hikaru x yoshiki x reader where we broke our foot while running from impurities now they stay at home with us as company while we recover🙏🏾🙏🏾
HELP OR HELL
(disclaimer it is so occ and things are randomly happening 😭🥀)
"Does it hurt?" Hikaru ask innocently as you directed Yoshiki where first aid was,"Oh no~I just like to be in centre of attention." You replied, your voice mix with sarcasm and annoyance as Hikaru pout at your words and tone.
"You don't have to be mean." Yoshiki said as he brought wet cloth to clean the injured foot,"Didn't she asked for first aid?" Hikaru enquire as Yoshiki replied it was important to clean wound first.
"Go bring the first aid." Yoshiki told Hikaru as he noticed Hikaru was feeling left out in the situation.
He agreed and move towards first aid with excitement,"Aren't you a kind soul?" You commented as Yoshiki didn't move and just replied─he didn't know what were you trying to say.
Before you can comment on his soft nature towards Hikaru, the white haired boy appear with the red box.
"Doctor Hikaru to the help!"
When he talked like that it was easy to forget that it was merely a monster inside Hikaru's boy; it's like Hikaru never died.
"As he should. You were the reason we were chased by impurity anyways." Yoshiki notice you have been way more aggressive on Hikaru than usual although he understands─in all the chaos you were the one that got ankle twisted and knees scrapped.
"I didn't do that on purpose. I thought I could absorb it but it was far more strong than my capacity." He explained but you simply just turn your head away─indicating you couldn't care less about his explanation.
"Your family is out of town for the week, right?" Yoshiki question as he finish wrapping your ankle while Hikaru was childishly applying medical cream on your knees; by blowing on them.
"What is it? Soup!" You roll your eyes at Hikaru, who belittle you for not appreciating his efforts.
"Yeah. So it's gonna be just me. Me who can't even move now." You replied to Yoshiki's question from earlier while Hikaru was still speaking.
"Should one of us take you home then?"
"I am not leaving my house plus even if I wanted to go, I would just go with you. He is definitely not a choice." You pointed at Hikaru who just poke tongue at you,"Who said I even wanted to take you?"
Before you and Hikaru could start to argue again, Yoshiki did the announcement,"We are staying with you until you get better." You cross your arm, knowing while you didn't want them to stay─you got no option either meanwhile Hikaru was beaming,"Yayy sleepover!" He jumped,"It is not." You stated as Hikaru replied how boring you were.
"Don't cause any trouble Hikaru, I will try to return soon."
So this was the plan─both Hikaru and Yoshiki will go to their respective house one at the time and return after getting refresh and telling their family they are out for the night and first one to go was Yoshiki while Hikaru was supposed to take care of you.
"Just go now, you are starting to sound like (name) now."
Hikaru waved him off at front door then start to walk towards the room while holding your arm around his neck,"Why do you even need to come? I could have send him on my own." Hikaru complained, feeling the weight of your body as you said something in response but that didn't catch Yoshiki's ears.
"Ahh bring my clothes too! I am not gonna sit here in this sinky uniform─bring some water and cloth too so I can clean myself too!"
Hikaru had to stop himself from literally sighing. You are so bossy and so much different from the Hikaru's memories.
"W-what kind of memories?" Hikaru noticed your face was suddenly coloured red when he mentioned about Hikaru's memories. He wondered if there was any specific embarassing moment Hikaru had witnessed.
"Well what kind of memories are you referring to?~" Hikaru said with a smirk as you opened your mouth to say something but stopped and just turn away your face,"Just do what I said damnit!"
Hikaru poke out the tongue although he did what you asked him to, he was obedient guy. He was funny and annoying too. Just like real Hikaru.
"What are you waiting for? Get out now."
You were about to pull up your shirt but then realise white hair boy was still in the room.
"Ain't I suppose to help you?"
"I can do this much on my own! Plus it's embarassing if someone stares at your body."
"But I ain't someone, I something." He said casually though you felt it was be kind of sensitive to say out loud,"Don't say something like that infront of Yoshiki." You commented as Hikaru tilt his head in confusion. Yoshiki knew about his true form, heck he even touched it! Plus he thought this was a funny statement.
"Whaaaat you want this to be me and you thing only?" He lean in, realising you didn't pass any personal remarks─only for Yoshiki─which was weird considering how out spoken you was were with your opinions.
You knew this wasn't real Hikaru. He was gone long. This body was only a coverup for the monster but why then your breath hitched when he lean and felt blood rushing to your cheeks.
You pushed his face away. One could see it was out of shyness but for Hikaru it was your usual , 'annoyed at him' response.
"I am facing the wall. Just tell me when you are done."
You wanted him out of room but you didn't felt like speaking to him. Your feeling made you feel complicated. You were so normal just right now. Why that thing has to brought out memories of Hikaru and just have the body of Hikaru in general.
He heard a loud crash on the ground and quickly turn and reach towards you when he saw you whining in pain; in your casual clothes now.
"What happened? Ya all right?" He wrapped his arms around your body and pulled you off the ground─currently in sitting position.
"Argh! Nothing. I was just trying to wear my lower half in one swift."
"You should have just called me."
"Of course I couldn't!"
You strech his cheeks. Feeling annoyed how casually he keep on suggesting that.
"Can you stop this?" He tried to pull his face out of your reach (which was kinda impossible). You eventually stopped and just lean on him for comfort,"Why are you so mean to me? You are never this mean to Yoshiki. Hell you weren't even mean to Hikaru." He cried with a pout which you kinda find cute,"Well that's my choice! Why you jealous?" You snickered but Hikaru's next response made your heart flutter (just a little bit!)
"Yeah I am. I am so jealous of Yoshiki. I am so jealous of Hikaru, who gotta enjoy your soft side while you are just mean to me."
You weren't mean to this Hikaru out of malice or anything─you just felt like if it wasn't real Hikaru why to be extra sweet. . . . it's not like your sweetness could be reciprocate or so you thought.
"I am back." Yoshiki announced as he randomly opened the door of the room, you and Hikaru was in─startling you who pushed the Hikaru aside.
"What's even happening here?" He sighed, probably thinking of any scenario where Hikaru was messing with you again.
"Nothing." You said in grumpier tone as you tried to stand─forgetting your twisted ankel and always fall again but Yoshiki catch you fast and swiftly carry you to other room with a bed as Hikaru watch.
"So now I'll be going." Hikaru announced as Yoshiki told him not to take much time,"Yeah-Yeah! I will be back before you even notice. Try not to miss me (name)!" He tease as you search something near by to throw at him,"Who is missing whom now?" He was long go but you still wanted to throw something at the place he was present moments ago but Yoshiki catch your wrist─telling you it was not good idea to create unnecessary mess.
"He's so annoying!" You huffed and Cross arms across your chest.
"But he is kinda easy to talk too right?"
There it was. Yoshiki always speaking good of Hikaru. It kinda annoyed you. You wasn't some stranger to all this scenario, you just don't want to accomodate Hikaru or that's what you told yourself.
"Yoshiki take a chill dude. What are you? His personal pr?" You said in a joking tone.
"It's not like that. It's just I envy him sometimes. We both know he is not our Hikaru yet you still are so natural around him unlike me who is always catch up in these complicated thoughts."
Yoshiki confessed as you felt kind of annoyed at this assumption about you.
You weren't natural around Hikaru. You were so confused as he was. Even Hikaru can point out the difference in your nature.
"You know I am not that comfortable about the situation as you assume." You said with a slight frown,"I don't know why you keep seeing me like some bright and cheerful person." Especially when you are upfront mean to Hikaru.
"Cause you are (name)." You turn to look at him─not because of his words but rather tone. He said your name in such a soft way like it was something delicate.
"When Hikaru was missing in the moment, you were searching there with me and upto to very end until we found his body your humourous remarks gave me hope that everything would be alright and even when it was not, you hold me. You hold me and told me it would and if it won't be─you will be with me until it will be. Even when I told you about Hikaru's truth you told me if I wanted to have this Hikaru you won't mind playing along too─pretending this was real Hikaru."
You rubbed nape of your neck, not knowing what to say or do.
What was today with everyone? Randomly spilling their feelings to you; about you infact!
"You don't have to put me on pedestal. . ." You murmured, not knowing what was appropriate thing to say in situation like this. Yeah you can laugh it off as 'its how great I am' but you weren't able too.
Yoshiki was silent for the moment, like he was thinking something,"Maybe I do." So that he was thinking of?!,"But maybe because I can't reach you." He said as his hair covered his eyes,"What are you talking about Yoshiki? You can reach me. You are always with me." You instinctively hold his hand which he noticed but didn't comment on,"You know I didn't meant it literally." He said it with a such a serious face that you were almost tempted to yell him too that you understood his metaphor.
"If it was Hikaru you would have explode by now but with me you are composed for no reason and to think he is jealous of me. . ."
"I am not composed─you heard US?!"
You don't know why but you felt kinda embarassed knowing he was present at the moment. It was like you guys were catch in some scandal.
"Well I didn't wanted to interpret."
"You were not interpreting anything."
You said with a flushed face as Yoshiki just blinked at you and keep on staring.
. . . .
Ok if you weren't annoyed at your twisted ankel before, you sure were now! How the hell you were supposed to spend the night with these two after having kind of intimate confession about their feelings.
"Hikaru is taking a long time." Yoshiki said as he brought two cups of tea and some snacks he could find in your kitchen.
"I won't be suprised if he just forgot about us at this point." You took a slip as Yoshiki stare at the cock, counting so much time has passed─it was dark already!
"Uhh Yoshiki. . ." You called for black hair boy. You didn't say anything before to Yoshiki but you knew you have to. You need to give him some reassurance,"Just do you know it's not like I am not myself around you. I mean you and I literally share such a big secret regarding our friend. But you such never annoyed like Hikaru does and I like that about you." You finished with an awkward smile, hoping he could understand.
"So you like me, huh?" Yoshiki said with a small smile.
Before you could comment on that, Hikaru entered the scene,"Yahoo people!~" Yoshiki asked him why was he late but Hikaru's first priority was to munch on the snacks in front of you.
"Hey answer his question first." You slapped his hands away. He hold his slapped hand like it was injured which was kinda funny but not funny there is actual injured person like you.
"I changed my clothes and was feeling kind of tired so I lay down for a bit."
"Yeah that wasn't for bit." You rolled your eyes.
"Aw sorry (name) you must be waiting for me so desperately." Hikaru tease as you told him─only a idiot would wait for him─then pulled Yoshiki's arm,"I had Yoshiki anyways to keep me company. So why was I waiting for you huh?!" Yoshiki felt little flustered and Hikaru didn't said anything more. It was silent for the moment which was weird so you just hit Hikaru on head.
"What was that for?" He yelled as you told him, you didn't own him any explanation for your actions,"Yeah you do! Especially when your actions involves hitting me for no reason." You just poke tongue at him as Yoshiki tried to remind Hikaru they were here to help you.
"Now that I think, you guys really didn't need to stay here." You scratched your head as Hikaru just simply ignore and Yoshiki told you how they were already here so no use to overthink.
"Well that's what you guys should have think before randomly acting so weird with me, alone."
"Let me get find something so I can do hot treatment on your ankle."
Yoshiki check around for the material while you keep on just screaming from behind about checking under that counter or to open that cabinet.
"Why are you being so loud? Let's just go there." And with this, Hikaru randomly hold you in his arms as you let out a flustered shriek.
"What's this now?" Yoshiki turn around to saw a red you in arms of a smiling Hikaru,"We are here to help sir!"
You glared at him but things do get lot easier when you were in same room as Yoshiki.
"O-ouch. . ." You tried not to let out any sound but it was painful to have anything even touch your ankle,"It's ok. It's ok." Your grip on Yoshiki's arm got harder each time he touched your ankle,"You don't even know how painful it is." You said with a teary eyes. Yoshiki eyes your grip on his arm and stated that 'he kinda do know'.
