Chapter 23: Spring Teasing
Flowers bloomed and birds sang, heralding Spring for the Spardas. Nero woke up early and went to the garden to pick a beautiful bouquet for his mother. He was in mid gather when he heard a throat clear and lo and behold, his father was leaning against a tree. Nero's jaw dropped. His father allowed his hair to remain down, his eyes shone brighter, and his skin was lightly tanned. He was dressed in biker leathers.
"Wow Father, you look like a badass." He said. Vergil grinned.
"Your mother started this teasing fiasco. I aim to finish it."
"With that outfit, you're sure to win!"
"Oh, this is part of it. Follow me," The elder said. Nero held the flowers carefully and followed his father. He almost dropped them when he saw the beautiful motorcycle! It was black with neon blue, sleek and powerful.
"Holy shit!" Nero swore. "Father, you got to let me ride this!"
"Patience child, you have a birthday coming." His father chuckled as Nero admired the motorcycle.
"You have a plan," Nero concluded as he looked at his father.
"Of course, I do." His father chuckled. "Where's your mother?"
"Inside, making breakfast."
"Excellent. Let us gather a breathtaking bouquet for her." Both devils gathered the blooms and returned home, with Nero leading the way, trying to keep a straight face.
"Good morning Mother," He greeted as he kissed her cheek. Mira smiled but continued to set the table. She stopped when she realized she was only seeing Nero.
"Nero, where is your father?" She asked. Nero chuckled and silently buttered his toast. She turned and gasped at the beautiful flowers that were at the center of the table.
"Oh, my these are lovely!" She gasped as she sniffed them. Nero bit into his toast grinning as he watched his father sneak up stealthily and lightly grabbed Mira's waist and pulled her to him. Mira giggled and allowed herself to be turned, held and kissed.
"Mhmm, good morning Babe." Mira smiled. She admired his outfit and appearance. "You look wickedly sexy today." Nero chuckled as he saw that his mother was blushing pink. Vergil smirked and hugged her.
"How does a ride sound?" He whispered. Mira gasped then nodded. "Good, after breakfast then?"
"Oh great, I'll throw a party!" Nero said.
"You WILL NOT!" His father declared. "You have a mission." He handed the details to Nero.
"Oh man!" Nero groaned. Mira and Vergil chuckled.
"Babe, I can't see." Mira giggled as Vergil led her to where he had the motorcycle, with Nero holding in his laughter. Shortly after breakfast and all was clean, Vergil blindfolded Mira. She herself was dressed in black leggings, wine red peasant shirt with flowing sleeves and soft black boots with scarlet trim. Her hair was in a high ponytail with silver and garnet hair combs. When they reached the bike, Vergil gently removed the blindfold and Mira squealed.
"OH, MY FUCKING GOD THIS IS GORGEOUS!" She shouted as she inspected the motorcycle. "Verge, when did you?!"
"I picked up a few skills over the years." Vergil said with a chuckle. "This is one of my personal designs."
"I call dibs!" Nero crowed. Mira laughed.
"No way kiddo! I do!" She teased as she got on the bike. Vergil chuckled and relished on how beautiful she looked on his motorcycle. Absolutely gorgeous indeed. Soon, my love, we will wed. You will be my Queen at last…
"Have fun you two." Nero said. Mira hugged him warmly and kissed his cheek before getting back on the bike. Vergil hugged him and looked at him.
"Do not hesitate to call on us if you need our help, do I make myself clear?"
"Yes Father," Nero said. Vergil waved his hand and Griffon came forth.
"Hey V, oooo nice bike!"
"Touch it and I'll roast you myself!" Vergil warned, ignoring on how he was addressed. Griffon squawked. I will poop on it later…. Griffon looked at a growling Vergil, whose eyes glowed red. Shit, scratch that…
"You're going to end up in a pot Little Chicken." Mira warned with a smirk.
"You are to aid Nero in this mission. Report to me if anything."
"You got it V; I'll back up Superstar here!" Griffon said. Mira laughed when Nero pulled out a pair of shades and put them on. Even Vergil chuckled.
"Away with you then." He said. Nero laughed and with Griffon, they left. Vergil turned to the scarlet clad temptress on his bike.
"Ready to go my love?"
"Ready when you are Babe." She said with a grin. Vergil got on the bike and Mira held on tight but blinked.
"Wait, how are you going to…" Before she could finish, Vergil revved but the bike and a portal opened. Mira was in shock.
