temptation looks good on his desk, but not when you are interrupted at the worst possible moment.
NOW LOADING... oral(f recieving), backshots, fingering, interrupted orgasms, soft dom dante on a mission. LIGHTS ON, PANTS OFF, GAME ON.
For once, the Devil May Cry office didn’t smell like blood, pizza, or regret; even better, it was bright because there was finally electricity. It was the late hours, usually when any work was done. You just stayed to rest or look after the man-child you are dating, who is now lounging in his beat-up chair, legs kicked up on the desk, lazy flipping a magazine as you sit on the counter nearby, sipping what’s left from your drink.
“You know, the place looks halfway decent for once,” he grins, and you arch a brow, hoping it’s not because of the random model that decided to bless his eyes. “Yeah, wonder why. Maybe because someone paid the bills.”
Dante clicks his tongue, closing the magazine and throwing it somewhere on the wooden surface. “Can’t put a price on ambiance, sweetheart.”
You roll your eyes, but smiling in the process as you once again take a look at him. He’s still shirtless from earlier, chest slick with leftover sweat, pants loose around his hips, and the way his abs flex with every shift and breath—yeah, it’s distracting.
And maybe that’s why the words slip out before you can stop them, or stop yourself from talking before thinking. “I kinda want you to bend me over the desk.”
He stopped, literally stopped breathing, and froze, then slowly looked over at you, one brow raised because did he hear you correctly, was he fantasizing, or was this a dream come true?
“...Pardon?” he says, oh-so-innocently grinning like the devil, even though you know he heard it loud and clear. How could he look so calm yet so excited at the same time? And you just stared into space, not daring to look him in the eyes, feeling somehow embarrassed.
“You heard me.”
“I did,” his tone is low, but has this playful ring to it, which to some extent challenges you to do something, to take the initiative, and not be ashamed to say what you think or need, especially if you need him. “You wanna run that by me again, princess?”
Your cheeks burn, but you still won’t look at him. How cute. “I want you to bend me over your desk and…fuck me.”
He whistles, rising from the chair with slow, deliberate steps. “Ask and you shall receive.”
And just like that, you’re bent over his clean desk and he’s behind you, pulling your pants down with one hand as you hear the rustle of his belt, the low groan when he fists his cock and drags it along your soaked slit.
“Fuck, baby… already this wet for me? What kind of filthy little girlfriend says stuff like that?” You moan something incoherent, and then he’s inside—deep. The same hand that pulled down your panties is now on your lower back, and it’s a little bit cold, but don’t worry, both of you will warm up. Dante rocks into you from behind with that slow, filthy rhythm that makes your eyes roll back and knees weak.
“That’s it,” he breathes, pressing kisses along your shoulder. “Taking me so good every time. Fuck, baby—you wanted this bad, didn’t you?”
You moan, nodding, unable to speak as he thrusts into you, dragging out every inch like he’s savoring the feel, because damn you always feel so good when you take him in one go. There’s something so nice, lovely, and magical about you, something so addicting since his praises pour between panting grunts.
“You are so warm, so tight—perfect for me…just look at you, my pretty girl.”
Dante leans closer, his breath hot on your ear, as he then presses a kiss to your cheek, but not before licking the sweat from your skin like he’s starving. Your devil boyfriend is relentless, hips hitting you just right, and you feel yourself squeezing his cock even more, embrassingly so. He groans when you clench, slowing down just to tease.
“You clean this place, pay the bills, and let me hit it raw? Yeah, I’m keepin’ ya~”
You are so close to losing it, completely lost in the sound of skin slapping, the sharp groan in his throat, the messy heat building between your thighs. So close to making a mess on the desk you spent so much time cleaning and tidying, and now your knuckles are white from gripping the edge, so damn good—until you hear footsteps.
Click. Clack. Click. Clack.
Your eyes shoot open, and Dante goes still. His head whips toward the door just as the handle turns. You let out a panicked gasp, and he yanks out of you with a groan that sounds physically painful.
“Under the desk, now,” he hisses, shoving you down as the door creaks open. Panic flashes across your face, but he’s already gently pulling out and shoving you under the desk. “Shh, I got this,” he whispers, stuffing himself back into his jeans with one hand while casually grabbing his magazine with the other. His grin returns like nothing happened, dropping into his chair, pants halfway buttoned, hair a damn mess, and props his legs up like he hasn’t just been deep inside you fifteen seconds ago.
“Lady! Damn, didn’t think I’d see you tonight.” he greets, far too casually as the woman steps in, hands on her hips looking rather annoyed. “Doing midnight office hours now?”
“The place looks rather intact. I expect you to have the money you owe me. Or are you just lazing around again?” And of course, it wasn’t Dante’s doing that the office looks brand new. It was yours. Because that’s what a good girlfriend does: helps her idiot devil boyfriend keep his business from crumbling into hellfire, and tries to be quiet with her hands over her mouth so she doesn't make a sound.
“What can I say?” Dante shrugs. “Gotta stay busy somehow.” The other devil hunter narrows her eyes, then glances around the room. Her gaze lingers on the desk, unbeknownst to her, you are hidden and trembling under it.
“Something smells… off,” she mutters scrunching her nose, and he chuckles, masking the flush on his face with a cocky grin, like he usually does when he caused trouble, trying not to get caught. “Just the manly incense, for the vibe.” Dante plays it cool as Lady continues to speak about money, debt, and new gigs. Above you, though, his hand casually drops under the desk, just enough to twirl a lock of your hair to keep you somehow calm, that this whole fiasco would end soon, and there’s no need to worry. Yeah, no need to worry my ass.
Lady shakes her head and sighs, not wanting to deal with his nonsense right now and ruin her night. “I'd better have that 20 grand by next week. If you don’t have the money, I’m coming back with Trish.”
The second the door clicks shut, Dante lets out the longest breath of his life. This was incredibly hard; maybe Lady really is the final boss…of interrupting things. Thousands of thoughts ran through his head—like how next time, he’s locking the damn door after midnight. One time, he tried to have sex in the office, and of course, Lady walks in, of all people.
But that didn’t matter now. The important thing is she’s gone, and it’s just the two of you again.
“You can come up now, sweetheart.” His voice is warm as he reaches under the desk to help you sit back on his lap, and when his hands glide up your bare thighs, making you shiver. He kisses you, slow and sweet, his lips burning hot from the build-up pleasure which was unfortunately interrupted. But don’t worry your pretty little head, everything can be finished or started from the beginning when Dante is on the case.
“Now… where were we?”
You’re still panting from the shock, from nearly being seen by one of your friends while you are being sent into another dimension. Flushed and needy, Dante thrives on your reaction. One of his hands settles between your legs, gently nudging them apart again.
“Shit, baby,” he murmurs against your throat. “Still so wet. That interruption didn’t slow you down at all, huh?”
You shake your head, breath hitching as his fingers slide up your slit, spreading your slick as your hand gripped his shoulder to support yourself.
“You really were gonna let me fuck you stupid on this desk,” he grins. “God, I love you.”
He slips one finger inside, then another. Slow, shallow strokes that have you squirming in his lap, nails digging into his shoulders. He keeps his other hand on your thigh, holding you open just the way he likes. His lips graze your ear.
“C’mon, sweetheart. Be good for me, yeah?” His fingers curl just right and you cry out loud for fuck sake, thighs clenching, hips rocking helplessly against his palm. You can't believe how good it feels, as if he's touching you for the first time and knows what to do, as if he's loving you for the first time, but darling, you're his first and last love.
Here is the climax, heavy breathing, squeezing and when you cum, hard and sudden, he keeps moving, gently now, of course. Don’t want you overstimulated before the long-awaited dessert.
“Atta girl.” Grinning, smug as ever, Dante kisses your temple, completely drunk on you. You are so beautiful, gentle, and adorable, he simply has no words to describe you, to describe exactly what he feels—one thing is clear, it is love. “Let’s finish the business we had on the desk, hmm?”

It's late. Like really late. The sort of late your parents warned you against.
The type where things go 'bump in the night', whatever that phrase even means.
The type where really, you probably shouldn't be out this late.
