Nero's eyes cracked open as he felt sunlight shining on his face rousing him from his deep slumber. He furrowed his eyebrows trying to adjust his sight so that it wasn't blurry, he quickly flicked his gaze around finding everything was very blurry, but the vents where heat was still pouring out were a yellowish color.
"Huh?" he mumbled, looking over at Dante seeing the older hunter blearily mixed in with shades of yellows and red identifying where the older slayer was warm.
"You okay ki- whoa. You seeing okay kid?" he asked, noticing that now Nero's eyes were a bright blue to match his scales and his pupils were completely slit.
"No. It's blurry, like a mixture of regular sight and thermal goggles." he said rubbing at his eyes.
Dante sighed. "I guess you're seeing in total snake vision now. Don't worry kid, we'll have you back to normal in no time." he promised. Nero closed his eyes tightly and nodded in response.
"Are we close to Devil May Cry?"
"Yeah, nearly there. Then all we gotta do is blend up those herbs and put them over the scales you have…and blah blah, you're cured!" he said vaguely.
Nero didn't much like the sound of the 'blah blah' part of this plan and slid his gaze over to the older man.
"What happens once we put that stuff on?" he hissed suspiciously his tongue flicking out.
"Just some hocus pocus, you know?"
Nero paused. "I'm trusting you old man."
"That is a good idea my friend." he said reaching over to lightly pat Nero's left hand. The younger turned his hand over and lightly grabbed Dante's fingers the warmth of them seeming to comfort him somewhat. The older slayer gently smiled and let him hold onto him for the rest of the drive.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two finally returned to Devil May Cry taking all of the plants inside.
"So what do we do?"
"I apparently have to puree all these plants." Dante stated. "And that's why I have a blender!"
"You have a blender?" Nero wondered, following the older hunter into the kitchen.
"Yeah!…somewhere." he mumbled looking around in the cabinets. Nero chuckled softly watching the older hunter, as best he could, sift through his kitchen. "Ah ha!" he shouted triumphantly revealing a blender that had probably been around in the twenties.
"…I don't have to eat…any of the stuff that comes out of there do I?" the younger hunter asked, folding his arms and leaning against the counter.
"Nope." Dante promised starting to drop different amounts of the plants into the blending machine including the whole Daemn Rosa and the bloody substance that it produced. Nero's tongue flicked out to taste the air as he watched Dante work.
The older hunter blended the concoction until it was a reddish brown color. "Okay…guess this is it kid. Strip from the waist up, we have to put this wherever your scales are."
"Okay." Nero sighed and nodded peeling off all of his remaining layers of clothing and trying not to shiver as the air touched his exposed scaly skin.
Dante slipped out of his own jacket and dipped one of his hands into the mixture and started painting it across the younger slayer's chest.
"D-does it have to be any special way?" Nero asked hesitantly, shivering instead at Dante's hot touch.
"No." he replied. "Just glop and smear." he said as Nero reached over and started to paint his arms with the stuff. Dante moved around behind the younger hunter and spread the potion over his back causing another shutter to ripple down Nero's spine. "Sensitive much kid?" he grinned.
"No!" Nero muttered venomously. "It's cold and your hands are really warm." he replied fighting back a blush.
"Whatever you say kid." Dante smirked.
Soon the younger hunter was covered with a thin layer of the goop. "So now what?" he muttered.
"Well…it says here that we're suppose to light this stuff." Dante said sheepishly.
"Light?…as in…set me on fire!?" he demanded.
"Yeah-it's not suppose to hurt or anything, it'll just burn off the…" he waved his hand. "Stuff, and then your scales and…stuff will be gone."
The younger slayer took in a deep breath. "You better be right about this…just…do it." he mumbled sucking in and holding his breath as well as closing his eyes tightly.
Dante picked up a matchbook and struck one, praying that it wouldn't hurt the kid as he lightly touched it to the material coating Nero's upper-half. As soon as the blaze touched it burst out-the flame taking on a green tint as it flew over the young slayer's chest down his arms and around his back, leaving nothing but pale flesh and old scars in it's wake.
After a minute Nero let out the breath, but didn't open his eyes. "I told you just do it Dante!"
"I did!" the older hunter chuckled, as Nero cracked open a misty blue-human-eye.
"Really?" he asked before slowly looking down at himself finding his skin totally intact, lightly touching it just to be sure.
Dante was still chuckling. "You didn't feel a damn thing did you?"
"No…" he replied, looking over his arms.
"See? Ya big baby."
"Yeah well what if I said I was gonna set you on fire!?" he defended, lightly punching the older hunter's shoulder.
"I'd say been there, done that, not going back." he chuckled, snagging his arm around Nero's hips and pulling him over. His hand gently brushed the young hunter's cheek. "You warm now?"
"Yeah, it's fucking hot in here actually." he answered.
"Yeah, you know it." Dante grinned cockily.
"You're a pervert." Nero snickered.
"But I'm your pervert!"
"Damn straight." he smiled. "But you promised me anything I wanted after that curse was gone…I'm not scaly anymore…no forked tongue." he smirked, reaching up with his devil bringer to lightly brush it over Dante's jaw and tilt his head slightly before meshing their lips confidently.
The elder hunter returned the gesture, his hands slowly running over Nero's sides, pausing at his ribs as he faltered. The younger slayer paused as well, pulling back.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing-just wondering if your ribs feel okay, because they feel fine to me." he purred.
"Hmm," he smirked. "I have much more important things to think about-like how to get all these Goddamn belts off you." he stated, trying to figure out how to get said buckles undone.
Dante laughed before recapturing Nero's lips, and helping to remove the belts from his chest. They clanked noisily to the floor as Dante started pushing the younger hunter back until his knees hit the couch. Nero fell backwards and grabbed the older hunter's shoulders pulling him along as he fell onto the cushions. The younger slayer's hands slipped under Dante's shirt to slide it off so he could run said hands freely over his warm muscled chest.
The older male rubbed his hips against Nero's making him growl, his claws lightly scraping over Dante's back.
"Mm Dante." he breathed as the older hunter nipped and licked at his neck. At that moment the phone started to ring. "Ugh, shit. Dante-the phone-" he grumbled in disappointment before the older man kissed him again cutting him off.
"Let it ring." he smirked mischievously, taking up his lips once more.

Yep! This is the end! So I really hope that you guys enjoyed Diamondback as much as I enjoyed writing it! I may finish this lemon if I get enough interest in it ;) So leave me a review and tell me how I did!
Now, for a small break from the usual…
"So…Dante. I found this broken garage door opener and the back comes off. There are a bunch of little switches on it that go to different numbers and letters. I was wondering what would happen if we switched them around. What do you think will happen?"
"I have no idea, but my guess is that someone's garage door will open and close." *bites into pizza slice*
"Well let's try it out." *switches around the plates* "Okay ready?"
"Sure, go for it." *takes another bite* "Damn olives."
*pushes the button* "Huh…guess it didn't do anything." *looks over at Dante* *all of Dante's belts unfasten and fall off along with his pants, revealing a pair of black boxers with white skulls* O_O;
"Huh…that was unexpected…" *continues eating pizza*
"Oh, so that's how they come off!" *giggles* "Sweet. Oh NERO!!"
O.O "HEY! BRING THAT BACK!" *tries to get pants back on while juggling pizza*
XD I love all of you guys and hopefully between school and everything I'll come up with a new idea for these two, but until then this is-
Sayoonara!
