DVYL May Cry
Dante and Ruby made their way to the amphitheater, where they saw dozens of potential students gathered there. He gained a deadpanned expression, he was not one for crowds. After years of fighting, he never liked the idea of being surrounded, especially in an enclosed area. They both look over to see Yang waving at them. Ruby turned back to him, "Let's go, Dante." She said cheerfully.
Dante just shook his head, "Thanks but no, Ruby. I don't like crowds, like at all. I'll stand in the back." He motioned with his head to the back of the amphitheater.
Ruby gave him a confused look, "Won't you be lonely, though?"
He shrugged apathetically, "I'm used to it." Ruby gained a sad expression at his words. It really tugged on his heart. That was the same look his…sisters, used to give him. He sighed and slowly reached out and gently patted her head. She looked confused and shocked. He gave her a gently smile, "Don't worry about me. Go see your sister."
Ruby looked at him before she smiled at him, "Okay. We'll see you afterwards." She waited for him to nod before she went over to Yang.
Dante watched her before he sighed and started to make his way to the back of the room. 'Can kill blood thirsty demons without batting an eye but I can't stand to see a young girl look sad.' He sighed to himself before continuing to think. 'I've tried to bury those memories. Looks like I didn't bury them deep enough.' He then leant his back against the back of the room as he waited for it to get over with. Eventually Ozpin stepped out with a blonde woman and gave his speech. He barely paid attention to it. He honestly didn't care. He wasn't a Huntsman, in training or otherwise. He was a Demon Hunter, the best, Grimm and people were second seat compared to what he fought. 'Speaking of…' he thought and opened his senses to scan the entire room, just to be safe. 'Good. Just humans and Faunus.'
When he came back to reality, the students were making their way out of the amphitheater. Yang and Ruby were walking up to him as he pushed off the wall. "What's with the antisocial treatment?" Yang asked him as they got over to him. Dante just shrugged, he didn't really want to talk about it. Yang just huffed at that, "Fine, don't tell me. So, Ruby told me you exploded?" She asked confused.
Dante just smirked, "Technically, I blew up a snob. But yeah." Yang just looked confused. "The brat was throwing around some Dust and was just being annoying. So, after I had Ruby safe in my jacket, I detonated it." He chuckled. "Her face was priceless."
"You!" shouted a familiar shrill voice.
He just sighed, "Great." He turned to Weiss, "What do you want, Ice Queen?"
She looked as angry as the last time he saw her. "You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!" she shouted at him.
Dante just looked into her eyes for a while before shrugging, "Meh. Been through worse." That just pissed her off more. She then pulled out a pamphlet titled Dust for Dummies and started to go into some spiel about policies of the SDC. Dante got an annoyed look before he put his hand over her mouth, shocking her. "Stop. Just stop. I don't care, at all."
Her shocked look turned to anger once again before she slapped his hand away. "Get your hands off me, you brute! Who said you could touch me?!"
Dante shrugged again, "Don't get your panties in a twist. Although, that would probably be the only action you've ever had." He said with a smirk.
Weiss' face turned into a mix of disgust, insult and embarrassment. Meanwhile, Ruby was trying not to laugh while also blushing, and Yang was doubled over laughing like mad. Ruby got control of herself and tried to calm everything down. "Look, we all got off on the wrong foot. Why don't we start over and try to be friends?" She said cheerfully before holding her hand out to her, "Hello, Weiss, I'm Ruby! Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!"
Weiss soon started speaking with fake enthusiasm, "Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys like the tall, blond ruffian over there!" She said sarcastically as she pointed her thumb at Jaune. Ruby seemed to believe her while Yang looked annoyed, whether it was because she was getting Ruby's hopes up or because she insulted Dante was up for debate.
"Not on your life, Ice Queen." he told her.
"Excuse me?" she asked.
"Three things wrong with that." He started counting off his fingers as he started talking. "You are so not my type, to start. My relationships are more physical than anything else. So, you wouldn't be able to keep up with me. And finally, your personality is a real turn off."
Weiss' face turned as red as Ruby's cloak with that and she was having problems speaking. Yang finally got control of herself and quickly wrapped one of her arms around Jaune's and grabbed Ruby's hood before dragging them away. "That's enough with teasing the Ice Queen. Come on you two, let's get to the ballroom."
As Ruby was being dragged away she was shouting back to Weiss, "I promise, I'll make it up to you!"
Dante let Yang pull him for a few more feet before speaking up, "Why are you pulling me along? I can walk fine."
"Nope!" she said with a cheeky grin. "Gotta make sure you don't sneak off."
Dante just tilted his head and was about to speak before sighing, yet again. 'What have I gotten myself into with this girl?' He thought as he shook his head with a small grin.
