Chapter Text
Vox walked the streets utterly defeated. He’s never been more humiliated in his life. Not only did Alastor reject his partnership, he laughed in his face! Vox wiped his face, he felt like screaming, destroying everything in his path. But he couldn’t do that. Couldn’t let himself be seen as an unstable fool.
Well maybe breaking one thing wouldn’t hurt. No one’s around anyway.
Vox turned to a glass window, his hand curled into fist ready to break it without thinking. But then something caught his eye. A singular flyer hap-hazerdly taped to the glass. A bit dirty but the words could be made out.
“NANNY POSITION NEEDED! Looking for someone to take care of my daughter, if you are interested please come to the morningstar palace”
Vox stared at the sign, morningstar like as in lucifer and lilith morningstar the king and queen of hell. This could be perfect! Getting close with the royal family could be useful. Vox takes the flyer and stuffed it into his pocket.
____________
The palace is a lot further away than he thought. He thought it would be in the middle of hell, not the outskirts of it! He sighs and knocks on the door.There weren't any guards present either. Vox knocked on the door and waited a moment then knocked again.
Eventually the door opened, to a very disheveled man. “Hello! What are you doing here?” the man asked, tilting his head.
Vox digs the flyer out of his pocket and uncrumbles it. “Im here for the nanny position”
The man blinks, looking slightly confused as if he didn't put up the flyer. “Oh! I'm Lucifer! Lucifer Morningstar and I am so glad you are here!”
Vox looks down at him, no way this was the king of hell. “Your lucifer? I thought you were the maid or something”
Lucifer chuckles, “You're so funny! I don’t have any of those, Come in!” He moves out of the way for vox to walk in.
Lucifer walks him to his office, “You came at a perfect time because Charlie is sleeping right now!” Lucifer pushes open the door to reveal a wide space with ducks and fabrics and a bunch of other craft materials strewed around the room. Lucifer walks behind the desk in the middle and wipes everything off into the floor. “Sit!”
Vox sits in the chair in front of the desk. “Im vox” He introduces himself holding out his hand for Lucifer to shake.
Lucifer takes vox’s hand before sitting down in front of vox. Lucifer waves his hands and papers fall onto the desk. “I just need to check who you are, what you went to hell for all that jazz. Make sure your fit for child care!”
Lucifer scans through the paper work, it lists everything Vincent has ever done from early childhood to the date of his death. “Phew your just a murder and a cult-leader” he says wiping his forehead.
“And your reliaved?” Vox says a bit confused on why lucifer would be happy about that.
“You a sinner in hell! Being a Murder and a cult-leaders isn’t that bad compared to the heinous crimes humans commit! You didn't murder for malice, you murdered to rise to the top! That's something i can get behind” Lucifer chirps, he claps his hands making the papers disappear.
“Now than taking this position means you will be helping me with charlie full time! Feeding her, taking her to school, spending time with her and other stuff like that you get the gist”
Vox nods, “And what exactly is in it for me?” Vox could care less about Lucifer or his daughter.
“Oh right! Well you will get all the money you would want, power oh and the ability to travel through rings!” Lucifer explains. “So we got a deal?”
“Are you going to take my soul?” vox wonders. Slightly nervous.
“Do you want to give me your soul?” Lucifer asks.
“No…?” Why would he want to do that? Why would anyone want to willingly give up their soul?
“Then no!” Lucifer holds out his hand to vox to seal the deal.
When vox takes lucifers hand flames encapsulate them then go out as smoke as they release. “But you will be tethered to me until further notice” he says after the deal is done.
Before vox could say anything lucifer takes him to charlie's room. “Be very quiet, I don't want her waking up. I just got her to sleep. She’s about four mentally because she ages slower.” He pushes open the door to Charlie's room. The room is mostly clean besides a few toys out on the floor. Maybe Lucifer should hire a maid.
“She has a very strict schedule posted on the wall in this room and the kitchen.” Lucifer whispers not to wake up his daughter.
Vox nods, looking around the room before his eyes land on the daily schedule. Wake up at 6, breakfast 6:30, 7 school, 2 pm pick her up, 2:30 snack, 5 nap, 8 bed time. Sounds simple enough. Vox can follow this.
“You will be staying upstairs” Lucifer says, taking vox out of Charlie's room and up the stairs. He takes vox to an empty guest room. It was nice, he suppose. Better than the dingy apartment he was currently residing in.
Lucifer turns over to him. “Thank you so much for taking this position really. After Lilith left it has been a hassle for me to try to do the work of hell and take care of Charlie. She is just a bundle of energy”
Oh course she was a ‘bundle of energy’ because nothing in vox’s life could be easy. Why was he doing this anyway? Girls took care of children, not boys. Whatever he’s too in deep now to back out. Couldn’t even if he wanted to. “Great!”
“You start tomorrow, good night!” Lucifer leaves vox alone.
Vox was left wondering what Lucifer ment by Lilith leaving. Did they get divorced? But they seemed so happy.
