Immortals (Devil may Cry)

Vergil Sparda

He settled down in my bed, cringing painfully. Relaxing back, he allowed me to adjust his bandage.

"Alright?"

He nodded.

"What is your name?"

He slowly closed his eyes, " Vergil. Vergil Sparda."

Just then, my dog Buttons jumped on the bed. She was a Cocker Spaniel Shi-Tzu mix. I shooed her away, "No Buttons! Get down! Leave him be!"

But the dog went right up to him and began licking his face off. He smiled and patted the dog on the head, chuckling silently, "Don't worry. I'm not allergic to dogs. And I don't mind them."

"I hope not. This one doesn't bite, but she'll lick you to death."

Her tail was wagging wildly and she snorted madly through her flat nose. She curled up next to Vergil, licking her foot lazily.

"Uh oh Vergil. Looks like you have a new friend."

With his eyes closed, he smiled, hand gliding down Buttons' back. Buttons stopped to look at him, then lay her head down and snorted in a breath.

"Keep an eye on him for me, Butts," I said quietly and exited the room, closing the door silently.

I walked down the stairs, heaving a breath and running my fingers through my hair. Ugh, I was going to the store to get food when I discovered him. Too late now.

I walked past the couch, suprised there was no blood on the black leather. I picked up Vergil's coat and long sleeved black shirt. Both were covered in blood and had a six inch rip from his... accident.

I sewed the rips, and put the clothing in the washer, starting it. Ok, now what?

I walked back over to the couch, rearranging the pillows and grabbing a blanket. I glanced at my watch, suprised to see it was after midnight.

I raided the fridge, settling on a peanut butter and butter sandwich. I ate it quickly, walking to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I pulled my hair from my ponytail, washing my face and hands, then returned to the couch.

I dragged the blanket up to my chin, pulling my knees to my chest. With a sigh, I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.
