The DMC boys and choccies
So I was chatting to @miriashikin a lil’ bit last night, and she drops this little nugget right into my lap:
I’ve never done a batch of HCs before in my life, so I hope this is the sort of thing you were looking for, Miria!! ;A; So without further ado:
Dante
Honestly isn't picky. That's probably just a result of being broke all the time though.
The only kind he absolutely abhors is turkish delight. You keep that away from him.
Other than that, he'll try pretty much anything once, but you really can't go wrong with a good good ol' milk chocolate. The smoother the better.
He says it's all the better to lick off you with.
He's that guy who's melting an entire block of milk chocolate to pair with a punnet of strawberries.
He has to ask you to melt it though, because he somehow always gets the chocolate to seize. Everytime.
"You got it wet." "I'm not even anywhere near water!!"
Double dips
Triple dips
He's also that guy who'll pick up a block and just… bite right into it. Breaking it up into the already portioned bite-sized little squares? Nah, miss him with that. If you want some, you gotta take a chunk out of it with your choppers. That's how things roll in the Sparda household.
Nobody tell Vergil he said that.
The most prone to trying out the more interesting chocolates. He's not a fan of spice in the least, but that kind that's infused with chilli? Hell yeah baybee. It has goats cheese in it? Lmao yolo. Vegemite? You're toeing the line, but he'll try a piece.
Because honestly? He just likes being able to spend time with you.
Vergil
Not really into the heavy dark chocolates like some think. 70% (65% is that sweet spot) is his absolute limit because don't tell anybody this, buuuuuuut Vergil actually does have a bit of a sweet tooth.
He's very sensible about it though, doesn't tend to go overboard, and generally likes to pair something sweet with something that cleanses the palate afterwards.
He's a fan of all things peppermint
Yes, even gotdamn toothpaste.
Maybe that's why he takes forever to brush his teeth???
He just enjoys the cool, refreshing bite that mint has to it.
And I mean it also smells divine.
But as far as chocolate goes, give this boy some mint chocolate.
He'll even be happy with Aero.
He does understand that variety is important though.
So as a back up, bring in the white chocolate.
But it absolutely CANNOT be the gross, cheap, waxy kind.
You know the sort right? The kind that just feels and tastes like you're biting into a chunk of solid fat? That's a nono.
Bring him the Good Stuff. The kind you head to a chocolatier for. If it melts in his mouth, he will melt in your hands.
Although to be fair, if you get him at the right time, he does that anyway *wink wonk*
Nero
CARAMEL.
Ooey gooey caramel filling? Hidden salted caramel chunks to surprise him on every bite? SALTED CARAMEL OOEY GOOEY FILLING?
That's how Nero do.
Tangentially relevant: y'all know that Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavour right? Triple Caramel Chunk?
It has everything he likes in one convenient package - a rare indulgence for him whenever they can spare the money for it.
Really though, caramel is the fastest way to his heart.
But other avenues exist.
He sorta takes after his uncle… ya know, by virtue of the fact he's known Dante a bit longer.
Having a similar carefree attitude means he's open to trying out different kinds of choccies.
Nico tried to get him to try tobacco chocolate before though…
Needless to say, that's where he draws the line.
Has a tendency to complain about unusual combinations until they end up in his mouth.
"Who the hell thinks of this stuff?"
"........huh. Well then."
The weirdest kind he's tried is shiitake mushroom chocolate.
