Promise, Broken Smile AU

Regret...

Betrayal...

Humiliation...

Hatred...

Anger...

Revenge...

This was all Vox had felt for years ever since that fateful night when he asked the person he loved cared for to work together...to be partners and rule Pentagram city together...what a fool he had been...the radio demon cared about nothing and no one except his one entertainment and sick sense of amusement...

Vox hated him...despised him...wanted nothing more than to make that smiling a**hole feel what he felt all those yours ago...to wipe that grin off his face and to stomp him out under his shoe...to be better than he ever was and to become a god like he had nearly been on earth before his death...

Humiliation...

Hatred...

Anger...

Revenge...

That was all he felt for so long...that was all that ravaged his mind and heart as he built empire...as he became stronger...as he stood atop the world and rejoiced when he watched someone put AL in his place...he wa sure he would have a hardon for weeks watching that old timey deer tremble in fear before the cameras cut out...

...guilt...

...fear...

...remorse...

Seeing him lying their in the rubble...barely clinging to like as the wounds inflicted by angelic steal had torn apart not only his body but his very soul returned something to Vox...to Vincent...

...regret...

...understanding...

...remorse...

...forgiveness...

Lying here with him after so long with barely any contact was more than anything either of them deserved...Vox had once dreamed of what they could've been, imaged all the wild, depraved, sinful things they could do...hot, impure, murderous and bloody...

And yet this...this was enough...the slightest touch and knowledge that they were close to each other...Alastor keeping the loneliness away from what remained of Vox's heart...and Vincent keeping away the nightmares that plague the radio demons mind...

...understanding...

...peace...

...comfort...

...love...

(Alastor doesn't like wearing his mask to bed as he fears it accidentally falling off and revealing his scars and instead wears banages)