"(name)! (name)! hold my own hand." Hikaru brought his hand infront of you with excitement but you instinctively refused him and he was disappointed, looking at this hand in sadness.
"Oh I just forgot about what he told me. But wait if I suddenly change my behaviour around it, wouldn't it be suspicious plus there is chance Yoshiki might notice that and it would be even more weird then!"
You grimace, Yoshiki notice but assume it was due to pain.
"Argh! I hate this!" You scream. Boys assume it was about injury but it was more about how their sudden feeling confession.
"Why are you being so stubborn?"
"Maybe because my hands are totally fine and you are just being annoying for no reason."
You guys were eating instant noodles for the dinner since none of you were master chef anyways and Hikaru suddenly realised you were injured and wanted to feed you. Can you believe this guy?
"You are doing this wrong Hikaru." Yoshiki said and then suddenly put a hand under your chin while blowing on noddles near your mouth,"You need to be careful instead of being rushing."
You didn't knew how to response to Yoshiki's such a bold move so you quietly end up munching on it so he will be away from you but then Hikaru decided he wasn't moving untill he feed you too.
"Why you have to be so annoying?" Your cheeks flushed as Hikaru pout,"See! See! You are being mean to me only again you just let Yoshiki feed you right now." You were about to say something but Yoshiki speak first,"Maybe (name) just likes me better."
You were so ready to face a one on one right now. But Hikaru just sulk like a puppy which ache your heart.
"Argh okk just one bite!" You awkwardly move your face near him as he jumped in excitement. Yoshiki just observe him for the moment before letting out a breath.
"My first wrong move was to go to that forest with them."
You think with displeased expression and what could you even do other than thinking while Hikaru was hugging one side of your body whole Yoshiki was holding your other hand.
"It's suffocating."
You wonder how these two could even sleep soundly.
You were definitely wasn't on board with ya'all sleeping together but Hikaru suddenly come up with most extreme scenarios like 'what if someone breaks in' or 'if you wanted to go out for a fresh air', in both cases you can't move on your own so you need someone on your side!
You were actually ready to laugh at his strange assumptions but Yoshiki was lowkey convinced too and just agreed with Hikaru right away.
You growl in frustration and tried to pull yourself from Hikaru's grip but he was immediately alert,"What? Did someone really broke in?" You had to put hands on his mouth to stop him from creating ruckus. Even Yoshiki was awaked,"Someone is in house?" He whispered with worried.
Oh boy this help is surely feeling like hell now.
Yeah I just woke and write anything─haha anything! 😃✌️🥀
I swear it was not this much weird at start but somehow in middle everyone was confessing their affection to reader and just acting weird (lol)
I could have just write from start but this was bugging me from days!; so much that I needed to finish it inorder to move on with my life (although am I moving on with my life? not really tho :p)
Yeah so here it.🥹✌️btw I am working on other request too─its just my brain goes blank after every sentence so send prayers for me.🤧
hello! could I request a yoshiki x reader fluff where reader kisses yoshikis moles and his reaction to that :P
thankyouu and have a nice dayy :]
PRETTY─PRETTY BOY۶ৎ
Yoshiki Tsujinaka x Reader
"What you are staring at?" Yoshiki asked trying to be nonchalant but you could sense he was feeling self conscious.
"Nothing, just my boyfriend's prettyyy face." You replied with a chessy smile as Yoshiki didn't even throw you any reaction and just simply kept walking.
"You can atleast act to be flustered." You groaned as Yoshiki replied he rather show his true reaction than those fake ones─he don't like when people are pretentious.
"Plus it was only effective the first time. It lost his charm when you are saying it like some prayer every hour." You pout at his words,"Plus after third time one started to realise, you are only saying this cause you like me." He intended to mumble last part but you heard it anyways and quickly scold him for thinking you were only calling him pretty because you were in relationship with him; and they actually didn't meant anything.
"Why are you even so self conscious? Is there something you not like about your face?" You hold his face between your hands and lean in to inspect as red lines appear on Yoshiki's cheeks due to closeness; as much as he adore you sometimes your bold physical interactions give him heart attacks.
"You still look nice to me. Is it the moles?" You asked as he avert his eyes and replied 'it was one of them'─you frown your brows,"Now you will hide things from your lovely partner?" Yoshiki let out a small, quick smile, hearing your words.
"Well why to worry about things about which nothing can be done." He simply said and break free from your hold and sign you to continue walking with him─you pass him an annoyed look although you know he was right in his words.
That whole day Yoshiki notice you were lost in thoughts─he felt bad; even though he didn't said anything wrong. . .or atleast anything wrong for you to be quiet.
He likes your cheerful demeanor. When you are saying random stuff and having physical contact him.
"Hey─" Although Yoshiki isn't best at confrontation he still made his mind to talk to you but he was cut off by your confident voice.
"We like things when they hold special memories." You announced as Yoshiki notice your demeanor was returning back to it's orginal vibe although he was still confused where was you were going with your words.
You hold his face and lean in. Yoshiki's eye widened although it wasn't what he was expecting but still enough to make his heart jump.
A kiss.
A kiss on mole near his lips.
"W-what was this now?" Yoshiki hided his face behind his arm as you gave him a peace sign─saying it was your solution,"Now this mole will always remind you of my kiss~" If you can't upgrade his features than you will connect yourself with them so he never dislikes them.
"You─You─" Yoshiki was so flustered that even after hearing your reasoning he couldn't gave you a response.
"What are you hiding your face for? Come here, I gotta kiss other cute moles of you too." You came closer as Yoshiki took a step behind.
"You are such a tease." He pretended to scoff because he was scared he would show how deeply your kiss just effected him.
"And you are so pretty so cute. You're so pretty cute!"
"Can you stop it?"
"Speaking or kissing?"
". . .speaking."
sorry it literally took my ten years to post. 🥹🥀 I swear your request is not ignored 🤧
Okk this is kinda short but I hope you still somewhat like it cause I know even least to least─it's decent/average.
It's just writing fluff felt so new concept to me especially for 'The summer Hikaru Died' and well Yoshiki's reaction is kinda hard to write properly too─hope i didn't butcher my my emo guy totally tho💔🥀
Regardless thank you for requesting and I hope you enjoy it even if just for the sake of 'enjoying'✌️🥀

Hikaru gave you a mischievous grin as he continued his talking as you and Yoshiki just walked in silence. Although after while he start complaining like a child about how you both were teaming up against him. To which Yoshiki replied that you both didn't even say anything.
"Yeah exactly! You both are ignoring me. It makes me feel invisible." He pout as you and Yoshiki pass each other a stare.
"Hikaru why don't you just simply go with Yoshiki straight to school, ya both walk extra just to meet me."
"It's nothing. It's good with you around anyways." Yoshiki said as Hikaru eyed him for a moment before nodding along.
"Thanks Yoshiki. And you just want someone more than Yoshiki to bother, right Hikaru."
Hikaru gave his boyish grin although he rejected your accusation immediately.
"Why do I need more than Yoshiki? If Yoshiki is here then everything is good enough. Although I think me and Yoshiki do not mind your company too."
"Why you make it sound like I am third wheeling?" You asked with slight annoyance as Hikaru keep on rambling something more nonsense in response.
You too being completely absorbed in your arguments didn't notice the strange behaviour with Yoshiki─how suddenly his cheeks were flushed and he opened his collar for some air.
"You know what? I give up. I don't have much energy to keep up with you." You took the defeat as Hikaru smiled in victory,"He is too prideful towards his opinion. There is no winning with him." Yoshiki commented to which you agree without doubt.
"Here you guys go again. Teaming up against me." Hikaru said with a sigh as you and Yoshiki glance at each other for a moment before you said that you guys didn't even say anything like that.
"Wait didn't I hear it before already." Hikaru throw you a bored look as Yoshiki told him that what he told Hikaru was different than what you told him.
"Oh boy, I'm stuck between these two." Hikaru fed the pity heroine act as you and Yoshiki pass him a disinterested look and then keep on moving forward.
"Hey wait─YOU─Hey!
Hikaru quickly come out his actor mode and chase behind you both to catch up,"Argh you both are so each other. Sometimes it feels like you both have same blood running inside ya." Hikaru groaned. You both assumed it was due to fact that you left him behind─which it was, but that was not entire reason for his question tho.
"We are very different."
You said as you and Yoshiki scanned each other.
"Well for staters she is girl and I am boy."
Yoshiki joked as you giggled a bit although Hikaru didn't looked convinced.
"Well that's only difference. You both are gloomy people with a personality no one can decode and for some reason ya's loner asses like animals?!" Hikaru said feeling frustrated like he was just realising this all right now tho you and Yoshiki still wasn't convinced.
"Who don't even like animals?" You said looking at sky like you find this conversation meaningless.
"Hikaru?" Yoshiki stated with a head tiled.
"Excuse me, I do LIKE animals. Just not those who scratch me." Hikaru defend himself as Yoshiki face him an amusing smile then you did same before looking at each other in eyes and laughing together and in laughter asked Hikaru to move faster.
You both were discussing some animal related incident involving Hikaru and laughing and didn't notice the focus look of Hikaru from behind.
He looked at Yoshiki's face then at yours. Yoshiki's face then at yours. Then it stayed on your face and something clicked in his in him.
"WHAT DID YOU SAID. . .?"
"What's with this reaction? I thought you would be more happy than this." Hikaru said with a sweatdrop and a scratch to his face.
"Of course I would have reaction like this!" You jumped on him out of angry,"Today morning you were all usual and now suddenly you say '(Name) would you like to go out with me?'. Have you lose your mind!"
Hikaru lean back as he covered his ears.
What's the problem here? He wondered. He is good looking, you are good looking. He knows you, you know him. Don't that tick all criteria for dating.
You hold your head. As much as you know Hikaru, it was pretty clear he was not actually 'into' you, romantically so why was he suddenly pulling this stunt on you.
"Oh come (Name)! Why are you getting all mighty for? It's not like you will ever get this chance again."
"What did ya say?!"
"I─I mean that best person to date is the one you are closest to you. We are close to each other, don't you think we will make good pair?"
He ended the sentence with his boyish grin which was a bit charming if you will confess but not enough to make your heart jump.
Although all his points were good. You still weren't ready to go this way. You have heard about friends who got in relationship and when it didn't work─they lost both: a partner and friend. Plus there was also Yoshiki. . .
"What about him?" Hikaru ask with a tilted of a head.
"He would feel out of place of course." You replied.
"Oh he won't. It's not like we will stop including him. It will be still you, me and him daily. Three good friends together forever."
"Yeah out of which two are dating." You said with a roll of eyes.
"Hey why are you so focused on not 'going out with me'.?" Hikaru was started to feel fed up too─he told you all the perfect reasons yet it seems like you didn't even have proper reason to reject him.
"It's not like 'I am focused', its weird that out of randomly you suggest something like that." You said feeling nervous. You realised you didn't want things to get difficult between you too just because you were same level as Hikaru on your maturity level.
"It's not weird friends date all the times!" He exclaimed like he was feeling like he would make you agree.
"And they break up too and things you weird." You felt like saying that but knew it would only lead to continuous in loop.
"Well you are. . .right." You said trying not to sound exhausted as Hikaru smiled in delight,"So will you go out then?" He asked cheerfully,"Give me time until tomorrow." You mumbled but Hikaru did not care. For him it was like you already agreed.
"Yayy!"
"It's not like I agree." You commented on his excitement.
"But you will."
"You don't know that." You said with annoyance although Hikaru just smile in response.
You kept signing to yourself all way back to home from school which Yoshiki notice and ask you about that.
"Uhh it's nothing. . .I am just thinking something." You said averting your eyes. You don't why but you couldn't look Yoshiki in eyes─not because you were hiding something but because you felt like you were betraying him somehow.
"She just likes to make things hard for herself. Answer is simply." Hikaru said with a smug as you pass him a glare as Yoshiki asked him if he knew what was troubling him.
