Summary: Fifty themes that show how Dante and Lady care for each other.
A/N: All right, so my friend and I decided to do all five theme sets in that LJ comm for our respective pairings. Here's the next installment of mine; hope you like it!

01 – Walking

Whenever she was too tired to take another step deeper into the Demon Tower, the mere thought of his smug face was enough to get her angry and make her keep on walking.

02 – Waltz

Physically, verbally, emotionally; they'd waltzed around each other for so long till he'd taken the lead and kissed her.

03 – Wishes

Lady had thought wishes never came true, especially since her mother had died, but it looked like she'd found her Prince Charming, albeit a coarser version than the one she'd envisioned as a child.

04 – Wonder

With his flagrant flirting, bad manners, and giant ego, it was a wonder she hadn't killed him yet.

05 – Worry

She knew his intentions were good, but his constant worrying over her safety during demon hunts was really starting to piss her off.

06 – Whimsy

She'd kiss him on a whimsy, and she hadn't regretted it since.

07 – Waste

Let it be said that Dante never wasted a chance to show Lady how much he loved her.

08 – Whiskey and Rum

Whiskey, rum, gin, cognac; Dante was amazed at how much alcohol this little Lady could take as she soundly won their drinking contest with a smug, if a tad tipsy, grin on her face.

09 – War

Pillows and feathers flew through the air of the bedroom as the couple engaged in an all-out war of 'who-gets-to-use-the-bathroom-first'.

10 – Weddings

They didn't have any family or friends to attend this very special day, but now they at least had each other for the rest of their lives.

11 – Birthday

They spent her birthday eating chocolate cake, talking, laughing, and Dante painting her toenails for her, and Lady wouldn't have it any other way.

12 – Blessing

He thought God had forsaken him since that fateful day when he'd lost his mother and brother, but meeting and snagging Lady made him re-think that perhaps God still gave him His blessings after all.

13 – Bias

Dante thought that Lady was the most beautiful creature in Heaven, Earth or Hell, but maybe he was just biased.

14 – Burning

The pain made her pale skin burn red with heat, and sweat rolled down her face in rivulets, but when she heard the first cries of her just born son, Lady knew she'd passed the gauntlet and had gotten her prize.

15 – Breathing

They regretfully parted their long, passionate kiss in order to breathe, and both silently cursed their need for oxygen.

16 – Breaking

Dante had broken her mistaken idea that all devils were inherently evil, and Lady had broken his habit of self-centered irresponsibility; after they re-made themselves from the shattered pieces they found that they were better people for it.

17 – Belief

Though they'd just finished fighting against each other in the Divine Library, when he told her he'd take care of everything for her, Lady believed him.

18 – Balloon

It never failed; whenever he kissed Lady her heart would balloon up to the sky and stay there all day.

19 – Balcony

From the balcony Lady watched in triumph as the demon was engulfed in fire from her Kalina Ann's rocket; Dante cheered with her and gave her a congratulatory pat on the ass.

20 – Bane

It was amazing how Dante, the half-demon, had been the bane of her existence, but now Dante, the devil-hunter, was the reason she kept on living.

21 – Quiet

Lady remembered how quiet and reserved her childhood had been, and she never wanted to experience that again; Dante was only too happy to oblige.

22 – Quirks

To say that he had a few quirks was a major understatement, but Lady knew she wasn't perfect either, and so both were content to be flawed as long as they were together.

23 – Question

Right before he'd popped the Big Question to her, Dante would have preferred to fight a legion of Vergils instead, but once that "yes!" had issued forth from her lips the elation in his heart felt like he had just conquered said legion.

24 – Quarrel

Old age hadn't mollified them one bit; they still quarreled like when they were twenty and made out exactly like in their youth, much to their son's mortification and disgust.

25 – Quitting

As a last resort to save their relationship Lady promised to quit nagging so much while Dante promised to quit being such a slob; the bet didn't last two days but their love ended up lasting a lifetime.

26 – Jump

He'd jump straight into Hell for her, and Dante knew that she would do the same.

27 – Jester

Dante would gladly act the fool just to make her smile.

28 – Jousting

In Dante's opinion verbally jousting with Lady should be an Olympic event and winning it should earn him an instant gold medal; so far he hadn't won anything yet.

29 – Jewel

Lady loved staring into his sapphire eyes when they were making love to each other.

30 – Just

She didn't think it was fair that her past was so screwed up, but having Dante made up for it.

31 – Smirk

Lady couldn't help but smirk at his dumbstruck expression when she met him naked at the front door.

32 – Sorrow

Sometimes a black mood would overwhelm her to the point of tears, but Dante's kisses and tender words always saved her from her sorrows.

33 – Stupidity

Dante might act like a brainless goof most of the time, but assuming that was all he could be was sheer stupidity in Lady's opinion.

34 – Serenade

Lady kept back her laughter as Dante serenaded her with his electric guitar; he'd written this song, complete with cheesy lyrics, just for her after all.

35 – Sarcasm

Dante knew Lady was just being sarcastic when she told him he was sleeping on the couch tonight ... or at least he hoped so.

36 – Sordid

She'd never admit it, but Lady loved it when Dante talked dirty to her.

37 – Soliloquy

"I love you," was never a soliloquy for her now; it would always be a duet.

38 – Sojourn

It didn't matter which foreign land Dante sojourned in; he knew he'd always have someone to come home to.

39 – Share

Dante guiltily looked at Lady after he popped the last piece of chocolate into his mouth, but he was good enough to share it with her in a kiss.

40 – Solitary

The gold ring on his left hand reminded him that he'd never be alone again.

41 – Nowhere

There was nowhere in the world Lady would rather be than here in his arms.

42 – Neutral

His face was perfectly neutral when he met her at the door in nothing but a fire-engine red thong, but he couldn't help but laugh when she dropped all the groceries on the floor.

43 – Nuance

Dante didn't believe in hinting at things with subtle words and loaded nuances; his method went straight for the throat, and he did just that as he took Lady right on the pool table.

44 – Near

No matter how close to Dante Lady got, she could never get near enough to placate her heart.

45 – Natural

Dante thought that it was only natural for him to be the protector of his family, but as he watched Lady blow away the demon with her rifle, he knew he had some competition in that department.

46 - Horizon

Lady held her breath as her eyes worriedly scanned the horizon; she couldn't inhale again till she saw his head breaking through the water's surface.

47 – Valiant

He put up a valiant effort to try and keep his mind on work, but after watching Lady flounce around Devil May Cry in nothing but her robe Dante promptly forgot about the documents he was reading and chased after her.

48 – Virtuous

She may have been named after the most virtuous woman to ever exist, but Lady had some pretty crazy and quite naughty ideas when it came to sex.

49 – Victory

Dante's key to winning over Lady: his innocent smile; she was a sucker for that and always forgave him, no matter what he'd done to earn her ire.

50 – Defeat

Lady's key to defeating Dante: his stomach; he loved it when she ran her hands over his toned abs and could never deny any of her requests when she did.
