Devil may cry oneshots

Safe in a nightmare (nero)

DMC one shots
Nero x reader

This is the first oneshot I've ever done so I hope you like it. :)

Huh! I woke up scared and frantic, it was completely dark and I was sweating bullets trying to gather my thoughts and figure out where I was. I looked down and all I could see was that I had on a male's black tank top. I could see a little from the street light shining in the crack of the blind and curtain.
I felt someone sit up next to me and wrap their arms around me. I immediately panicked and started screaming trying to get out of the bed.

"Calm down love, it's okay now it was just a bad dream" he said softly.

I then froze panting heavily. I realized everything, where I was, who he was, and what had just happened.

I laid back down and so did he. I rolled over onto my side and wrapped my arms around him burying my face in his chest.
It was Nero. A demon hunter I managed to get tangled up with, and later managed to fall inlove with.
I loved spending my nights with him, but it didn't happen often because of the life he led. I had been having really bad nightmares since I'd been spending more time with him.

I had my face in his chest sobbing. His grip grew stronger and he then let me go, he lifted my head up so him and I were eye to eye.

There was something comforting about looking into his mysterious grey eyes. They were so dangerous yet so gentle for me.
Whispering he said "It's okay now, I'm here." Of course that only made me quiver and start sobbing all over again, but he just wrapped his arms around me again and held me, kissing my forehead and stroking my hair softly. I laid in the dark with my head on his chest being comforted by his presence until I fell back asleep.

The next morning I woke up to see the bad ass laying next to me.

"Aww, he looks so peaceful when he's sleeping." I thought aloud.

He woke up a little taken off guard by my voice and then smiled at the realization that it was me.
"Good morning my precious kill joy"

I could feel myself blush. I chuckled and playfully hit him on the arm at the comment.
"Good morning, my little angel sent from heaven"
He smiled back. "Ha good one."
Since I was sitting up he grabbed me by the shoulders and pulled me back down turning me over so I was then lying on his chest.

"So, you ready to talk about last night?" Taken by the question I stopped to think about it. A brief moment passed and I then began to remember everything that had happened.

Feeling a little embarrassed my voice grew quiet. "Umm, no... Not really, I'd rather not"

He squeezed me a little and then said "Well, you know you're gonna have to talk to me sooner or later ,because I can't let you walk around with something that had you that frantic on your mind." I smiled at his concern for me.
"Okay, I'll tell you, just not right now... I'm not really ready to talk" I was a little louder this time but still embarrassed.

"Okay I'll respect your wishes but you can't leave until you tell me." His eyes never leaving the ceiling.
I playfully hit him with my fist on the chest, "hey, isn't that being held hostage."
He just chuckled more and hugged me with his warm strong arms making me blush and feel all warm in side.
"It's only being held hostage if you don't wanna be here."

After a few minutes of silence and just cuddling I looked up. He looked back down at me not saying anything. I just stared into his eyes. There was something about his grey eyes, his white hair, his dangerous ways of life, his over protection towards me, his smart remarks, his sarcasm, and his childish ways that just made me fall madly in love him, but we couldn't be together as much as we wanted and I hated that. But the time we did get to spend together was wonderful and I cherished it. I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking about. My mind started racing with outrageous thoughts. Which by this time he'd already continued looking at the ceiling.

What if he loves someone else? What if he didn't love me and I'm just a fool? What if he- My thoughts were cut off by his voice.

"______", he said. Calling my name.

"Hmmm?"

He looked down at me with a concerned look. "I was wondering.... Can we stay like this... You know.... For today or... Ever... Maybe..."

"Well of course. I would love that, but what about your, you know, 'job'?"

"I can send Dante on call for me, I'm pretty sure he'll understand."

"Okay then yes, this is perfect" I couldn't help but grin wildly.

"Oh and _______"

"Yes" I looked back up at him.

He looked back down at me and kissed me. He slowly began to gain grip around my sides. After releasing his grip he smiled this goofy little grin.

"I love you"

I blushed so hard I began to feel my face hurt.
"I love you too"

For us to be as old as we were, and have done things we'd done, *wink wink* it was moments like this where he made the teenage childish little girl in me come out.
And yes he's told me he loves me before. But it was just the way he looked at me and the way I adored him that made it special even now. Even after all this time.
