This is loosely based on a scene from The Night Lord's "Sons of Sparda", although with a little twist added in there. I'd also like to picture, given the fact that the two are partners and that Trish bares resemblance to Dante's late mother, Eva, she would take the advantage of that fact and make Dante uncomfortable by constantly teasing him.

Devil May Cry Shop

After a rough day of hunting down demons, Dante decided to head back to the Devil May Cry shop and take a shower before resting. Following the ordeal against Mundus on Mallet Island, Dante was busy taking job requests from his handyman, J.D. Morrison, which usually involved taking out various demons from the underworld. He was often joined on these missions by Trish, a demon created by Mundus who resembled his mother, Eva, and Lady, a demon hunter Dante ran into during the Temen-ni-gru incident who had now joined the shop. However, despite being Dante's partner, that didn't stop Trish from teasing Dante or leaving him uncomfortable during her resemblance to his mother.

As he opened the door and flexed his arms, Dante noticed Trish sitting on the desk, placing her legs above each other.

"Hey, Dante. Rough day?" Trish greeted.

"Yeah." Dante told Trish as he took off his coat and placed it on the hat stand. "There was a demon had been posing as a priest around the area. Not the first time I've faced such one."

"I hope you weren't hurt back there." Trish inquired.

Dante chuckled at Trish's remark. "I appreciate your concern, Trish, but I made it out fine."

Trish then got up from the desk and reached out to Dante, intending to seduce him. "You know, I could help you rest from the fighting."

As Trish placed her arms around Dante's neck, Dante laughed nervously, as he was uncomfortable by Trish's teasing, as he kept seeing his mother in her.

"Um, okay..." Dante said nervously. "I'm gonna take a shower."

"I'll go with you." Trish insisted.

"Um, thanks, but I'd rather shower alone." Dante told Trish as he let go of her arms and walked to the shower.

As Dante walked down the stairs to head to the shower, a small smile crept onto Trish's lips, as she saw the perfect opportunity to have Dante finally notice her affection for him. She had developed feelings for Dante when he saved her from Mundus' servitude on Mallet Island, but Dante would normally brush off her feelings aside, as he treated her as nothing more than a partner or a friend. She thought it was finally the moment Dante had noticed her.

As he turned on the faucet, Dante sensed the water spraying from his silver hair down to his feet and let out a sigh of relief, as the water washed out the sweat obtained from work. Dante was relieved that he could finally spend time alone without anyone bothering him, not Morrison nor Trish nor Lady. However, as Dante was showering, small footsteps were around the room, taking him off guard.

"Huh? Who's there?" Dante pondered.

No longer hearing the footsteps, Dante went back to rubbing his body as the water kept spraying on his body and began whistling to himself. Then, a female hand reached out to Dante's chest, causing him to yelp and turn around in panic, only to see Trish, completely in the nude, standing beside him.

"Trish? What the hell are you doing?!" Dante demanded.

"I thought I could join you in." Trish told Dante. "You know as they say, it takes two for a company."

Dante was frightened in seeing Trish seducing him. "What are you talking about? Are you okay?"

Trish giggled. "Why I wouldn't be okay if I'm with the man I love?"

"What?!" Dante said in confused tone.

"What's the matter? Why can't you see it?" Trish teased.

"Because you look like my mother!" Dante persisted.

Trish came closer towards Dante, but he backed away and pushed her away. "Stay away from me!"

"Fine! If that's what you want!" Trish said as she left the shower. "I can't believe I'm dealing with a manchild."

Dante let out a sigh as Trish left the shower. What had just happened had unexpectedly caught him off-guard, and not in a good way.

After Trish left the shower, not even bothering to put something on to cover herself, and closed the door, she heard a laughter coming from where she was standing from and turned around to see Lady laughing at her, causing her to cover her body out of embarrassment.

"What's so funny, Lady?" Trish demanded.

"I can't believe you tried to seduce Dante again!" Lady spoke as she couldn't contain her laughter.

Trish let out an exasperated sigh, as her attempt to gain Dante's attention for her feeling towards him had backfired again.

And that's the end of the story. If you ship Dante & Trish as a couple and don't find her resemblance to his mother, Eva, as a problem, that's fine, but personally, I would find it to be a bit awkward if I had someone who looked like my mother be my girlfriend.

Let me know your thoughts on this story and I hope you liked it. Until then, stay safe and take care.