"That is wicked!" She gasped. Vergil grinned and patted her hand.
"Hold on tight my love." He said gently. "You're going to love this." Mira obeyed and Vergil drove ahead through the portal.
The portal opened to a beautiful city and Mira gasped. They were in Italy!
" Oh, my god Babe."
"Welcome to the Beautiful Country my love." He smiled as he kissed her hand. Mira was star struck. After admiring the view for a few moments and sharing a kiss, they rode into the city of Rome as a start. Vergil had a mission as well; to romance Mira and sweep her off her feet!
Nero and Griffon blinked as they re read the address to the 'mission'. It was Kyrie's wedding boutique. Nico came to the front.
"Oh, hey Bro, Little Chickee." Nero grinned while Griffon snorted. "Lemme guess, Demon Daddy sent ye?"
"Yea."
"The man is evil." Nico laughed. "He's out romancing' yer Mama and he sent you to pick up the stuff!" Nero gasped and then grinned in realization at his father's trick. Father, you WICKED FUCK!
"All right, since we're here…Let's see them."
"Bro, prepare to have the ultimate Mind fuck!" Nico said as she opened the door and flipped the switch. There, at the heart of the store, were three complete and beautifully made wedding outfits. Nero choked back a sob. They were Kyrie's last and best pieces. Love and care were in every stitch. Nero looked at his father's. It was blue black, and the blue was created from very tiny royal sapphires interwoven into the fabric, the gemstone stone for Fortuna royalty. Exceptionally fine trim of gold with a slight hint of platinum. The coat was of formal design, with three coat tails, with navy blue lining. The vest, waistcoat, shirt, as was the coat, were all different shades of blue with charcoal gray. The boots were those of a Lord's, finest black leather with blue trim. Father is going to look fucking awesome in this! Wow!
He looked at the suit meant for him. It was also a formal, an upgrade to his Order of the Sword uniform. This one, was navy blue, red and black. His crests were on the lapels and on the left of his formal coat, which had two coat tails. In gold, just above the Sigil for the Order, was the Sparda family crest! Nero traced the crest. Where it was made him choke back a sob. Firstborn and Heir. He remembered. His pants were in similar color scheme of his father's, navy blue and black. The boots were high but not higher than his fathers with the order crest on the side.
He gasped at his mother's wedding dress. It was the finest. The dress was a satin shimmering off white, with lace sleeves. Garnet with ruby interlaced with moonstone and pearl was on the bodice of the dress. The skirt was flowing and, on the bottom, was garnet and ruby trim. When she would move, the red and hint of silver would shimmer and move. It was the most beautiful dress he had ever seen, and it was perfect for a Queen. Well, she is, technically. It was a corset bodice and he had to grin. Father is going to have fun with that! The bolero jacket that was with his mother's outfit, was also off white with crimson, scarlet and garnet along the trim, with the Sparda family crest on the right lapel.
"Kyrie may have brought them to cloth but these designs, were yer Mama's." Nico grinned. "Did you see her shoes?" She pointed to the beautiful off white, garnet and ruby elegant shoes. They were square heels and Mary janes but no less royal in design. They reminded him of the female dancers that graced the stage.
"And they all have a little extra surprise, thanks to yours truly." Nico said with a grin. "I think your parents and you will enjoy them. Ah before I forget, hold on." She ran to grab a velvet box and handed it to Nero. "Yer Demon Daddy asked for this. Give this to him asap." Nero nodded and took the box and with Nico's help, they carefully packed the wedding clothes. When he was packing his mother's, Nico grinned and held out a matching garter belt. Nero blushed. It was off white, lacy and with a red and blue rose in perfect unison.
"I'm sure yer Demon Daddy will love to pull that off yer Mama, with his teeth!"
"Oh Nico, jeez!" Nero stammered as he carefully put the garter belt away with his mother's dress. Griffon laughed.
Mira and Vergil walked through the city streets and Vergil cherished how happy his Mira looked as she beheld it all. On occasion she would ask about something and Vergil was more than happy to tell her. They saw the stores, the city, the countryside. Mira's eyes and face brightened, and Vergil decided that is where they would return to for their honeymoon. He himself had loved it and enjoyed it all, and for the first time since they were children, Vergil was happy.
Mira sighed in bliss as they laid down, side by side in the grass, looking at the sky. They stayed out for hours, even watched and kissed by the sunset. They even subtly teased each other throughout the day, causing the other to blush shyly and laugh. It was a great day.
