The Phantasma cruise ship was in "party mode" as Dante had put it. Upbeat music played throughout the vast boat whilst the people enjoyed the hot sun which beamed onto the large open deck. Families were having fun in the large pool, couples were bathing in the sun, sharing cocktails and the red devil himself was happily looking onto the ocean. Trish herself on the other hand decided to relax in the spa, enjoying the welcoming back massage that was taking place.
Whilst on the deck, Dante turned his attention to the swimming pool, the crystal clear water looked very inviting to simply jump in.
"Ah screw it!" The red devil thought before making his way to the diving board, excitement filling him as he approached it. He found himself at the tallest diving board, taking in the amazing view before preparing himself to jump.
"Lift off!" Dante shouted out as he performed a triple flip, catching the attention of the many people who suddenly found themselves in awe.
After the trick, he gracefully splashed into the water, earning him a small round of applause as he emerged from the water smiling.
Trish could hear the red devil's enthusiastic voice from the spa area, causing her to smirk.
"I'm going to assume that guy is your boyfriend Miss?" The female massager asked, giggling whilst she carefully caressed the lightning witch's back.
"That he is. Although sometimes I think I'm looking after a big kid, but then again I wouldn't have him any other way." Trish answered confidantly, a small giggle tagging along with it.
Redgrave City. . .
Vergil could not believe how strange the last couple of days had become, with rescuing Lady and a teen girl from her demonic father, and now taking her out for coffee. If he told Dante, he'd tell him he was either very lucky, or completely out of his mind. In Lady's mind, she thought it was a way of thanking him for saving her, even if she was reluctant in asking for backup.
They found themselves in a cafè named; The little oak, a heavily decorated place which resembled that of a cabin, complete with a fireplace which gave a welcoming atmosphere. For at least an hour, the two simply enjoyed each other's company, eating small yet delightful cakes and having earl grey tea.
"Quite a lovely little place isn't it?" Vergil asked as he sipped his hot tea, politely looking at Lady.
"Agreed. I'm glad we stumbled upon this place, plus it's nice and cosy." The huntress responded whilst cutting a piece of red velvet cake for herself.
"So. . . what else could we do after this?" The blue devil wondered.
Lady wasn't too sure herself. It was not even two in the afternoon, meaning that they had alot of time on their hands.
"Well how about this then? We just go wherever and if it tickles our fancy, be it dinner, drinking, or movies. Hell maybe do all of them in no paticular order."
"Very well." Vergil smirked, causing Lady to blush.
Several hours later. . .
It was 8 o'clock, the night sky was clear, and flooded with bright stars. But of course, the two devil hunters weren't paying attention, they were far too intoxicated to notice. Vergil said to himself he'd just have the one drink, but one became two, two became four etc etc. The last time he was drunk, he lost his wallet and underwear, vowing to never drink again, until now.
"Well, I must say I am absolutely pissed." Vergil drunkingly said, stumbling but barely managing to walk, with Lady in the same predicament.
"Ya know Vergie, if I wasn't so drunk, and had proper mobility. I-I-I'd kiss you." The huntress blurted out, almost losing her balance as she kept close to her drunken companion.
The blue devil laughed at the thought, him kissing Lady? In his dreams. While the two made their way back to Devil May Cry, they linked arms in order to maintain their balance. Before they entered however, Lady turned around to face the drunken son of Sparda. He placed his hand at the locked door, almost trapping her. Their hot breath was the only sound between the two.
"You alright handsome?" Lady asked, as her face got closer to Vergil's.
"I wanted to ask you this. . . and you don't need to answer if you don't want to. Do you trust me?" He responded, taking in her scent. The smell of cider paled in comparison to the lavender scent that caressed her body.
"What kind of question is that? Of course I do." She responded, burping which made the blue devil chuckle.
"Then you don't mind if I unlock the door, and get ourselves inside. . . I'll make us coffee to sober us up."
"Oh. . . yeah, thank you." The huntress replied, almost sounding dissapointed that Vergil didn't make a move on her.
"Damn tease. . ." Lady thought to herself as she managed to sit herself down on the leather couch, doing her best to keep her body straight, instead of slouching. Despite already feeling the headache that followed shortly, she focused on small pictured frame on Dante's desk.
Meanwhile, Vergil managed to enter the kitchen to prepare some coffee without making a mess. Flicking the kettle switch on, he brought out two ceramic mugs, and a teaspoon to add the coffee and sugar, so far his drunken state was fading, and slowly he began to regain his mobility and focus.
Once he was finished making the coffee, his eyes widened as he walked back into the lounge area. Lady had unbuttoned the first three buttons on her shirt, revealing her cleavage, glistening with sweat which caught her friend off guard.
She noticed this and smirked at him.
"It's boiling in here, and haven't you seen these before?" She asked, pointing at her chest.
"If you weren't my friend, I would've called for a taxi to get you home. But considering I just made us coffee, that would be impolite." He replied as he passed a mug to her before taking the other, and sitting next to her.
"Today's been good, hasn't it?" Lady inquired, blowing on her coffee before sipping it.
"Although drinking isn't really my thing, I'd rather do it with you. But yes, today has been great. I'm actually glad that we've gotten to know each other better." Vergil answered with a small smile.
Without warning, Lady moved up to him, kissing his cheek. The blue devil's face went red as he touched the part where he was kissed.
"Sorry. . .I. . . just wanted to thank you. If you want me to go I'll-" The huntress was cut off by Vergil's warm lips on her own.
Her eyed widened in surprise, she felt a warm feeling inside of her as she shut her eyes, returning the kiss without hesitation. After a minute of soft kissing, she pulled back to breathe, wrapping her arms around Vergil's neck, staring into his eyes.
"You're a good kisser Vergil, I'm impressed." She whispered softly, while the blue devil simply smiled at her.
"I apologise if I've made you uncomfortable-" Lady interuppted him by placing her finger on his lips, sushing him.
"It's okay. I'm simply surprised that of all people that I'd kiss, it's you." She said before removing herself from Vergil, yawning and stretching herself.
"You should take the spare room Lady. You'll sleep better up there." Vergil quietly said whilst picking her up, carrying her as she gradually felt more and more sleepy.
Once he brought her into the spare room, he removed her shoes, leaving her socks on, and laying her head on the pillow. Due to the heat within the building, he assisted in removing her shirt, revealing a dark silky blue bra which caressed her breasts elegantly. Finally switching off the bedside lamp, Vergil and Lady simply looked at each other smiling.
"I'll make us breakfast tomorrow, but if you need anything else, just knock on the main bedroom door, and I'll help, sweet dreams." He whispered to her, yawning as he stood up, about to leave, only for Lady to grab his arm.
"Just lay down with me Vergil. You need the company." She pleaded him to stay. Then he sighed in defeat as he kicked off his shoes, removing his coat and shirt before tossing them to the ground.
Eventually they were both in their underwear, and the next thing they did was something very different for them, cuddling into each other before falling into a deep sleep, hoping the hangover wouldn't be too harsh on them.
