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

❄Vergil's Presence❄ Part3

( Okay I managed to write some more. This is going better than I expected. Enjoy.)

Vergil handed me my favorite tea. He sat down across from me. Scanning me for answers.

"Tell me... do you know anything about why there is blood on the main door?"

I stayed quiet and took a sip of my tea. Vergil had patients right now, especially with his crush. 'Dose he know I snuck out with Nero? or is this something else?'

"..don't be mad...but I went out for some air, for a little walk on the forest path to the house."

"Is that all..?"

I nod my head. I was half lying right now, but eventually, I may tell him everything else.

"You know...it's not safe out there...not by yourself." He sounded concerned. "I know, but you were always busy with work."

"That is true..., what of the demons? and blood surely you are not injured?"

"Oh no, I'm fine."

"Hm...you sure?" Vergil stood up and sat down next to me on the sofa. Making us sink farther into the sofa. "Y-yes??"

"Then why do I feel like you are lying to me? you smell like...blood. Also, your heartbeat is..unsettled."

I tilted my head, giving him a confused look. 'Maybe because you're stressing me out!?' I thought mentally. 'Oh shoot, wait does he know now about Nero and I??'

Vergil looked so concerned his eyes were sharp but, they looked emotional. "Well that isn't creepy at all..." I commented.

His eyebrow twitched. He didn't mean it to sound so stern. "Ugh fine. Listen, Vergil. On the way back home the demons followed me. I had to run back was all."

His demon heart skipped a beat, upon hearing this. Stress flooded him. "They wanted to harm you.?! I thought they were just fools coming so close to my barrier."

"I don't know much, I just know I had to run." I tried to calm the guy down. "I'm fine though, I swear I'm not hurt. I had to run very fast man, why do you think my heart is racing this much huh?!"

"I..uh...r-right you have a point.." He stuttered, feeling a bit embarrassed. could it be he felt a bit disappointed as well?

"Can I ...hug you?" He suddenly asked?"

"...what you still don't believe me for not being injured?" I looked at him in disbelief, I felt a bit bad for saying that, but I knew how he could act. He also didn't know the whole story yet.

He shakes his head."No, that's not what I meant..! I just...I...hmmm.." He wasn't sure how to say it. He had a long day, tortured by his brother's problems at work. He wanted some comfort even if just a little.

"Okay..."

"W-what..?" He slightly averted his eyes. He was surprised. He knew how I was with him. Not letting him get too close yet. We were each other's enemy but also close."Okay...you can have a tiny hug..." I tilted over to the left. Letting my tired form lean against his chest.

Embarrassment flooded over the both of us. It was a very long time since he was able to just sit there, with ____ close to him.

"Vergil...you seem tired...you should go sleep..." I muttered. He had his arms loosely around me. Afraid to throw me out of my comfort zone more.

"I..am, but what about you?"

"I have time..you don't, you have work in the morning."

"May I read you a story?" He let me go and stood up. "Uh, sure??"

"Good, meet me in your room. I will bring the book."

Vergil walked out without another word, leaving me confused.

" I will take a shower first then." Once he was gone, I went to clean up.

(Vergil's POV)

I sat here in ____'s room on the chair in the corner. Waiting for her. 'The least I could do was read her a poem or two. She seems...tense, and maybe worried. Damn demons..'

I happened to catch Nero on the phone recently. Asking him to clean my deck of that blood, before ____ could ever see it. I offered to pay the kid too.

That night after Vergil read me two poems, he talked to me about his job a bit. What it was like working with Dante. Turns out he didn't actually hate ita s much anymore. He was making some money. This home he had didn't really have much to pay for because of how wealthy his parents used to be. It was his safe haven. He worked hard as a hunter when he reunited with everyone to make the money to fix up this place.

"I will go now," Vergil said, wanting to leave me to rest in my room without him bothering me anymore.

"Alright, then."

"If you got out for another walk again. Be cautious, that's all I ask."

"Of course."

Verg slightly turned his head and smiled at me. It was a small smile though.

Once he was gone I texted Nero to catch him up with more news about Vergil. We were safe for now.

Nero: "Well if you want to go hunting again tomorrow let me know."

The next morning Nero comes to clean up the deck, upon Vergil's request. Thankfully Nero does get paid some money for this. In the back of his mind, Nero thinks about what would happen if Vergil found out about the demon hunting when he wasn't around. Nero worries a bit seeing how these demons are starting to act, chasing ___ all the way to the house.

Maybe they were angry, angry at Dante and Vergil for some reason.