But it's not your fault! Your best friend had just gone through a god awful break up with that bastard of a man - fucking Mark. What a bitch! And as any good friend would, you spent the evening at hers, with tubs of ice cream, shitty take out and old rom coms. She offered for you to stay the night, but if we're being entirely honest, you missed the comfort of your own bedroom. Your comfy throws, soft pillows and warm plushies you cuddled to bed.
Of course now you kinda wish you took her up on the offer, given how you were stuck in this awful alleyway. Why would you take the alley? Your mother's old words float around in your brain, 'Stick to main roads! Never the dodgy shortcuts, better safe and late than dea-'
As the last word rings in your brain, somewhere behind you, some kind of weapon is fired off, and birds scatter around you and the alley, scrambling away from the awful noise. You feel yourself jump, wrapping your coat tighter around you as your pace quickens in an attempt to speedily find the end of the alley. Why does it go on so long?
From just behind you, you can hear some kind of creature, crawling and sprawling across the ground. It's getting closer and closer, and the realisation finally hits you:
You can't escape this thing.
Not with your two legs, and its, well, more than two.
You can feel your legs slowing the further you go, and it doesn't help that the ground feels like its swallowing you in. Wait a minute, what? You look down briefy, and realisation number two of the night settles in - the ground is.. not the ground? What was once that weird mix of asphalt and concrete, broken and cracked from years of neglect, is now weirdly soft and squishy, squelching under your feet as you cringed, struggling to pull your legs up to the next step.
A warbled laugh, distorted and unhuman, echoes round the rapidly transforming alley, trapping you in some kind of personal Hell (if only you knew..).
18:42 pm. They were late. Again. He's grumbling as he flicks through an old magazine, waiting for dinner to finally arrive. The one day he had to himself, with both Lady and Trish gone, and no stupid interruptions from Patty (who of course, would turn up unannounced every fucking time) and his pizza was late.
Great!
No, it's great. It's wonderful. Made even-fucking-better by Morrison strolling through the door, umbrella in one hand and pipe in the other,
"Oh dear ol' Dante.. look at'ya… all curled up an' grumblin' already, hmm? What, ya pizza late?"
The silver haired man only grumbles in response, crossing his arms across his chest in what could only be described as youthful defiance? The older man only laughs in response, pulling out a chair for himself and sitting across him,
"So, in dire need of a job, are ya?"
Dante only shakes his head, stubborn as ever with that scowl ever present on his face as Morrison huffs through his pipe, pulling out a stack of papers, throwing them onto the desk in front of them. The other lifts his head towards the papers, staring at the envelopes carefully ripped open and tossed across his desk. Each one, another bill he hadn't gotten round to paying (read: his actions on jobs were so damaging that each and every cent went towards paying them, first. How is a half demon half human demon hunter/private investigator supposed to make money like this?). Gas, water, electri-
He huffed, uncrossing his legs and collecting the papers, before pointing back at the older gentleman, who only leans back in his seat with a smile,
"I'll find a way, Morrison. Don't need it.."
What a fucking liar.
Morrison shakes his head, before pulling out a small file, placing it out on the desk,
"That so? Well, y'gonna wanna take it outta curiosity, no? Or, I can give it to the lovely ladies… speakin' of, where are they today, hmm? Don't even see sweet Lady Pa-"
"Don't. Don't mention her name. She'll turn up outta nowhere, and I need a break."
He lifts his hands up in the air, laughing again as Dante frustratedly runs a hand through his hair,
"Well, either way. Ya need the money, Dante. I paid ya bills this month - I ain't doin' shit next month, yeah?"
He's two seconds from retorting about not needing old man Morrison to pay his bills, except he takes a look around his shop. And honestly? Truth be fuckin' told? He's living in a dump.
It's barren, but for the jukebox he allowed himself to splurge on (which honestly, barely even works these days. You know how bad it is, if the guy who owns the jukebox has to punch it to get it to work?), the drumset that's only collecting dust (seriously, there's a thick layer on one cymbal), a broken pool table (so one time, a bunch of demons attacked him an- another time.), some old couches and his desk. Here and there, he's managed to display old devil arms from past jobs. Two fiery orange gauntlets, a tripartite nunchaku that seems to emit cold, two wide-curved blades similar to that of a scimitar (one orange, one blue) and many others sit up on the walls. His eyes linger over the Sparda blade a little longer, and he sighs.
If he really thinks about it, his little shop is a security risk. Y'know, with all the devil arms, the demons trapped within them and, well, him! But he isn't really one to think so much, not right now at least.
He runs a hand back through his hair again, yanking when his leather glove gets caught on the very ends, befor pinching the bridge of his nose, nodding,
"…what's the fuckin' job? Clean up on aisle five?"
"Yeah, somethin' like that. The land owners wanna sell the property - can't exactly do all that with weird stuffs happenin', can they?"
"And if it ain't demons, then what?"
"…It's always demons with ya, Dante."
"…"
He twirls Rebellion in his hand by the hilt, drilling the very blade of the sword into the ground. It's sure to leave a mark in the already decrepit floorboards, but at this point he's past caring. Especially when Morrison gets up, poking him with the tip of his umbrella and walks out towards the door, waiting at the handle,
"Well? What'll it be, hmm? Money, or mopin' about, waitin' on a pizza I cancelled?"
"You fuckin' cancelled my pizza?"
"Oh, please. Be more grateful! I bring ya money, y'know."
"…and you cancel my fuckin' pizzas."
He looks back towards his red jacket, draped over the chair, to the Cerberus nunchaku again. Fuck. There they were, collecting dust. Maybe he should take the job.
"Fine. Where's it at?"
"Oh, you'll love this part - just outside For-fuckin'-tuna."
"Damn? Weird cult place, huh?"
"Damn straight, kid. Well, good luck, hmm?"
Dante signals a goodbye handwave, collecting his jacket, his guns, Cerberus, Rebellion and glancing over the file Morrison left open on his desk. An old abandoned mansion just outside Fortuna? Yeah, this couldn't go wrong, at all, hmm?
Okay, so you weren't in an alleyway anymore. Where the fuck were you now?
As the 'alleyway' transformed around you, it occurred to you that you were, in fact, falling.
Falling through some strange void, to be precise.
You fell for what may have been mere minutes, moments, hours. You're not actually sure, for suddenly the passage of time doesn't feel real. Not when you've been falling this long. You can only hope it's been a few minutes, but who knows. Still, you find yourself dropped onto a hard tiled floor, with only a blue light to keep your company.
Naturally, your eyes seek the source of light first and foremost, flitting around the room until you find the large window on the left, through which you can just about see the moon.
There she stands, alone tonight. Part of you empathises with her, all alone as you pray someone, somewhere finds you. Another part of you envies her. For, even if the moon is alone, she has her freedom to roam the night skies, whilst you sit trapped in this room.
You slump against the window, the cool metal bars freezing your tear-
Freezing? Wait, no, that wouldn't make sense, would it?
Except that's exactly what was happening to them, as they trickled onto the metal. In fact, now that you looked up properly, you noticed four creatures, almost on a guard rotation. Each one was tall, and surrounded by an icy mist, with long blades protruding from their 'hands'.
Perhaps you'd call them demons. Not that you'd know to call them demons, given how you were too busy trying to figure out a way out of this hell hole. It appeared as though you were in a room that overlooked a courtyard of sorts. Upon looking properly, said courtyard was coated in ice, almost like an ice rink.
What a strange situation to find yourself in.
Lost in your thoughts, you don't realise the icy creature approaching you, not until it hits your bars, causing you to jump back with a scream you scramble to stifle. You're 99.9% sure that were it not for the bars, the creature would have jumped in, and gotten you. Suddenly, the metal bars make sense, and despite the shitty situation you find yourself in, you are grateful for them.
You take another look round the room, only to find it barren and empty. However, on the side opposite to the window overlooking the courtyard, the entire 'wall' is just a set of metal bars - almost like one long gate. It.. honestly makes no sense (then again, what does in this hellscape?). You walk up to it, tentatively wrapping your hands round the bars as you poke your head forwards, looking out into the corridor that awaits you.
As expected, creatures of sorts prowl the corridor, crawling along in sets of two. On one 'arm', what appears to be a shielf of sorts seems to be built into the creature's body. It honestly reminds you of a dinosaur from Jurassic Park, with its reptillian features.
