After breakfast, Lucy went upstairs. When Dante asked why, the pink-haired teen answered that he's not feeling well. They could hear a locking sound coming from a room. The elder sat down at the couch and turned on the TV, trying not to mind the phone call. Of course, it was impossible. Demons don't get sick that easily, and for hell's sake, Lucy is the hell's son!

"Old man, what's wrong?" He heard a voice from behind. Nero sat down beside him.

"Heh, pretty worried about me, eh? How nice of you, kid." Dante teased. Nero brushed his nose and glared at him.

"I am not worried about you." Nero answered. "Obviously, after that phone call, you became so bothered. What's wrong?"

Dante didn't say anything and just get back to the TV. He doesn't want the others to worry, especially Nero. He's just a half-demon teen. Yes, he can protect himself, but if they're going to fight Mundus, he doesn't know if Nero's going to get out of hell alive.

"Kid."

"Stop calling me 'kid'!"

"FINE! NERO THEN!"

Dante froze as Nero's eyes were staring at him, frightened. The elder couldn't believe what he just did.

"S-Sorry, Nero…" Dante apologized.

"That's okay." Nero just answered. If he just doesn't know that there's something wrong with the man, he would throw him out of the shop using his Devil Bringer.

"Nero." Dante turned to him with a serious look in his face. "I did tell you that Lucy is the emperor of hell's son, right?"

"Yeah, you did."

"I was getting bothered from the phone call few minutes ago, to be honest." Dante sighed. He decided to tell the teen the truth.

"Mundus…"

"Who?"

"Lucy's asshole dad is coming to earth." He said straight-to-the-point. Nero's jaws dropped.

"Does he know?" Nero asked. Another heavy sigh came from Dante's lips.

"I don't want him to worry. Seeing that kid, he hates his father so much." Dante said. "God, this is unlike me."

Nero just doesn't know what to say. He lowered his head and started to feel pity at Lucy. Damn, being a son of a powerful demon seems hard. In fact, maybe Lucy's life is harder than Dante.

See? His life is harder than us. The demon inside Nero commented.

"Yeah. My life as a son of a fucker is hard." They heard a voice from upstairs. As the two white-haired hunters turned their head, it was Lucy. He's wearing a black t-shirt with loose brown khakis.

"Hey, changing outfits, huh?" Dante teased; trying to ease off the heavy weight he knows Lucy is feeling right now. Lucy grinned.

"It's Sunday today." Lucy answered. "I just want to let loose today. If you want to walk around the office half-naked, Dante, I really don't care. Just do it."

"Kid, you're suggesting to jam all day." Dante grinned.

"You guessed it right, pizza-maniac."

"Let me guess. You're bored, aren't you?"

"Bingo."

Dante turned off the TV while Nero is still confused. The elder turned on the stereo and in played Lucy's songs.

OoOoO

Author's notes: Let's just pretend that the songs we know existed in theirs.

OoOoO

I hear your heartbeat to the beat of the drums.

Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone.

So while you're here in my arms.

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young.

Lucy smiled happily as he jumped down and started dancing at the living room. Dante followed too. He held his hands and started dancing with Lucy. Nero looked dumbfounded. But his heart was warmed for a bit, Dante was doing this for Lucy. He decided to join them dancing around the room. Dante made Lucy turned around and he was switched to Nero's arms. It was when Nero found out, because Lucy is barefooted, he's a head taller than him when he's not wearing the heels.

"What?"

"Go ahead, kid. Dance with him!" Dante said and continued dancing around the room. They let loose everything, they kept dancing like weirdos and freaks or animals or whatever you call them right now, and they don't give a fuck. They're having fun. To the point that Dante took off his shirt and so did Nero that made Lucy let out a hearty laugh. Lucy blasted the stereo into full volumes.

"You guys should dance together!" Lucy yelled for the two to hear. The two hunters looked at him with bewilderment.

"Come on!" Lucy encouraged. Nero opened his mouth and was going to say something when Dante held his hands and started dancing.

"What the-"

"Just make him happy, Nero. We can't risk his happiness right now at the current situation." Dante whispered. Nero blushed, but he let Dante held his hand and controls his body and they started swaying. Lucy was cheering and shouting and joined them. They danced all day without caring even if the phone rings.

OoOoO

It was nighttime and Lucy was asleep. Dante is eating the pizza and Nero is cleaning the kitchen.

"Hey, kid." Dante called his attention. "You found our activity this morning fun?"

Nero scoffed. "Yeah, except for the part that you took off your t-shirt."

"You did, too." Dante answered back.

"Well, I find it entertaining. " He answered. Suddenly, they heard a scream of pain from Lucy's room.

"Oh shit…" Dante murmured.

"Something's wrong. I can feel it." Nero said. Lucy is still screaming.

"Come on, kid!" Dante and Nero rushed their way to Lucy's room. Because it's locked, Dante had to kick it open. They saw Lucy squirming uncontrollably and his hands were placed in his hair, tweaking it. Dante ran towards the pink-haired teen.

"Lucy!" Dante pushed him down the bed and he can clearly see the glowing marks in Lucy's body. It made the other two hunters dumbfounded.

"Oh God…" Nero whispered. It was clearly a demonic writing all over his body.

"Aah! No!" Lucy screamed at the top of his lungs, trying to fight off the pain.

"Lucy! Talk to me! It's me, Dante!" Dante tried to calm the teen down. As if Lucy had heard his voice, the markings started to fade. He cried softly and started to breathe heavily. Dante don't know what to do, he haven't read this in a book.

"Dante… he's…"

"Shh… Forget it."

In split seconds, Lucy fainted.
