Warning: Yaoi pairing Dante x Nero. If you don't like it, don't read. Sidenote I rated it M just in case. Right now I'd hardly call it T but I don't even know where this story might go.

Mission Impossible

Chapter 1: Don't look now

There he was, in the middle of the forest, fighting the last of a group of random demons with Nero. It was weird because demons of multiple species don't normally band together for anything. It was weirder because earlier that week Dante realized how in love he was with Nero.

"Dante? Dante…? DUDE!" Nero yelled, grabbing Dante's attention.

Dante looked up. "Wha?" he asked trying to recompose his face.

"They're all dead. What's wrong with you today?" Nero asked rather angrily.

"What do you mean?" asked Dante still phased.

"Dude, you're completely distracted. What's up?" he asked a little calmer as they headed back to Nero's car.

"Oh, I was just trying to figure out what to get Trish for her birthday." he lied trying to stop staring at the other half demon. What the hell. He knew he liked Nero but this was just unacceptable. Get it together. Nero was straight and he knew that. Oh wait Trish's birthday was a month ago, wasn't it? Dante hoped he didn't notice. Oh well just act natural. After all, how hot was Nero anyway? Nero jumped the side of the convertible, sweat dripping down his face from the heat of the day and the heat of the last battle. Really hot, apparently.

Nero didn't know what was going on in the old man's head but if he was going to lie he could do better than that. Trish's birthday was last month. Whatever just play it cool. "So what are you getting her?" he said as they started driving. There was seriously something wrong with Dante. He didn't even try to fight Nero for driver. God, he hoped Dante didn't notice. Oh but how could he not? Nero was, for the most part, more distracted than Dante. He'd have to be blind, deaf, and straight not to see how much Nero loved him. Oh wait, he was straight. He was also half demon so he could probably sense how horny he made Nero. Damnit. Maybe he should just tell Dante and risk the eternal teasing. He would… later.

"Hmm? Oh, I don't know yet."

He doesn't seem to notice anything they both thought simultaneously.

The rest of the car ride back to Devil May Cry was silence.

While for Dante, Devil May Cry was a lean to - if he locked himself out of his house or was too tired or lazy to go home after a mission - for Nero, since he couldn't bring himself to go back to Fortuna, it was home. He'd helped Nero turn the storage room down the hall from his room into a make-shift bedroom until he could do some real work to it. And since the kid had decided to take up residence there Dante felt like he should move in too. Bad idea. He and Trish had already decided they were better off as friends and he had talked to her about Nero earlier that week. This was good, this meant he had someone to talk to about his new discovered feelings for Nero. When Nero came down the stairs soaking wet and in nothing but a towel to get a soda, Dante did just that.

"What do I do? I can't stay here. It's been less than a week, and I'm already ready to jump him." Dante said frantically into the phone when Nero had gone back upstairs.

Trish laughed. "You could stay at you're house." she suggested pointedly.

"Well I can't leave the kid here by himself." he protested as if Nero were 10.

"He's what, 20 years old? He's a big boy he can take care of himself." she said teasingly. Dante sighed in defeat. "Fine, I tell you what you can stay at my house tonight." Trish offered. "But be warned Lady's sleeping over too and I'm not sure how she'll take it." He hung up the phone and ran upstairs to pack a duffle bag. Nero noticed and decided to see what was going on.

"Where ya goin'?" he asked slyly. Dante jumped higher then he thought he could.

"Nero, you scared me." he said nervously stating the obvious.

"Well someone's a little jumpy." Nero noted playfully.

"I'm spending the night at a friend's." Dante said, answering the initial question.

"Oh, ok. See you tomorrow morning." Nero said yawning. He turned around and headed back to his room, trying so desperately to hide the pang of disappointment. Dante rushed out of the house and headed to Trish's.

First fanfic ever. I'm addicted to this pairing so I thought I should start with something I know and love. Hope you like it. Please comment and Review. Chapter two coming soon.
