Just a short piece of cliche fluff I wrote some months ago. Hope someone else enjoys it as much as I do ^^

Long Day
It had been a long day of demon slaying for both devil hunters in that house, so Dante wasn't surprised when he saw Nero lazily thrown and already in a deep slumber on the couch in the main room at only 10 o'clock. Considering they used to go to bed at midnight or later, that was enough to see how tired the boy was. Dante smiled to himself and walked towards the couch.
"What a scene" Dante laughed. Though, you're right, kid. Today was a very tiring day, I should be going to bed as well." He stared a little more at the boy's face, and seeing he really hadn't heard him and wasn't going to wake up, he simply turned around and started to make his way to the stairs, but stopped in his tracks on a second thought. Sure that Nero was looking too cute there to be bothered to get up and go to his bed to get some decent sleep, but it also seemed too cruel to simply leave him there.
"Ah, I should stop being such a soft-heart towards this kid..." Dante sighed, but made his way back near the couch anyway. He crouched down a bit and took Nero in his arms, while the other didn't even move or grunt. Then the older one started to walking to the stair again, but now carrying the younger one with him.
Once he got upstairs and entered the bedroom, he went near the bed and gently lay the boy there.
"There you go, kid." Dante said, letting go of the boy. "Now you'll get a decent rest."
"Hm... what...?" Nero partially woke and grunted, without opening his eyes.
"Nothing, just keep sleeping" Dante closed the windows' curtains, took the freedom to also take off the younger one's boots and, after that, get him a blanket. It was getting a bit cold.
Nero, as soon as he noticed the blanket over his body, rolled himself in it and turned to the side, never opening his eyes.
"Good night... Nero" Dante went out of the room and said, closing the door right after.
