Infamous Son of Sparda

[Indie Devil May Cry Dante RP blog. Caught up with the novels, manga and games 1-5.]

Souji just watched him walk around... smirking and looking Souji over. Souji had half a mind to roll his eyes playfully in response. He was getting used to his shenanigans...

But Souji was suddenly pushed against the wall, feet dangling, face to face with Dante just inches apart. "Do I??" he breathed. Wide-eyed and trying to regain his breath from the shock, he knew how he probably looked. "What if this is what I want?"

[burning-ardor]

Dante dipped his head some with a small chuckle, a half-cocked grin, his right hand lifting to gently run his fingers through Souji's well-kept hair. Quietly he admired how soft the man's hair was. Striking blue eyes were regarding Souji with a warmth in them -- a true, relaxed kind of warmth often not seen. "I know this is what you want. It's what you've always wanted, right?" How amused he sounded leaning in, saying this into the man's ear softly. Dante had learned for a while how to properly tease the other hunter: the reactions always priceless.

What would garner the better reaction....?

He lifted his face away from Souji's ear before redirecting his attentions to the man's lips. A light brush of his own against them as he teased, gently testing the waters before going in again.

[akumanoken]

Fuck...

Dante had a lock on just how to treat Souji. How to tease him. He fought the soft flush on his cheeks. "I'd be surprised if you ever acted on it," he managed to lilt playfully. "I guess we'll have to see."

[burning-ardor]

Oh, well that sounded a lot like a challenge if you asked him.

"If I ever acted on it, hm?" Dante mused some giving Souji the once over as he walked around him in a half circle. Gloved hand gently stroking the forming stubbled on his chin. There was a playfulness to his eyes that the little grin he sported didn't reflect. He wasn't much for holding back when the situation didn't deem it necessary -- thus he scooped Souji up partially with little effort. Gently pressing the young man to the wall just behind him; their faces mere inches apart. "Gotta be careful about how you poke the bear, Souji~"

@burning-ardor // Starter From Credo

There was a familiar ache.

The wound from Yamato always ached while he was in the human world. It was like an echo, a reminder, a faded handprint of his sins as a mortal man. It caused Credo to stir from resting his eyes, not that he needed much sleep as a full-fledged demon. The angelo felt himself rock gently as the horn of the train sounded.

It must have been close to the demon's destination. It was a well-paying job of demonic activity plaguing a small rancher town. Most hunters wouldn't make such a trip to the mountains, enduring the high winds and bitter cold, for Credo; however, it wasn't any different from doing so in mild temperatures.

Credo stared at his reflection in the window, watching the trees pass by. His hair was longer, shabbier, and unkept from traveling so much. This earned his nick names from other hunters as "enigmatic wanderer", said with both indifference and venom. It was a far cry from his days in The Order, where appearances matter, that and absolute obedience.

What a lamb he was back then, naive, too trusting, too scared of the demons, too deaf, too blind, being led to the wolves in white robes, and now he paid for it in the blood of innocent people and even his own humanity.

The horn from the train blew as it slowed and pulled into the small station. It was really too small to be called a proper station, more like a rest area. Credo stirred again and stood up to exit the locomotive, his back cracking from the long session of sitting. The cold air felt nice against his skin, causing him to wake up a bit more and stare at the horizon of mountains and snowy tops. It wasn't a sight he saw before, not being on Fortuna and it's tropical beauty.

Credo turned serious, staring down at the town below from the rest station. Demonic energy radiated off the location in waves. Something foul was happening here, and Credo would put an end to it. So he began to walk down the dirt road towards the haunting town.

[burning-ardor]

By the time the train was arriving into the station, Dante had already been at this town for the past three and a half hours. The job came up from Morrison as opposed to the usual phone call he would get. Typically if that man approached him with a job that meant it was something a little more dire. And to be honest he could use the time to stretch his legs and get out of town for a bit.

Oh, and pay his bills. Always with the bills.

The shit happening in this sleepy mountain town could be felt even if it was unseen. The demonic energy was tangible to someone sensitive to its presence -- as it appeared there were some humans who had taken note. Some who had no actual idea but, their gut instinct told them to keep to themselves and head inside early. Whatever it was didn't set it roots down in the town itself, no. Blue eyes cast up towards the direction of the mountain peaks.

There, up there is definitely where it stayed.

"Great, gonna have to take a hike then. What a pain." Dante scratched his growing scruff a little bit then a small shrug. Well, what was a demon hunter to do? The bastards always seemed to prop themselves up in the most inopportune places.

[akumanoken]

He laughed at the mental image. "Oh?? And what if I beat you to it?? I'll just roll right on you and curl up and sleep. Nothing you can do then!!! It's like cat gravity!!!" He's blushing just a little. If he woke up to Dante on top of him he may have to second-guess reality.

[burning-ardor]

"Well then -- we'll just have to see what happens from there." Just like that he pulled Souji in a little closer looking down into the man's eyes. "If you roll on top of me I don't know how I'll feel. Maybe a little frisky though, yeah~?"

[akumanoken]

"Oh, I know..." he assured softly. "But since you have a better place to rest than a destroyed office space, you should probably take it." He leaned over some, bumping hips. "And you don't have to worry so much about how much time you take. I never have complained about you sticking around before."

[burning-ardor]

"Fine, I'll make sure to sprawl out all over your bed. Throw my arm over your face while I sleep dramatically -- all that." The hunter gave Souji a grin as he bumped the other's hip in turn.

