The soft clink of Valentino black heels bounced off the walls of the bare cold hallways, he walked with purpose as he was slowly reaching the end of his destination. Before he made it he pulled out another cigarette to give him some nicotine to help calm his nerves, he was going to need it for what he was about to do. Finally reaching the end of the hallways the guard standing in front of the door stood tall in attention, already reaching for the door to open and let the Overlord through. Val said nothing as he was allowed access into the room, looking at the bare white walls and dirty concrete floor. The only things in the room were the assorted weapons placed randomly on a handful of tables and more importantly the 6 gagged demons chained to the far left wall. All of them were staring, with the exception of the one in the middle, who had the pleasure of being bound, gagged, and blindfolded. Val glared as he took a deep drag of his cigarette, another guard in the room standing awkwardly waiting for his bosses orders on what to do. Once Val was 'calmed' he finally gave the other guard a quick glance.
"Get out." Were the only words that left his mouth, the guard didn't need to be told twice. He ran out like a bat out of hell, making sure to lock the door from the outside on his way out, leaving the 6 other demons trapped and alone with him to do as he pleased. Perfect.
Val looked at his choice of sinners before deciding to start off small with the demon on the far left hanging on the wall, looking at Val with complete and utter horror. Val stopped by the tables before deciding on a hammer for the first torture victim, something simple and quick since this demon was the closes one to being 'innocent' in this whole ordeal. But his actions were still vile, and could not go without punishment. He stalked the cowering demon before he finally stood in front of him, one of his hands reached out to rip the gag out allowing the demon to speak, he wanted to hear him scream as he did what he planned on doing to the worthless filth before him.
The demon still remained mute, just shaking before the Overlord that had him in his grasp and trying to not look right into the rageful eyes to glared down at him. Unpleased by this, Val's other hand came up to the demon's head to make him look right in his eyes that were now mere inches away from the others.
"Please….." the demon begged, finally finding his voice as he tried to argue for his life. "I-I'm sorry for what we did to him…" It was a pathetic attempt, one that was short lived before Val took one more deep drag from his cigarette and blew an impossibly large cloud of smoke into the demon's face, causing him to cough and choke at the unsuspected smoke attack.
"You will be" Was his only warning before the hammer was brought down on his head.

~~~6 Months Before~~~
"So what do you think Voxxy baby?" The moth demon grinned as his partner looked through the proposal he had brought for him to approve.
"A….Love Potion?" Vox asked, seemingly still processing what Val was trying to sell him, Val smiled in joy nodding as he continued his pitch.
"Can you believe it, Vel was able to make an aphrodisiac 1000 times stronger than the stuff you can find on the current market." Val babbled on excitedly, "And she can make it cheaper than any stuff on the market as well, thanks to my saliva of course" He grinned, licking his lips to accentuate his point. "The test subjects just couldn't get enough of it, we'll make millions with the stuff" He laughed, feeling rather proud of himself. Val wasn't one to usually propose ideas or merchandise to sell as he preferred to 'leave it to the professionals' so to speak since anything not sex related was not his specialty. But he had been struck with inspiration, and pestered by his partners to get off his ass and contribute, to sell what was considered the most pleasant part about himself. Besides the sex of course, but many demons he had slept with had praised him for his pheromones and how it gave them the best sex of their after life. They had even joked that he should bottle it and sell it on the market, something that at first sounded impossible and impractical, but with Vel's recent interest in potions flourishing beautifully was he able to make the idea come to fruition. He looked at Vox expectedly as he watched the TV demon look through his proposal thoroughly before giving his opinion.
"Ha well Val I'm impressed" Vox admitted as he reached the end of the proposal in his hands. "And here I thought we kept you around just for your looks" he joked, but he didn't seem as excited as Val thought he would be, gaining the pimp demon's interest.
"What's wrong Voxxy, I thought you would like it" He whined, Vox took another look at the paper before sighing and finally placing it down to address him.
"I do, I'm actually impressed with how much work you put in this, I just" Vox sighed, trying to find the right words for the situation. "Couldn't someone….use this as a roofie?" He asked, Val blinked before bursting out laughing at Vox, much to his embarrassment.
"That's what you're worried about!" He howled, trying to calm his laugh but having no luck as Vox sat flustered before him. "Don't tell me you have a moral conscience now Vox, it's a little late to have one of those." He finished, whipping an invisible tear from his eye, Vox only glared at him.
"No of course not I just…... .well maybe a little Val." He sounded unsure for once, something a little unusual for the TV demon. He even seemed a little disgusted, Val was a little annoyed at the look.
"Oh come on Vox, is it any worse than what you do when you hypnotize people through your shows and tech to get money and manipulate people. You're hardly one to talk" He snapped, frowning at the others questioning him.