Dante was sitting on the ground with his back against one of the ballroom's walls. He was dressed in his usual tank top and was wearing a pair of shorts. He was just observing the students getting ready for bed, the girls were chatting with each other and talking about the guys they saw. Meanwhile, the guys were acting tough and flexing for the girls. He just shook his head with an amused look. 'Never understood that. Why bother showing off to attract women? Just walk up to them and ask them. They either say yes or no, and you just act accordingly. So much easier.'
He closed his eyes and just relaxed with his head leant against the wall. He then heard the whispering and murmuring from the guys around him increase. He frowned slightly and wondered what was going on. He then heard the sound of bare feet walking closer to him before they stopped. He knew exactly who it was. He smirked before speaking, "What brings you here, Spitfire?" he asked before opening his eyes.
There was Yang looking down at him with her hands on her hips and that same smirk on her face. She was wearing a similar outfit to him, except the tank top was orange with her emblem on the front in red, accentuating her 'assets'. Her shorts were black and were shorter than his, letting everyone see her long legs and accentuating her round behind. "You, Lover Boy. I'm bringing you back with me, so you'll stop with this antisocial shtick."
Dante just smirked more at her, "With that get up, I was thinking you were planning to seduce me."
She raised an eyebrow, but her smirk was still there, "Really? Because you're wearing the same get up."
He just shrugged, "Because I'm in public. Usually I sleep all natural."
Yang's eyebrows shot up, "Wow, small world." She knelt down in front of him, so she could look him in the eyes before continuing, "That's how I prefer to sleep. Although, having someone in the same bed helps with that." She said in a sultry tone.
Dante pushed off the wall slightly to enter her personal bubble, "That an invitation, Spitfire?" He asked huskily.
Yang didn't move away but answered his question, "Only one way to find out." The two looked into each other's eyes, their lips only a few centimeters apart. They ignored all the people in the area just staring at them. Eventually, their masks slipped away. Dante started chuckling and Yang started to giggle, confusing everyone. Yang stood up and offered him a hand. He took it and she helped him to his feet. He then offered her his arm and she slid her's around it before they walked over to where she and Ruby were bedded for the night. People were still staring at the blonde duo and they felt the same four emotions: confusion, annoyance, jealousy and anger. The guys couldn't believe that the blonde bombshell was already taken, and the girls were thinking the same thing about the attractive guy.
Dante laid out his sleeping bag when he got there, and Yang let him go. He sat down on it and just chatted with Yang and Ruby for a while. Yang started to tease Ruby about the letter she was writing to her friends back home. Ruby threw her pillow at her, but Yang knocked it away and smacked Dante in the face with it. The two just stared wide eyed as he pulled the pillow away from his face. He stared them down before he laid on the floor with it under his head, along with his own pillow. "This is mine now." He said calmly as he closed his eyes. He could hear the two sisters fighting over Yang's pillow as he drifted off to sleep.
Dante woke up a few hours later from his scroll vibrating. He was getting a call and he knew who it was. He was about to get up but realized that something was on his chest. He looked down to see Yang's head resting there. 'Is this what they decided on when I fell asleep?' He looked to his other side to see Ruby with Yang's pillow.
Dante sighed before he slowly removed the pillow from below his head. He placed it next to Yang and gently moved her head from his chest to the pillow. She stirred for a second but stayed asleep. He silently got up and made his way out of the ballroom and onto the accompanying balcony. He walked over to the railing before he pulled out his scroll from his pocket and dialed the number. It rang once before the person picked up. "Dante?" said the man's voice.
He smirked, "Who else would be calling you, Vergil?"
He heard him sigh, "It's you alright. Why didn't you pick up the first time I called? You had me worried."
He looked over his shoulder to the ballroom before answering. "All the students are sleeping in the ballroom for the night. I wanted to get out of there before answering." He turned back to the view. "And why would you be worried? Not like I haven't ignored your calls before." He smirked.
"Yeah and usually that means you're off on one of your usual 'adventures'." Vergil said in a deadpan tone.
He just chuckled, "But seriously, why did you call me so late?"
There was a silence for a bit, "I'm worried, Dante. This is a big risk to take."
He took a deep breath, "I know, Vergil. But we've hit too many dead ends lately. Outside the Kingdoms, we could take down whole sects of this Demon organization with little issue. But, their too organized within the walls and we've lost a lot of your people since we moved them here." He looked over to Beacon's tower. "As much as I hate to admit it, we need Ozpin's help."
"I know. But Ozpin is dangerous, very dangerous." Vergil voiced his worries.
