"How long is he been like this?"

"Don't know, weeks?"

Lady and Trish look at Dante from the kitchen. Ever since Dante witnesses Vergil's dead, again... Plus that his mind's still fragile and weak, his mind and heart shattered when Vergil fell down the cliff, again.

That night they dragged him back Devil May Cry, he keep on crying, and run around the shop, from top to bottom, bottom to top. Saying he wanted Rebellion, Ebony and ivory, he wants to save Vergil, he wants to go down to underworld to find him. They tried to comfort him but Dante really lost his mind, he keep on crying and screaming, they also are forced to hide Rebellion, Ebony and ivory so Dante won't do anything stupid...

The next few days, Dante break down, his tears can't stop flowing down. He curled himself in the corner, he hid himself in the darkness, he's scare, and he's alone now. He won't talk, he won't smile, he won't even budged from his position, he sleeps there, and most of the time, he cries there.

Every one of them tried to talk to him, comfort him, but it seems it didn't work out. Dante just sat there, his eyes locked on the door, it seems like he was waiting for someone's return, and they knew who's it, but they also knew that person ain't coming back, forever...

It was his third week, Dante still sat at the corner, and today he was humming something weird, even he himself doesn't know what he is doing. Lady, Trish and Nero sighed heavily, Nero walk towards Dante, lets try again, at least let him move from his current position...

"Dante..." No reply, Nero sighed lightly, he shook Dante a little, and that he earn a little shrieked from Dante. "Dante, come, Dante... Let's at least go upstairs, let's get some sleep first okay?"

Dante shivered when Nero tried to carry him, but soon Dante let Nero to do whatever he wants because he has no energy to push him away. Nero carries him upstairs and placed him on the bed, he then slowly covered Dante with the white blanket, and left quietly.

Trish and Lady were cleaning the living room, Lady soon knock down a calendar, which it seems so rare because Dante never keep one of these stuffs... Lady picked up the calendar and look at it, it was a few years back calendar, why do he still keeping this anyway?

She looks at a big red circle that marks... Tomorrow? What's tomorrow? She looks closely at the scribbles that... Our birthday? Wait! Wait a minute!

"BIRTHDAY!"

Trish shot up, she looks at Lady, and Nero was shocked on his way downstairs and almost rolls down stairs. They went near Lady and look at the calendar she's holding, Trish looks carefully and gasped. "T-tomorrow's Dante's birthday?"

Lady nodded, even though it's few years back's calendar, the day it circle on it it's the day tomorrow! Nero looks at the two girls. "Did he ever celebrate his own birthday?"

The two shook their heads, Dante used to celebrate his birthday with... Vergil... He got a half perfect amulet for his last birthday, and Vergil got the same. Lady found the two half perfect amulet in his drawer, a gold chained one and another silver chained. The silver one's Dante's whereas the gold one's Vergil's.

Dante found Vergil's half perfect amulet at the island where he fought a creature named Nelo Angelo, after its defeat it drops down this amulet where supposed to be Vergil's. Dante soon discovered, he killed his own brother...

It's almost night and the three of them was planning on a birthday party for Dante, just a small one, to make him happy, they hoped. The door knocked, faintly but it's still loud enough for them to hear. Nero sighed and walked towards the door, he thought he already put up the sign closed right? Well, they bought one, because Dante never had one.

"Sorry, the shop's closed for..." Nero mouth widen, eyes widen, his motion stopped. No way! It's... Lady and Trish walk towards the door, what's taking Nero so long to... They all gasped, it's raining outside, and the figure standing outside's wet and mostly covered with blood. The silver hair, blue coat, and Yamato...

"V-Vergil..."

Vergil just give a bitter smile, he doesn't know why he come back here, but... It's like a part of him wanted him to do this, he won't let Dante be alone, they're only each other had. "Can I see...? Dante?"

They nodded. "He's upstairs..." Vergil nodded signify he says thanks. He rushes upstairs and turned into the dark room. Here he remembers, he shared this room with Dante when they were just a little kid. He stepped inside the room, quietly and slowly. Dante was sleeping, well not really... He was crying and mumbling weird stuffs...

Vergil slowly sat beside Dante, carefully wipe away the blood stains in his hand, and he caressed Dante's hair carefully. The clock struck twelve o'clock, Vergil smiles, he hugged Dante lightly. "I'm sorry Dante, I won't leave you alone anymore, and we'll stay together from now. Happy birthday Dante..."

-The day after-

"Happy birthday Vergil! Dante!"

Dante giggled and blew out all the candles, Vergil just look at him, smiling. Dante smiled and threw his portion of cake towards Nero's face, Nero's suddenly snapped and soon you will find the store full with whipped cream and Nero furious shouting.

Lady and Trish laughed; Kyrie took out another cake, just for back up if they started 'cake fight'. Kyrie hand a small portion of strawberry cake to Vergil, Vergil smiled at her and look at Dante, who now having fun playing with whipped cream and cake.

"We're surprise you're still alive..." Lady opened the topic, Vergil shook his head, and he put his plate of cake down, and brings a cup of tea near his mouth. "I thought I was dead that time..." Yeah, that time he was covered in blood, Aries's body's beside him, and his vision's getting dizzier and dizzier, he almost can see hell that time. Maybe it's the end, really the end, for him...

But he suddenly thought of Dante, he still can hear Dante screaming his name up at the cliff, the feelings' back again, alone, fear, Vergil feel something roll down his cheek. Damn it; stop crying, why's he crying? He thought again, the memory he had when he was a child, with Dante.

Dante smiles to him, Dante annoys him, Dante somehow, bullies him, talk to him, hugged him, tell him stupid jokes and throwing his textbooks around because he doesn't want to study. Everything he had with Dante, Vergil's tears flow even more, and then when they were older, they fought, they battled. Dante scream at him, hate him, curse him... Vergil doesn't want this, he just want his late father's power, he want to protect Dante. When he witness his mother's dead, Dante's fear, he wanted to be strong, human's weak, he just want to be strong...

Somehow a power lifts him up from death, he must go and see Dante, he must live... Vergil stands up carefully and holds Yamato firmly, any demons on his way were executed, and he walks carefully along the way up. He thought again, the next three weeks' their birthday, that day, just that day! Just let him arrive there in time. At least if he were to die, he must tell Dante, that he still love him as his little brother, and happy birthday...

He reached the shop just in time, he was in joy, that time, that day, for the first time god blesses him, and he thanked god, for letting him live. Nero bought the three back to reality. "Dante's asleep..."

Vergil stood up and walked towards Dante, who curled in the couched and sleeps happily with that idiot smile on his face. Vergil carries him up and brings him to the room, he covered him with blanket and Vergil caressed his silver hair softly.

Outside the peaceful street, the shop sign still blinked on and off. What's the shop name again? Oh yeah, Devil May Cry.
