From Last Chapter

Dante was deep in thought as he crouched down on the roof of his favorite spot, ironically it was a church. He wasn't sure how he felt toward the young man in his office. Nero was a sight, both in and outside the battlefield. The boy's easy going nature was like his own and his antics brought a smile to Dante's face every time. At night there were no more nightmares plaguing him. Instead they were rather pleasant dreams in which Dante cursed his alarm clock every time for interrupting them. He really didn't have time to consider a love interest. Everything had been hectic and Dante devoted his time in cleaning his father's mess in the Underworld, rather than the heartaches in the Human World. He's seen tits and ass to last him a few millennia but for some reason it didn't raise 'him' from the dead! Yea he put up the posters, got the porns but nothing worked! He remembered watching Nero sleep and he felt his heart go out to the slumbering beauty and he wanted to rest besides him and hold him close to his heart for all eternity…

Whoa! Hold up! Does that mean I'm GAY?

"That or you should go for the priesthood." Trish said from behind him. "Besides, Nero's perfect for you."

"How so?"

"You compliment each other." Trish said. "You're both different and yet the same. He reminds you of how you were; carefree, easy going and quite bouncy."

"What do I do?" Dante asked. "I don't have all the answers."

"You could always 'wing it'." Trish said, causing Dante to grin. "Or, the old fashioned courting." Trish watched the expression on Dante's face and smiled. The Demon Slayer was contemplating and from the look of it….He was gonna go for it!

"Alright then," Dante said as he stood up and looked at Trish. "Good ol' fashion courting it is! What do we do first?" Trish smiled on the outside however on the inside, she was squealing for joy! Operation Yaoi here we come!!

Chapter 2: Step One- Confrontation

Trish and the other ladies were all trying to plan and prepare for their two Dark Knights' special day. Trish, knowing Dante the best out of the trio, had taken it upon herself to 'help' out Dante. Question is: who was going to help Nero?

"Trish would have been better for this." Lucia said to Lady. "She's more of a people's person."

"Yes but Trish has taken to Dante." Lady said. "It's down to me or you with Nero."

"I haven't met the lad." Lucia said. "I'm more of a loner."

"As am I…However, the last time I went, Nero wanted to cut my head off." Lady said. Lucia had to hide a smile. She didn't know him yet, but she liked him already. Nero was always on his guard. The lad thought that Dante was in danger. He only wanted to protect what was his. The boy can't be blamed.

"Well, fine, I'll see to him." Lucia sighed. "After all, we like your head." With that she was gone off to the office, leaving Lady shaking her head and returning to their home to await the news.

"Trish, are you sure about this?" Dante asked as he looked at himself in the mirror dressed in a nice shirt and dress pants. "I feel like a dork."

"Come on, it's for the date anyway." Trish said. "It's not you'll be keeping it on for long."

"TRISH!" Dante said with a blush. "I can't….he's a kid!"

"No he's not, the boy is twenty one isn't he?"

"Yes."

"So he's legal." Trish said with a smirk. "You're just dodging the issue Dante."

"Am I?" The Demon Slayer asked. Trish looked at him and nodded. Dante looked away and sighed. He couldn't deny his growing affections for the younger knight anymore. He had actually had to avoid his cause he felt his restraints slipping away. It happened this morning before he went to meet Trish. He woke up and found that Nero was in the kitchen cooking. Yes out of the two of them, it turned out that the younger Knight was more domesticated than Dante. He remembered walking up to the younger man and watched him silently as he cooked. Nero had no idea that Dante was behind him. He had been daydreaming of him again. Then he remembered Dante's favorite thing for breakfast; French toast with sausages on the side with either orange juice or milk (this he always got mixed up). Dante watched as Nero set up his plate and went to the fridge and looked at the orange juice and the milk, deciding on which the elder one wanted. Dante smirked and walked up to him.

"'I would like ice cold milk better.'" He said teasingly. Nero's cerulean blue eyes widened in surprise as he met the gaze of the older man. Oh my god, how long has he been there?

"'Long enough.'" Dante answered. Nero shook his head clear, grabbed the milk and finished the preparations for breakfast and set it at the table. He watched with a smile on his face as Dante tore at it. He knew that Dante loved his cooking. He didn't have to say it; the reactions were enough for the younger man. He set up his own plate and went to eat elsewhere when he was stopped.

"'Nero, come and eat here, there's more than enough room.'" With a quick blush and a nod for the invitation Nero went and sat down next to the other man who smiled when he sat down and returned to his own breakfast. Nero smiled and both had eaten their breakfast in silence, enjoying each other's company...

"Dante, you're spacing out again." Trish said as the man shook his head. "This can't wait anymore. You are too into Nero. You have to make your move tonight."

"So what's the plan?"

"Wow, when was the last time you've been on a date?"

"A real date, well I never…really went on a real date." The Demon Slayer said. Trish had to sit down on this confession. Dante had never been on a date?!

"Dante…I have to ask but, are you…a…virgin?" Dante looked at Trish and blushed like mad. Trish couldn't believe this. The younger son of the great Sparda was actually a virgin!Oh man, I have work cut out for me.

Lucia knocked on the door to the office and waited. In less than five minutes the door opened and she couldn't believe it. Before her was a younger version of Sparda! But unlike Sparda who looked more masculine, Nero's features were softer.

"You must be Nero." She said gently with a smile. "My name is Lucia and I've come to see you. Can I come in?" Nero looked at her and smiled, allowing her into the office and offered her a seat.

"Sorry but when you came I was in the back organizing Dante's files. It's a wonder how he found anything in here." Lucia had to smile. Nero had a sense of humor and it showed. She waited for him to take a seat before she asked the next question.

"Nero, how do you feel about Dante?"

Oh boy our Demon Knights were confronted. Now what would their reactions be? Review to find out!