"This was wonderful Babe." She whispered as she hugged him. "Thank you."
"It was my pleasure my love." Vergil whispered as he held her, resting his head on top of hers. "Luckily we picked up some things for Nero."
"He's going to love them." Mira said as she held onto to him. "We should do a family vacation here." Vergil smiled softly and ran his fingers through her hair. He loved her idea. Honeymoon first though. I wish to make her mine again, here first!
"Are we ready to go my love?" He asked softly. Mira looked at him then at a beautiful flower tree. As if reading her mind, he helped her to her feet and both walked to the tree. Mira smiled and surprised Vergil as she removed a small dagger from the bodice of her shirt! Oh you little tease! He thought with a chuckle. She handed the dagger to him first. He took it from her and skillfully he carved his initials and handed the dagger to her. Mira took it and carved hers and cleaned the dagger before replacing it. Vergil felt envious of that dagger. It was in an intimate area and it turned him on when she revealed it's hiding place. He was about to kiss her when a demon tried to jump them. Mira held up a hand and red swords flew and sliced the demon. Vergil chuckled when he saw more.
"What a way to wrap up the evening." She said. Vergil smirked and the couple slashed the populace. Once done, they got on the bike and headed for home.
Nero jumped out of his seat on the couch when he heard the motorcycle and ran out. He smiled when he saw his parents and hugged them in turn. "Welcome home." He looked at the state of his parents and grinned.
"You two had a wild time!" He said as he removed a few flower petals out of Mira's hair. "Wow something smells great!"
"Hey, that's your mother." Vergil grinned. "But we did pick up some things for you."
"Yay presents!" Nero laughed, holding his hands out grinning. Mira laughed and handed over a dinner and a satchel. "Your present in the bag Nero."
"After I eat, this food smells amazing!" The younger devil said causing his parents to laugh.
"Nero, where's Griffon?"
"Oh that lazy bum's asleep on the couch." Nero said as he set up to eat. Vergil went over to the couch and saw the demon bird.
"Oh yea baby, Griffy like that…" The demon bird said in his sleep. Mira and Nero fell over laughing and Vergil blushed. Mira motioned for Nero to hand her a phone quickly. Nero tossed her his phone and she went over and flipped to video.
"Shake it baby, don't be shy, I'll be your guy. Come on baby I'll treat you right." Griffon said, still asleep. Nero and Mira continued to laugh while Vergil's cheeks became more red. "Will you keep my beak warm?" Nero laughed hysterically blushing scarlet red and Mira flamed crimson as she howled with laughter. Vergil was livid, his eyes were bright red and fangs were out.
"ENOUGH!" He thundered, his voice demonic as he slammed his palm onto the table. Griffon woke up, squawked and dropped a few feathers, in fear of his Master's wrath and fury. Nero laughed hysterically, almost choking on his food.
"Oh shit!" Griffon squawked. Mira gasped for air and Vergil handed her some water. She sipped it slowly and took a breath.
"Babe, wow…."
"Father, that is one dirty bird!" Nero said as he blinked and replayed the video. Mira sipped her water carefully.
"Well I feel…dirty. I'm off to shower." Mira slowly made her way upstairs. Griffon piped up and grinned. Vergil was ready.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Scout around." Griffon said. Vergil waved his hand, dismissing Griffon.
"Nice try you despicable fowl." He said with a wicked smirk. "I see the assets here." Vergil was about go upstairs when Nero stopped him. Damn him!
"Father, I know you want to get your peep on but Nico sent this," He held up the box containing the Devil Rose. Vergil nodded and took it from him. He examined it and saw that not only did it have the portal feature but a force field barrier and concealment . That is clever but what of offense? He nodded in approval and thanked Nero, going upstairs to hide his wedding gift for Mira.
Mira gasped when she heard Vergil coming into the room. She immediately hid her present for him. It had belonged to their father but she knew he would love it. She hid it away and ran onto the bathroom, closed the door and ran the water.
Vergil looked around the room and grinned when he heard the water running. Perfect, He thought as he went to his dresser and carefully concealed the Devil Rose. On the Spring Equinox, we will wed…
"Vergil, can you please come in here I need you." Mira called. Vergil blinked then grinned devilishly. He noticed that Mira's towel and robe were still on the bed! So she's in there, wet and gloriously nude…ah, well this is a treat…
"Vergil!" She called again, a bit panicked. Vergil calmly picked up her things and entered the bathroom. As he thought, there was Mira, in nothing but her long hair to cover her modesty. Vergil admired her hungrily and Mira blushed. She carefully stepped out of the shower and carefully reached for the towel and wrapped it around herself. Vergil groaned inwardly. Mira smiled despite her blush and kissed him softly.
