A/N: I still don't know if I should bump the rating up, I might just cause I think it's fun to write the juicy stuff. So anywho, that won't matter for this chapter but it will in the future.

Disclaimer: Still nothing guys.

Family

Amelia got home that day to find that Vergil had already started on dinner, not that that was unusual. It was unusual for him to be doing it without a shirt on however and he flipped the eggs over in the pan, the light glancing over his pale skin and Amelia felt another shiver go down her spine. How could he do that? Warm her heart and excite her body simultaneously? He looked over at her from the corner of his eye.

"It's your turn." he said, nodding to the chess board and Amelia wanted to roll her eyes. That was what he was concerned about.

"Hmm… I'll have to think it over." she said, walking up and tracing lines down his bare back. She loved the shiver that went over his skin and the way scales trailed after her fingertips like gooseflesh. She played at his shoulder blades and spine for a bit before he mumbled.

"Careful, I've got to move the hot food." She obliged and stepped back as he plated the omelets, the smell of cheese and onion reaching her nose.

"So I did something you may not approve of today." the half devil said casually, setting plates and forks on the table before seating himself. Amelia raised a brow and joined him at the table.

"Oh? What?"

"I applied to be a resident on the island." he said "I offered to be a consultant for demonic literature at the library of the Order." Amelia paused and then sighed.

"You're right, I don't think it's a good idea but I have no right to stop you. I can't keep you here in my home forever, despite the fact that I would love to." she said with a wink. Vergil smiled at that.

"I have no urgent plans for my life and… well I'd like to build one here with you." he said softly and then paused "If you'd let me." Amelia smiled.

"Of course. You think I'd want to kick you out after all of this?" She gestured around at the room. He smiled lightly

"Well I didn't know if you were willing to have me around… officially." the brunette shook her head.

"Silly devil, thinking that I'd kick you out." she sighed and they enjoyed their meals for a few minutes of peace before Amelia said.

"So I need to do something that you probably won't approve of." she looked up to see inquisitive blue eyes. "I need to introduce you to my family. If we're going to keep all of… this." she gestured at the room again "up, then we should go about it in the right way." Vergil laughed then.

"Are you kidding me, I would love to meet your family."

-Rise-

That was how they spent the next couple weeks preparing things and trying to speed Vergil's application process for citizenship on the island up as quickly as they could. Amelia stood at the phone one day, staring at it sternly.

"It won't bite, I swear, I know those kind, they don't look like that." Vergil teased in her ear, causing her to jump.

"I just… It's gonna be so hard to tell them." she said and he laughed

"No it won't, just stick to the truth as much as you can, the rest will fall into place." he nudged her shoulder and then went over to their still running game of chess and observed the board while she tried to gather the nerves to call her brother. She knew that he'd be the easiest to convince, being the keeper of a tea shop in town he was pretty easy going but all the same, it was still nerve-wracking.

"If you don't do it now I'll pay him a visit myself later… in person." Vergil threatened from the table. Amelia looked back at him. He hadn't even glanced up from the board. How did he do that?

"Like you'd be able to find him." she scoffed, Vergil looked up, blue eyes meeting green and she felt her confidence waver.

"You think I won't?" he said and she sighed, picking up the phone and dialing her brother's number.

"Good girl." Vergil teased behind her. She stuck her tongue out at him.

"Hello?" said the voice on the other end.

"Hi? Rachel? Can I talk to Peter?" she asked

"Yes. One minute." there was a bit of shuffle as her sister in law called for her brother. A moment later

"Hello?"

"Hi, Peter, it's Amelia." she said hastily and then said "I uh… well, I have the day off tomorrow and I wanted to know if you wanted to meet up for lunch?" She heard a huff behind her.

"Uh… I think I might be able to, why? This is a bit of a short notice." Amelia bit her lip.

"I have something important to tell you." she said and there was a pause on the other end.

"Did you finally start talking to someone?" he asked and now it was her turn to pause.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Only because you're my sister." he said "Don't worry I'll help you figure out how to introduce him to dad, I'm sure mom will be thrilled. Why don't you bring him to the lunch and I can pre-emptively grill him? The café sound good? Clark just came up with a new recipe for clam chowder and it's to die for. Could you do two? It'll be easier for me if it's after the lunch rush, I'll see you at two okay? I love you."

"Love you too…" Amelia managed and then the other line went dead.

"See that wasn't that hard." Vergil teased "He did most of the talking." Amelia felt her face burning.

"Oh shut up…"
