The two of you got in frequent arguments. It was normal to Valentino and Velvette— they didn’t even mind it anymore. You and Vox just always had it out for each other. It was a day like any other, you had made a simple, fixable mistake. Vox began to scream at you, and you screamed back. You both went too far in the argument, somehow getting onto the topic of why Vox was so protective of you. “You never let me do anything! I’m an adult!” You argued, pointing at him with a scowl planted on your face. “What the hell did I do?!” In the heat of the moment, Vox grabbed your wrist and squeezed. He snapped back, “I love you, okay?!” Both yours and his eyes widened, and he quickly released you. You stumbled backwards in surprise, her lips slightly parting with shock. “..What?” was the only word that could escape your throat. “..Take it back.”

The two of you stared at each other for what felt like hours. He eventually looked away towards the wall, exhaling loud enough for you to hear, despite the distance. You couldn't tell if he was embarrassed or guilty-- maybe both. He was an unreadable man, after all.