"Or you know, better yet, I'll make sure to roll over right on top of you at the most inconvenient time."

[burning-ardor]

"....Well that just doesn't look right."

[akumanoken]

"I hate that you're right about that..." he said softly. He shook his head, and his signature smile appeared again. "Well, do you still have an office to go to or do you need a place to crash? I got you if you do..."

Sometimes with Dante, it was best to just let the ridiculousness of it all slide. "...if you made it out, I guess that means your brother did too. I hope?"

[burning-ardor]

"My office is a little fucked up, yeah. Though could've been completely destroyed so I'm not without a roof over my head entirely." Dante mentioned with a little gesture of his hands. "Huh, Vergil? Yeah ....maybe he's out, but I'm not too sure." Even though they had been trying to smooth things out, in their own way down there, he wasn't entirely pleased about Vergil's permanent return. On the one hand of course he missed his brother, but on the other ---

[akumanoken]

"Why don't you think I'm always trying to get you to tag along?? The Market opens this month and so I'll be busy late in the month, but it's a nice bonus, and the clients for the other business are starting to file back into the Redgrave area, so I don't have to travel as far for any social events..." A boy who really hunted demons for the love of the game...

The news that Dante and Vergil were perhaps getting along better made him smile "Oh, maybe we'll start seeing him more often the---"

"I'm... I'm sorry, did you just say... in hell?? Dante, what the fuck??"

[burning-ardor]

"What's that look for?" Dante laughed a little mid question as he pat Souji's arm. "Considering what I do for a living and you're somehow surprised by this?" And damn if that slayer didn't look completely amused at the other man's shock.

[burning-ardor]

@akumanoken

"Nowhere permanently. I was a bit preoccupied dealing with the post death-tree shit." Dante kept his arm around Souji giving him a playful little jostle. "It's good to see you're still around town."

[burning-ardor]

  “You want to tell me why you find me more fun and interesting than your clients? I sense you didn’t tell Nero everything you wanted to say.”

@akumanoken​

[burning-ardor]

akumanoken​:

“Cheeky ass,” he retorted softly.  That man knew exactly why Souji snagged a bottle of the good stuff.  Dante was Dante, so Souji knew better to ask what moved him to be so transient, even if it did make him worry some… a lot… in the first few months.

“Ah… you mean like personal life?? Yeah well, mostly drawing again.  It’s been relatively peaceful so when I’m not hunting or ste– finding treasure, I’m sketching.  It’s kinda nice to have a bit of my old life back…”

A snort. 

  “I’m the cheeky ass, huh?” Dante decided he was going to keep his arm around Souji’s shoulders as they walked just because the look on the man’s face was absolutely priceless. When the dark haired man cut himself off to replace the previous start of the word with finding treasure he had to cast a curious look, but decided not to press too much about that.

There was a low hum in his throat before settling on what he’d respond with. “I’d like to see your art if that’s okay. I remember the last time I was at your place saw some of the older pieces you did and they were damn nice if I do say so.”

planning on becoming a cowboy this united nations month for school on monday and im not even sure if a cowboy counts but fuck it i am going to be a cowboy with a gay flag on me and bring this print of dante with me everywhere the school campus, yeehaw mofos

[burning-ardor]

@akumanoken continued from here.

  “Top shelf? I didn’t take you for the type who liked whiskey that much.” The man responded with a slight grin before giving a cheeky wink. Dante knew what that bottle of whiskey was doing collecting dust there in Souji’s place; made the man feel a bit bad about his frequent and long absences. Course it was difficult to describe or explain to anyone exactly what made Dante decide he was going to skip town without a word most times. These days the urge to do so was becoming a little more frequent especially after the most recent and final altercation with Vergil.

He hoped it was final at least. 

  “Anything else been going on with you outside the job?” 

[hedjeroo]

i wanted in on the miserable dante train and also i've never drawn him before????

[akumanoken]

As he is want to do, being gone long stretches, decides to grab Souji rather gently round the waist to turn him around. "Hey there~"

@burning-ardor

Souji was bored, as per usual without the demon slayer around to liven things up. Another minor job done and a trip to the market planned before going home and watching the sunset over the harbor...

But hands grabbed his waist, pulling him around and he blinked in surprise. "D-Dante??" Lips pulled into a smile, eyes wide and arms lifted up as if to wrap around the other's shoulders....

But then he quickly regained himself, a pout on his lips as his arms, instead of wrapping around the slayer, instead crossed over his chest. "Well well look who finally turned up?? You at least look the same... I half expect you to come see me one day knocking on death's door.

[burning-ardor]

akumanoken​:

“I guess not, but then again we are talking food and not booze, so that’s fine,” he laughed.  “Steak sounds good I got a few ideas.”  He knew exactly what to make now, and so with a smile he started walking lighter, almost skipping.

The other joked about his reactions and he laughed, letting the other move him around.  “Yeah yeah, sorry~~” he winked.  “Just nice to hear, I guess…”  As it was, Souji seemed to be in a constant state of missing Dante.  Hearing that it went both ways was… encouraging.  

  “I mean if you want booze we can do booze too -- depending what you have at your place.” Long as it wasn’t wine. If that was all Souji had then maybe for the sake of being agreeable after a long absence he might stomach it -- maybe. As they casually strolled along he took in the sights of the city which he had left behind for the better half of a year, casually glancing over towards Souji every so often as the demon hunter tried to think of some kind of conversation. 

  “Suppose I can tell you how much I appreciate you at least twice a month then eh? Guessing you don’t hear it enough?”
