her room, and heading to the elevator to leave VoxTek Studios.
*End of Flashback*
She soon began running, seeing the Hazbin Hotel. She runs towards the entrance of his radio tower, ignoring anyone saying anything.
"Can I stay here with you? I don't dare go back...all that crying." Velvette said, hugging Alastor tighter.
"Of course...wait, crying?" Alastor had expected a lot of different reactions from Vox but crying wasn't one.
"Oh come on Alastor, you had to know that Vox is in love with you? Oh, you really didn't know did you?"
"I knew he was obsessed with me. But love...well that explains why it's been so easy to toy with him."
Velvette giggled while reaching out to Alastor’s ears, knowing just how well he liked how she scratched them. "Love might also explain why you let me do this." She said as she scratched his ears.
Alastor just leaned his head back into her fingers, making them go deeper into his hair. "Maybe it just might, my dear."
"Of course, many might say that you're letting me do this as a way to control me. Or I you..." Velvette said, whispering in Alastor's ear.
"Now my sweet doll, we both know better than that." Alastor said, kissing Velvette.
"By morning everyone will know about us." Velvette said, knowing fully well that Vox was going to come up with some form of retaliation. His pettiness knows no bounds.
At least after he stopped crying like some high school drama queen. Meanwhile, Velvette was the girl who got the boy everyone wanted. And for the love of Satan, it felt so good. Not too many people did what she just did to Vox and got away with it. Velvette knew there was no way in Hell Vox was going to let her back into the tower.
"I'll go with you tomorrow and we'll get everything you own out of there." Alastor said, almost as if he could read her mind.
"I wouldn't worry about me, Bambi." Velvette reached behind Alastor to pet his shadow. "If I was you I would worry about Valentino. Who knows what that psycho will do when he sees Vox crying like a baby? You know he beats Angel Dust right and I know how you feel about Overlords who do that."
Alastor growled. She was right, he hates it when others do that. He may disrespect Husker at times, and pull his chains, but he has never raised a hand at him.
"You don’t need to worry about that, my dear. If anything happens, I‘ll do what I first did when I got here." Alastor said, his voice distorting as he spoke.
"And what about Vox?" Alastor could hear the hint of worry in her voice.
"I have someone that can help me with that pathetic little box." He said, grabbing her hand.
"And who might that be?" Velvette smiled.
"A powerful, deadly, sassy, and beautiful overlord I know." Alastor said, cupping her cheek.
"Just you two be careful, if anything were to happen to you I don't know what I would do." Velvette said, rubbing her hands on Alastor's chest. "You've made my afterlife so much better. Even in life, I was never as happy as I am with you." Velvette said, looking at her gloves.
Alastor was the only person who never minded all her scars. But of course, Alastor had more than enough of his own. From his life and afterlife, scars that even Velvette couldn't identify. Not just the physical kind, but also the emotional. Velvette couldn't wrap her mind around the fact that it took her dying. For her to find someone who could love her for just being her. It all felt too good to be real, especially with Alastor of all people. He, funny enough, was the reason for her quick climb to Overlord. Velvette heard that radio broadcast her first day in Hell and she was hooked. Velvette found herself making all kinds of deals and killing so many people. Just in the vain hope of being within ten feet of the Radio Demon himself. Just to be near him back then was enough for Velvette. But then he came back after a seven-year disappearing act. And just like that the two found themselves here. Oh, many were going to have a problem with their relationship for one reason or another. One of which is the fact that she was the youngest Overlord in the history of Hell.
"Velvette, you do know I was talking about you, right?" Alastor said, chuckling at Velvette’s gaping face. "You are strong, powerful, and one of the best overlords I know. If there was any overlord that I wanted watching my back, it’d be you."
"What about Rosie?" Velvette said, enamored by his words. She knows just how special Rosie is to Alastor, and even when Velvette was introduced to Rosie, Velvette couldn't help but feel a small hint of jealousy when she saw Rosie and Alastor interact.
"She’s a close second." Alastor said like he was reading her mind again.
They both laughed at that, and decided to prepare for getting Velvette's things another day.
"Alastor, he knows!" Velvette said, barging into Alastor’s Radio Tower.
"Well, hello to you too." Alastor said, putting down a book he was reading. "Who knows what?" He asked, approaching Velvette.
"Vox! Us!" Was all Velvette said, before hugging Alastor.
It didn’t take long for him to realize what she meant. "It will be alright, my dear." Alastor said, playing with one of her pigtails.