You're at a loss for words. Trapped, in all ways possible. Trapped by the icy creatures guarding the upper courtyard, as the misty frost tumbles into the room past the bars. Trapped by the other creatures prowling in front of you, eager and alert. You're 100% sure that if you were to throw a shoe, they'd destroy it in mere seconds.
You like your shoes far too much to test that theory.
Meanwhile, Dante endured his journey. Endured, with an old motorcycle that barely worked half the time, truly pushing it to its limits. Through sheer dumb luck, it (and he) survives the journey, parked just along the side of the old gate protecting the land from any curious trespassers.
Was it trespassing if the owners paid him to deal with their… problem?
Not really, right?
Whatever, he clambered over the gate carefully anyway - if the problem was demons, then alerting them so quickly wasn't really on his list of things to do. Though, if he was entirely honest, the sheer scent of his half human, half demon-ness would probably be more than enough to alert any worthy foes.
In the very words of the foul beast that be Beowulf himself,
"It's the stench of betrayal. The stench of the accursed Sparda! I shall annihilate every last blood relation of Sparda!"
The words swim through his mind. It's no shock that he still finds himself hung up over the events that occurred, given how it was only a year ago. Oh, and his own dear brother very nearly aided in the end of the world - no biggie.
Despite very clearly defeating his own brother, and sealing the tower of Hell itself, demons continued to leech their way into the human world (keeping him paid, somehow), still cursing him for his father's so called betrayal of demonkind.
He sighed, pulling himself behind trees, through the awfully dense forest. So far, so good - no demo-
Aw, man. Always when he thinks it, huh?
Two demons, prowling in front of a large gate. Whilst they appear somewhat human, their anatomy is all wrong, crawling on four legs as a grotesque arm rips out of its back, reaching out. In the hand of this arm is a large, ugly eyeball, scanning the perimeter. And all this doesn't even cover the horror that is this creature's face, long and ripped, with pale white eyes, jagged teeth and a forked tongue that only waves in the air around it.
They make horribly warbly sounds, almost groans and grunts of pain (though, of course, Dante knows better. Such sounds are lures, traps to ensnare innocent creatures in its clutches.) He peeks out from behind the tree, assessing the situation which.. prowls in front of him, before unsheathing Rebellion in the cover of the dark night, making quick work of the two.
Perhaps if this were a video game, he'd yell out some silly phrase like, 'What's wrong? Ya scared?', but he's not in a video game, silly! (He is in a fanfiction though) No, instead he kicks the gate open, swinging his sword over his back, before sauntering through the path up to the old… house would be a strong word, no it's not quite right. Hells, not even calling it a mansion would be correct, given its sheer.. size. He takes note of two turret-esque shapes and groans - a castle. A fucking castle.
Where the fuck does Morrison find these fucking jobs?
He stares up at the building he's now acknowledged to be a castle (because of course, it's always a fucking castle), from which an icy wind billows out, over his feet. He thinks back to the three headed dog, wondering if he'd see another one. Now that could be fun.
It's been hours.
At least you think it's been hours.
You should have brought a watch, really. Who the fuck leaves home without a watch? Or a dead phone battery? Seriously, what were you thinking?
Then again - getting kidnapped by demons wasn't exactly on your to do list for the day, was it? Still you tap your shoes carefully on the floor, trying to pass the time and not go utterly insane. The only indication of time passing was the soft rumbling of your stomach. Wonderful. Pack a cereal bar next time, yeah?
Just in case.
In the distance, you can hear the clashing of metal upon metal, as well as some kind of blade slashing through… something? Presumably, a flesh of sorts. The creatures you had seen looked like they were made of some flesh-like material, so it's probably fairly accurate to call it that.
You lean forwards again, head poking at the metal bars. For a moment, the creatures skulking in front of your caged room whip round to you, snarling as they suddenly hone in on you. For a moment, you freeze up, unsure of what exactly to do. Was this it? Were you really going to die, in a weird caged room, surrounded by strange creatures both inside the building and outside?
Was this well and truly the end?
Yet a flurry of red whips past you, slashing through the creatures with practiced ease. They fall to the ground, liquid bubbling around them as their bodies dissolve into the ground. You're still far too shocked by the situation that presents itself to you.
"Same ol' demons, same ol' party!"
The voice snaps you out of your slight existential crisis, and your head snaps to your saviour, clad in red as he rests a large sword over his shoulder (hey now. Not that kind of sword. Not yet.). He turns to you, his silver hair almost reflecting the moon's light over the walls behind him, and pulls a face (after all, Morrison didn't mention any humans being stuck here),
"And you.. are..?"
You stand still, frozen by your shock first, before quickly shaking your head and giving him your name. He rolls your name across his tongue, tasting each and every syllable before kneeling at the very middle of the gate, using his hands to reveal a mechanism hidden under a tile,
"Here - you're, uh. Free to go, or somethin', yeah?"
"Wait! Wait.. what's your name?"
"My what?"
"…Name? I gave you mine.."
"My name? Why, so you can come yelling at me later? Not a fuckin' chance sweets-"
"No, of course not!"
You daren't mention how your brain suddenly switched itself off, your heart very much leading the conversation on as your cheeks flushed from embarrassment,
"…who am I supposed to thank? I don't even know your name.."
He frowned slightly. Usually, people yelled, hit and then screamed at him. Or shot him. Usually in that order, too. But here you were, sweetly asking his name. And truthfully, he couldn't really find a reason not to give you his name, so..
"Dante. Nice to.. meet you?"
"Dante, huh? Well, Mr Dante, how do you expect me to make my way out of here, hmm?"
"See, I knew there was something else, there always is! You just go out the way you came!"
"HOW?"
"THE FRONT DOOR, LADY."
"I DIDN'T COME THROUGH THE FRON- THERE'S A FRONT DOOR TO THIS PLACE?"
"What? How did you-"
"I got- Okay, I have no idea what the HELL is happening here anymore. I was on my way home from Chrissie's apartment - she had just broken up with Mark, what a bastard - and had no battery on my phone, no cash for a taxi, nothing! So I was tryna get home quick, and.. took a dodgy alleyway - yeah, I know! Anyway one minute it's just a dodgy alleyway and the next it's a weird squishy demon thi- wait. Were those demons? Are demons real? Oh my God, am I gonna di-"
He pulls his hand over your mouth, pulling you into a dark corridor by the waist, all while whispering a quiet 'shh' into your ear.
You'd be lying if you said the whole action didn't send shivers down your spine, and your eyes briefly soften at how he holds you, only to widen in fear at the sight of two more demons (again? Really?) scanning the corridor you had just left.
Luckily for both of you, the corridor you're in now has another exit. Unluckily for both of you, it's very narrow and very dark, leading you to awkwardly cling on to his hand as he leads you through it. Along the walls are various strange paintings, only really visible when you walk directly past them. It's a shame you can't pause to appreciate each one though, given your urgency to leave as quickly as possible.
In fact, it's luck which intervenes once more, as this corridor seems to lead directly out onto a balcony, from which a very unnecessarily complicated set of stairs take the two of you back down and out in front of the house.
Where two women stand, arms crossed with amused smiles on their face. One wears a cropped white button up, paired with black shorts, and various belts holding various weapons. Her hair is short and black, but more alluring that that is her bright red and blue eyes, piercing under the moonlight. The other pairs a tight black corset with black trousers and boots, slicked back long blonde hair and eyes that only hold questions. Dante only sighs, shaking his head at them,
"Not. A. Word."
Both lift their hands into the air, an amused huff leaving their lips as he leads you away,
"Tell Morrison I saved someone - you both take this job, yeah?"
They both shrug and nod, sauntering into the castle as Dante pulls you towards the exit. You may have a million questions, but he doesn't appear to be prepared to answer any, especially not when he pauses at the gate, turning to you,
"Do you have a way home, or do I need to..?"
Do you have a way home? Is he an idiot? Did he not catch the part where you had been kidnapped by a demon? In the middle of a dodgy alleyway? With a dead phone and no money?
