Now keep in mind I haven't written fics since like high school so I am a bit rusty, but I'm going through some shit in real life and writing about my favorite fictional characters helps me escape the stressful world so don't judge 😛 And DMC is currently the only thing that brings a real smile to my face so I really want to get into writing again and luckily role playing helps a lot with idea's so updates will hopefully be frequent. Now what to expect in this story.. Mainly Vergil is a hot mess xD Mostly because that's how I role play him also other than Nero and Kyrie I do not ship anyone with anyone so other than those two there will be no ships }
Vergil let out an aggressive sigh as he sat in a corner with his knees to his chest, it had been almost three weeks since him and his brother returned from the underworld, and at first the elder twin was a bit hesitant on leaving but being the stubborn idiot brother Dante was, he wasn't leaving the underworld without the other so here he was in the corner of the shop at almost midnight unable to sleep once again.
He let out a small growl as he thought over his situation, in the underworld he didn't require these human needs such as sleep and food but after almost two weeks in the human world without either of those things he felt like shit. Though to be fair he has tried taking part in the whole sleeping thing but every time he closes his damn eyes he sees 'HIS' face and hears 'HIS' voice taunting him and tormenting him till he's awakened by his own screams, so he just gave up on the whole sleeping thing altogether and the bags under his eyes is proof of that.
"I don't belong here..." he whispered as rested his head on his knee, staring off into nothing as he clutched Yamato in his hand
"I have to leave... No one will care if I go anyways, and Dante, Dante will get over it eventually." He shifted his gaze to the staircase half expecting the younger white haired male to be standing there ready to pounce on his brother if he dared to even try to leave, but when nothing but silence greeted him he decided to stand to his feet even though his body screamed at him to lie down on the couch, that it couldn't take much more of this abuse but Unfortunately Vergil was just as proud and stubborn as his brother so ignoring the slight fatigue he slowly and quietly made his way out of the shop and began walking down the streets of the city, trying to decide where he could open a portal unseen and unheard but his sleep deprived mind wasn't working to its full potential much to Vergil's disappointment.. And the more he walked the more clouded his mind became he didn't even register the fact he seemed to come to a complete stop, leaning heavily against a tree
"What is wrong with this world?" He growled out as he tried to command his body to listen to him and use Yamato to open a portal but instead he sank to the ground as his eyes became heavier and despite his best efforts he soon found the darkness taken over and all he could do was let a shaky breath as he awaited for the nightmares to begin.
It was probably almost noon time when Dante finally decided to get up and begin his day, starting off he slowly walked over to the guest room that was now his brothers' room and lightly knocked on the door, but what he was greeted by was an empty room and a nicely made bed that looked untouched and unused.
"Must have passed out downstairs again." Dante said with a sigh as he made his way down the stairs excepting to see his brother curled up in the corner like he usually is every morning, but was once again he was greeted by an empty room. That's when slight panic set in with the demon hunter and he quickly made his way over to his desk nearly tearing the phone off its cord as he quickly dialed the number that he knew by heart
"What do you want old man? It's my day off." The grumpy voice of his nephew greeted him.
"Gonna just cut to the chase here, by any chance have you seen or heard from your old man? I uh may have misplaced him so to speak."
"Miss placed him? Dante what the fuck does that mean? And no, I haven't seen or heard from him but give me a minute I'll help you look form him."
Dante nodded even though the younger demon hunter couldn't actually see him "He couldn't have gotten too far; he's been kind of lethargic? Lately" He wasn't sure if that was the right word to use but he could defiantly tell something was wrong with his brother.
"Lethargic?" Came Nero's slightly confused reply
"Yeah he hasn't eaten since we've gotten back from the underworld and he hasn't been sleeping much either." Dante explained and he swore he could hear the kid face palm at that.
"Dante! That's not good! I mean I get your half demon blood lets you get away with a lot of things but you guys are half human too and food and sleep are kind of required!"
"I know that! I guess I've just always viewed Vergil as being this unbeatable over powered being that can't be defeated by such human things, it just didn't fully click that it was getting this bad." He sighed before continuing "Look here's the plan, kid... You go look around Fortuna, he has Yamato with him so he could have opened some kind of portal and made his way over there." Honestly Dante doubted that, Vergil wasn't exactly in the best condition to be portal hoping right now but he didn't want to rule it out just yet "I'll look around here and give you shout when I find him."
There was a long pause before Nero spoke again that Dante thought for a moment that he may have hung up on him "Yeah, alright sounds good and I'll call you back if I find the idiot." And with that the line went dead for real this time.
"Oh Vergil, just know I'm going to kick your ass when I find you." The white-haired male said as he hung up the phone and grabbed his jacket off his chair to begin the Vergil hunt.
He kind of figured the older twin was not going to be easy to find but the longer it took to find him the more Dante began to worry, like what if he was strong enough to open a portal? Or what if he decided to go back to his old power-hungry days? Dante wasn't sure if he could handle losing his brother for a fourth time and he defiantly wasn't ready to have to fight him again.
All these unwanted thoughts were making him feel a bit nauseous, it also didn't help he skipped breakfast but all his inner thoughts seemed to shut up once he caught sight of the familiar figure lying face down in the dirt.
"Fucking hell Vergil!" Dante swore as he raced to his brother prone form bending down to lightly shake his shoulder and getting a muffled groan in a response "You're lucky you didn't become demon chow all the way out here in the middle of nowhere." He said to the unconscious body of his twin but he would be lying if he said a wave of relief didn't washed over him right then in there so with a small huff, he lifted his brother up into his arms noting how light the older male was, actually it was a bit unsettling but he pushed that down for now as he continued his journey back to the shop, mentally preparing the long ass speech he was going to give his brother when he woke.
The first thing Vergil registered as he began to come to was the soft voices of his son and brother speaking to each other.
"He definitely is looking malnourished." Nero...
"Yeah I noticed when I was carrying him back here how light he was." Dante...
But before the conversation could continue Dante must have noticed that he was finally waking up because the next words that came flooding to his ears where, "Finally! Welcome back to the living Verge! Now you have some explaining to do so let's hear it!"
Vergil groaned as he opened his eyes but quickly shut them as he felt like his head would explode "Must you be so loud?" He managed to speak trying to remember exactly what happened... Wait where was he anyways? Was this just one was Mundus' tricks? What if all this was just another illusion? Just another trap that he fell right into? No! He won't let that happen, not again, these people weren't his brother and son they were just some sick mind trick and he couldn't let his guard down.
"Verge? You still with us?" Dante finally asked causing Vergil to growl out as his eyes snapped open.
"You're not Dante! Get away from me you damn imposters!"
This caused Dante and Nero to exchange worried glances and neither of them didn't exactly know how to respond to that.
Nero was completely lost here but Dante knew exactly what was going on and he felt anger and sadness hit him all at once, he also felt like an idiot for not realizing it sooner, Vergil was in a battle with his inner demons and Dante wasn't sure how to fix this but he sure as hell was going to give it his all, he's not letting anyone come in between him and his family anymore! He will defeat any enemy that tried even one's he physically couldn't see
Like I said Vergil is a hot mess! it it's going to get worse before it gets better but luckily Dante is a good boi and very patient with these kind of things :3 Also I have the second chapter already done for this story and it's posted on another site and I'm almost done with the third chapter! I'll probably upload the second chapter on here tomorrow since this one is really short