"Not really." Hikaru said casually although you think it would be better if Hikaru would have say something about his 'suggestion' to Yoshiki.
"Yoshiki tell her to go with flow of nature~" Hikaru sang as Yoshiki give you a silent look as you roll your eyes.
"If you want to." Yoshiki looked at you then at Hikaru before replying in his usual tone.
You blinked. It wasn't like you were wanted some extreme reaction from Yoshiki but you did expect something atleast.
"So you don't mind me going out with uhh Hikaru?" You questioned again nervously and Yoshiki had same response.
"Plus I guess it's better for him to be with you than someone else. We can be still close." He said averting his eyes, looking at two pink flowers in distance.
"Oh I see." You said scratching your head─through it is over, you still did feel weird. Why were you so desperate from Yoshiki's approval? It's isn't like Hikaru belonged to him that you felt like you snatching him away─infact it was Hikaru who come with go out suggestion.
"(Name) do you like Hikaru?" Yoshiki's question catch you off guard as red lines appear on your cheeks although they weren't sign of flusteration but rather embarassment.
"Uhh not like like. I mean he my friend─your friend─our friend. So I guess I do like him as person, I doubt I got much interest in him romantically."
"Maybe your feelings will change while dating."
"I guess they could. . ."
"But regardless we all are friends right?"
"Of course. Even if me and Hikaru are dating, we will still always following you! Hikaru will still see you first in morning."
"(Name)", he put his hands on shoulder, his desperate,"Please never broke your words." You felt awkward but you nodded regardless and with that, day after today you and Hikaru were officially 'going out'.
It wasn't much difference like you anticipate. It was still you, Hikaru and Yoshiki but still sometimes you feel nervous─worried what more Hikaru wants or what Yoshiki thoughts.
"Oh this is for me?" You blink with slight red cheeks as Hikaru give you some sweet snack,"Yeah I noticed you like sweet things." You felt a smile forming on his consideration as Yoshiki humourously added that maybe Hikaru was being influenced by you,"Now what's supposed to mean?" He asked narrowly his eyes as Yoshiki simply shrugged,"Would like some?" You asked Yoshiki regarding the sweet as Hikaru whin how you ignore him─the one who brought it in first place,"I don't like sweet things." Yoshiki politely reject the offer as you and Hikaru absorb this new information regarding Yoshiki.
Days passed like this. Although there was somewhat gift exchanging and verbal affection other than that it was still same. It was clear there was no spark between you guys and you tried to tell that to Hikaru but he refused to listen to you.
"(Name) if you have found some other boy, just say it." Hikaru whin in a dramatic way as you told him there was nothing like that and you simply didn't find any appeal in this so called 'relationship'.
"It's not like you got any experience to know about the 'appeal of this relationship'."
Well that was true but still you weren't dumb and not was Hikaru.
Experience or not. Everyone still have the idea about the general feeling of what one should feel during their relationship especially FIRST relationship!
They say your first relationship is literally peak of romance but here you were still being friend in your own relationship.
"Put that away from my face." You said you put your hand between Hikaru on whom's hand some butterfly was sitting.
"Whyyy? Are you jealous of it's beauty?"
"No, I am scared of it's monstrous face." You replied with a grimace as Hikaru pout and look down at butterfly on his finger.
"Yoshiki would have like this." He mumbled. And there was nothing wrong in it tho. Yoshiki would. He have some kind of fascination towards insect. Originally he was supposed to accompany you two too but he back off saying he felt under the weather.
You were busy looking around in the forest, feeling uncomfortable but in that same moment Hikaru said something that would change vibe of whole atmosphere.
"If you put it on your hand. I will kiss you!" He exclaimed as your face turn red in embarassment.
What the hell was he saying now huhh? He was messing with you weren't he? It's sooooo him tho. Yeah let's give the poor girl and attack.
"I am serious." Hikaru stated like he read your mind.
"Why WOULD I want to KISS you now HUHH?" You questioned like you were annoyed but your red face was giving you adorable look.
"I don't know. Don't want your first relationship without any action right?" He shrugged as you was still bewildered at his suggestion.
You guys hold hands once in while but even that was embarassing for you so most of time it was no touch affections but now suddenly he wants to go for kiss.
You study his face for a moment before you agreed with a huff. Well you suppose it is ok deal. Although you still don't know why this deal happened in first place? Why were you doing barter in your own relationship?
"Hehe hold it then (name)-chan!" Hikaru put his hand in front of your face as you squeal a bit.
You closed your eyes and put finger out, trembling,"P-Put it. I don't wanna see it tho!" You justified your eye closing as Hikaru giggled, he found your reaction so adorable.
"Now, now don't be so scared (name). I am not that evil." He said smoothly as you felt him putting his arm over you, his finger on you, on which butterfly was sitting.
"Our fingers are touching and my butterfly is on my finger so let's suppose you hold it in your finger." He said with a grin as your heart skipped a beat for some reason. Was it because of close proximity? Or because you like how considerate he was being? Or because you knew what is gonna happened after this.
"Oh it flew away." Hikaru said dropping his arm off you and looking at flying butterfly as you took the breath, you didn't even knew were holding.
"But who cares? We are gonna do much enjoyable thing now." He turn around as you almost jump away due to your flustered feeling.
"Aww innocent (name) is blushing." He poked your face as you hit his hand away and turn your face away which was turn in front by Hikaru's fingers and you were immediately meet by Hikaru's lips crashing on you.
"Well this one is on you." Yoshiki said looking at Hikaru's bruised face as Hikaru pout that atleast Yoshiki needs to take his side.
"I saw it in a movie. I thought I was being smooth." Hikaru said, feeling wince as he tried to touch his face.
"Forgive me (name)." Hikaru cried out as you keep on ignoring him and simply walk along Yoshiki,"Tell her Yoshiki, tell her to forgive me!" Hikaru demanded as Yoshiki simply replied he wish not to meddle between you too as Hikaru jumps between defending his actions and apologizing to you. Yoshiki sighed hearing Hikaru and wishing you talk to him already. His eyes fall on you and he noticed how you were lost on your thoughts.
It was your first kiss. FIRST damn kiss. You didn't mind it was with Hikaru but the fact he didn't tell you, he was going for your lips─caught you off guard.
You barely hold hands with him so when he suggested kiss, you thought he meant simple kiss on cheek but lip kiss literally shake your world. In your shock and embarassment you end up angrily hitting him although you didn't hate the kiss, which was odd.
"Tch." You let out a soft sound as red lines appear on your cheeks. This kiss truly marked the start/change of something.
"What kind of manipulative relationship am I in?" You commented as Hikaru said 'give and take' is literal core of relationships.
"Well why the hell am I wearing this damn cat ears in clear daylight and walking around with you?" You cried as you tried to punch him but by now Hikaru was used to your tatics so he simply dodged it with a teasing grin.
"I think you look adorable in it." Your face flushed as he continued you speaking,"One time I gift Yoshiki cat shaped clip too and I found him wearing it so hilariously I always wanted to see him wearing cat ears."
"Make him wear it then!"
"Well he isn't my girlfriend now, is he?" He said leaning down as you grabbed his hair to push him away,"Try anything without my permission and you won't be able to recognise your face for long time." You said in stern voice as he hurriedly ask you to leave his hair,"Aren't you too cold for a girlfriend. I thought you were calm like Yoshiki but oh boy you are just wild." You roll eyes at his words and keep on walking.
Maybe somewhere between his constant teasing and being annoying, you started to like him but still unfortunately you knew he didn't. Whatever he was doing with you was simply because he wanted someone to do it with or more precisely something he wanted to do with Yoshiki.
"Oh we should visit the arcade next week! I once went their with Yoshiki but he refused after that saying crowd and music made him uncomfortable can you believe the guy?" Hikaru laughed as you took another slip from his can.
Once's again you guys were alone but Yoshiki was involved in conversation. You didn't ultimately hate Yoshiki tho. You knew he was trying his best to give you guys space. It was Hikaru who couldn't go one minute without relating something to Yoshiki and it wasn't even that! You know they were best friends so it's easy having so many references when you spend so much time together but can't for once Hikaru say something about what you wanted to do or memories you both have.
"Are you listening (name)? Hikaru tilted his head which you found adorable as you quickly say that 'yeah he was talking about going to arcade'.
"Oh yeah I did say that. Through I think you might hate it tho since Yoshiki hated it and you guys are kinda similar." He said scratching his cheeks as you felt he forcing the 'similar' word.
"You don't know that." You said averting your eyes in front,"I like arcades." You stated as you took the sip from your can.
"You dooooo?" Hikaru looked suprised,"Well that's sad." You gave him questioning stare which meant why was it sad now,"Well I was hoping I could be one who would have made you like arcade." He said with a sigh as you simply blink,"That's some weird preference you have." Hikaru simply poke his tongue out as you wrapped his one arm around you, bringing you closer to his chest,"Well it doesn't matter either way. My girlfriend would do what I like, right?"
"Right. . .
On time."
You said in sadistic tone as you look at your watch, noticing how late Hikaru was from originally schedule meeting time.
He apologized and give his reasoning for being late as you guys started to walk towards the town where arcade was situated cause it definitely wouldn't in your own small village.
"You know this time I actually came fast while coming with Yoshiki, he had to come to my house to check on me whether I was even coming." Hikaru laughed as you remain silent. Here we go again. The Yoshiki radio start.
"I asked him once's again to come but he still refused." Hikaru said with a defeated tone as you felt offended that he didn't ask you first before inviting him.
"Well it's not like he came anyways." He defend.
"But what if he did." Annoyance was clear on your face and Hikaru wondered why? You like Yoshiki, Yoshiki like you too so what would be the problem if he had came.
No one talked on this matter anymore and you and Hikaru simply keep on walking with random talks about the things on your way.
Eventually you did reach the arcade and as you expected as much you enjoyed, Yoshiki's name was still haunting whole day. You wanted to say something on it but decided to keep quiet like you always do.
There were romantic moments too tho. You both play on dancing tiles holding hands, he tried to win stuff toy for you and almost give up before eventually wining it. He hug you from behind in your turns so he could win. It was fun and nice. You might like the second time but hopefully without Yoshiki in every third sentence.
"I want to eat ice-cream." You pointed at the ice-cream truck in distance as Hikaru frown his eyebrows and mumbled that 'Yoshiki wouldn't like it'.
"And? I am not Yoshiki nor he is here right now." You commented as Hikaru realised you heard him and quickly said it was just a random comment and run towards the truck holding your hand.
You guys took the respective ice-cream and sit on the bench to finish them and once's again even the damn ice-cream triggered something related to Yoshiki.
"Hey Hikaru, you like me right?" You said suddenly as mood shifted and Hikaru nervously agreed.
"Who do you like more, Yoshiki or me?" Hikaru felt puzzled. Did he made you felt insecure by mentioning Yoshiki? But why would you? He was Hikaru's friend and you were his girlfriend. You got nothing to be insecure of.
"What are you are saying? I like you." He said trying to lighten up the mood.
"I didn't ask that. I ask who you like more?" You were not letting it go this time, you had enough feeling third wheel in your own relationship.
"Why are you being like that. . .Yoshiki wouldn't have suddenly─"
There it was, there was that again moment.
Why were you always being compared to Yoshiki? Recreating the moments Hikaru once create with Yoshiki or wanted to.
But where you? Yoshiki's replacement?
This idiot made you his girlfriend, keep on being stubborn when you ask him to break up things, made you fall in love with him and now then not even treat you as yourself.
"No, no. Forgot what I said (name). Sorry─sorry I always thought you and Yoshiki were so similar that I believe you wouldn't mind. . . ." Hikaru grabbed your shoulder to apologise but forgot what was he supposed to conclude mid convo or maybe he didn't know from start what was he supposed to say now.
You look at his nervous face. His hands were still holding your shoulder but his eyes were lost─it was like he was hit with the realisation he was running from.
You put hand on his cheeks as he snapped out of his daze and look into your eyes which definitely whole lot of affection of him, he opened his mouth to say something but you beat him this time.