You pull a face, gesturing with your hands as you attempt to answer him,
"I'm sorry did you not catch the part where I sai-"
"I caught all of it, thanks. No, I just-"
"If you caught all of it, then surely you know the part where I mentioned being KIDNAPPED. By a DEMON?"
"…I did."
"How in the name of all things to have ever existed on this godforsaken planet am I meant to get home like this?"
"…"
He opens his mouth briefly to answer, except nothing really comes out. How else are you supposed to get home? Taxis don't exactly come by here, public transport is a few hours away at best, and it's not like you could phone a friend. His eyes trail over towards his motorcycle, and he nods, already piecing together an idea,
"Well, hope y'not afraid of motorcycles - seems like I'm ya only option, Sweets."
You grumble, but let him help you onto the bike behind him, wrapping your arms around him as you attempt to ignore the wild THUMP THUMP your heart makes. You can only pray he doesn't hear it (spoiler alert - he most definitely does. Half demon half human, remember?) as you chastise yourself - come on! He just saved you, you can't be head over heels like this already!
He's not much better, his thoughts racing as your soft hands lace around his abdomen, and he starts driving back to the address you gave him (thank fuck for a GPS, even if it was shitty and barely working). And he tries to think even less of how he can hea-feel your heart beating against his back and how pretty you'd look, if he pulled over and lay you across the motorcycle and-
Foul! Naughty Dante! Back I tell ye, foul beast! Back!
The rest of the journey is silent, filled with your twinned anxieties and joint tension, until you fall asleep on his shoulder. And then he slows down slightly, unwilling to wake you without reason. At least until the two of you approach the city, where his motorcycle begins to break down,
"Noooo, no no, come on babe don't do this to me now!"
You stir from your sleep, as the bike splutters out final groan and grumblings,
"Huh???"
"Oh come on, this is-"
"What happened..?"
He almost slams his head on the handles, but holds himself together enough to turn to you, an apologetic look in his eyes,
"The.. bike's dead.. and it's really late. I.. don't think we can get back right now - best bet is to get a, uh-"
"Spit it out, Dante."
"Okay! Okay, I will, look-"
"Just say it!"
"A motel. Okay? Motel room. There's one just there, across the road, I'll cover it-"
"No way! I owe you, given how you saved me and all."
"Yeah, but you have no cash? Remember?"
"…right."
He holds back from making any comments on how you could pay him back in other ways, of course, focusing on leading you to the motel, and parking his sadly broken down bike in a bay.
Inside the motel is a very tight reception area, with barely any space for guests to even breathe, let alone for either you or Dante to stand side by side, as he barters with the receptionist on duty. The receptionist, on the other hand, takes one good look at the two of you and shoves forward one key,
"One room. S'all that's available."
Dante can feel your eye twitching behind him as he pulls you away towards the room given to you. The entire way, you're mumbling and grumbling on about there only being one room, how you're 99% sure he lied to you both, and there's probably rooms for days! And to each and every complaint, he just hums and nods, before opening the room.
Oh dear.
"…So. Don't hate me. Please don't hate me, yeah?"
"and they TOTALLY had more tha- Hey what's up?"
You peek over his sholder, only to look up at him with the most stunned, shocked and irritated look in your eyes. He's shrugging his shoulders and furrowing his eyebrows as your mouth drops open,
"Are you fucking serious."
"…One bed.. huh…"
"One bed???? What the fuck????"
"One bed."
"…"
"…"
"So do you-"
"I sleep on the right."
"You sleep on the right?"
"Mmmmhm."
"…Lucky I sleep on the left, huh?"
"Yeah. Luck, Sweets."
He shrugs off his coat, dumping it onto a chair before kicking off his boots, removing each and every weapon on him (what the fuck? How can someone even carry that many weapons? Each weapon he removes has you thinking, 'Oh that's the last one for sure', only for him to pull out yet ANOTHER weapon. Seriously! Where the hell is he keeping all of these? In his a-), before slumping on the right side of the bed.
You notice now the bright red stone hanging from a chain around his neck. How it glimmers under the soft amber light of the motel room. He looks up at you, raising an eyebrow as he gestures towards the bed,
"Not gonna bite, ya know- unless.. you're into that?"
He winks, and you groan, crossing the room before you toss off your own shitty jacket and shoes, slumping beside him. For a moment, everything seems perfectly normal - two grown adults slumped in a shitty motel bed next to each other. Neither you nor him say anything, choosing to remain silent as you both slump further into the deflated pillows as he turns the lights off.
Until you both turn to the middle, and suddenly you're hit with just how stunning he looks in the moonlight. How it hits his eyes perfectly, reflecting back a midnight sea, not quite light but not quite dark. A sea that - quite frankly - you'd love to swim i-
What were you thinking?
No, no you definitely weren't thinking that. Nor were you thinking of just how kissable his lips looked, as they softly parted, warm breath unintentionally fanning over your face. Or how his hair split down the middle so perfectly, framing his face in a way models could only dream of. And you definitely hadn't thought about how his strong arms could hold you against his chest, nor how he'd murmur into your ear throughout-
No!
Meanwhile, he was definitely not thinking of how pretty your eyes would look, batting up at him with that doe eyed look, begging him for more. Or how sweet you'd taste, under his tongue as he'd work mercilessly at you, through these awful hours of the night. He's definitely not got the image of your hands raking through his hair, tugging as he'd tease you, nor the sound of your voice pleading for him to-
It appears, then, that both you and Dante had a real conundrum on your hands.
You gulped, flipping over to face the window, and he reached an arm out, only to draw back, turning to face the door. Because of course, repression is the correct answer here, no?
That only lasted about an hour, though, given how both you and him awoke to the sounds of thunder rolling across the land. You jumped, almost in his arms, and were it not for his relfexes, perhaps you'd have pushed him out of the bed.
Instead, you find yourself in his lap, with his arms around you as he pulls you in, stroking your back comfortingly.
You should probably push him away, throw yourself over to the other side of the bed and sleep long enough for normal, regular, human hours to hit the day again.
But there's something comforting about him (and if we're being honest with each other, there's something else between you too), and you end up resting your head over his chest, your own arms wrapping over his.
His own eyebrows furrow as he looks down to you, his eyes almost pleading with you as you meet his gaze, softly whispering up to him,
"Please..?"
"Please what, pretty girl?"
You pout, whining and rolling his eyes. He only chuckles in response, his hand stroking through your hair before lifting your chin up to him. His lips almost brush yours, but he still holds back - teasing,
"…Don't make me say it.."
"Come on, Sweets.. use them pretty words.. know y'can~"
He's teasing you, taunting you as you whine again, shaking your head as his fingers brush your lips. You sigh, your body almost dropping onto his as you finally give in, mumbling first. He pretends not to hear, turning his ear towards you, and you lean up to whisper,
"…Kiss me?"
He barely waits for you to finish your request before pulling you (somehow) closer, his lips easily finding yours as he tilts your head to slot against his perfectly. It's needy, rough and passionate, as his tongue runs over your lip, begging to be let in. At the same time, he roams his hands along your body, pushing up under your shirt. He squeezes at your still clothed breasts, and you gasp, letting his tongue greedily explore your mouth.
His tongue studies each and every nook and corner of your mouth, all the while his hands make quick work of your shirt and bra, helping you shrug them off before tossing them across the room. And he finally pulls his lips away from yours, letting a long string of saliva dribble down between you as he presses his forehead against your own, the two of you left gasping and panting,
"Any more requests, my sweet lady?"
You giggle, and he almost melts into your voice, the sound one he could only describe as angelic (funny, for a half demon, half human, of course). If it were up to him, he'd record it, save it for his worst nights, when he was all alone, lying in bed as he'd languidly stroke his co-
Instead, he settles for locking it away in his mind palace, guarded heavily by, well, him! Saved for a rainy day, of course.
His hands move from your face, exploring your body once more as he lowers you down to the bed. With each touch that moves further down, his lips follow along, first nipping at your collarbone (leaving a pretty pattern across you of small, red bruises), dropping to your breasts - where he pauses, and looks back up at you,
"You say no now, gorgeous. Say no now, and I'll pull back, yeah? We'll pretend nothin' happened, 'kay?"
