It's a pairing chapter! First time I heard this song I instantly thought of a onesided Vox/Alastor ship! So it's a Radiovision chapter everyone!
This set several decades before the pilot.
I do not own Hazbin Hotel! And I do not own the song as it comes from the amazing musical Dear Evan Hanson! So enjoy!
Chapter 5: Sincerely Me (Dear Evan Hanson)
It was a few days after the yearly Exterminations. And so far there were no reports of any Overlords that got killed... except for the one. Alastor, the Radio Demon, have not been heard from at all. His radio tower being completely silent. This was concerning to a few. They didn't know if he was just laying low or if the Exterminators actually got him. Yet one demon was taking this harder than the others. Vox. Alastor's rival and Overlord of electricity and media. The demons knew that the two were fierce rivals. Animosity at each other for their view points and clashing personalities. Except that was only half true. Unbeknownst to everyone else. Vox was hopelessly in love with Alastor. And his one opportunity of first meeting the deer demon ended up having said demon hating his very existence. So feeling now way out, the TV Overlord step into the unwelcome roll of being the Radio Demon's rival. So with the latest news of death reports coming out. Vox was pleased to have the email from the deer right in from on him. Explaining on why he had disappeared and the lack of information.
"Dear good Vox, we've been way too out of touch." Alastor replied. "Things have been crazy. And it's a pity we don't talk that much. But I must tell you that I think of you each night."
He suddenly leaned back. His back arching as he rubs his chest in a seductive way.
"I rub my nipples and start moaning in delight-!"
"Why would you write that!?" Vox exclaimed, causing Alastor to stop in mid-sentance.
Only it wasn't Alastor. It was a projection of the deer demon. A fantasy that was being created from the fake emails that he and Valentino were writing. Something to give Vox the faint hope that maybe, just maybe one day, he and his rival could be something more. It all honestly, having Valentino join him in creating the account was a decision he was starting to regret. But giving the fact that the Porn Overlord was able to read through him, he reluctantly had him join in.
"I'm just trying to tell the truth." Valentino grinned, a teasing tone as he spoke.
Vox rubbed his face. Not amused at the taller demon's innuendo.
"This needs to be perfect. These emails have to prove that we were actually friends. Just- I'll do it." He shoved Valentino out of the chair. He took over typing on a laptop in front of them. The projection starting back up.
"I've gotta tell you, life without you has been hard,"
"Hard?" Valentino quipped, a laugh being held back.
"Has been bad,"
"Bad?"
"Has been rough!"
"Kinky!" Valentino smirked, leaning over Vox.
Vox shot a glare at him. He went back to typing.
"I miss talking about life and other stuff," The projection continued.
"Very specific." Valentino mocked, leaning against the desk.
"Shut up!"
"I like my afterlife," The Alastor projected stated.
"Who the fuck says that?"
Vox rolled his eyes, correcting the email.
"I love my afterlife but each day's another fight. If I stop smoking drugs then everything might be alright-"
Valentino snickered. He over at Vox, an amused look on his face. He made a mini-hand rainbow gesture as he spoke.
"Smoking drugs?"
"Just fix it!" Vox exclaimed, moving out of the chair.
The TV demon was just trying to create some reason that Alastor would actually reach out to him. He didn't need Valentino's smug comments! The giant moth demon took a seat as he started to write the email. As he wrote, the Alastor illusion started to twitch, his hand rapidly scratching his ear.
"If I stop smoking crack-!" His voiced cracked.
"CRACK!?" Vox exclaimed.
Alastor would never be on such a drug! Valentino rolled his eyes at his friend. Satan, Vox was so fucking picky! But it was fun riling him up. He backspaced and went with a drug that Vox wouldn't get so freaked out over.
"If I stop smoking pot then everything might be alright. I'll take your advice. I'll try to be more... nice. I'll turn it around. Wait and see!" Alastor started dancing. He slide to the side, tapping his foot. He then started jumping around and then spin in place. "'Cause all that it takes is a little reinvention! It's easy to change if you give it your attention!" He ran up to the couch, standing on it, then plopped down with a grin. "All you gotta do is just believe you can be who you want to be, sincerely, me!"
Valentino looked at the other Overlord. Bored of what they were doing.
"Are we done yet?"
"I can't just have one email." Vox explained. "I want to see what it would be like if I was, like, a good friend, you know?"
"Fucking hell." Valentino snorted, amused at the televised demon's desperate attempt of a friendship for his rival.