"Hikaru, you can never like more than Yoshiki. . .You never like me to begin with, right?"
Okk so here we are again with angst and stuff cause why not -ᄒᴥᄒ-
So if it isn't clear by title and how it was going it is inspired by "Andrew In Drag". Bro didn't this song gave us best exposure to closet gay experience. Through "Washing Machine Heart" and "The Other Woman" also have their influence (〒﹏〒)
Bro it was like Tumblr didn't want me to post this cause why was draft posted 2 times and then wasn't getting saved as draft when I tried again (thankful I already had it save on notepad) then it crash two times while I was formatting. Bro I was this close to crash out and just give up 🤏💢
Also there are few deleted/ cut scenes too which I wanted to add but couldn't find perfect place/vibe too so I will simply note down here(･ัω･ั)👍
[Hikaru tried to convince you to date him. He says how you have everything he wanted in the girl he have liked. You are still in middle of processing this sudden proposal and tried to tell him why it's a bad idea. He pouts at your stubbornness and states that at this point it was easy to convince Yoshiki to date him than it was to you. You are annoyed and ask him to go to Yoshiki then and keep you out of his strange suggestions.]
"What are you talking about? That's not how system works." Hikaru said in a force but brutally honest way which made you kinda nervous.
Then during ending/final line I was also confused what to write because I couldn't think of some line that would reflect and conclude story perfectly but everything I thought of was just plainly humourous, lol!😭🙏
[RETAKE 1]
"You put hand on his cheeks as he snapped out of his daze and look into your eyes which definitely whole lot of affection of him, he opened his mouth to say something but you beat him this time."
"Hikaru, I am not Yoshiki in drag."
[Hikaru burst out laughing as you rolled your eyes. He says how rather than serious moment this dialogues makes it feel comedy. 'Why don't just dress up Yoshiki and do this scene with him instead'? He pointed at the Yoshiki who was literally sipping under the umbrella.]
[RETAKE 2]
"You put hand on his cheeks as he snapped out of his daze and look into your eyes which definitely whole lot of affection of him, he opened his mouth to say something but you beat him this time."
"Hikaru, I am the other woman right?"
"(Name) there isn't even first woman to begin with. That's the whole point."
[Aaaand once's again scene was cut and although you were annoyed you kinda agree with Hikaru on this one so you ask for dialogue changing as Yoshiki said he have something I'm mind.]
[RETAKE 3]
"You put hand on his cheeks as he snapped out of his daze and look into your eyes which definitely whole lot of affection of him, he opened his mouth to say something but you beat him this time."
"Hikaru, I am not female version of Yoshiki─oh you know what I said it now it was lame!"
"For what matters. I think it was better than last ones." Hikaru put an arm around Yoshiki who simply shrugged.
Damn it was some more dialogues before I set on original one but yeah you get the glimpse. (〃ﾟ3ﾟ〃)
Also it is kinda rushed through ending. So yeah if you find the pacing odd, you are right 🥲 I wanted to write Yoshiki's perspective too and if it wasn't clear he was giving the couple the space he needed. He was better than to interfere in a relationship he couldn't even be part of it was Hikaru who couldn't live without Yoshiki's presence.
Also it wasn't that Hikaru knew he was gay but wanted to hide it so he used you but rather because he was in denial. You know kinda thing you said your friends that if you were a bit, you made such a perfect boyfriend but it was same. Yoshiki thought he liked Yoshiki's personality traits and when he noticed you have few of them, he start seeing you has female version of Yoshiki.
Again sometimes I feel I write Hikaru has best of his character but during romantic scenes oh boy I know he definitely felt ooc 💀✋ and I am so sorry for that my dudes but you gotta have some cringe or it's not the x reader, now is it? (ㆁωㆁ)
You know what just leave some Hikaru traits, tips you made think would help me write him better. They would greatly appreciate 🙂↕️ although the fact you read story and then this long ass author note is appreciated on it's own, muahhh!<3(๑˙❥˙๑)
You, Hikaru and Yoshiki were close friends infact Hikaru would consider ya all a fun trio!
You all looked so perfect and normal from surface level─three young kids, whom's world revolves around fun but on deeper level things weren't so simple and sweet.
YOSHIKI looked at Hikaru and you talking; it felt so natural and real. Like it was supposed to be. You were so compatible together and even if you weren't atleast you guys were acceptable.
"Yoshiki! Help me wining against Hikaru."
"No, Yoshiki help me!"
"I am not getting involved with your mess. Solve─win it on your own."
"Oh come on! I was just kidding. Let's go to that river today. Happy now?" Hikaru had this charm─he would argue with you and then randomly make you smile the brightest too and honestly Yoshiki envied you for this. Maybe these kind of interaction let people assume about you and Hikaru being a thing; much to Yoshiki's unfortunate.
"WHY would I even date a loser like him?" You laughed pointing at the Hikaru who retort back with something too as you both once again started to fight.
It was so common for people to ask if you and Hikaru was together─even if only thing you guys ever do was argue; but it was only Yoshiki who saw that─others saw it as some sign that you might be into each other.
But isn't it wrong? If one is supposed to be interested in other one─why would they fight?
Wouldn't their eyes only hold admiration like Yoshiki's held?
But this society isn't smart enough. They don't seek true love, they only seek what they wanted to seek and he didn't had what they seek.
HIKARU saw the way you always cling to Yoshiki and how he always was able to take your tantrums. He always had sour feeling towards that but didn't verbally say anything cause what was he even supposed to? He also wanted Yoshiki to comfort him and took his side? How pathetic it would sound.
"Hikaru just listen to her."
"Like Yoshiki said!"
You laughed with a victorious smile as you wrap your hands around Yoshiki who just sighed.
Grumpy x sunshine? He heard some girls fangirling over you both. He found it annoying.
You ain't even sunshine; more like a crybaby.
He was the sunshine type; the one that would compliment Yoshiki's personality. Not like he really wanted to─but just to be accurate.
Hikaru sometimes wonder if one of the reasons he always argue with you on so random things is because he for once wanted Yoshiki to to took his side too.
"Hah! See even Yoshiki agrees!" Hikaru grinned as you pout at black hair guy and once again cries on his head,"Hey don't try to force him to take your side by crying!" He found it annoying─annoying how easy it was more you to get closer to him and have him on side.
Or maybe he was scared. Scared that one day you guys will just ditch him─yeah that what it was. He didn't want Yoshiki's attention─he didn't want to be alone.
YOU see the things nobody else see. You see the feelings Hikaru and Yoshiki─both have for each other, obvious feelings if you may say but except you it wasn't obvious to anyone; not even those two.
People always thought it was you and their choosen boy with second being third wheel, how hilarious it was: how far from truth it was.
It was you who was third wheeling. It wasn't even romantic feelings but rather their whole bond─it wasn't a mere attraction to body but rather to soul.
Why did you still intervene then tho? Shouldn't you just step down? What are you doing still being between them?
You won't accept but deep in your heart, a spark of envy would light once in while.
You don't know whom that envy was even for.
Was it for Yoshiki who always comfort you even when Hikaru was being mean to you? For Yoshiki, whom's presence felt like a home─safe and sweet.
Was it for Hikaru who despite always arguing with you, makes you the smile brightest? For Hikaru, with whom every impossible thing seems possible.
Or is it simply because you wished someone would look you at the way, Hikaru and Yoshiki look secretly at each other?. . .who knows.
Things were simple and sweet when it was just three kids playing in field.
Why didn't you guys even wanted to grew up?
Growing has only made this friendship a several layers of complex emotions that no one would even solve and they would continue getting complex.
Once's again writing the ❝The summer angst revived❞ lol. Also if it wasn't obvious, title is reference to 'Triangle'. The Summer Hikaru Died wakes some ancient writer in me 😭I don't even know how I write it in one go, truly a miracle of life.-ᄒᴥᄒ-
Hikaru was always so cheerful and carefree─honestly it made you so envious but it simultaneously also attracted you towards him.
You would never dare to speak of your feelings, hell you couldn't even try to understand them yourself but still you couldn't stop them from growing either.
You guys talk often even through most of time he was with Yoshiki, his bestfriend─oh how lucky was he that he got to stay at his side all the time, only if you could too! Yet why his eyes showed signs of suffering? Suffering which felt way more familiar to you.
"So you must know ton of secret about him, huh?"
It was not like you could make those secret come out of Yoshiki's mouth but still sometimes you ask him about Hikaru─hoping to get some knowledge that will be enough to satisfied that lover within you.
"I wish. . ." So odd.
Yoshiki aren't you his bestfriend? Bestfriend shares everything between them. Aren't you luck? You can easily stand beside him. Yet talking to feels like we are on page same despite having different levels of bonds with him. Oh Yoshiki you wouldn't want to see the burning jealousy inside this heart.
"Do you like Hikaru?"
Your face flushed red. Even if you would tried to deny it, Yoshiki wouldn't agree so you quietly nodded.
"Through it's not like it's serious. I just hope it fades soon."
"It never fades soon." Oh would you knew that Yoshiki? Had you also like someone but didn't have courage to say it?
"Well that's gonna be problem." You mumbled, not understanding how to continue conversation from here.
"You should give it a shot." Your turn your face so fast that Yoshiki was worried for a second that you injured your neck.
You quickly declined it. How could you ever! Plus you were pretty sure Hikaru would reject you and you didn't want to ruined the only friendship you have with him.
"I don't think he would. I can't guarantee he would be serious about you but he will look good. . .besides you."
What are you saying Yoshiki? There is no one except you who Hikaru wants besides him and who look good besides him.
"It will give me some alone time too and Hikaru would probably like this new experience. Plus it's not like you got any competition anyways." Yoshiki says with a longing voice like he isn't encouraging to confess your feelings but rather using you to put some distance between him and Hikaru even through he don't wants to.
Oh Yoshiki how innocent you are.
You say I don't got any competition yet you are standing infront.
You think Hikaru would like a experience in which you aren't involved?
Like he would agree to give you alone time!
Yoshiki, don't you see the way his eyes always lingerie on you even when you turn? The way your mere presence made his bright smile appear brightest. How he is always following you?
Oh Yoshiki, only if Hikaru saw through my eyes, he would realise what he means to me. Oh Yoshiki, only if you could saw through Hikaru's eyes, you would realise what you means to him.
Hopefully no one pulls sword on me for this one huhh (・–・;)ゞ
Yeah it's sorta x reader but my real intention to write it was to....argh like you know! That real Hikaru had feelings for Yoshiki too but Yoshiki never realised that so I kinda wanted to put third perspective to it─like Yoshiki thinks he don't hold more significance to Hikaru other than being a friend while he real he holds the the amount of significance that can't be measured 🥀
Summer is once again here and we once again witness how Hikaru died. Also can't wait for next chapter! Sometimes I wish I never catch up to manga─waiting makes me crazy! Also maybe I should try to write more of these platonic scenario 🤔
Old fairy tales─where a beautiful princess fall from the sky and a strong prince catches her. So absurd. But in a world infected with demons that should be least on the list of things that can't happened.
V, whom's body is in the grip of Griffon's claws─looks down at the city, those old stories mother used to tell, reminiscing in his mind.
Griffon started to struggle eventually as his claws started to loose around V. He complaint to the bird about not letting him fall but it was late and his claws already free his body from the grip.
In the middle of sky─while falling, V remembers those fairy tales again─were those princesses scared too? But atleast they were catch by their prince and he was going to break his bones which will make his already weak body more weak.
He closed his eyes, ready to face the impact of solid ground but he didn't face it, he didn't feel the ground.
"Angels started to fall from heaven again?"
Arms hold his figure─tight and secure.
He didn't expect the this one. Once's his body felt safe enough, his brain started to focus on the face that holds him.
It was you. He knew you. You have certainly change and mature from the last time he saw you but your eyes were same and were the proof that it was you.