He nodded, "I know. If you met him in person, it'd confirm that. He's mortal but something's…off. Nothing like the demons or angels. Not even like us. I don't know how to describe it."
"That's why I'm telling you to not go through with this!" Vergil shouted through the scroll causing Dante to pull it away from his ear. "We have no idea what his objectives are. We could be serving you up on a silver platter."
Dante put the scroll up to his ear and sat on the railing looking over Vale. "Exactly. At this point, Ozpin thinks it's just me doing this. Just like how the demons have been thinking the same thing from the beginning. They're all focused on me and you're still free to move around. We need you to stay hidden until the end game, that was our plan when we found each other again. With Ozpin's help, we can do it. But, I need you to trust me, Vergil."
There was a silence until he heard a sigh, "I hate it when you're right. Okay, I'll trust you. I'll keep looking into things on my end as well. Just, don't hesitate to reach out for me if you need me. We've lost enough." He said sadly.
He nodded, "I know, Vergil. And I will. But remember, out of the two of us, I'm stronger." He smirked.
He heard Vergil chuckle, "True. And I'm smarter."
"I'm better looking." He stated.
"I have a bigger dick." Was the last thing he said before he hung up.
Dante just smiled and put his scroll in his pocket as he sat on the railing. "Love you too, Bro."
He sat there for a few more minutes before he silently re-entered the ballroom. He quietly made his way back to where he was sleeping and laid down between the two sisters, trying to not disturb them. He noticed that Ruby was now facing him. 'She must've turned in her sleep.' Dante closed his eyes and was about to nod off when he heard an almost silent whimper. He opened his eyes and looked back to Ruby. She had a troubled expression, she was shaking slightly and was whimpering and muttering in her sleep. 'She's having a nightmare.' He thought. He reached over to her and tried to gently shake her, "Ruby." He said quietly.
As he did that, her hand shot out and gripped his shirt. She then said something that made him freeze, "Mommy…" he stared at her in shock as a tear ran down her cheek from her closed eye. "Don't leave me…" she said weakly and brokenly.
Dante instinctively put his arm around her and gently pulled her to his chest. She cuddled up to him but was still whimpering and shaking. He gently started to stroke her hair and was quietly saying, "It's okay, Ruby. It's okay." She started to calm down a bit and he soon found himself humming a song. A song he used to hum to his sisters…. a song he heard from his mother. It hurt him to bring up those memories, but that part of him, the Arc, couldn't let Ruby suffer. He kept humming to her and kept her close. She soon settled down, her shaking and whimpering stopped, and she was sleeping peacefully. She still had a tight grip on his shirt though. But he was just glad she was better.
He had a small smile at that and was shocked to hear someone whisper to him, "Is she sleeping?"
He turned to see that Yang was staring at him with a worried and confused expression. He nodded, "Yeah. She just calmed down."
Yang sighed, "That's good. She used to have nightmares all the time. Now they only happen when she's afraid or nervous." She looked at her sister, concerned. "I was hoping she'd be okay but with initiation tomorrow, I guess I was wrong."
Dante took his hand away from Ruby's hair and hesitantly took Yang's hand in his. She flinched slightly and looked at him stunned, "Don't beat yourself up over it. You can never know what'll happen, you just have to be ready to have her back. That's all any sibling can do." He told her sincerely.
Yang just looked into his eyes, stunned by his words. She slowly nodded to him. "You're right. How'd you know what to do anyways?" She asked as she motioned to Ruby, still being held by Jaune.
He looked down at her with a ghost of a smile. "A lot of practice. Looks like she has a way to bring out my brotherly instincts."
"So, you have younger siblings?" she asked.
Dante's heart sank. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He rested his head back on his pillow before answering. "Used to." He said barely above a whisper.
He felt Yang go rigid beside him but she didn't let go of his hand. He expected that to be the end of it. That was until he felt her lean over and place a gentle kiss on his cheek. He opened his eyes to see Yang rest her head on his chest again and put her arm over him and Ruby. "Thank you." She said quietly. Dante just looked down at her for a bit before he smiled weakly. He gently patted her head as an answer before he closed his eyes and nodded off. It wasn't the first time he fell asleep with two girls. Wouldn't be the first time with sisters either. But, it was more peaceful than any of those other times. And he was grateful for it.
A/N- Here is the next one. Some people were worried about me just giving Dante Jaune's name and appearance. Let me ease you, I'm not. Jaune is in their, its just buried under trauma, pain, blood lust for demons and a brewery worth of alcohol. It's gonna take some time for the Jaune we know to surface, especially because he has trust issues, so please be patient. Again, Jauneforever is a legend for being my Beta Reader. With that, see you all in the next update!
