Work Text:
I sigh as I flop back onto my couch, grabbing my tv remote in the process. After taking a moment to get comfortable I point the remote towards the screen while pressing the power button.
My eyebrows furrow as nothing happens, making me try again. “What the hell?” I mutter to myself as my tv still doesn’t turn on. I bang my remote against my hand slightly before pressing the button once more. “Come on.” I plead but to no surprise I’m still left staring at a black screen.
A groan escapes me as I toss the remote onto the nearby table. “For fucks sake.” I sink further into my spot, just staring at the tv, before finally standing up and making my way out of my room.
I head out into the hallway and look towards the elevator. A slight grumble leaves me as I glare, making my way over to it. Hitting the button to call it, I cross my arms in annoyance and tap my foot while impatiently waiting for it to arrive.
After waiting a few seconds, the elevator dings and the doors slide open, revealing the empty interior. I step into the elevator and quickly press the button for Vox’s floor.
The doors shut and the elevator began to go up. I stand in silence for all of a few minutes before it comes to a stop with another ding of the bell. The doors slide open and I walk through the hallway until I make it into his living room.
I glance around noticing the empty space until my eyes dart between his office door and bedroom door. Which one is he more likely to be in right now?
Considering it’s late at night, he’s likely not in his office. So I turn my gaze towards the bedroom door before walking over to it. “I have a favor.” I blurt out as I open his door without bothering to knock.
I watch as Vox yawns and rubs his eyes before looking over at me. “(Y/N), what the hell?” He grumbles tiredly. I tilt my head slightly. “Huh. You don’t usually go to bed this early. Long day?”
He nods. “Something like that.” Vox yawns again. “What do ya want? Make it fast, I’m tired.” I hum as I walk further into his room, stopping at the foot of his bed.
“I need a favor.” I say again reaching my hand out towards him. “Come on.” He looks at my hand and sighs before taking it reluctantly. “What do you want, doll?”
I drag him out of his room and to his couch in the living room. I push his chest slightly making him sit before I take a seat as well. I bring my legs up onto the cushions, crossing them, as I face Vox.
He glances at me in confusion and raises an eyebrow. “Are you gonna tell me what you want yet?” I continue to stay quiet as I tap his screen with my finger. I grumble as he overrides my touch, his face staying on his screen.
He raises an eyebrow at that. “What are you doing? Did you wake me up just to do that?” I let out a small sigh before pouting at him. “My tv isn’t working and I just want to watch the new episode of my show.”
Vox blinks a few times, the tiredness he feels slowly fading as his mind processes what I just said. “You woke me up…just to use my screen as a tv?”
“Please.” I whine. “I watch this show literally every single night before I go to bed.” He sighs as he runs a hand down his face. “Seriously? You woke me up just to watch one of your shows?”
I nod as I continue to pout. He looks at my expression and grumbles. “I can’t say ‘no’ when you do that. You’re lucky I love you.” My pout turns into a large smile. “Love you too. Now let me watch.” I say quickly as I start to tap his face again.
He rolls his eyes but his slight smile betrays him. He allows it this time, making my touch affect his screen. As I begin to find my show he voice continues to emit from the screen. “Why can’t you just each watch it on my tv in here?” He asks, pointing to the tv on his wall.
I pause for a moment as I process his question. “Hmm you know that didn’t cross my mind.” A sheepish smile forms on my face. “That probably would have been easier.”
His face appears as he rolls his eyes, amused. “You’re a dumbass, y’know that?” I puff out my cheeks as I flip him off. “Fuck off.” He grins, unphased by that. “You’re adorable when you’re angry.”
He then pulls me into his side making me huff before I lean into his embrace. He grabs the remote, handing it over to me. “So how long is this show anyway? ‘Cause I’d still like to go back to bed soon.”
I quickly find my show and click on it before responding. “An hour.” He sighs, pulling me a bit closer to him. “Of course it is. Why am I not surprised?” I tilt my head up to look at him as I grin. “It’s a really good show though.”
“Yeah, yeah.” He rolls his eyes but smiles back down at me. “Now just watch your show so I can go back to sleep.” I laugh slightly before turning my head back towards the tv.
He yawns and wraps his arms a bit tighter around me, resting his screen on top of my head. After a while my eyes begin to feel heavier as I try my best to stay awake.
Vox glances down at me as he notices my eyes beginning to close. “Are you gonna fall asleep here or do you actually plan to go back to your own room?”
I shake my head stubbornly. “Not tired.” A chuckle leaves him. “Yeah, right. You’re half-asleep already.” I continue to try to watch my show, squinting my eyes to try and keep them open. He shakes his head before standing up while picking me up in the process. “Alright, that's enough screen time for you tonight.”
I whine slightly as he picks me up, but I lean into him. “I’m not tired, I can finish the episode without falling asleep.” “Yeah, right. The way you’re fighting to keep your eyes open really says otherwise.” He jokes, carrying me over to my bedroom.
“We’re finishing it tomorrow then.” I demand before yawning. He rolls his eyes, a smile on his face. “Yeah, whatever you say, doll.” He opens the door to his room and walks inside before placing me down on the bed.
I immediately get comfortable before closing my eyes. He lays down next to me, wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me closer to him. “Goodnight doll.” He murmurs out, kissing me on my forehead before closing his eyes as well. “Night.” I murmur back with a small smile on my face.
