Vergil's OneShots (DMC Fanfiction)

Daddy's Sick Day

A/N: Light-hearted cuteness that Standard Serious Vergil (almost doesn't) deserve. This chapter is basically what came out after I finished reading the manga Love So Life. 

[Daddy's Sick Day]

I pressed the button by the door, hearing the bell chime on the other side. It wasn't surprising that the chime was quickly followed by squeals that came muffled, then noisy stomps of little children running for the door. I couldn't help my own chuckle of amusement as I waited for the door to open.

"Welcome, Sister Miyu!" The twins stood at the door, glee written on their faces as they grinned widely at me, showing me their version of finger hearts. Even though the shape appeared more like circles, the fact that they had remembered the fun of learning how to make heart shapes just from their fingers the day before made me warm on the inside as I smiled back at them.

"Good Morning, Crystal, Winter." I greeted the young ladies. "Have you two been good girls this morning?"

"We have!" Winter jumped up and down, repeating it enthusiastically while her twin sister immediately went on a noisy ramble about how they had listened obediently to their father, and brushed their own teeth. It was just like any other normal day with these pair of twins that were the children that I had been engaged by their father to babysit. Winter was the super-active, enthusiastic one of the twin, but Crystal was definitely more talkative than her sister.

"Girls," The poor ignored father who was actually the one who had opened the door finally put in, "Let Miyu come in before you talk, alright? And we talked about this before; one person talks at a time."

I had seen many types of children before –I currently worked in the kindergarten that Crystal and Winter were currently enrolled in as well, and was in charge of the twins' class there –but I had to admit that Crystal and Winter were the most obedient ones when it came to their father's orders. The twins might not listen to everyone's advice, but their father's words were always followed reverently –which made my job much easier actually since if I really wanted the twins to promise something, all I had to do was to get their father to ask it from them.

"Good Morning, Mr Sparda." I greeted, finally looking up to meet the stark blue eyes of the man. He looked as usual –perhaps a little paler and tired than normal.

"Good Morning, Miyu. Thank you for coming over, as always." My employer answered in the same daily greeting that we had settled into after almost half a year.

"Think nothing of it." I answered according to routine as well, inviting myself into the house since the twin girls had now excitedly run back further into the house –presumably to climb back at the dining table to show off that they were now able to feed themselves.

"You might have to wait a little while today, Miyu. I apologise, but I woke up a little behind time." Mr Sparda answered as I took off my shoes politely while he closed the door behind me.

"It is fine. The girls and I usually reach the kindergarten fifteen minutes early. We have time to spare." I assured, smiling at the polite manners that Mr Sparda always addressed me with.

"Thank you for understanding." Mr Sparda answered again, then overtook me towards the kitchen where I assumed he was going back to the task of making breakfast.

This had long become our routine in our everyday lives –at least since half a year ago.

I, Miyu Fuyugami, had been teaching at the kindergarten for three years when Crystal and Winter Sparda were first enrolled into my class. Treating them like how I treated any other children, the twins didn't pose any big problems; mainly because they were largely intelligent and enthusiastic. Though –as children –they were sometimes a little insensitive, didn't think too much about others or the consequences of their actions before they acted, Crystal and Winter definitely showed much more maturity as compared to their classmate at times.