Vox stepped away. A smile was on his face as he imagined what he was sending back to his secret crush.
"Dear Alastor, yes I also miss our talks. Stop doing drugs. Just take deep breathes and go on walks."
"No." Valentino commented.
The other Overlord got excited as he continued, going over to his desk and pulled out pictures of his newest devices and put them in an envelope.
"I'm sending pictures of relaxing technologies!"
"No!"
"You'll be obsessed with all my electrical expertise!"
"Absolutely not."
Vox went up to the Alastor projection. Smiling proudly at him. The deer demon looked at him with a pleased look. Hands on his heart.
"Al, I'm proud of you. Just keep pushing through. You're turning around. I can see."
"Just wait and see!"
The two started to dance around together.
"'Cause all it takes is a little reinvention! It's easy to change if you give it your attention! All you gotta do is just believe you can be who you want to be! Sincerely me!"
"Your friend Val's hot!" Alastor suddenly blurt out.
Vox blinked then shot a glare at the moth demon.
"What the hell!?"
"My bad." Valentino smirked, holding back a laugh.
Vox looked over at Alastor as he started talking.
"My dear Vox, thanks for every note you send."
The Television Overlord grinned, going over and taking the other's hands.
"Dear Alastor, I'm just glad to be your friend."
They both wrapped an arm around each other's shoulders.
"Our friendship goes beyond! Your average kind of bond!"
Realizing what it was starting to sound like, Vox blushed. Stepping away.
"But not because we're gay."
"No, not because we're gay." Alastor agreed, shaking his head.
The two held hands then pulled away.
"You're great but not that way. The only man that I love is my dad."
That was a bold lie. Vox hated his dad with a passion. His childhood and teenage years being directed by the man with an ideology of how his life was suppose to go. It was why in his adult years he did everything he could to distance himself from the man as much as he could. Doing everything he could to spite him. Alastor... he honestly had no idea. Though he did know that Alastor spoke about his mother quite frequently. But he never mentioned anything about his father.
"Well anyway!" Alastor began, spinning the microphone cane.
"You're getting better every day." Vox complimented.
"I'm getting better every day."
"Keep getting better every day!" Both exclaimed.
Getting caught in the upbeat energetic vibe that was happening, Valentino couldn't help himself and join the other two. Dancing along with them.
"Hey, hey, hey! All it takes is a little reinvention! It's easy to change if you give your attention! All you gotta do is believe you can be who you want to be! Sincerely-"
Vox and Alastor took hold of each others hands. Alastor's right foot is popping up behind him.
"Miss you dearly. Sincerely, me."
Valentino went goes back to the laptop and returned to typing. Vox and Alastor continued dancing together.
"Sincerely, me." Vox grinned.
The two slid to where their backs were against each other. Moving an arm to the air.
"Sincerely, me!"
Vox grabbed hold of the projection's hand, spinning him.
"Sincerely, me!"
The deer demon was dipped. A fond smile as the two. On the last stroke of the keys, he disappeared. Now leaving just Vox and Valentino left in the room. The shorter of the two demons went over to the desk. Seeing that he was finished.
"And there. Satisfied now?" Valentino asked.
Vox looked over the messages, a pleased smile on his face.
"For the mean time, yes. They're a perfect start."
"Good." Valentino replied, closing the laptop and standing. "I'm heading home. Have fun fantasizing about Bambi."
Without another word, the Porn Overlord left Vox's office. Vox didn't respond and instead made himself into the chair. Happily reading through the emails they created. It was everything he could hope for at the moment. He pulled out the radio that he had in his desk. Turning it on. In some vain hope that maybe Alastor would be back on the air. Music was playing. And just as he was about to turn back to read the emails, the music suddenly cut off. The media Overlord's head snapped back at the radio.
"Hello my loyal viewers! I apologies for the long absence! I had some business that I need to take care of and with such recent events, I just hadn't have the time to entertain you all! But here I am now!" Alastor's voice rang out. "So now that I have returned, let's go to one of my favorites! Enjoy!"
A grin appeared on Vox's face at the announcement. He wasn't dead! He wasn't dead! He turned to his computer, opening up a message box to create a new email. His rival made of hated him in reality, but in his little online fantasy, it was time to send a message to his secret lover.
I'm telling you guys, the first I heard this song, I instantly thought of Vox and Alastor! This was actually based off a PM message between me and my friend 96DarkAngel. I just thought it was a good song for them!
