Hidden Love (DMC 5 Nero x OC) [completed]

1.

It's been about an hour and Nico still hasn't returned from her shopping trip and it's starting to make Nero anxious.
Now with the demons coming back it's only a matter of time until they attack one of the crew unguarded.

Suddenly he hears loud squeaking coming from outside the garage. That sound can only mean that Nico has returned.
Impatient Nero jumps up from his seat and goes to the van outside.
"Hey there, partner!" Nico jumps off the van with a big bag on her shoulders. "Where the hell have you been?", The white haired male asks in a demanding tone.
"Chill out, I just met an old friend, what's the big deal?"
"There are demons running around and as far as I know, you don't know how to protect yours-"

Nero stops his flow of words as he sees another person getting off the van. The person walks around the front and stands next to Nico who has a bright smile on her face.
"This is my friend-"
"Rose", Nero says as he looks the blonde girl into her green eyes. "Nero, how have you been? Like the short hair by the way." She smiles almost with sadness hiding in her eyes.

"I-I'm doing good. What about you? I haven't seen you in forever!" Rose chuckles. "I'm doing good. I was strolling around town when Nico found me and when she asked me to help 'Devil May Cry' with their gear I was up for it", She explains.

Nero's heart begins to crack a little.
This girl. This wonderful, selfless and beautiful human being. He rejected her because he thought he was in love with Kyrie but it was all a lie he told himself.
He loved Rose and still does but he was a fool for not seeing it.

"Then make yourself at home! You can stay as long as you like. Keep away from Dante though. He's a bit of a creep." Nero smiles as Rose giggles.
Just in that moment Dante enters the garage through the door. "Speaking of the devil", Nero sighs.
"Hey! Rose! How have you been, sweetie!" Dante runs over and hugs Rose which catches her by surprise. "I'm doing okay, what about you?"
"Getting by. With demons in town the business is rising again. I see you've gone through a few changes." The silver haired male says while eyeing the blonde girl from head to toe.

Nero rams his elbow into Dante's side causing him to yelp. Dante looks at Nero who is wearing an annoyed expression on his face. "Oh, I see", Dante sighs with a chuckle. "You two are a thing?" Nero smacks Dante across the cheek. "Nero!" The male looks into the green eyes of the girl he loves.

"Anyway, I have business to do and Nico you are free to come with me", Dante suggests in order to give Rose and Nero some alone time. "Right up, Mister Dante! By the way there's this weapon I upgraded for you..."
The two wander off into Nico's van and drive off.
"Do you want to drink something?", Nero asks Rose shyly. "No, I'm good, but thanks." She smiles. "Is it okay if you show me around here?"
"Sure!"