"I know but Stealing, manipulating, and killing is one thing, but this seems a bit much…even for you." Voxed explained, looking at the potion prototype sitting before him in a bottle for him to inspect. Holding the container full of bright neon red liquid in his hands with uncertainty, he glanced up at Val giving him a strange look, as if he was seeing the other in a new light, and not in a good one. Val didn't like that look. Perhaps he just wasn't getting the full picture, he just needed a little more convincing.
As Vox was distracted by the potion in his hands he didn't notice as Val softly stood and made his way behind the Media demon, before reaching down to gently wrap his lower arms from behind him around his midsection, while the upper arms gently draped themselves over his shoulders. Vox was caught off guard, freezing for a minute at the touch before trying his best to look back at the moth demon.
"Look Voxxy I get it, maybe in the wrong hands this stuff can be really dangerous." He reached a hand out to take the bottle out of Vox's hand to bring it closer to both of their faces. "But look at this stuff, it's stronger than any drug in existence. You can't sneak it into any drinks or food, it turns whatever it touches glowing red for fuck sakes, and remeber the smell." He laughed while swishing the vial as Vox tried not to vomit remembering the brief smell test he gave it, it definitely wasn't as pleasant as the natural stuff. "What idiot wouldn't be able to pick up on this stuff before consuming it, no one would ever be able to use this stuff as a roofie" Vox seemed to relax a little, maybe at his words or maybe from his touch, he wasn't sure. But he wasn't complaining as he went for the kill. "And if you're really worried we can put some warnings on the bottles and disclaimers on the commercials, will spread the word and everyone will know to watch out for the stuff. It can't be any more dangerous than the other drugs other demons make with no regard to their effects." He reasoned, bringing the other hand up to gently kiss, a little gesture that always got the other demon blushing at the act, it was always so cute.
"W-well ... .I guess when you put it like that, it would be one hell of a hit" He admitted, leaning back to consider all the cons and pros of the product before him. Val set the potion down before swirling the chair he was in around so he would be forced to look at his face.
"See now you're getting it" He cooed, practically stradling the man as he lowered his face to hover above the other. "It's a great deal, and besides….the deal has a couple of perks if you're still unconvinced." He softly grinded his hips against the other man to get his point across, and from the look on Vox's face it was working.
"Well when you put it like that…" He smirked, but gave the bottle a quick glance and a flash of uncertainty crossed his face once again, Val sighed.
"Mi amor, trust me, I know what I'm doing. I promise this will be your best hit yet, remember we're in hell after all. You don't get far here by being nice" He reminded the other, bringing his face up as their eyes locked onto each other. He always did love those literal flashing lights for eyes, even if he wasn't a moth he knew he would be enraptured by them either way.
"Ya I know," the other sighed, he still wasn't completely sold but, "I trust you Val" He admitted, looking the other in his eyes with a genuine smile. Val smirked as he lowered down to give the other man a kiss to unofficially 'seal' their contract, so to speak. They pulled away and just relaxed in each other's arms for a moment, feeling proud to contribute something for once to their partnership. His lower hands unintentionally began to get a little sensual, rubbing the TV demon in all the right spots causing Vox to cough and gently push the other away a little. Mistaking the simple soothing motion for something more sexual. "Not here Val, you know I don't like doing it in my office" he chastised, Val took a minute to understand the others comment before feeling mischievous.
"Oh come on Vox, what better way to celebrate" He teased, but did pull back from the other much to Vox surprise as the other once again stood before him. "But again I'm kinda hungry, we did skip lunch, why don't we get some dinner before heading home tonight hmm?" He asks, taking the chance to light up another cigarette before looking back at the other stunned face. "What?"
"You don't usually back down from sex so easily" was all that came out, Val laughed again before offering one of his hands to the other.
"Oh don't worry I plan to make you scream tonight" He flirted while Vox accepted his hand and allowed the other to bring him up "But, what's the rush, why not celebrate a little" Val was worried for a minute, wondering if the other even wanted to spend anymore time than necessary with him, but Vox seemed almost excited at the offer. Standing up finally and stretching before looking at the other with a content smile on his digital face.
"Ya, I'd like that." He agreed, only taking a minute to put all the paperwork away in its proper place on the table to wait until tomorrow where he would work out the necessary deals and contracts before production of the new product. He picked up the potion one last time, a final look of consideration and possible regret crossed his face before placing it on a safer surface on his desk, giving a soft final sigh at the concoction. Val whined before grabbing the other man's arm and dragging him out of his office.
"Come on Vox, remember what I said it'll be fine," He assured while maneuvering the other to gently link their arms together to lead the TV demon away from his work for good for the night. "We'll make it work, besides anyone stupid enough to get roofied with that obvious as fuck drug was bound to get taken advantage of either way," He soothed as he finally open the door and allowed the other to step into his buildings hallway "We shouldn't get blamed for something that would be their fault anyways" he finished his statement, watching as Vox processed his words before sighing and finally putting his arguments to rest.
"Alright Val I'll drop it." A smile crossed Vox's face as they made their way down the hall to finally get some dinner, arm in arm with a smile between the two and no more thought to their undoing.