You barely even register what it is he's saying before he pulls back up to you, repeating himself in your ear. He's whispering so softly, so gently that you can't help but smile, before whipping your head round to look him in the eyes,
"Well, I'm not sayin no, Dante. Please? Wan- Need'ya, Dante.. pretty, pretty ple-!"
He cuts you off, lips finding yours again, before sloppily pressing kisses down your body. His lips latch on to one nipple, tugging and sucking as you arch your back further into his hands, which lower down to your pants as they swiftly unbuckle and remove them. You're lifting your hips to help him, all whilst his lips stay devotedly working at your chest. Before he fully pulls away, he leans back in to lightly nip at your breast, leaving small marks to remember him by before he moves to your other breast.
Your hands have long since found his hair, tugging on silvery strands with need and urgency as he only hums against your skin. Meanwhile, his hands smooth over your thighs, palming at the flesh and pulling down your panties. One hand presses over your clit, eliciting another gasp from your lips as he pulls his own away from you, admiring his work so far.
Your eyes are hazed over, only looking prettier under the pale moonlight as he lowers himself further, holding your thighs open with his hands. The cool air hits your folds and you immediately gasp, attempting to close your legs. His hands on your inner thighs stop you though, pressing you out and open, as he presses kisses down your stomach. Each kiss ignites and excites the fire in your belly, which only curls in and around. His lips finally find your clit, pressing one kiss before he dips down through your folds, his tongue gliding up through them, dragging your slick up to your clit. He pulls away again, only to look up at you,
"All this, baby? F'me?"
You whine again, and your hand finds his hair, pushing his head down into your folds again as he chuckles, his tongue curling around your bud as it studies you diligently, each swipe, lick and tug designed to specifically see what creates which reaction from you.
When he's finally pleased with what sounds you create, he uses those exact movements, licking up and around you just right, making you writhe and move under him.
Speaking of you, you're barely holding on, bucking your hips up and into his face as he works at you, his tongue merciless whilst you lose your mind trying to stay still for him. It doesn't help that your nearing your peak, rocking your hips up higher. His hands move from your inner thighs to the outside, gripping down into the plush of your thighs as you instinctively wrap them around his head, pulling him in closer.
He only grins, and you can feel it against your clit, as he starts making shapes with his tongue.
In fact, it takes you four repetitions of the same movements to realise he keeps drawing the word, 'MINE', over your clit, and the realisation itself may be what makes you finally cum, as you gush over his face, your body rippling forwards with a need unseen, unfelt before. He holds you captive throughout, continuing to work at your clit, before lowering to your folds, taking each and every drop down his mouth, never wasting nor ruining any of it.
You think you're ruined as it is, at his mercy as he laps up your slick, except he lifts his head again, his face coated in your slick. The sight itself has you wet again, as he lifts himself over you, his mouth meeting yours once more.
And dear Gods above, you can taste yourself on him. Your slick, coating his tongue, his lips, his face, as he drags his tongue across your lips and into your mouth. Fuck! You moan loudly into his mouth, which he only reciprocates by groaning back into yours. When he pulls back, he immediately takes on your neck, his lips and teeth dragging over it before he finds your sweet spot, at the very corner where your neck meets your shoulder. He bites softly first, and when you throw your head back - nails digging into his shoulders - he bites down more, before pulling your hips over his cock.
His thick, angry and very wet cock, all too happy to meet you. He rolls your folds over him, before thrusting up into you. Each inch that passes has you seeing stars, your nails digging in deeper. You can see in the mirror behind you how you draw blood from his skin, the sight only turning you on even more, red droplets strolling down his skin under the pale light of the moon.
He starts slow, rocking up into you with all the time in the world - except you're needy, and whiny, pulling your hips faster. To which he only tuts,
The sound of him cooing in your ear as he slows down his thrusts only aches you more. You find yourself trying to move your hips, trying to escape from his tight grip over them, except his hands only tighten more, creating marks on your skin. You cry out - from pleasure, or pain? You're not sure anymore, the pain dulling into soft pleasure as he chuckles again,
"Impatient little thing, are we? C'mon, now, lemme have ya, hmm?"
His pace doesn't quicken, torturingly slow as he lays your body down, pulling your legs up against your body. The change in position already has you seeing stars, and its only worsened by how perfectly he angles his hips up into you, his tip hitting parts of you no one had ever gotten close to before,
"Anyone else take y'like me, baby? Anyone even come close to me?"
"N-no! Fuck! No one, baby, no one!"
"Atta girl."
The praise goes straight to your head, before coiling in your stomach again, as he finally begins to quicken his pace, placing a hand over your stomach and pressing down, causing your back to arch upwards, flush against him again,
"Oooh, thaaaat's it pretty girl, feel me here, yeah? Y'feelin me, pretty?"
You're lost, incoherently babbling on as he buries his head into your neck, nipping at your skin as you chase your high. His lips tug at your skin, sucking and pulling feverently, and your hands dig into his arms, holding on for dear life. He finally snaps up into you, speeding up to the very pace you desired, manic as he fucks like a man starved. The only sounds echoing round the room are those sweet, yet so obscene sounds of skin slapping, your lewd moans and his unrestrained groans, as he murmurs so sweetly, yet so unholy into your ear again,
"There's my good girl, gonna cum f'me? Go on, you've earned it, waitin' so patiently, hmm?"
You feel yourself clench round hip, your walls wrapping round him as you finally climax. His words, or his movements? A mixture of both, as you find yourself entirely lost, your thoughts incoherent as all you need is him, him and how perfectly he fits you, how perfectly he fills you, how perfectly he stutters in you,
"Fuck! Ohhh, baby y'so tight like this, all f'me, huh? Fuck, y'suckin' me in like this.. Oh, I could stay forever in ya.."
The feeling of your walls wrapping round him, trapping him in their tight, vice-like grip has him cumming too, ropes and ropes painting, lining your walls, dribbling out over the barely open gaps. It feels like forever, the way he keeps cumming, and you take each and every drop, until he sighs, dropping over you and immediately peppering kisses over your tired, exhausted form. You only hum sweetly in response, far too fucked out to say, or do anything else,
"Did so well f'me, thank you baby.."
He stays buried in you a little longer, relishing in how perfect you feel around him, before slowly pulling out. Both you and him hiss from the loss, your thighs already aching with how much you miss him. As he lifts up off the bed, your hands chase him, tugging him back,
"Gotta clean y'up, princess. I'll be back, hmm?"
And true to his word, he returns with a soft, warm cloth, gently patting you down. Each pat is accompanied by a loving kiss, and when he's done, he presses another kiss to your forehead. He walks away yet again, cleaning himself up before returning with a glass of water, pressing it against your lips,
"C'mon, drink up, yeah?"
You follow his instructions, eagerly lapping up water from the glass before pulling away, contentedly sighing. He sips some water too, before sitting behind you on the bed, pulling you close to him. His head lowers into your neck, kissing where he left a mark, and his hands massage the very marks he left across your thighs, almost apologetic. Soon, you find yourself falling asleep to his loving ministrations.
The morning after, you stir, still in his arms from the night before. In the mirror, you can just about make out the faint marks across your chest, over what little of your thighs is exposed from the duvet and blush at the thought of the night before.
Speaking of, the dull ache between your thighs reminds you of each and every moment, and you find yourself lost once again, tracing empty patterns over his chest, his arms and pressing soft kisses to his neck. He stirs alongisde you, humming and wrapping his arms round your waist, pulling sweet gasps from you as he kisses you back,
"So, where do we go from here, hmm?"
"Home, Dante. Take me home."
Perhaps, somewhere, even a devil was capable of love.
xoxo, roe~
AHHHH i hope this was good idk how it reads ill be real i spent three days straight on this i hope the people enjoy it
Sooo what if Dante falls in love with Enzo’s pretty little niece who’s in town for a visit or for work? Like they have a little meet-cute when Enzo asks her to run an errand for him and instead runs into Dante? (Love your stuff!!🩵)
How to pick up a package, almost die and accidentally get a hot boyfriend: A beginner’s guide
Pairing: Dante x fem!reader
Word Count: 1,9k
Synopsis: All you had to do was pick up a package. Simple, right? Instead, you faceplant into a silver-haired menace, survive a monster attack and somehow leave with a date. Family errands have never been this dangerous - or this attractive.
