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

❄Vergil's Work Days❄Part 2

Vergil twirled the pen in his hand. He had a cup full of latte on the desk next to him. He raided the coffee machine Dante had in the office. He had a couple of phone calls. One ended in disaster, having a customer yell at Vergil.

It took all he had not to send some evil comment back at the man on the phone.

As soon as the customer finished complaining Vergil slammed the phone down, letting out a big sigh. "Tch...humans.....some are..worse than demons." He took a sip of his latte, while the door opened up.

Dante, Lady, and Trish were back.

"We haven't been gone that long, What the hell is this??" Dante's eyes scanned the room. Vergil had is coat taken off and was not sitting in his vest. The coat was hanging on the wall. There was violin music playing in the background, and the latte on his desk. 🎶🎵

"Correction...it's been hours Dante. If you require me to work here, I need my things as well to focus..."

Dante sensed someone gave Vergil hell. "Aww, did a human scare you?"

Vergil rolled his eyes. "What did they say?" Dante looked over Vergil's shoulder. Reading the notes the man wrote down about the clients.

Vergil had some colorful language for one specific customer. "...humans...right. Ah just ignore it, man."

"Just let him.. be Dante." Lady sighed, as she took a drink.

( Late that evening)

Vergil collected more info for Dante's clients. " I suppose that should do it for today." Dante was pleased to see Vergil worked decently well.

"Does that mean I may go?"

"Well, sure if you don't mind some rain."

Trish opened the main doors and looked outside. It was storming practically. All this human work made Vergil tired, very tied. He had darkness forming under his eyes.

"Very well." He walked over to the wall, and grabbed his coat from it, slipping it back on.

"Tomorrow morning then," Dante called.

"Yes." With his short words, Vergil stepped out into the rain.

"Rain...." Vegil muttered, he pushed his hair back up after getting soaked. His mind fell onto _____. Wondering how his new partner was doing. Then he remembered how he was sort of pushed out the door.

'....well guess it can't be helped.'

Entering his home Vergil pushed open the doors. He shrugged off his soaked coat and hung it up. Everywhere he walked he trailed water across the ground.

(Reader's POV)

I only returned from Nero and Nico about an hour ago, just before it got dark. At first when I called Nero to let me join him and Nico. He didn't want to say yes. Seeing that my nose was broken. I told him I would be bored and wanted to get stronger.

I explained how Vergil was being worked by Dante in the office for the next week.

Nero and Nico agreed to this, and he let me join them for hunting. I would make some money for this. However, he couldn't always promise I would be back on time to avoid Vergil picking up this. I told Nero to please keep this a secret from Vergil, I didn't want him to find out.

I was lucky enough to shower as well before Vergil showed up. So he couldn't pick up the scent of demon blood.

I heard the door creak open not long ago while I was in the kitchen. Footsteps sounded as they made their way to my location. I looked up and saw a very tired-looking Vergil. The darkness around his eyes told me he had a long day.

"Evening," Vergil spoke up.

"Hi." I replied. Vergil noticed my hair was damp. "You seem..well." "Well enough."

"Were you alright here alone today?" Vergil stood before me inspecting my nose and face. The bruising was spreading. "Yes, I was fine. I did some cleaning."

"Oh,..I suppose I should thank you for that. Don't force yourself though." Vergil reached out for a cup on the shelf.

"I'm fine Vergil. This is just a small injury."

"Y-yes, I know. You are strong." He smiled lightly. "I will return to work tomorrow. Is there something you want to eat?"

"I can make it myself. You just take care of yourself."

Vergil blinked, a bit surprised. "Very well. I'll bake some berry cake just...because."

"O-okay..uh have fun." I sniffed the air a bit. "Vergil..did you drink coffee?"

"Dante had that machine in his office. So yes...like 4 lattes."

'Oh man, he's gonna crash soon. That explains the scent wafting off him.'

I was going to leave the room, to rest a bit after running around demons with Nero. "Don't forget the ice." Vergil stopped me, holding out an ice pack.

"Ah ha right. Thanks." I was going to walk away with the ice, but Vergil still looked in my direction. He still wants something....

"Something wrong?"

He turned to face the kitchen sink. "No." Sighing I walked over to Vergil and very lightly gave him a side hug. "Good?"

"Yes." He replied, looking at me quietly. He put a hand on my head. "When I have more time, I promise we can go somewhere fun."

"Right right, don't worry. I'm fine."

"Oh before you go.." Vergil grabbed a stack of books off the counter. "I thought these may interest you. V.. helped pick them out." I was surprised to hear him say that.

"Vergil... you are V technically."

"I know." He averted his eyes.
"Thanks though, these books are probably lovely." On top of the stack was V's poetry book. I felt emotions wash over me. V's precious book.

Vergil nods pleased to hear me glad. He remembered the times he visited random libraries when he was younger, when Dante and him didn't see much of each other.

"Have fun baking that cake." I quickly left the room.

(Vergil's POV)

Vergil let out a sigh. "...I'm trying...I'm trying..." He wanted to become closer to his partner, but it was a bit hard still.

(Reader's/My POV)

I looked myself in the mirror frowning a bit at the brusing around my nose. Even make up wouldn't cover this.

Sighing I sat down on the bed, dressed in night clothes. I reached out for V's poetry book.

"Little wandered..." I began to read. It was some time since Vergil read to me, maybe this was him trying to make up for that.

(Next Morning)

I woke up laying next to V's book. I looked at the clock. Vergil probably left for work already.

"I should get ready." I took V's book and but it in my backpack, along with some other things I may need.

Once dressed in my demon hunting casual clothes, I went into the kitchen. I was surprised to see a berry cake sitting on the table. Made by Vergil himself.

I cut some slices and place them in a box to take with. I would offer Nero and Nico some.