You set him down as V looked at you for a bit─feeling confused. He should thank you right? But his memories won't let him. Long before Vergil mocked your capabilities as humans but today his human self was protected by you.
"Was that bird supposed to be your ride?" You turned the attention towards the exhausted Griffon, who was reaching for ground too. The way Griffon hold him, it was more like he was his prey but whatever you don't need to know details so V replied with simple 'yes'.
You eyes both of them for a moment. They looked weak and exhausted. Looking at the situation around─it won't be surprising if they escaped from some demon barely.
"Will you guys like to have some meal? Follow me if you do."
Such an ignorant behaviour. You didn't even glance back that were they coming or not but wasn't it your ignorance that attract Vergil's interest in you initially.
"What should we do?" V mumbled to Griffon through he already made up his mind on what to do,"We follow her obviously!" Griffon exclaimed,"With how much we are exhausted. She might come useful to replenish the energy. Plus she is knows Dante, right?"
They both were served with some meat through V did not feel much of difference, he still liked that atleast something was going into his body.
You asked about their background─V gave you some vague answer and you did not to enquire further.
Throughout the eating session, you noticed V sneaking glance at you. Maybe he wanted an introduction as it's not daily, someone randomly catches you from sky and calls you over for food.
What you didn't knew were that his heart was beating in some weird old feelings that resurrect from his memories. Memories that wasn't supposed to exist in situation but they still do and grow.
"Name's (name). If ya wondering."
"Yeah I know."
He convinced himself he didn't─tried to forgot it but couldn't. Humans are so pathetic that a simple interaction and those old feelings return like they never went away in first place.
Ok sir guilty as charged─I only wrote it because I wanted to experience him falling from the sky like an angel into my arms.♪～(´ε｀ ) Tbh it feels half-baked so this someone got any idea to full bake it, please do it.(灬º‿º灬)♡
okk so random and funny convo/dialogue/script (whatever you think this is) between Dante and Vergil (separate) as parents. you know that one period of time─no romance, just full on taunt, cause you have come so far together, you know nothing can break the relationship now. use of female words!
VERGIL
─ .✦ SCENE I
Nero : "Father, I can't reach the web. My legs are in pain."
Vergil look up from the book he was reading and throw Nero an annoyed look before sadistically humouring him.
Vergil : "Well then shall I ask web to reach you if you can't reach it."
Before Nero could have responded you entered the scene with same annoyed look too cause you know rather than arguing this father-son duo is of no any use.
(Name) : "Where does this pain go when you are out there doing timepass, huh?"
Nero : "Oh-ho you come dear mother? I was starting to think why does I feel less mocked. You know tell me did you give birth to me with any scheme─like let's have a baby and then throw taunts at him. If you guys would have used this much dedication for to do my marriage, you would have children running around."
Vergil scoffed and ask him Nero─what would he had feed to those running children. Pumpkin?!
Nero : "You are saying this like─you used to feed me very top cuisine."
Nero retorted back as Vergil told him that you both used to feed him what was needed but he was the one who like to snatch food from others.
Vergil : "I never even saw directly into my father's eyes and he is here, arguing with me on something so trivial."
Vergil's word irritated you as it was directed towards you. So now it was supposed to be your fault?
(Name) : "Yeah, yeah just hear stories from your mouth. It's not like your better than your son anyways."
Nero used the moment of distraction and run away as you also leave the Vergil behind to focus on other works as Vergil wonders how it started on Nero but by somehow it ended on him.
─ .✦ SCENE II
Nero : "Oh couple of swans, come out now. We are going to see girl for me─not you both."
Vergil comes out, checking his outfits as he told Nero─that why is he rushing, in end it's gonna be rejection regardless as Nero throw him glare, saying how his dad won't say anything usually but whenever he do─it gotta be something misfortune.
You come between the father-son before argument can escalate anymore and push them towards car and told them to have a positive attitude.
(Name) : "I think this one is for you. Last night I dreamt that I was holding a such beautiful child."
Vergil : "If child was beautiful then it wasn't his. Do not expect beautiful child from him."
Nero : "It's not like grandfather expect beautiful child from you either but I was born na."
(Name) : "Cause you look like me boy. If you look like your father, I would have just left you at hospital."
─ .✦ SCENE III
Nero happily enter the area, you and Vergil was, and simultaneously exchange a look─noticing his happiness.
(Name) : "Nero did you find some penny laying around?"
Nero : "Mom do I look like six to you?"
Vergil : "Physically? No. Mentally. Sure."
Nero frown and told you guys that he had find a girl for himself as look of suprises on your faces, make him satisfied─not did he find girl for marriage, he did it himself. Bro was definitely feeling proud.
Vergil once again give lecture on his indecent manners─how can one even arrange marriage without his father's consent?
Nero : "Yeah and if I had took you there then─I wouldn't get the girl but you sure would have get children for english tutoring."
(Name) : "Oh my pretty boy!"
You grabbed his cheeks as Nero felt shy while you keep on moving his face up and down.
Nero : "What are you seeing dear mother?"
(Name) : "That what did that girl see in you that we weren't able to from so many years."
Nero : "You know I am thinking to take whole town to marriage just except you guys."
Nero demanded that you both now just need to finalize the marriage date with girl's family on a auspicious day and it will be last thing he ever asks from you.
Vergil : "Marriage on good day? It is first step towards misfortune."
(Name) : "Yeah, my days of misfortune started the moment─I was wed to you."
You catch on the real meaning behind Vergil's words and did not waste the moment to let out your frustrations as Vergil just silently listen as Nero watch with amused expression─his father who can fight whole town for value of his words, was now quietly hearing scolding from his mother.
DANTE
─ .✦ SCENE I
Patty stare at you, who was rising an eyebrow like that explaination she give before wasn't enough, then at Dante who just yawn like he was forced to be there.
Patty : "Can any of you say something now?"
(Name) : "Do our words even hold any value now?"
Patty : "Yes they do or we don't be in this situation! It's not like I told you that I am selling all the property to elope. I just want to go on trip!"
(Name) : Patty! You know you are not supposed to talk about these things. See you made your dad tear up.
You hold the sobbing Dante in your arms who murmure about loosing his little girl and how he remembers the time she used to play dress-up with him only.
Patty hold her head. That's why she hate asking things from you two─not because you will reject or anything, in fact you gave her permission for almost everything but you guys were way too dramatic about it.
Dante : "Patty. . .do you promised you will be same little girl of mine even after the trip?"
Patty : "Dad, I am going to a two day trip not military training."
Patty replied to Dante who just hugged her saying for him, she will be forever his little girl as she sighed and ask if this means she can go to which you replied not before shopping outfits with you.
─ .✦ SCENE II
Dante : "Ladies, ladies calm down."
Dante hoped that his words will have effect on you and Patty who were just getting crazy with all the stuff you guys were buying─which was technically everything.
(Name) : "You won't buy anything for me, atleast buy it for your daughter."
Patty : "You will buy these things right, daddy?"
You and Patty where becoming too strong against him. Dante sighed as Patty dragged you to another store with exhausted Dante holding all the bags.
And when you and Patty were satisfied with your shopping spree, Dante did one of biggest mistake even if it was just him saying his honest opinion.
Dante : "I came here just for socks."
Patty : "We forgot the socks!"
(Name) : "Let's go if I remember correctly that accessories counter was near it too.
Dante : "Hey do you think I can get a room here?"
Dante asked one of the workers as you and Patty rampage through the mall for another hour.
─ .✦ SCENE III
You, your husband and daughter now were out at picnic which were technically you and Dante secretly accompanying Patty on her first date.
Patty : "You know I am not ten? You both can leave me alone for once."
You both still insisted on staying with her, telling her about horrors of first date and even saying if things go smoothly with her and the boy─it's not like you guys will show up to their every date after this.
You both take a sit diagonal of here as you earsdrop on their conversation. You both having the moment─where you almost walk towards their table in angry if not hold back by other one.
Guy jokes about how pretty Patty is and he wishes you could have just married and took her far away which hit Dante's nerve.
Dante : "How dare he tried to kidnap my daughter?"
(Name) : "Sit down before Patty gets angry on you."
Dante barely sits down before guy start discussing about Patty's unique sense of dressing and when Patty told her that her mother dress-up top. Guy laughed and said─how he thought why youngster like her would wear these kinda clothes and now it makes sense that, she was dress-up by someone with old sense of fashion and you didn't like how you belittle your fashion sense. It was supposed to be aesthetic and IT IS AESTHETIC─his dumbass can't just see it.
(Name) : "Leave me Dante. I will show that brat who got old fashion sense."
Dante : "Sit down sweetheart or we will be catch."
Then you and Dante start to order something to eat─thinking hunger was making you guys all work up as Dante giggled and said how it reminds him of old time.
Dante : "You remember our first date?"
(Name) : "Yeah sure. Where you forgot your wallet and then we have sneak off but we were catch and then I barely handle the situation."
Dante : "That─wasn't our first date. It was just an hangout. Why you always need to remember bad times?"
(Name) : "Those aren't bad times but rather times I help your careless ass."
And soon you guys were in argument with how helped and handle whom's ass and when. Which gained attention of people near by─Patty and her date included.
Patty out of embarrassment remarked you as weird couple but guy told her this long time commitment is one he wants to achieved as Patty remembers how long you guys have been together and probably shared more than these bickering and stalking their daughter moment─through all her thoughts were replaced with disgust as next moment she found you and Dante sucking each other's mouth like some teenagers.

↳ (reply): now that would be such an irony in contrast to this comment if it end up getting true💀
─ Another clip where (Name) messes up a line. Dante goes, "See? Told you she gets flustered when I'm close." (name) turns around, throws a script at him, trying mask flusteration with angry.

↳ (reply): bro didn't even hide anything.
[USEROFDELUSIONS] if I remember right??? (name) in also a same 'ideal type' question reply with 'calm but fierce','someone with the way with words' and that definitely matches vergil's traits to!
↳ (reply): yeah I remember it too and if I remember right-it was around the time rumours about them meeting in secret started to spiral.
- [USER_GOT_HELL] he definitely meant this one interview to reach (name) as an indirect confession.🤭

Well we guess even the people in the industries are starting to enjoy this love triangle as they have started to place their bets too! Providing us with some behind-the-scenes moments that just tangles this messy romance more!😳
─ Posta by a reddit users in r/dantex(name)xvergil (yes they even got a subreddit dedicated to them😮💨🙌)
❝I used to work on the [Redacted] set and let me tell you about (name) and the Sparda twins.❞
i. (name) used to spend late evenings rehearsing ALONE with Vergil. Not unusual, right? Except he hates rehearsals!
ii. Dante visits (name) almost daily especially if his brother in the movie and he is NOT.
iii. Wardrobe crew confirmed they had to sew (name)'s necklace back after someone "accidentally tugged it off" during a totally-not-scripted scene.
iv. One time there was a screaming match behind Stage 4 and all I know is, someone stormed out and said, "Then YOU tell (name) how you feel!”"
❝Written down some incidents that highlights their love triangle. (I had a project to submit in 24 hours even haven't touched it lol)❞
• Dante helps (name) fixed the necklace. Vergil throws them an annoyed stare from sideways. SAME VERGIL WHO WON'T EVEN WASTE BREATH ON HIS BROTHER'S TATICS SUDDENLY THROWING HIM A STARE???
• (name) posted a photo on her story with a cup of coffee and a silver ring on her right hand. The ring is identical to the one Vergil wears in his latest commerical shoot
She deleted it after 6 minutes.
Coincidence? Maybe.
BUT THEN—two hours later, Dante posts a pic of a glass of wine captioned “Sometimes you gotta let it breathe.” WHO ARE WE LETTING IT BREATH?? CAN WE GET SOME ENLIGHTENMENT😭🙏🙏
• You know that leaked blurry wrap party video where all three of them are standing close together? WELL GUESS WHAT—I cleaned up the audio and when (name) leans toward Dante, he whispers something that sounds like:
"Save this for backstage babe, he will be mad right now." I WANT TO BE PART OF THAT BACKSTAGE SHOW TOO🙏😳 (name) laughs then Vergil put a hand around her neck and glares to Dante,"Let's see who got tickets for backstage special." PLSSS LEMME JOIN THIS BACKSTAGE STUFF TOOO.😭😭🙏
Well, well one side where fandom is in choas─the recent scripts with their favourite to not help to lessen this fire any less either!
