Dante didn't believe in last minute shopping. But here he was, in the nearest jewelry store. He'd rather get stabbed several times than go to the mall. Now, that was a nightmare. Anyway, he was browsing around, looking for something in particular. When he found it, he asked the old man, who was the jeweler, to customize it. He even showed him a picture, to make it more accurate. The jeweler nodded, taking the money and picture Dante handed him.

Leaving the store, the demon hunter whistled his way back home.

Vergil walked into the same jewelry store several minutes later. The elderly man did a double take before just shrugging it off. Nothing was ordinary around these parts anyway. Watching the blue-clad twin, he chuckled to himself when Vergil stopped in the exact same spot Dante had. He walked over to Vergil's side and asked if he wanted to buy it. Vergil nodded and took out a picture, showing the jeweler a similar but different type of jewelry. Giving him the money and picture, Vergil left the store. And made the same turn Dante had.

The old man smiled to himself and went to the back of the store, making preparations for their gifts.

The next day came and the twins both walked out of the house at the same time. They eyed each other before shrugging it off. But once they reached the jewelry store, they became suspicious of each other. Neither made a move to enter and didn't know what to do. They didn't want to ruin the element of surprise but that was settled once the jeweler came out with 2 small boxes.

He handed the blue box to Dante and gave Vergil the red one. Both twins raised their eyebrows in unison, silently questioning the elder. He just smiled and gestured them to open their presents. They did. And stared. And stared. A few more minutes passed before they began laughing. The twins pocketed their gifts and walked back home, side by side.

Watching the twins leave, the jeweler went back into the store. He crossed off a few things in his notepad.
