The Kind Devil (FemVergil x Male Reader)

Ch 11: Final Acceptance

Vergilia's Pov

I was coming home from a job. It had been a completely normal day, but when I arrived, I saw something was wrong.

The building was destroyed, and the roof had collapsed. I ran in hoping Y/N and Nero were ok. I saw Y/N lying pinned under some debris, with some having impaled him. He was bleeding out quickly.

Y/N: "Where were you?" He sounded weak. I couldn't bring myself to say anything.

Vergilia: "I... I'm sorry."

Y/N: "You left me alone. You let this happen." I started to feel something was wrong.

Vergilia: "Was this the demons?"

Y/N: "Doesn't matter. This is your fault." Now I realized what was really happening.

Vergilia: "You aren't Y/N at all, are you?" He looked down and laughed.

Y/N: "What makes you say that?"

Vergilia: "Because Y/N refused to ever blame me for anything, no matter how much reason he had." Whatever this was got up and the debris in his body disappeared. "Where is my husband?"

Demon: "That doesn't matter." It shed the illusion of Y/N entirely, and looked like me. But it was all wrong. It had the Sparda on its back and wore a black coat.

Vergilia: "What are you?"

Demon: "I'm what you were meant to be. Strong. Unstoppable."

Vergilia: "Why are you here?"

Demon: "You became weaker than father. You let a meaningless human control you."

Vergilia: "I found something worth fighting for. What do you have?"

Demon: "I have more power than any other demon in history."

Vergilia: "What good is it?"

Demon: "Nothing can hurt me."

Vergilia: "Except yourself." She looked confused. "You hurt yourself every day by standing alone. I have a family to protect. What do you fight for?"

Demon: "Y/N will die long before you."

Vergilia: "We don't know that. Besides, I'll still have Nero and my sister. Now leave before I make you." She laughed.

Demon: "As if you could defeat me alone."

She attacked me with the Sparda and Yamato. It has a hard fight, but I eventually stood victorious.

Demon: "How?"

Vergilia: "You don't accept your humanity. You can't accept that part of yourself, and it holds you back." I stabbed the demon and it disappeared.

I woke up in my bed. Y/N was still holding on to me tightly. I realized it was all just a nightmare. Our home was fine, and Y/N looked as happy and peaceful as he always was. I looked down at him, noticing the way he was smiling. He liked to put his head right on the left side of my chest because he could hear my heartbeat.

I looked out the window. It was morning, and probably time to get up. I didn't want to move, but I knew I would need to if Y/N didn't wake up soon. There was no way I could get out of bed without waking up Y/N.

I thought about what I saw in my nightmare. What scared me was that it hadn't just been a normal demon, it was what I had wanted to be when I was younger. I hated being reminded of how I'd seen humans at that time. I knew Y/N would inevitably notice I was feeling down and quash it the way he usually did, and I was looking forward to it.

Eventually I finally moved a bit, hoping to ease Y/N awake. I felt him cling to me even harder. He wasn't awake, but he still wanted me close. I wanted badly to just give in and hold him longer, but I needed to get up.
