Warnings- Mention of Nero/Kyrie in this.

Prompt- #86 Choices

This was done for two challenges and I felt like doing something with Nero leaving Kyrie. Don't know why, but I never really addressed it like this... . So yeah, here it is. There is no Dante in this, just mentions of him. This is a shorty, but I felt that if I put too much more in it would be dragging it out. I want to thank everyone who reviewed, alerted and/or faved this. Enjoy!

Crossroads

The white haired half-demon let out a soft sigh, running a hand through his hair, his gaze focused on the glowing sign. Devil May Cry was both a blessing and a curse. He could be himself and yet he was never faithful to her. Fortuna was his home and he had Kyrie, his loving wife. So why did he always go back to Devil May Cry?

Rolling over his white hair fell over his face, the icy blue hues closed from view. Beside him was his woman, his glowing arm wrapped around the thin waist of Kyrie, pulling her closer to his body. The fact that he was having thoughts of being with another man while with her made him feel worse. There was just something alluring and addicting about being able to give up the control he always held, fighting with a lust for blood and sex, and feeling safe. With Dante, he felt all of that, but he loved the woman before him.

The feelings that ran through his body made his heart flutter every time he was near her, their kisses leaving him wanting more and their most intimate moments treasured memories. Being with the woman was gentle, cautious, safe and normal. He yearned for normal ever since he had given himself up for the woman. With the thoughts of his half-demon status, he clenched the fingers on his glowing armored hand, grabbing the sheets around him.

The half-demon never dared touch his wife with the appendage when they were doing most intimate things and he even managed to avoid touching her in everyday life as well. Kryie was pure and he was tainted and ruined. Maybe that was why he loved Dante and what he shared just as much. He would never admit it to the hunter, but he truly cared for him. When he was around him, his choice made him really see the bright side of it all. He wasn't reminded of his human past, and he was shown the upside to having humanity, but being a half creature

.It couldn't be like that, when he was with her nothing even came to close to the pleasure and the freedom he felt when he was around Dante, but he loved her. He had risked it all, became a monster for her. His mind and heart were town in two, each side wanting the both of them. He had to make a decision though, in fact, he had already. This night would mark the next road in the path of his life one that he would never be able to look back on and regret.

Leaning forward he kissed the woman on her lips one last time, before slipping out of bed, fixing his clothing. Quietly he stepped out of the room gathering a few things, before leaving the apartment and the woman. The guilt was something he could no longer bare and he loved Kyrie deeply, but he couldn't be a human for her.

The streets outside were dark, the few streetlights in Fortuna casting most of the cobblestone in darkness still. Nero stuck to the middle, wiping the lone tear that made a way down his cheek. He knew this was for the best, that Kyrie deserved a human and he had found comfort in another.

Fortuna was no longer his home, not after this. The ring that had marked the marriage between himself and his wife was gone, resting on the note he had left her. From this moment, forward Dante was his home and wherever that brought him.
