Chapter Text
Sleepwear
Vox does not like to sleep with clothes on. One of the reasons he does is because it overall just finds clothes suffocating. He only tolerates them because of his image but normally the second it gets in one of its partners room, he is either shirtless, pants less, or just straight up naked. The main reason is, he often overheats at night (because he’s charging) and the feeling of clothes sticking to its skin causes him to scratch at it violently. It absolutely hates sweating. So to avoid this (especially with him being a cuddle bug) he often just sleeps in his boxers.
Lucifer sleeps in a bright pink, silky robe with nothing underneath. It hangs over his figure loosely, often slipping off his shoulder. The material is soft and cool to the touch, not irritating his sensitive skin and appeasing an overheating Vox. So in his book it’s a win win.
Alastor sleeps in striped, full body covering pajamas. When he sleeps he enjoys every part of his body being covered. If something lands on him while he rests, it will wake him up instantly causing him to be irritated. He enjoys being modest, so long sleeved shirts and pants only make sense for him.

Sleep Schedule
Lucifer and Alastor both have the most fucked up sleep schedules known to man. Alastor views it as a waste of time, seeing it as an excuse for demons to be lazy and avoid working. Lucifer just has insomnia, the anxiety from being King and protecting those closest to him plus his workload and nightmares keeping him awake most nights. They can all stay awake for weeks at a time before only winding down when their body forces their eyes to droop closed.
Vox is the only one who has to sleep every night (much to his embarrassment). It needs to charge and rest his overactive mind. In the beginning of the relationship he often lost hours of sleep trying to keep up with the other 2, causing many problems. It was snappy, often drifted during important meetings or while doing paperwork, and glitched out more regularly. Because of this Lucifer decided they should all just stay in bed together. Even if he didn’t sleep he thought it would ease his beloved's mind knowing they were there. Alastor was reluctant but took it as an opportunity to catch up on some reading so he agreed (Vox is very grateful). It was also good for occasions when they did sleep

Sleeping Positions
Alastor always has the left side of the bed. When he rests he often enjoys his personal space, most movements disturbing him or just being completely engulfed in someone in such a vulnerable state keeps him on edge. It took a while for his partners to accept that this was just a personal preference and it wasn’t a personal attack on either of them. To ease Lucifer’s anxiety, he will hold his hand over the pillow barrier to ground him and remind him that he’s still here. Vox was a lot more accustomed to this, so it didn’t need the touch while he slept.
Lucifer and Vox rotate who gets the middle sometimes but majority of the time it’s Lu. He enjoys the soft comfort of the pillow and the plush feeling of Vox’s tummy while being spooned. Alastor’s hand intertwined with his is just the cherry on top, he’s normally out within the next few minutes.
Vox enjoys taking on the more “masculine” role of being the big spoon on most nights. Having his partner wrapped in his arms, soothing the snuggy nature inside of him was enough to lull him to sleep on its own. Sometimes he would be little spoon or laid on top of Lu as well.

Sleeping Habits
Lucifer likes to snuggle in his sleep (hence the need for the pillow wall). His energy was boundless, carrying on to his sleep and often caused him to shift. He kicks and rolls over a lot, the only thing keeping it at a moderate level was Vox’s much larger body. It always shows just how good of a rest he was having. The more he moved, the better sleep he was getting. If he was still and stiff, that normally means he’s having a nightmare or he’s uncomfortable. He talks in his sleep too, saying incoherent phrases that will often get a chuckle out of his partners. He also tends to drool in his sleep if he is particularly comfortable leading Alastor to have a designated pillow to the blonde (much to his embarrassment). He’s also a blanket hog! If it weren’t for the fact that Vox runs hot, they would fight for it all night! He is the lightest sleeper.
Alastor sleeps like he’s in a fucking coffin. He is as still and as stiff as a board, only moving if there is a disturbance in the air. He sleeps with his eyes open (it’s much creepier than it sounds), his charismatic smile staying planted on his face even in his sleep. The only indication that he was sleeping being the soft static waves that he emitted and his snores. His snores are relatively quiet, teetering on the edge of louder breathing than anything. He is the 2nd lightest sleeper.
Vox has the loudest snores either of his partners have ever heard. It was downright demonic and they have spent countless nights poking at their partner while it recharged trying to figure out WHY! His screen is off with the “Voxtek” logo bouncing around for Satan’s sake! They couldn’t understand why, the only way to stop it is by clicking the mute button. They don’t often do that, having grown accustomed to the sounds but if one needs to concentrate they will for a bit until it comes too weird without it. He doesn’t move much in his sleep, maybe shifting to get more comfortable but otherwise is as bad as Alastor. He is the heaviest sleeper- he could sleep through an extermination if he really wanted to
