Mercury casually whistled a low tune as he entered the shop. "One special delivery," he announced, the corner of his lips turning upward into a smirk. "Though, I'm sure you saw me comin'."

"I didn't hear you come in." (To Adam, and we're back in the freaking building again--)

@zephyr-iffic (WE'RE BACK IN THE BUILDING AGAIN--)

A soft laugh escaped Adam, the corner of his lips turned upward as he approached Zephyr. It was only natural for him to be silent in his movements, yet old habit die hard it seemed.

"My apologies... I hope I didn't startle you."

A swirling portal opened in front of the swordsman, with Zephyr walking through. His body was bloodied, with torn clothes and exhaustion weighing down each movement. In his hands, however, were not the halves of Tailwind but a pair of demonic bladed fans. "I won't hold you back anymore." He remarked, eyes ablaze with his magic as the portal closed behind him.

Normally, Vergil wasn't one to worry about Zephyr, but something felt off as minutes turned into hours. He began to pace restlessly, debating on calling Dante or whoever might be at Devil May Cry at this hour just to see if his fiancé was safe. He felt the spark of magic before he saw the portal, relief instantly washing over him like a tidal wave.

That relief quickly faded away as his blue eyes went wide. "Zephyr? What happened to you?"

He stepped forward to grasp the witch by the shoulders, just then looking down to notice the bladed fans in the other's hands. He clenched his jaw, the muscles in in cheeks jumping.

"Zephyr... What did you do?"

[lostsonofsparda]

The witch stared up at the stars as he snuggled into the swordsman, the cool air settling around them. After talk of what-ifs and the ramifications of what they've done, he simply parted his lips to speak. "I'd keep you safe."

Since the dust had settled, Vergil was given the proper time to reflect upon the life he led until this point. Spending time with Zephyr and his own family made him realize what he had been missing, knowing full well that there was nothing he could do to change the past.

He turned his head to face his lover, expression softening. A soft sigh escaped him as he brushed his fingers through the witch's hair.

"I know you would...but you would also make yourself a target. Would you truly be content with living that kind of life?"

[lostsonofsparda]

"I don't think I could survive losing you again." The words are quiet, the smallest of cracks in the dam Zephyr had tried so hard to reinforce.

Vergil feels the words in his soul, a weight upon his heart as he looks at Zephyr. His expression softens as he takes the witch's hand and squeezes, the magic between them pulsing.

"You will not lose me," he says, voice barely above a whisper. "Should I ever be banished to the depths of Hell time and time again, I will fight to come back home to you. I will not lose myself again..."

An echo of his demonic aura awakens, eyes glowing a light, icy blue. "I made a promise, and I intend to keep it."

"Chivalry is overrated, get in my bed."

STAYING THE NIGHT PROMPTS @zephyr-iffic

A soft laugh slips from the swordsman, jacket already slipping from his shoulders.

"No need to tell me twice..."

He pulls Zephyr closer, lips crashing in a heated kiss as he allows all of his emotion to burst forth once more. He then lifts the witch and carries him to the bedroom, lips already moving down Zephyr's jaw to his ear, wanting so desperately to those sounds from his lover.

"You deserve better than me."

A soft laugh escaped Sam. "I should be the one saying that... Hey, look at me."

He gently placed a finger underneath Zephyr's chin and tilted his head back to meet his gaze. The swordsman's expression was soft, but his brown eyes held a firm seriousness in them that was rare.

"I wouldn't still be around if I thought I could find something better. For better or worse, you're stuck with me." A smile graced his lips. "And I wouldn't have it any other way."

send 🫂 for three useless headcanons I have about our muses

Blazer is curious as to what all Zephyr can do with his powers, being a fan of super heroes until she gained the amulet + it's powers, Blazer is always overly invested in what else everyone is capable of. However, she knows sometimes people don't want to be pried about their abilities on the off-chance she's looking for a weakness/loop hole. And powers don't exactly come up as water cooler talk, so she is briming with barely restrained curiosity.

Understands that office life is stressful, but wishes Zephyr wouldn't take it out on the office equipment, namely the copier and printer combo...it's new.

Would easily be enthralled by his 'old magician tricks'. Kid at heart, golden retriever woman, whichever description you think fits Blazer/Mandy best.