Recently many fans noticed how (name), Dante and Vergil are getting casted in way too much love triangle films.🫣While many belives it just industry using their love triangle for some money yet many claim that it's just Vergil and Dante getting in the way of each other as many of the simple rom-coms are getting last minute love triangle alterations.🫢
❝DATE TO DATE❞ (Originally a two-person romance)
─ Script leak shows: Dante's character was added two weeks before shooting. Fans noticed the original trailer only had Vergil x (name) clips. Final cut? FULL triangle arc with "tragic betrayal". Behind-the-scenes gossip claims the director said, "There was too much heat between all three not to use it."
❝TO WATCH SPRING WITH YOU❞ (A post-war romance starring Vergil and (name))
─ Test screenings showed audiences felt "too much chemistry between (name) and side character Dante." Studio forced reshoots and marketed it as a "tense love triangle across enemy lines".
• "Dante and Vergil just don't back down," says one alleged crew member from movie set. "You can see it. They both want (name). Offscreen. And somehow it bleeds into the performance." Another insider said,"They're not acting, they’re reacting."
❝HOT SUMMER WITH BABE❞ (originally focused on person finding love of life in beach)
─ Fluffy romantic comedy with (name) and a musician Dante. Somehow: Vergil shows up halfway as "her childhood friend who never stopped loving her." More interesting things is that it is based on a popular manga series (as per first trailer of movie) but by second one they changed it "inspired by".
• When questioned by director on a sudden change in plot, she simply replies,"I don't create triangles," she says. "They walk into the scene, and I just… follow them with the camera. Whatever’s going on between them, I don’t touch it. I just give it a spotlight."
Honestly fans are just like "They both should stop coming in the way of each other". Some say it's 'getting boring!' but views these films are getting says otherwise.(〃ﾟ3ﾟ〃)
Honestly we can't get enough of these three, they are trending everywhere! Got subreddits to script leaks of their films. Their relationship keeps us on edge yet excited us simultaneously!
Now ending our this edition's gossip with few humourous comments from the fan online(๑╹◡╹๑). See ya in next volume with more choas!
[USERWTF] "I am sorry but (name) looked at Dante like he hung the moon. This isn't even fan bias this is OBSERVATION."
[IKUSER] "Did you saw the way (name) glances at Vergil during any social events? It's like (name) just wants to be with him only!
[THELOVEYWRITERESS] "Plot twist: (name) is not interested in anyone and they’re both just down bad. Like, embarrassingly bad. And we’re the fools doing unpaid detective work."
[BAN-FOR-A-REASON] (name) is definitely secretly dating both, and the reason neither Dante nor Vergil is mad about it is because... THEY’RE MAD ABOUT EACH OTHER─
So yeah since ya'll like the first one, decided to reward you guys with another edition -ᄒᴥᄒ- khihihi! I don't know it is and honestly I even haven't beta read or edit it so if you find any error, just tell me in comments─I will be more than happy ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
Hope ya all enjoy the this choas volume with messy romance, if they still don't settle the love triangle you might see us (me) sson!
Nero, was a boy of lesser words especially when he was in Fortuna. He usually prefer to be alone or least to least just talk to Kyrie and Credo.
"Good morning Nero!" You passed him a smile as he frowned. Last time he remembered─he wasn't being any friendly towards you.
His lack of you response didn't hurt you as he was silent not ignorant, he did give you a nodded.
Kyrie soon joined you both as you greet her with same enthusiasm which she matched and then enquired Nero if he did the same, as she knew his tendencies to get more than usual anti-social around you, to which you simply laughed and told her atleast he acknowledged your greet.
Hours passed from that interaction yet Nero wouldn't forgot it. Nero clenched his gloved fist tighter, trying to shut out the echo of your laugh from earlier. It had caught him off-guard—light, carefree, like it belonged in some other world, not this one littered with demons and memories that wouldn’t die.
He would shake his head off, trying make these weird thoughts related to your ago away. Hell why were you in his mind so much these days? He wondered. And what was the weird feeling in his stomach whenever he thought about you.
Like bro was in the middle of cleaning Blue Rose, minding his own business, when he suddenly thought about the way you scrunched your nose when trying to understand something about demon related . The memory hit him out of nowhere, and then—boom. Stomach swirl. Head heat. Complete glitch in system.
"God—what the—" He rubbed his forehead like the dumb memory gave him a migraine. "The hell is wrong with me?"
"Are you fine?"
Where the hell problem i.e you, itself appear out of?
Was his reflexes getting weaker? Cause how the hell he didn't heard you approaching and now he was faced with your lean in face when he opened his eyes after rubbing forehead.
"The hell you doing here?" He asked, masking his flustered red face as angry.
He sits a couch as to create some distance between both of you but it is in vain as you popped besides him like it was most natural thing in world.
You had brought him coffee. Again.
“Looked like you needed something warm. Besides that scowl,” you teased him through despite his annoyance he did accept your coffee as start speaking about some funny scenes you witnessed today.
He didn't responded.
He never responded.
And still, you came back.
Every damn day.
And every time, he told himself it was just annoying. That your kindness was a trick of pity. That you couldn’t possibly see past the jagged edges and mess that made him who he was.
But then—why did he notice the way your fingers curled around the mug? Why did he keep the empty cups you left behind on his desk for just a little longer before throwing them out? Why did his heart skip every time your shadow stretched around the corner before you even said a word?
He was just so close to just see a doctor and get checked if anything was wrong with his system.
"I think the problem you have Nero, can't be cured by doctor."
Kyrie told Nero who confessed his concern to her and now frown at her reply. Now what was that supposed to mean?
"I think you like (name)." What?
"Like you said yourself that (name) is always in your mind." Yeah cause you always greet him with your stupid smile and just always pop out of nowhere near him.
"Oh Nero don't be stubborn now, you are into her and that's a fact."
No. He was not into you. He couldn’t be. You were... sunshine and laughter and good coffee. He was sarcasm, trauma, and barely contained rage. You both were in different ends of rope so you guys can't be connected, he told himself something like that but when have heart ever listened to someone's word anyways. It loves whom it wants to love.
More and more Nero tried to suppressed his growing feelings towards you, more they were shown on surface and it pissed Nero because now every time you were near, his stomach turned into some kind of punk rock concert. Even at the night, his mind now started to create various scenarios─where you were getting saved by him or you confessed that you can't live without him. He growled, smacking himself, hoping it will stop next day.
Next day when you spotted him around the town─alone, you decided to accompany him. It was casual, comfortable.
Well—you were comfortable.
Nero was a nervous wreck pretending to be a person.
He kept his eyes forward, hyper-aware of every single move you made. Every laugh. Every step. Every time your shoulder brushed his. He counted each one like they were time bombs.
Then you take a rest on a bench, it was silent but it didn't feel awkward.
"Nero do you hate me?"
You questioned him as his emotions turn wild─he didn't hate you but wouldn't that mean he like you but he don't likes you─okay maybe he does a little but he is not ready to accept it.
"What makes you think so?" He let out, trying to sound nonchalant.
"Well you always have being anti-social but now days it you looked super awkward around me." His breath almost stop. Were you playing with him or you truly don't understand the situation despite literally saying it.
"I like being around you so I always seek ways to get that but if it is bother to you then I can back down."
From all of your genuine confession 'I like being around you' was the only one his ears transmit to his brain and it keep on repeating it.
You frowned at his lack of reply. So were you right?
Nero hadn’t been cold exactly. Just... distant. Quieter than usual. More grunts than words. More brooding silences that stretched a bit too long. And you’d noticed the way he sometimes looked away when you walked into a room, like he didn’t know what to do with your presence anymore.
"I will give you some space," you said quietly. Maybe he was still feeling awkward to agree with you. Cause you know deep down he sure do have a humble heart.
You stand as Nero looked in your direction, panicking. Shouldn't he be happy? Maybe now that weird feeling in his stomach can finally go. He would be able to close his eyes at night without seeing your face. If he wanted these things to happened then why his hand grabbed yours.
You looked back. He looked panicked. Like a kicked puppy". . . Don't," he mumbled, eyes locked on yours.
You tilted your head. "Don't what?" Nero turn his gaze on the ground─unable to hold eye contact. He felt so vulnerable and he hated it.
"I don't hate you. . ." You didn't comment anything yet because he felt there was more to come which Nero after internal war with himself let out,"I just—" He exhaled. "I am not used to. . . people. You. Being so—close. Most of time they just left but you didn't." He took breath once again before saying,"And I didn't knew how to handle the feelings you brought with your presence."
Your eyes widened on his words,"What kind of feelings Nero?" You questioned through you already realised it. Oh how dumb of you, to be so obvious to something which was literally in front of you. Now Kyrie's conversation regarding what you think of Nero, made sense.
He glanced at you, eyes sharp and vulnerable all at once. "The kind that makes me wanna pull you closer but also punch a wall cause I don't know why."
Silence.
You blinked. Slowly.
He realized what he just said and before he could defend his words, you blurted out something which made his face went white and cheeks go red!
"You have feelings for me Nero."
It wasn't a question, it was a pure statement. You catch him and now he can't even defend himself. He can deny all he want but he knows you are not believing him.
"That's so cute. So that awkwardness was just you crus─" Nero screamed you to not continue as he felt so humiliating. Not even his feelings but his past actions were getting exposed to.
You laugh, not at Nero technically but rather the humourous situation as Nero turn away with a scoffed.
"For what matters, I like you too and won't mind a getting all lovely-dovely with you." You confessed with chessy smile.
"Then did you guys start going out?" Nico asked getting bored of this whole story, she just wanted to hear the main part.
"(name) just told you this whole ass story with me sitting beside. Take a wild guess?" Nero replied with sarcasm.
Nico rolled her eyes at Nero's reply and whined about wanting to hear excited,"I don't want to take guesses! Tell me the real part─did you guys kissed? Who kiss whom first? Bet it definitely wasn't him!" She mocked Nero who looked ready to hit her as you laughed at her words
Silly and random headcannons for my boy, which may or may not make sense 😭 so read at your risk!
Ever since you realised how much of lonely childhood Nero had and how he thought he did not deserve good things, you made it your goal to make him feel loved every moment for rest of his life.
Through you have good intentions, Nero initially started to think there was something wrong with you, as suddenly you couldn't keep your hands to yourself anymore if he was in same room as you.
"Whatever it is─never let your weapon or focus down." Nero explained to children in orphanage as it was obvious many of them was joining Order in future and he wanted to give them some advice as it feels good to be admired.
"Hey there pretty boy!" You exclaimed with happiness as you hug him from behind, making his face flushed and definitely his guard along weapon down.
Nero tried to prey you off from him as he felt the stare of children, seeing him contrary his words as you just harden your grip around him, making sure your affection and love reaches him.
"Do we got a beautiful girl hugging us too?" One of kid asked in aw as you let out suppressed laugh─snort.
"If we are strong, do you give hug to us too sister?"
Children were now more interested on how to get you more than whatever Nero was teaching them. Nero look at the scene─feeling annoyed how attention was taken from him and how these brat thinks they can have you too.
"Find someone for yourself. She is mine."
He pulled you to his chest as his hand claims place on your head. Safe to say everyone including you was completely in aw. Damn when did your boyfriend got so bold?
Kids were more sharped than you both expected. They quickly understood you both got something going on and exactly what you have going on as they corner you both with various questions. Definitely more excited and engaged than whatever Nero was initially was teaching them.
"So you hold hands?"
"You sleep together?"
"You feed each other?"
"YOU KISS EACH OTHER?"