Warnings: Dante isn't as flirty in this one (but still hilarious no worries), reader is a normal chick in this fic for once, apart from the usual, nothing to fear lol
My Dante request are still open so HIT ME UP
Enzo doesn’t give you much to go on.
"Pick up a package from Vito’s," he practically orders, short and impatient.
"Tell him it’s for me. In and out. No big deal. And don’t talk to anyone except Vito, got it?"
You don't even hesitate. You’re just visiting for a few weeks before returning back home - a favour for family sounds easy enough and never hurt nobody. After all, Enzo is your favourite uncle. Well, to be specific, he’s your only uncle. But still your favourite.
You dart around the area he described to you with no real aim. What are you even looking for? A supermarket, a gun shop? Given Enzo’s shady business, nothing is impossible.
After what feels like an eternity, you finally spot it. The shop's tucked between two boarded-up buildings, the neon sign crackling like it’s one cough away from dying. You hesitate only a second before pushing inside. Oh, hopefully this doesn’t mean trouble. Your uncle wouldn’t send you straight into danger after all…
Right?
The bell overhead gives a tired rattle.
And before you’re really able to focus on anything inside, you slam into him.
Tall, solid, wild white hair falling into light, piercing eyes. Blue? Silver? You can’t tell, and honestly, you’re too busy trying to remember how to breathe.
"Easy, princess," he drawls, a rough little laugh curling out of him as he catches your elbow before you hit the ground.
You flush, muttering something like an apology. No, no, no. As if running someone over isn’t worse enough, why does he have to be this handsome?
He doesn’t let go right away, his touch lingering around your arm just a few seconds to long.
His gaze slides down you. Not rude, not predatory, just… curious. Focused. Like he’s cataloging you, every detail.
You pull yourself together enough to finally speak up, force your body to finally cooperate again.
"I’m just picking something up. For my uncle. Enzo. Are you Vito, by any chance?"
You idiot. As if some random guy in a shop named Vito’s would know your uncle. As if this man looks like someone named Vito.
And yet, his expression shifts the second you say the name. Subtle. You wouldn’t catch it if you weren’t still embarrassingly focused on him.
"Enzo, huh," he comments, voice dipping a little lower.
"Didn’t know he had family. Why did he send someone like you here?"
You shrug awkward, caught completely off-guard again. Why on earth does your uncle know men like him? And why are you still single if he does?
"Just visiting. I’m not, uh… part of anything."
You mean business. You mean the shady stuff you know Enzo keeps quiet about. Not that you know what it is, exactly. To be honest, you really don’t want to. But
He smiles at your clumsy words - slow, almost dangerous. Like he knows exactly how little you actually know, like he knows all too well what “anything” means.
What a cute little thing you are.
"Yeah," he murmurs, his thumb brushing absently against the crook of your elbow before he finally lets go.
"You don't look like you are."
The way he says it sends a shiver down your spine. You can’t tell if it’s a warning or a compliment. Maybe both. Or maybe nothing at all.
You clear your throat, trying to shake it off. Focus. You aren’t 12 anymore, that guy isn’t Gojo Satoru. Talking to handsome guys might not be your daily business, but to get this flustered by it is still embarrassing.
"So, uh… you work here?"
The laugh that bursts out of him is genuine, rough and amused.
"Hell no," he replies casually.
"Just passing through. Like you. What’s your name, by the way?"
“(y/n). And…yours?”
“Huh, nice to meet ya. It’s Dante for you.”
You nod, fiddling nervously with the strap of your bag. Dante…not a name you’ve heard that often until now. Does it suit him? You eye him up and down as subtle as possible, catch a glimpse of his tones upper body and wild eyes. Oh, it definitely does.
"Right. Cool. Well. I’ll just-"
Before you can finish, a low, almost vibrating sound rumbles through the shop.
Your heart drops to the floor.
Not a machine.
Something alive.
The easy-going tilt of Dante's body sharpens instantly. His hand is already moving toward the weapon slung across his back you haven’t even noticed before you have the chance to realize something's wrong.
"Get behind me," he mutters, stepping between you and the shadows gathering near the back wall.
"Wait, what-?"
Fuck.
Fuck fuck fuck. That sounds exactly like the shady business, like you should have never been here in the first place. What are you supposed to do? Run? Hide? Stay behind Dante? Get away from him as far as possible? Your mind races back and forth, stiff body not able to move a single inch.
And then they lurch into the light, creatures that should not exist, and the room explodes into chaos.
You barely manage to scramble behind a rack of rusted car parts as Dante moves.
He fights like a storm. Fast, wild, beautiful in a way that’s terrifying. His sword sings through the air, cutting down the creatures one by one.
You can't look away.
Not from the monsters.
Not from him.
When the last body hits the floor within what feels like the blink of an eye, smoking and twitching, he straightens, breathing steady like he just finished a jog, not a slaughter.
What.
The.
Hell.
He turns, catching you staring.
"You okay, sweetheart?" he questions, and this time the nickname lands softer, even gentle, as if he didn’t go berserk a few seconds ago.
You nod, because your voice is lost somewhere back by the register, back where you came from.
Dante crosses the ruined shop in a few strides, reaching out his hand again. This time, when you take it, your fingers curl instinctively into his, shaking by the aftermath of what just happened.
You didn’t even register what was going on. That creatures just destroyed the shop and that stranger, that handsome stranger named Dante, slaughtered them like a turkey at Thanksgiving. What on earth was that?
"C'mon," he urges, voice low and rough with something you can't name while softly pushing you back onto your wobbly feet.
"Let's get you outta here."
The walk back is quieter, but not awkward. Well, at least not as awkward as it should be, given the scene from earlier.
Every few steps, Dante’s hand brushes against yours like he’s checking you’re still there.
You sneak glances at him, trying to fit the man you just met with the man who just tore monsters apart like it was nothing.
"You’re... not exactly normal, are you?" you ask finally.
He huffs a laugh.
"Depends who you ask."
"And those things-?"
"Pests," he explains briefly, smirking sideways at you.
"Wrong place, wrong time."
You squint your eyes while tilting your head. Pests, seriously?
"Pests don’t usually have that many teeth."
He chuckles again, slow and warm, and without thinking about it, he slings his arm around your shoulders.
You freeze for half a second. This came so sudden, so out of the blue that you can’t help but shamelessly stare at him with big eyes. After all the things you just saw, after it is more than clear that this man isn’t just a friendly neighbour from next door while you’re nothing but an ordinary woman, he still cares about you?'
At the moment, none of this matters. Before you can convince yourself otherwise, you lean into him, because it feels weirdly natural. Like you fit there. Like this is somehow where you belong. Like this is where you should be.
It has to be the white hair. It’s always the white hair.
By the time you reach Enzo’s assaulted front step, you're tucked snug against Dante’s side, his hand draped lazily along your jacket as you still hold onto him for what feels like dear life. Getting comforted by a handsome stranger after almost dying definitely wasn’t on your bingo card for today. That doesn’t mean you don’t enjoy it, though.
He rings the bell with a cocky little smile.
“That’s gonna be fun.”
When Enzo opens the door, he stops cold, taking in the two of you - your bright, nervous smile, Dante’s possessive arm, the wrecked look in your eyes that says you’ve seen way more than you were supposed to.
Dante grins lazily.
"Special delivery," he announces proudly.
Enzo’s eyes narrow like a threat he’s definitely going to make, taking a step back before inspecting your body carefully.
“Did you get hurt?”
“No, but if it wasn’t for Dante, I might be death by now. I owe him my life.”
“The only thing you owe me is a date, sweetheart. Can you believe I met your niece? You never told me you have one!”
Uncle Enzo doesn’t answer. The second you disappear inside - still shaken, still clueless - Enzo grabs Dante by the arm and drags him onto the porch.
"You’re outta your damn mind," Enzo hisses, voice low but furious.
"She’s not part of this world."
Dante smirks, unbothered, dragging a toothpick from his pocket and slipping it between his teeth.
"Yeah?" he says lazily.
"Seems like the world found her anyway. And by world, I include myself too. What a cute little thing she is. Never thought your relatives could look like…this."