"Thank you," she whispered, as she hugged him. Vergil set down her robe and pajamas down and hugged her back. He smiled softly then leaned down, capturing her lips again. Mira moaned softly as they kissed. With a low growl and kissing her harder, Vergil lifted her, her legs automatically wrapped around his waist as he walked out of the bathroom and laid her down on her back, on their bed. They moaned and held each other, kissing and lightly biting. When Vergil went for her neck, Mira moaned loudly. Vergil kept continued to lavish her and tease her a bit. He loved her moans and soft pants. The heated his blood. The Equinox wasn't too far away, a few weeks. But I am going to tease her before then. He thought darkly. When he lightly bit Mira almost screamed. MMM, Jackpot.
"Vergil, please….." She begged, her eyes slowly glowing red. He leaned down and kissed her again.
"Soon my love." He whispered, his eyes also red. "I'm going to go downstairs, check on our son."
"Oh, wait I want to see Nero's face when he opens his presents." She grabbed her pajamas and with impressive gymnastic skill and with just a towel on, Mira got off their bed without revealing anything. Vergil laid down on the bed on his side, grinning.
"Like that Babe?" Mira asked with a grin and wink. "Just a taste." She went into the bathroom and dressed quickly.
Damnnn that was hot. Vergil thought. And impressive, she managed to get up without the towel falling off! Not that I mind if it would…The door opened and Mira came out in her red and black shirt and pants pajamas set, black ballet slippers and holding a hair brush.
"Let's go I don't want to miss it." She said with a smile. Vergil nodded and both went to check on Nero who had finally finished eating.
"Hey, there you guys are." He said. "I was just about to open my present!"
"Presents." Vergil corrected him. Nero's eyes widened with excitement. He brought the satchel towards him and opened it. He carefully pulled out a highly polished black wooden box.
"That's from both of us." Mira said. "As soon as we saw it, we knew it was for you." Nero opened it carefully and a beautiful twin revolver of Blue Rose. It was silver with red trim and a red rose.
"Bolero Rose." Mira said with a grin. "And here's the kicker, Nico's grandmother made that gun." Nero inspected the gun and saw the inscription of Nico's grandmother. His father held out a hand for it and Nero handed it over. Vergil looked it over and held it for a bit. His hands shimmered with blue flames and the gun underwent a transformation. It became black with neon blue flame, the rose and trim which were red solely, blended with the blue, harmonizing to a slight purple in the middle. Nero and Mira were shocked and Vergil handed the gun to his son.
"Mirage Rose." He said. "You can summon or dismiss this at will. As with Yamato, you can portal anywhere and at anytime. Which reminds me, your guns, my love." Mira blinked but was a bit reluctant to hand them over. With a heavy sigh, she handed them over. Vergil looked at his beloved but smiled as he held them and began. With Ebony he just brought out the black and red more with Ivory, it shone brighter, also with elegant red trim. On each, was the family crest. They were a bit more feminine but other than that, they were Mira's designs. Mira blinked and gasped at the beautiful craftsmanship the upgrades turned out to be.
"Omg, these are beautiful Babe, thank you."
"Simple, yet elegant and, they can pack quite a punch. Also, similar to Nero's weapon…"
"Oh, the portal thing?!Awesome!" Mira squealed. Vergil chuckled as he saw the happiness in her face. Mira was about to re holster her guns when once again, Vergil held a hand out and pointed to it. Mira removed her holster and handed it over. Vergil looked it over and began to craft again. The holster became a deep scarlet, with accents of silver and black.
"Oh my god….."Mira gasped. As soon as it was handed back, Mira put it down and kissed Vergil passionately. The elder moaned and held her tight, lifting her a bit and leaning up against a wall, not breaking their kiss.
"Oh, come on guys, get a room!" Nero teased. Vergil broke the kiss and looked at their son with an evil smirk, eyes glowing blue.
"Unless you wish to be scarred for life, I suggest you go upstairs to your room child, and leave me with my wife." Nero laughed and dashed out. Mira's moans and her legs tightening around his waist brought his attention back. Oh yes…..With another smirk, he kissed her again. Soon my love, very soon…
Will they make it to the alter?