With each question they cornered you more and more as they finally ask you to kiss each other to prove your relationship.
"The hell we proving yourself to you?" Nero throw him an annoyed glare through you have opposite reaction as you were acting all blushing and shy, mumbling it is something you guys really needed to do for your relationship.
"Did you finally turn crazy?" He asked his vien popping out as you give him a flirtatious smile before wrapping arms around him and almost pushing a kiss on flustered Nero.
Sadly kissed was stopped by Kyrie who scold you for being pushy and pointed at poor Nero who was vigoursly fan himself to cool down his warm face.
"Don't tease him. You know he isn't much for affection in public." She gently reminded you and took the kids, who were complain about not seeing kiss, so you guys could continue on private.
"Try to do push these things on me again and see what happens." Nero warn you but he didn't missed that mischievous look in your eyes. Things were just starting.
Now Nero loved you very much and wouldn't give you for anything but these days you were getting really out of hands─especially in public, you would just barely lay your eyes on him and next moment you would be either clinging to his arm or hugging him.
You would hesitate to call him your boyfriend in front of others, which he kinda likes but won't say but sometimes boyfriend just kinda get overused.
"Hey there didn't notice you because my eyes only focused on my boyfriend."
"Yeah and then my boyfriend said─I shouldn't and I was like boyfriend─I am fine. But boyfriend didn't took me seriously then boyfriend──"
Nero would be lying tho if he said he hated all the attention tho. The way you prioritize him, made him so happy but he was sad that he couldn't match your enthusiasm in relationship.
Nero, who was before, was still used get embarrassed in private too now was getting clinging. Always holding you and giving you random pecks on cheek as it was his way of showing he loves as same. He even started to hold your hands in public on his own.
"Whoa Nero─e-enough." You said in between the giggles that left your mouth as Nero keep on kissing you around the face.
Bro turned into some kinda animal who just wanted to cuddle you. He even started to bite you as you give him such a cute aggression. In private, he don't want to do anything just cuddle with you, with you telling him how you adore him. It gives him so much contentment.
"Aren't mosquitoes eating you too much these days?" Kyrie humoured on your reasoning for bite marks as you felt your cheeks warming. Is that how Nero felt when you used to be clingy with him in public?
When you thought your boyfriend wouldn't make your heart do more flips, he pulled the boldest stunt which made you sure that you never want to let go of him.
You were both were exploring the island (which initially was Nero fighting with the demons but then you followed him and forced him tag along).
Nero keep on reminding you how dangerous the forest would be and how easy it would be for demons to you guys but ask him to chill, saying how you believe your knight in armour will protect you to which Nero let out an annoyed huff. Yes he would definitely protect you, even with his own life but it doesn't mean you could be reckless.
You come across a high tree and competed who can reach the top first, in which of course Nero won and you pout but he keep his confident smile as enjoying seeing you mad.
"Whoa you can see whole Fortuna from here!" You exclaimed as you and both observe the town. Pointing at various places and identifying them.
"Oh and that's the church where marriages happens." Nero highlighted as you nodded along,"Hopefully one day ours too." You mumbled in flow but it reach Nero's eyes who give you an suprised look.
His reaction made you realised your words and embarrassing they were asking you quickly start to explain how you didn't meant what you meant─life is short and it's not like marrying him was your only goal of life through you wouldn't mind but OF COURSE it still got time and m-maybe you guys won't be even together in future. You keep on speaking but Nero cut you off saying how it wasn't like he was against the marriage and he DEFINITELY DO NOT want a future where you guys aren't together.
"It's just I was surprised that you hold such a deep feelings for me that you even imagined our marriage." He confessed rubbing back of his head.
"It's not like I do that on daily basis. . .it just come out in flow of conversation." You mumbled feeling flustered.
"But I do not want you to think I am against it." He started again as your cheeks started to get visible red, you didn't even thought that,"Yeah I get it─" You were cut off as he put his hands on your shoulder,"I don't know what kind of future this island filled with all this demon killing holds for us but I still want to be by your side. To give you best and see you forever smiling."
Your face was in aw hearing his words, how sincere and geniune they were. It was like he was doing some confession you remarked to which's response he turn around in embarrassment, stating how his confession can't be this lame.
"Well, well don't be embarrassed now. I like that confession─or whatever it was. So you can kiss me as a reward."
He gave a hesitate look, before leaning in and kissing you on lips.
"How rude!" You slapped him in anger.
You meant on cheeks. He can't kiss an unmarried girl on cheeks. He retorted back with how much close you guys are from cuddling to even kissing at other parts of face is lips where you drew the line? Hypocrite.
"Oh yeah." You mumbled, looking down. Realising with how much physical contact you guys shared, this kiss practically meant nothing,"But it still don't make it right. I didn't give you the consent." You continue on hit his face which he shield with his arms.
You were just weird girl. You bathe him in affection in public and private but one kiss from him in private turn such a big thing.
He is pretty sure more than consent, it was about your suprise. You never thought he could kiss on lips, atleast not this randomly. Guess this marks a point for him tho. He is going do all sorts of things out random from now just to see your cute reaction.
To say Vergil was suspicious of Dante would be not odd thing considering the same Dante who would give random excuses when ask to babysit Nero was now suddenly taking him daily for walk.
While Dante was a good uncle and took interest in his nephew, he wasn't much interested in playing or doing anything that required his physical moment.
"Okay Nero, it's time for walk with uncle. Say bye to your daddy." Dante waved from one of little boy's hand who give his daddy blank stare. Vergil wondered if he should enquire his doubts or not but his decision took so long and Dante was already gone.
"Now, now let's see if your aunt reached or not?" Dante narrated to the baby Nero who give him a disinterested look and move his gaze around the park: watching some ladies talk: kids playing; then his gaze fall on you.
"What is it little man?" Dante questioned Nero's gibberish words and then follow the moment of his hands─oh it was you.
"So you approved her, right?" And without much hesitation Dante walk towards where you were but acting like he didn't see you and was focused on handling Nero.
"What's all this excitement is for?" He laughed holding him mid air as Nero still stare and move his hands towards you which you catch your attention and you pass him a smile as you started to walk towards him much to happiness of both Nero and Dante.
"Hello baby." You cooed to Nero who was giggling on the sight of you,"Damn boy you be taking all attention now, huhh." Dante playfully complaint as you give him an amused look.
"Isn't your uncle even more baby then you, baby?" You said to Nero but your eyes were focused on Dante. Dante grinned today you were being respond to his hints, was he finally progressing with you.
Nero started to pull his hands towards you, indicating he wanted to be pick by you to which you happily obliged and he quickly snuggled into your arms once Dante hand him over.
"Let's walk around a bit." You suggested to which Dante happily agreed, feeling the stars on his side today,"Wow what good deeds am I getting rewarded for today?" He said as you both started to walk side-by-side,"I don't know maybe being a good uncle." You joked as you rub your cheek against Nero who in response laughed and grab your cheeks.
Dante grinned, thankfully for the day Vergil forced him to take Nero out for walk as it was what that lead him to the woman who stole his heart.
Dante still remember how he was getting tired up holding Nero in arms; not physically but rather mentally so he just put the little guy down so he could move his body a bit.
One moment he was observing Nero and his funny steps next moment he was surrounded by ladies─who question him one after and other and when he was able to escape them, Nero wasn't in his sight anymore.
A panic rise in his chest as his eyes started to searched for his little body. He was barely taking a step before? Where did he go in just a second? Did someone took him? His blood ran cold on mere thought of it.
"Is he yours?" He turns face to face with you, holding Nero in your arms and the said boy being all comfortable there like he did not give his uncle almost a heart attack.
"Sure is. Come on buddy." He open his arms with a exhausted smile but hide his face in your neck and refused to leave your for next one hour and now you were suck holding him and simultaneously chatting with his talkative uncle.
That one hour was blessing to Dante. He could never believe he would meet a woman he would be so attracted to. From the way you talk about society to way you would match his humour and that's how daily uncle-nephew walk started.
Through you initially were wary of Dante, the first time you were stuck with him due to Nero but soon you find yourself being interested in his jokes and his humourous flirting.
Before now you often act like you weren't expecting the uncle-nephew duo but now you felt it was right time to show you were also starting to look forward for them or especially him - Dante. (Don't tell Nero tho)
That day was supposed to be your one time reconnecting with nature but thanks to them now it was a daily occurance.
Both of your feelings were there yet you both treat them lightly and just enjoy the moment.
Maybe one day there will be confession. Maybe there won't be.
You just know that even tomorrow you guys will be meeting here.
"Shouldn't you leave a goodbye kiss?" You rise a eyebrow on hearing the bold suggestion from Dante,"To Nero." He quickly added with a grin like he was messing with you,"Or it could be me too." You pass him a flirtatious smile but still rejected the later statement, saying you prefer the more cuter guy here, who was Nero.
Dante pretend to be hurt but his eyes still stare at you with that dazzling look as he hold the Nero in middle as both of you lean in to kiss his chubby cheeks.
"See you tomorrow. . .Nero." You both simultaneously kissed his cheeks as he let out a delightful noise.
"I think she meant that last statement for me." Dante grinned as he look at your figure which was getting farther and farther to which's response Nero pulled his cheeks like he did not like Dante's assumption.
"I am seeing how aggressive you are getting for that woman to your own blood. How will your dad feel that you choose her over your blood?" Dante cried to Nero in dramatic way who give him a blank blink.
The DMC Film au is so fun to read! Do you plan on doing more with it? Like "interviews" with Dante or Vergil, more tabloid stuff, or maybe even writing about fan "spotting" reader with someone during a perhaps romantic moment. If not, that's okay too! But if you are, I'm looking forward to it. ❤️
Ahh glad to know you enjoy it 😆🦋 Yesss, I indeed planning on doing more cause ❝Both fans aren't ready to accept that their ships aren't the cannon and continue on presenting different proof─from tweets to secret clicked photos and that one blurry interview from decades ago??? Theories are just going wild!❞ lol. Stay tuned for what more this love triangle has to bring✧\(>o<)ﾉ✧
Thanks for your kind motivation and supportive words<<<3 Have a great day ahead and don't forget to stay hydrated🎀
Step aside, Film Industry—Hell just got hotter. It isn’t just burning with fire—it’s burning with jealousy, flirtation, and forbidden affection. Rumors are flying! The superstars twins: Dante and Vergil, are now not just competing for films anymore—they’re both aiming for the same heart, the heart that belongs to the same level popular star (name)!
And you know how things get between fans especially Vergil and Dante fans, who like their idols are always on the other side of rope─competing for the spotlight. Love triangle among the twins and the (name) is just turning fans crazy and their theories to evidence even crazier!
As we say before the fandom is currently split right down the middle: #TeamDante, #TeamVergil, and of course, the rising rebel group known as #TeamThrouple. (Ahh yes the old-why choose only one? when you can have both!). Ever since Dante, Vergil, and (name) started dropping suspicious crumbs all over the place, their fandom has split into hardcore camps—and the battles for who's the "real" couple are peak chaos.
#TEAMDANTE
“You cannot convince us otherwise. (name) literally laughed at Dante’s joke that wasn’t even funny. That’s LOVE, baby.”
── Behind-the-scenes footage where Dante "casually" wipes something off (name)’s cheek.
Let's be real chat, no matter how flirty and mischievous Dante is, we had never seen him getting close to other stars rather than few verbal remarks but with (name)? He is just all about physical contact! And plus you see (name)'s reaction? They both have so relaxed reaction like it's every day thing for them. Now you won't be this casual with someone you are not dating now will you?
── (Name) and Dante literally had been top choices for all rom-coms! Most of their early films were even with each other.
It is no lie that many directions have bluntly confessed that (Name) and Dante were their first choice for any film that involves "romance" and Dante, who unlike his twin got only in spotlight after this two blockbuster romantic films which includes "(name)". So they know each other from long time and old friends to lovers is not a new troup to see anyways.
── (Name) and Dante have post many pictures together and show preference to spend time with each other.