Enzo steps closer, jabbing a finger into Dante’s chest.
"Stay away from her. She's not built for this. She’s not-"
He cuts off, running a hand through his thinning hair, suddenly looking a hell of a lot older.
"She’s just a kid, Dante. A good one. Innocent. Don’t ruin her."
Dante’s face shifts.
For a second, just a second, the mask cracks - and you see something fierce and guilty flicker in his pale eyes.
He bites down on the toothpick harder.
"I know," he mutters, voice low.
And because you’re standing just inside the door, because you heard the whole damn thing, you press your back to the wall, heart pounding, not sure whether you want to run away from him...
...or straight toward him.
The door creaks under your weight, giving you away with a loud squeak.
Dante's head snaps toward the sound, a slow grin spreading across his mouth like a sunrise.
Enzo groans like a man being personally victimized by the universe.
"Shit," you blurt, caught red-handed even though you try desperately to escape last-minute.
"Well, well," Dante drawls, stepping back inside like he owns the place, that cocky swagger back in full force.
"How much of that did you hear, princess?"
You lift your chin defiantly, cheeks burning.
"Enough to know you called me cute."
Dante winks, completely unrepentant.
"That I did. You gonna sue me, sweetheart?"
You open your mouth –
and absolutely nothing comes out except an embarrassing, flustered squeak.
Enzo watches the two of you like he’s witnessing a car crash in slow motion.
"I swear to God," he mutters under his breath, rubbing his temples like he can already feel the headache brewing, "if you two idiots start dating, I’m moving to Alaska."
"I like Alaska," you comment brightly, before your brain catches up with your mouth.
Dante snorts, delighted.
"See? She’s got good taste. First me, now Alaska."
"That’s it. I’m getting the shotgun," Enzo grumbles, stomping toward the kitchen.
You and Dante just grin at each other like you're already plotting how to make everything worse.
Im not back from break yet but i did revisit a short lil fic i wrote a month ago.. its not amazing (i am by no means a writer) but i like it lol
~ Conversations With a Dear Friend ~
- a dante angst fic (dantes got abandonment issues) -
"Its been a few days since the ceremony." The young man states, staring at the tombstone. A gentle breeze plays with his blue curls.
"I known Its kind of silly but im still holding on to hope that you and the others will come walking out of the forest." A soft smile decorates his face for a moment as he looks up toward the sky, sun glaring into his eyes, the heat dancing on his skin before the breeze blows it away.
"Aph..." He blinks tears from his eyes "im lost." He curses himself for almost crying out in the open like this. If hes whats left he has to stay strong. He cant be weak.
"Everyone is lost. We dont know what to do, we dont even know where to start. How the hell did you do it all on your own?" He pauses as if awaiting an answer. The longer it goes the more tears come to threaten him. It grows only worse as the silence gives him time to think of every conversation. Every "quick chat" that lasted hours and hours. The silence hurts. But talking hurts too.
"I should get going. i have a lot to get done today, your shoes sure arent easy to fill." He stands far longer than he should, hesitation obvious in his stature. "I love you... and i miss you. I wish i couldve said goodbye." A pause as he begins to cry, no longer worried about people seeing him. He doesnt care anymore. If talking causes tears its still better than the deadly lack of sound. Even if his voice is barely a whisper. Even if people see him cry. Even if hes saying things that hurt worse than death.
"..I wish i couldve known id lose my sister too." Silence. Harsh silence. He hadn't meant to say that. It barely went through his mind before leaving his lips. He looks for confort but hes alone. Fully alone. It seems that even the breeze has abandoned him to his solitude. Its as if irene herself wants him to know how lonely he is.
He stands still looking to the flowers beside him, holing for confort but the tombstone stares at him. It bores into his skin, pushing him further and further as he stands still. The gentle sun now scolding hot, his skin melting to lava. The breeze now a harsh wind, tossing and turning him in every direction. And yet nothing has changed. Its all peculiarly the same. Yet so different.
So lonely. So severely and painfully lonely. Now that he thinks about it he hasnt really felt this way since.. since Gene. Oh. Oh irene no. Oh my beloved, benevolent, merciful, Irene please help. Save this poor boy. He can't do this alone. All his friends and family are gone, they've all left him behind.
It all feels like some sick joke. Some twisted and hateful joke. Only wishing to hurt him. To push him too far. To nearly kill him.
"Goodbye"
He can barely even whisper it out. Despite the desperation for more to be said the word feels final. Like its the last time. Like hes finally began excepting his own tragedy.
This young man. This child. Tired, lonely, and drowning under the weight of those who left him. Abandoned him. Hes been forced to except the truth. The truth that he is alone. He is alone and without salvation.
The voicemail started before she hit the corner of Southridge and 7th — where the lights always blinked half a beat off rhythm, like the city itself was trying not to be caught watching her.
“Hey, Indie. I know you hate voicemails, which is why I left one. You can't ghost me if it's already playing.” His voice filtered through the earbuds in her hood — velvet and gravel, cigarette-wrapped and grinning. She didn't roll her eyes, but it was close.
"Got a thing. One of those things I can't shoot, so I figured I'd let you decrypt its soul or whatever it is you do. You know, the spooky brain stuff. Bring pizza if you're feeling nice. Or don't — not sure if you're capable of the whole nice thing."
The song bleeding in the background caught her ear — synth-heavy, unmistakably Poison. Her lip curled.
“And don't give me shit about the music. It's a classic.”
Click.
She exhaled through her nose. "If I hear 'Every Rose Has Its Thorn' one more time," she muttered, “I'm setting the jukebox on fire. With you in it.” She moved like shadow and leather — a sin in motion.
Low-slung cargo pants fastened with silver clasps, black fabric pooling over combat boots worn down by holy places and hellholes. Her top was sculpted with militant grace, straps twisting over her ribs like silk-strangled prophecy, her arms sheathed in battle worn gloves laced to the elbow, the threads fraying just so. A hood crowned short, dark curls, falling low over dark lashes that didn't blink enough. The mask covered half her face — black and form-fitting — but her eyes? Electric. Unreadable.
Everything about her said:
Do not approach unless you know your own sins by name.
The pizza box in her hand was the only human thing about her. She paused just outside the Devil May Cry office — narrow building, flickering sign, paint still chipped from the last demon that tried to scratch its name into the door.
The smell hit her first. Gun oil. Cheap cologne. Memory.
With one gloved finger, she tapped the comm beside the entrance.
"Tell me you're not still playing that song."
There was a long pause.
Then his voice again, rougher this time, barely holding back a smirk.
"Would you have come if I wasn't?"
She pulled down her mask with a sigh that could cut glass. "You called and texted. And let me guess—" She held up the pizza box. "You knew I was walking past Gino's."
The door buzzed open. Her boots hit the floor like punctuation. Dante was waiting in the main room, lounging against his desk with the casual posture of someone who could kill ten things before finishing his drink. Shirt half-buttoned, Devil Trigger barely asleep behind his eyes, Rebellion propped up beside the jukebox.
The jukebox, which was still playing Poison.
She shoved the pizza into his chest.
"You owe me," she said, tone flat, eyes sharp.
Then a wink, a flash of flirtation that reignited that frustrating sparkle in Dante's eyes.
And just like that, she was scowling again, stepping past him to drop her rig bag onto the worktable without a glance. He watched her move like a man who'd just seen something sacred.
"Eyes up, Sparda," she warned, voice like static honey.
He laughed — low, warm, delighted. "I am looking up."
The screen on her wrist lit up with the signature she came to decrypt. The mark on her neck flared quietly, like it knew something she didn't. The object was no bigger than a deck of cards, slick with circuitry and symbols that pulsed like veins beneath its surface.
It sat on the desk like a wound waiting to open.
Indra unzipped her rig bag with precision, pulling out a modular keyboard that unfolded like a weapon. Her gloved fingers moved fast — delicate, mechanical — already bypassing the surface encryption as if the device were too slow to be worth her time.
She slid the mask fully down around her neck, exhaling like it tasted better without it.
The room shifted.
Dante's posture didn't change, not perceptibly. But his eyes did — flickering from the artifact to her exposed lips, the flush of her cheek still warm from the rain. He tilted his head like he wasn't staring. Like he wasn't already cataloging the way her lashes cast shadows on her cheekbones.
