Byte Me! Vox X Reader

What the static reeled in

I didn't move immediately, just kind of looked at him weirdly.

He waited – like he was amused then he continued,

"Unless you would rather stalk the static some more, its your call..I can keep flickering these lights all night" He said as he had some of the lampposts flicker. "It's fun afterall."

I bared my teeth just slightly, and his sharp smile grew wider.

"Thought so."

He turned around and started walking, his hands were in his pockets of his blue suit he was wearing, it had blue lines across it too. The electricity buzzed under his feet with every step and the city responded to him.

The TV's inside of different places along with street lamps flickered where he passed, the Camera's also followed our direction too.

I decided to follow him, but not too close to him, I figured one shock could probably kill me.

The signs buzzed brighter too and the screens glitched almost excitedly like they were greeting their creator.

Vox didnt look back and continued talking, "Stick close now. Hell is full of freaks and bad people you know."

Like yeah no shit.

He paused.

"Can't have anyone stealing my theme."

I felt confused now, "Theme?" I repeated slowly

He turned around facing me but walking backwards now with his arms spread out.

"Tech Overlord here and a shark, Think of the branding, you can join my team and be a part of the Vee's."

"The what?-"

I said, this guy was definitely crazy. Maybe he also ran the TV station of that news I watched talking about the extermination.

I stared at him.

He smiled back.

"I guess jokes kind of go over your head, or should i say fin?" I said biting his lip trying not to laugh more.

He opened a door for me, but before he fully stepped inside the neon glow of his screen reflected off the glass door, then he paused and snapped his fingers like he forgot something.

"Oh wait–. How could I forget?"

He pivoted back toward me and leaned one shoulder against the doorway with a few sparks crackling along his fingertips.

"I cant call you 'shark girl' if we are going to make this work."

...Make what work exactly..?

He tilted his head and his pupils dilated just a little enough to notice.

"So what's the name?"

"My name is Y/n."

The way he asked me didn't feel like genuine curiosity more like confident like he had the right to know everything.

Like this was a part of a show.

He continued talking, teasing almost, "Gotta know what to flash on the screen next time someone asks who the hell I am walking around with."

I felt my own ears twitch at that, his grin grew wider though.

He gestured me to walk inside the random place.
