pairing ;; vergil x gn!reader
summary ;; vergil gets upset at you. he struggles figuring it out how to apologise and make it up to you.
You truly hadn't meant to do that to him. At first, you didn't think it was a big deal, looking through his collection of books. Not knowing it was something quite personal to him, you read some of his chosen literature.
When Vergil caught a glimpse of you reading his favourite piece in particular, he grabbed the book from you and shut it. โOhโ hey! I was reading that!โ You piped up, getting up to retrieve the book back from him. He looked at you with a look you hadn't seen before.
..A look that signifies that he was truly upset with what you had just done.
โWhere did you acquire this?" He asked in a stern voice, showing you the book. You were confused, but pointed over towards the box filled with other books. โI-I was just tidying up our room and I found that box.โ You carefully explained, your heart racing in your chest. You felt scared. Scared that you had done something wrong.
He looked over to the box before his gaze moved back onto you, he warns in a cold tone; โDo not go through my stuff again. Is that understood?โ You quickly nodded, โi-i'm sorry! I didn't knowโโ โSave your excuses, you fool.โ Ouch, that really stabbed your heart in the worst way ever. He sounded pissed, and not the stern Vergil you were able to joke around with.
You swallow your saliva, nodding timidly. โI understand..โ You say in defeat, mood absolutely crushed. With how pissed he seemed, you quickly make your way out of the room to give him some space. You didn't want to make him more pissed than he already was.
..Vergil watched you leave your shared room, feeling his blood boil. He'd never expect this out of his partner. He understands that they're curious, but it didn't give them the right to snoop through his stuff. The pieces of literature he had carefully chosen. Every piece reminded him of his mother.
But, his anger quickly wore off as he realized how harsh he was. Especially towards the person he loves and cherishes the most. Unfortunately, he wasn't the type to.. apologize with words.
Surely he could.. he could buy you something you like. But, what if you don't accept his apology? He was spiraling just thinking about this. This is the first time he's able to admit thisโ he was afraid to face you after how harsh he was towards you.
Vergil is always affectionate and soft whenever it came to you. Even if he didn't say it, he expressed it through his actions. It was rare if Vergil was mad at you in any way.
He decided to leave you alone for a couple of days. It couldn't be that bad, he'll give you space for a few days and then he can apologise to you. That's easy.
..If only that were true. He was so sad when you told him you were gonna sleep over a friend's house for a few nights. He had no other choice but to let you. He wanted to give you space either way, so it didn't matter if you went or not.
He was okay the first day without you around the apartment. He did chores around the apartment, cleaning and sharpening his blade, cooking himself dinner and whatnot. He had to admit, it was.. too quiet without you around. However, he was able to make it through the day.
The next few days got worse. He missed you. An awful lot. He missed it when you were by his side all the time, he missed your stupid questions, he missed your voice, he missed how you were able lift up the mood every time.
He had a hard time sleeping with how your scent was lingering in the air, driving him crazy. He really couldn't take it anymore, he wanted you to come back now.
He grabbed his phone and scrolled until he found your number. His thumb hoovered over the call button, hesitating for a moment. What if you didn't want to come home? But, he quickly shook the thought away as he dialed you, putting the phone to his ear.
He listened to the ringing noise, hoping you'd pick up. And.. you did. โHello?โโ He cuts you off, โMy love, are you able to return tonight? I.. I'd like to talk. In person.โ He was calm as he explained himself. You were quiet for a moment, before replying; โYeah, yeah I can come back tonight.โ He let out a sigh of relief when you agreed to come home. โThank you. I will wait for you return.โ He said his thanks before hanging up the phone, feeling hope rising in his chest.
He waited for your return patiently. He was thinking of how he'd apologise to you. He had (unfortunately) asked Dante for some advice and after getting teased relentlessly, he said to give you a box of chocolates. That wasn't hard, he assumed. You liked this one particular brand of chocolates, so he bought of a box of them.
His train of thought was broken when he heard the front door open, his eyes immediately moving to look at the door. You were there. Even after a year of dating, you looked mesmerising to him. โWelcome home.โ It was awkward. They hadn't seen eachother for a few days, it felt weird coming back since.. that happened.
You had one more thing to do, which was to have a talk with Vergil like he had requested over the phone. You silently thanked him, taking a seat next to him. You were nervous, nervous to face him. Your hands were shaking, Vergil noticed it. He slowly placed his hand over yours, giving a small squeeze.
He cleared his throat, โI.. apologise. For what happened a few days ago with the books. It wasn't right of me to be upset over that.โ You listened to his apology, looking at him. Those icy blue eyes, you could never stop getting lost staring at them. You nodded at him.
โIt's okay, Vergil. I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have looked without your permission. But, is it okay if I ask if he books mean something?โ You ask, curiosity getting the best.
He was silent for a moment before speaking up; โthey remind me of my mother. Every piece of literature I have read reminds me of her. Which was the reason why I had.. gotten defensive over it.โ Your mouth was an o-shape as you listened to his reasoning. That's why.
โI.. I never knew, Vergil.โ You say, surprised to learn about this. โI do not converse about my mother often.โ He simply states.
The atmosphere was definitely better than before. You felt bad so you wrapped your arms around him, engulfing him in a hug. You can feel his body tense up when you do so, but he slowly relaxes and leans into the hug. โI promise I won't go through your stuff without your permission again, Vergil.โ You promise to him, tightening your grip on him.
You pull away to look at him, โThank you for telling me. I feel so much better talking about it rather than avoiding it. I was.. actually scared you were super pissed at me.โ You let out a chuckle. Vergil's lips pursed upwards very slightly.
You lean in for a kiss, making him surprised but he wasn't complaining. He leaned into the kiss aswell, his hands went down to your waist. They slowly rubbed your waist on both sides, making sure he didn't forget how you felt.
You pull away first which makes him frown slightly. But, it quickly goes away as he whispers to you; โI have chocolates in the fridge for you. Your favourite ones.โ You perked up hearing that. โVergil, you shouldn't have!โ You said as you got up, sprintimg to the kitchen for them.
He actually had a smile on his face as he crossed his arms, shaking his head. Having you back made him feel assured you were never gonna leave his side no matter what.
