Blinding Strike Vergil/V x Reader(Devil May Cry)

❄The Promise ❄

"Very well, I shall comply with your wishes. However, if Dante tries to take you away from me. I won't hesitate to draw my sword. You must understand that."

I let out a sigh.

"I know, just don't kill him."

"Just let me know if you are uncomfortable, and I will step back."

'What did I get myself into..oh god...'

Vergil was more reserved and less touchy from what I could tell. Compared to Dante. He seemed to understand, that is me also. "Okay.."

Vergil bowed his head for a moment and straightened up, he walked up to me and leaned slightly in. It caught me off guard when he very lightly touched his lip to the side of my head. His way of showing me respect, and understanding.

I felt an odd..emotional wave hit me. I didn't return it to him because I wasn't comfortable enough, this was just alright with him. It would take some time to warm up to him in this way.

"For your safety, we should return before it gets dark. The demons will be around more right now."

"Okay.." Vergil stepped back outside leaving me to process everything. It was time to call Nero.

I sat down at Dante's desk and picked up his large antique phone. I dialed Nero's number and waited.

"H-hello?" Nero's voice came through.

"It's me ____."

"Oh! What's up?"

"Well, I have some things I need to tell you."

"Go ahead."

(Time Skip)

It's been a couple of hours since I told Nero. I could hear his chair squeak, telling me he had just about fallen off his chair when he heard about me and Vergil.

Nero was worried, but he also said if his father dared to be mean, he will never let him live it down.

Currently, the three of us were back at Vergil's house. I only recently broke the news to Dante that Vergil and I are sort of trying to make things work.

Vergil warned Dante to be careful, he won't take any crap from him. I was currently in the bath. when I heard a voice from the other side of the door. I was a bit surprised and splashed the water out a bit.

"_____?"

"Y-y...YES!?" I breathed a bit startled. 'Wait who is that?' It was a voice I haven't heard in a while. "I have brought some fresh pillowcases, a candle, and sleeping clothes for you."

"W-who is that??" I questioned. The voice paused as if it was surprised by my question.

"Doll..it's me V-."

"Waaait...V???"

"Yes,..is that alright?"

'That explains it.'

'WAaait a second he brought me stuff? pillow cases, sleeping clothes, even a candle?!?' Why did this feel so strange to me?

"N-no...uh it's fine, I'm just confused.."

"I see..., I thought my human side only would help ease the tension...for this new start."

'I guess I should thank him.'

"T-hanks..V." I replied quietly, a bit embarrassed by his gesture. "No problem...I shall leave now. Call me if you need anything else." He said softly and left.

( V's POV)

'She seems....so quiet. I shall try my best to try and respect her boundaries. Do-...my doll....is worried.'

V never thought he would utter the words his/ my doll. It was strange to him. He walked down the hall meeting with Nero face to face. "V."

"Hello, Nero."

Nero was surprised to hear V talk more normally, and forward. With no traces of coldness. He was softer. It was still Vergil after all. Only part of him though. "H-how is...____?" Nero asked.

V averted his eyes. "She is fine...though things will take time. I need to leave her be." With that the man left, leaving Nero to think.

(Nero's POV)

'..why did ___ suddenly pick him? She use to be absolutely frightened of him.' Then he remembered the times Vergil saved her, and when ____ came running to the brother's sides when they were heavily wounded.

'Those events must have affected her. More than we thought.'

(Back to Reader's POV)

I finished my bath and went to my room. My eyes land on the clean silk pillowcases. One red, and an icy blue one. He wasn't kidding about this. There was a pair of fuzzy short and long-sleeved shirts there too, in black. My head turned to look at the side table, where a candle in a blue glass jar sat, with a match next to it.

I picked up the match and used it to light the candle. A peppermint scent came from the candle, with some hints of vanilla. Fixing up my bed with the pillowcases, I threw myself onto the fairly large bed. I had the window's curtains open a bit so the moonlight would come inside.

Then my mind began to wander a bit. From past events. Between the times I first met Dante, Nero, and Vergil. Dante was the one who originally saved me, Nero was there to help too. Then Vergil came. Nero absolutely hated his father coming near me. Vergil was a bit scary then. Though he changed, he was not the same man I met way back then. Then I met V, his human side. That was extremely surprising, to see how differently he acted. I think because of V, I learned to enjoy Vergil's company at times. He helped me see Vergil in another light.

'So... here I am. Staring something with Vergil. Is this foolish of me? ' I was still conflicted about this. I was so quiet outside of my room. Maybe everyone was asleep?

Our rooms were pretty far apart. Even if Dante was snoring I wouldn't hear it. I looked down at my phone which just lit up. My eyes burned at the sudden max brightness.  I quickly turned the light and stared down at the message in my inbox.

It was from Vergil.

"I have recently gotten a phone...., have a pleasant night." It read. I was surprised to hear this was his phone, but I wasn't sure how to take the rest of the message still.

Another message popped up.

"Nero??" I blinked.

Nero: "Hey, is my dad bothering you?"

I wrote back. "N-no, why?"

Nero: "Because I just saw him walk by with his new phone."

'Pffft.'

Reader: "Everything is good here.."

I set my phone down and leaned over to blow out the candle. Not long after I fell asleep in the extremely soft bed. Trying to forget about Vergil. 'I'm..so tired..'
