From Last Chapter

"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?"

Chapter 3: Reactions and Reunion

Nero looked at the red haired woman, blushing like mad at the fact that he had been put in the spot. How did he feel about Dante? Nero's mind raced and his heart pounded in his ears. He loved Dante with all his heart. He would kick and kill anyone who did the elder man any harm. Lucia looked at the boy and smiled.

"You love him." She said. "I can tell." Nero looked at her and nodded.

"He's my heart." The younger Knight whispered. "Although he's a bit of a pain…"

"In the ass?" A strange voice from the shadows finished with a chuckle. "I can vouch for that." Nero and Lucia looked at the tall figure dressed in blue and black and another voice gasped.

"Vergil?" She asked. "You're alive?"

"Last time I checked yes." Vergil said as he sat on Dante's desk, which caused Nero to growl a bit. Vergil looked at the growling youngster and smiled. "Oh that's right this is Dante's desk. Sorry." He settled into a chair and the growling stopped. "So what's going on here? Who is this boy? What a surprise to see you again, Mary." The other woman, Mary (aka Lady) glowered at the other man and aimed a gun in his face. Nero squeaked and grabbed the gun.

"Oh, no you don't!" He said. "I just cleaned this office. You want to fight, take it outside." The trio looked at the youngster and smirked. So domesticated…

"Fine but Nero, think you can referee? Vergil here likes to play dirty."

"I can't. I have to make dinner. Dante will be home soon." With that the younger man went to the kitchen while Vergil was left blinking.

"Um, don't take this the wrong way but, when did Dante land a wife?"

"Nero, his name is Nero." Lady said. "And yes he's acting like a wife because he's in love with your brother." Vergil looked at her like she grew two more heads.

"Are you kidding?" Vergil asked. "My brother slept with this boy?"

"Not yet." Trish greeted. "Oh hi Vergil, you finally came back to us."

"Trish what the HELL is going on?" He asked. "And where is Dante?"

"Where's Nero?" Trish asked. Vergil nodded to where the kitchen was and Trish smiled.

"Nero, get out here."

"What is it now?" An irate younger Dark Knight asked. "I'm trying to…." He was cut short when Trish stepped to the side and Dante was in the doorway. He was dressed in a deep red and black suit. In his arms were two dozen long stemmed dark red roses. Nero blinked and willed himself to breathe. "Oh my…"

"Wow Dante you look great!" Lady said. "If I wasn't gay I'd jump you."

"So would I." Lucia admitted. "You really look delicious."

"Okay back it up you two, older brother coming through." Vergil said in amusement as he looked at his brother. He smiled in approval.

"You should keep these colors. They suit you." As he fixed his brother's collar Nero was still admiring Dante. He came forward shyly and Dante looked at him.

"Hey kiddo," He said with a purr. "These are for you." He gave him the roses and smiled. Nero blushed and with a kiss to Dante's cheek, went to put them in water and placed them onto his own desk.

"Thank you Dante, they're beautiful."

"They're not as beautiful as their owner, kiddo. Listen, why don't we go out tonight?" Vergil looked at the interaction and was speechless. His brother was growing up right before his eyes. Nero looked at Dante and nodded.

"Let me get my coat." Nero said softly as he walked off to grab his coat. Trish, Lucia and Lady looked at the patient Dante and the bemused Vergil.

"This is …quite a change." Vergil said as he looked at his younger twin. "I remember a certain brash upstart who thought he ruled the world."

"Well, even a brash upstart has to settle down someday." Dante said with a smile. "You're as calm and collected as ever."

"That's never going to change Dante." He said with a smirk. "So what are your plans for the evening?" With this Dante smirked and looked at his brother. Vergil had to chuckle at the look. It was the young brash, upstart rogue that he remembered.

"I'm going to steal his heart."

Oh boy, Dante's on the prowl! And Vergil's back, what else could happen? Review to know.