"You know," he said, voice too casual, "if I'd known you looked that good under the mask, I would've pissed you off a lot sooner."
She didn't look up. Just arched a single brow and typed faster.
"Keep talking like that," she murmured, "and I'll choke you with it."
Dante grinned, one of those low-burn things that made it all the way to his eyes. He turned to the pizza — avoiding the heat in the air like it might brand him if he let it linger.
"Kinky," he said through a bite. "Noted."
On the desk, her screen glitched.
The Enochian script began to unspool — not clean lines, but stuttering glyphs that rearranged themselves mid-character, as if the text knew it was being watched. The artifact pulsed once. A low sound hummed in the base of the room — not from speakers, but from the walls themselves.
Indra didn't flinch. She flipped open an ancient tome with one hand — the leather cover cracked and curling like it had been flayed off something alive. She balanced the reference page against the corrupted data feed, eyes scanning both at once.
Her fingers never stopped moving.
"It's written in mirrored Enochian," she muttered. "Modified. Layered. They encoded it inside a liturgical structure. I've seen this before..."
Dante didn't pretend to understand. He just watched her work — legs kicked up on the desk she was using, slice of pizza in hand like it was an offering to the gods of apathy. He took another bite, chewing thoughtfully.
"You want some?"
Without looking up, she reached over and shoved his boots off the table — a smooth, practiced motion that said you knew better.
His feet hit the floor with a satisfying thud. "That's a no," he said, licking his fingers. "You're mean when you're decoding forbidden scripture. I like it."
Her smile wasn't visible, not fully — but the corner of her mouth lifted, barely, the curve tucked behind the wild fall of loose curls. She kept her eyes on the screen.
"You owe me a bottle of tequila if this melts my rig."
"Noted," he said again, voice lower now. Watching her like he'd say more — if he wasn't already saying too much just by staying quiet.
The glyphs suddenly restructured.
A full sentence snapped into place across her screen in blood-red typeface,
burned onto the interface like branded flesh:
She froze. The lights dimmed.
And somewhere inside the relic —
something moved.
The screen stilled.
The Enochian froze in place, no longer shifting — just one phrase burning across the interface in a red that wasn't digital. It looked... wet. Fresh. Still steaming from a source unseen.
It began the way old machines warn you they're dying — quietly.
A hum. Soft. Subtle. Insidious.
The kind of warning you don't hear so much as feel — a whisper beneath the skin. A phantom throb at the base of her neck where the mark slept, inked in a language too old to be written, too cursed to be spoken.
Indra didn't react at first. Just a breath—small, precise, sharp as a scalpel pulled through silence.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, lashes casting crescent shadows across cheekbones drawn tight with restraint. A single inhale through her nose. Not panic. Preparation. Her gloved hand rose with mechanical elegance, brushing over the back of her neck like a woman trying to ease a phantom itch. But her fingers hesitated over the skin. Hovered. Pressed.
The second pulse came harder. Hotter.
Not warmth. Not pressure.
Pain.
It sank into her like something searching for home — crawling in reverse along her spine, coiling beneath nerves, digging deeper with every heartbeat.
Not a blade. Something worse.
A script rewritten.
A name remembered.
It felt like someone was carving directly into the back of her skull — not slicing, not sawing, but etching. With knowledge. With permission. The kind of pain that isn't asking for consent. The kind that's already inside. She clenched her teeth so hard her jaw trembled. Not a sound escaped. But her hands betrayed her — twitching over the keyboard as the tremor began, quiet as a prelude.
" Indie? "
Dante's voice drifted across the room, casual at first, half-occupied with wiping grease off his fingers using the inside hem of his coat. But his head turned just in time to catch the hard swallow. The tightening of her throat. The glint of sweat ghosting her temple like a warning flare.
He looked up. Caught it. A thick swallow.
Her jaw, locked.
The way she was holding something in — something red and sacred and screaming.
The tremor spread.
From her fingers to her forearm. A chain reaction beneath her skin, fraying muscle memory as her hand dropped from the keyboard. The other hovered mid-air, reaching — hesitating, like it had forgotten what reaching meant. The other rose — as if to reach out — then froze mid-air, unsure what reaching meant anymore. She blinked, slow, like someone trying to remember how to breathe underwater.
"Shit," the word rasped out low and cracked —
an exhale dragged through grit.
Her knees bent, the strength in them evaporating as the desk became her anchor. Both palms pressed flat now, bracing. Her breath came shallow.
Controlled.
Too controlled.
" Indra. "
Dante's voice shifted — quieter now. No warmth. Sharper. Every syllable honed like a blade unsheathed beneath candlelight.
She didn't answer. Because the pain was moving.
Behind her eyes now — a static hum dressed in flame.
And behind that? Voices.
Not words. Not yet. Just pressure. Just presence.
Like a crowd gathering behind the veil of her consciousness, faceless and expectant.
Then —
One word.
" Open. "
It landed behind her eyes like a blade driven with purpose.
Clean. Absolute. Her body seized.
Her spine arched, tendons drawn tight as bowstrings, legs folding beneath her as the world tilted. Vision overtook her like a flood breaking a dam —sudden and cruel, impossible to hold back. Her fingers clawed at the desk, but the tremor had won; the edge of the wood seemed to lunge for her temple.
Dante was already there.
He moved like a thunderclap.
No hesitation. No flourish. Just presence. One arm wrapped around her ribs, the other catching her head an inch before it met the sharp edge of the desk. Her body curled into his like a live wire into grounding metal. His breath was at her temple now. His voice stayed low. Steady.
" Got you. "
She convulsed once — small, sharp. Enough to make her bones feel brittle. Enough to feel everything tighten inside her like something trying to escape.
Her lips parted, but no words came. Just a hiss — pain escaping like steam from a sealed wound.
His coat smelled of smoke and sweat and something iron-rich — like the echo of a battlefield remembered through cloth. His arms held her gently but firmly, like he was used to keeping things from shattering.
"You're okay," he whispered.
She wasn't. And he knew it.
But he said it anyway, because that's what you do when gods start waking up in your favorite people.
Then — a sound. Low. Mechanical. Wrong.
Behind them, the relic groaned. Not just a hum. Not just a shift. A growl. A metallic scrape that didn't belong in this world — not audio, not human. Dante's eyes snapped up, narrowing into the kind of stare that could quiet devils.
"Okay," he muttered, voice flat with insult.
"Now you're just being rude."
With impossible gentleness, he lowered Indra into the chair she'd collapsed beside, her limbs still twitching in the aftershock. She looked like a wire mid-snap, straining not to coil inward.
Then he stood.
And everything about him changed.
Stillness washed over him like smoke drawn back into a cigarette. His spine straightened. One hand reached behind his back, easy. Familiar. The other cracked his neck, the sound sharp and deliberate.
And then — like a violinist setting his fingers to string,
like a killer smiling in the mirror —
his hand curled around the hilt of Rebellion.
"You wanna play?" his voice velvet and venom all at once.
The mark burns.
The demons whisper.
And he calls her baby like it won't kill them both.
The mark wasn't supposed to mean anything.
But it burns. And when it burns, she dreams —
in code, in blood, in voices that have no mouths.
Indra Malhora is a vessel born from an unholy alliance between human and devil-kind. A hacker. A hunter. A glitch in the prophecy. She's spent her life breaking demonic encryption, dodging cultists in priest's robes, and pretending her visions aren't tearing her apart from the inside out.
But when a corrupted relic unleashes something unspeakable into the human world — and the Enochian Order starts bleeding through the cracks — Indra is forced to team up with the last person she wants to want:
Dante. Half-devil. All trouble.
He's cocky, chaotic, infuriatingly attractive — and every time he looks at her, she forgets the mission long enough to remember she's still got a pulse. Together, they'll chase hell across neon-drenched cities and ruined sanctuaries, decrypt forbidden scripture, trade bullets and banter, and maybe save the world from collapsing into flame.
But prophecy has a way of biting back.
And the mark on her neck?
It's not done with her yet.
Blood will code. Love will glitch.
And heaven help whoever tries to stand between her and the truth.