Okay so is now everyone either blind or straight up idiots! Like what proof do we need more to see, these two definitely got something going between them which they wants to hide from public (their choice!🙌) but come onnnnn you can't be this blind to ignore the oblivious signs. in some interviews stated how they likes to hangout (informal word for 'date') together as they find each other's 'presence's fun'.
#TEAMVERGIL
“Vergil and (name) spotted in park together in disguise. They sit on a bench. At one point? They bump shoulders and he doesn’t move away??! Bro they are literal comfort zones of each other.”
── Vergil posts about being excited to work with (name) on their new film.
Okay we all know despite being a wonderful and famous actor─Vergil is still such awkward especially when it comes to his other fellow stars. He barely post anything on his socials or rarely even mentions other celebrities so you should get gist by now that how much significance (name) hold that 'he.is.excited.to.work.with.(name)'
── (name) who jokes about being lucky to get chance at acting cause their academic life sucks, are now suddenly posting quotes from classic literature.
(name), who in past have often criticized their academic skills and even state reason for coming into acting (media from random youtube, og interview is no where to be found): "I had many books those's plot interest me but I couldn't just find the focus and attention to read them, so I hope one day I can act or direct all those books so can I watch them instead!" An actor who once's couldn't find focus and attention to read is now posting quotes from orginal classics? Suspicious, isn't it? More suspicious it becomes when you realised in our industry only one other person is known to read classics (and oddly same classics (name) post's about) who is Vergil and another point that (name) start to show interest in literature around the same time their blurry photos in the park started to get viral.
── Many directors have state that (name) and Vergil work most efficiently together.
Guess who despite not even getting cast in couple roles still acts more naturally together? Yes, (name) and Vergil! Many directions seem to believe that they both respectively work more better when other one is around and due to this reason even if one isn't in the film, they will still cast other one in minor role interaction with major role so they will give their best. And while it might see casual for (name) but Vergil often accompanies (name) throughout the film on set even if his role is already done. These guys are just straight up example of those obvious couples who won't just agree that they are dating!
#TeamThrouple
“Why don't they all just accept each other's feelings for each other and start being poly! It's big 2025─everyone deserves love.”
Umm we don't say much about it but hey atleast this way everyone's fans will be happy! Now that's a pro.
What’s really going on behind the scenes? Is this a clever PR move, a real messy love triangle, or are we just projecting our shipping fantasies onto three ridiculously good-looking people who accidentally created the most intense slow-burn romance in the industry?
Now that's something we still have to find but seeing how interesting things have turn─It looks like this one gonna be on trend for while.
So stay tuned with us as we search our best on this trio and bring you the newest evidence about who is kissing whom, who got dating whom!
Now, now fellas don't ask me what was I smoking while I write this but hey! isn't this a nice one tho. (◠ᴥ◕ʋ)
So this thing is inspired about by i. me and my friend in our school days, making exaggerated gossips about boys and girls separately (yes yuri and yaoi fans can be friends 😔✊) and just laugh to ourselves and ii. that asking chatgpt to make love island with your friends reel.
And ofc the literally inspiration─I was scrolling through tiktok and then saw few fan edits of actor-actress, saw the comments under it and was like damn this is fun and here we are sir🫡✨
Through isn't it fun fellas? Seeing how crazy the fanbase is about whom do you get chemistry with more(◠‿・)—☆
Life of two happily wed couples is disturbed when husband, Nero starts to feel the things for widow, (Name) which he should feel for his wife, Kyrie instead.
You and Nero didn't blantly say or confessed anything but it was clear. There was something going between you both.
How he could be seen with you more often these days or how conversation with you and Kyrie was nowadays always about Nero. You both still bickered─but day by day it was getting more like playful teasing.
"No way you are still alive." You commented on the approaching figure of Nero, whom's first thought was to visit you after completing the mission rather than Kyrie.
"I wonder this each day, when I still see you here in this house." He replied but rather than annoyance it was more like joking, something you noticed. You were still same but he wasn't. You let out a smile as you saw Kyrie approaching where you and Nero were.
"When did you arrive?" She asked her husband, her eyes scanning his body for any wounds,"Just now I was about to go to our room before something cross my way." He said eyeing you as Kyrie scold him to not say like that, probably worried that you would be offended due to your current situation as widow.
"It's okay Kyrie. I don't mind." You let out a smile of comfort as you started to walk away to give husband-wife moment alone. . . . . . .or that's what you wanted to act like, you walk in front but your eyes remain on back and moment Nero's eyes also searched for you, you feel contentment and continue on your way.
"What good deeds am I getting rewarded for? To have you come and approach me." You stated like some scholar as Nero just give you a sly smile, which was small but you noticed regardless.
"Kyrie ask me to apologise for my rudeness before. Through I doubt you want that." His eyes scanning your figure, watching a sly smile appear on your face.
"I don't want anything but I must never refuse anything one throw my way."
"What's with the way ya talking? You eat something wrong?" Nero enquired not bothering himself with non-existent apologies.
"Don't change the topic. I was offended you know." You said, which was false even Nero knew, but still played along,"So what must I do to earn your forgiveness?" You grinned asking him to enjoy your for a walk across the town to which he obliged with delight.
"And then some kid started to cry and her mom throw me glare. Like mam why don't you just take your kid away from scene." Nero rambled about something from his mission which you heard only from one ear through both your ears were interested when he started to tell you about the gem he got while slaying demons.
"Did you brought it with you?" You questioned in anticipation and would have literally lost it if Nero said anything other than 'yes'.
"Wow it's so pretty." Your eyes filled with sparkles from the gemstone.
"Just like you." Nero frown a bit at his thought as much as he can't deny about him growing some sort of feelings─connection with you, he still didn't like it when the line he was practicing to tell Kyrie came naturally for you.
"See it even glows when I hold it." You give him a confused look but didn't say anything regarding this as you both kept the hold on the gemstone, seeing how it glows. Nero felt a sense of satisfaction.
You were eventually and slightly pulling it towards you but Nero's word made you totally left your grip from it,"I wonder if Kyrie will have same reaction. Through I already know you all girls have eye for these things." You frown. So you were just a decoy for Kyrie's reaction. Just to be pratice on before he could give it to his wife. Now that really upset you through that was strange to you too, you weren't much effected by his relationship with your friend before but nowadays whenever Kyrie gets mentioned you feel a sense of annoyance.
"You should go to her then to see her reaction." You remark bluntly as you turn your back towards him and stare the birds in the sky. Nero sense shift in your mood and internally get worried─did he offend you? did you want it too? He assumed you to be the type who wouldn't care for these things but he supposed he was wrong.
"Do you like it?" He questioned straightly,"What if I do? It's not for me anyways." You didn't even see towards him while speaking and it started to get on his nerve─a lone woft who didn't care about anyone, suddenly started to feel frustrated when you didn't give him attention like a child.
"Look at me while talking." He tried to said in annoyed tone but you pick up that it was just facade for frustration.
"Why?" You simply asked. Nothing more, nothing less. Just a simple and short question yet Nero feel like sword was dangling on his throat. One wrong move and it would cut him.
Nothing came out of his mouth. What was he supposed to say? That he hates that your lack of attention and interest in him? That he feels vulnerable with you not sparing him a glance? He couldn't say those things─hell he didn't even know what was he was feeling at the moment.
"Forgot it. Go to Kyrie then told me what happened, kay?" You said with the smile Nero knew you didn't meant. It was just a way to come past the awkward situation from earlier.
"Here have it." On Nero's hand was a broken piece of gemstone from earlier.
"What you broke it now?" You stated while cautiously picking it up,"I did it on my own. I wanted you to have a piece too." You mouth turn into a straight line. Was this out of pity?
"I thought you didn't care for these things or I could have brought one for you too." He confessed. So that's what it was about. Yet your smiles blossom into a smile as Nero feel his cheeks getting warm at the sight of. It looks so divine even if it was directed towards that broken piece of gemstone.
"You know I remember a fact."
"What is it?"
"Gifting is big sign of affection in nature too to know. Birds gift some flower or even a stone as proposal to their mate. The random sticks dogs brought or mice left by cat─they all are example of affection." You said as you Kyrie combed your hair with care,"Well nice fact you got there." She giggled as you stare at your reflection in mirror with a flustered feeling in your chest.
How much time it has been since you this much decorated? From beautiful attire to the accessories around your wrists and ankles.
Initially you refused when Kyrie come to you this morning beaming with excitement, telling she would dress up today. You knew how much choas it would cause if somebody catch you but Kyrie insisted it was alright.
"(Name) you looked so beautiful and I am not even good at this stuff." Kyrie put her hands on your shoulder as she stare to your reflection in the mirror too after doing your hair.
"You know na how much trouble it would be if someone just burst through this door right now and see us." You commented to make sure she was aware of the situation you guys were in.
"Oh you worry so much no one is coming─" Her sentence was cut short when door was slammed open and for a moment you felt your heart jumping out of chest.
"Nero you scared us!" Kyrie scolded the totally astonished boy who was captured by the sight in front of him,"Nero you heard me?" Kyrie asked as she closed the door behind him,"Oh yes I did. Sorry." He mumbled as his focus was still shifted on you.
"Tell us how do (Name) look." She asked with excitement holding your shoulder as you lowered your eyes, feeling flustered which Nero noticed.
"She─uh look great─I mean fine─uh-uh good. She looks good." Nero feel so strange. Why were you dressed like this? And with how vulnerable you were acting, he felt something weird in his stomach.
"Oh come on she looks fascinating." She said holding your chin as you shyly brought your gaze from ground to his eyes,"Do I?" Nero was speechless, having nothing to replied.
Through question was meant for Nero, Kyrie replied to it, thinking it was general sentence and keep on complementing you to which's response your cheeks started warm up.
Nero wondered how others will react if they were to see you─surely they could complain at start but seeing how mesmerizing you are looking, he knew they would eventually come around. Afterall men may get all mighty they want but in the end they bow against the woman with beauty.
"Are you looking for trouble?" His tone was serious and annoyed like he was fed up,"Change before somebody catches you." And with that he left the room ignoring Kyrie's call.
Kyrie once again reassured you that Nero didn't meant anything bad and is just being cautious but you stop her this time,"You do not need to apologise on his behalf. If he feels guilty himself he will come on his own." And with this you changed back to your usual simple attire and left the room with the Kyrie, who was staring at the mirror where once's your beautiful reflection resided.
Nero, was out of sight whole day after that. At some point Kyrie was even started to worried but you comfort and remind her how he literally fights the demon and returns to her without any injuries.
"What are you? A child? Hiding from your consequences of action."
You finally catch him around the same fountain you once tried to curse.
He did not faced you and ignored your presence.
You felt annoyed. He really sucks at handling his emotions. If you were his wife, you would have help him but you aren't his wife, now are you?
"I thought I finally won over the loyal husband but why then you suddenly stomp out like a child?" No answer. You literally initiate the conversation in a humourous way yet he could not reply, much to your annoyance.
"You are such a child man. You don't even know how to handle your emotions. Rather than comforting and taking accountability to your wife, you are here like a sulken child."
"Stop." He commanded in a low tone but you did not back down.
"You act all mighty in front of me but to the woman you are married you can't even say anything. It's like you don't even love her."
"I love her. I would kill for her." You rolled your eyes and cross your arms.
"Oh yeah sure. Like she would prefer a murder above geniune conversation."
". . . ." His silence just push you to speak more. Recently he had being annoying. He seeks comforts in you yet his wife is first. He is married to Kyrie yet he remains at your side most. It's like he couldn't even decide whom he wanted. And as much as funny it feels in start eventually it has turns frustrating.
"I don't know what she even saw in you. An emotionally unavailable guy who acts like a child? One who can't even decide on his own? I am pretty sure you don't even know what you want to do this moment! You just─"
You were interpreted mid sentence by a rough hold on your shoulder which pulled you towards Nero's lips.
Your eyes widened at the sudden action through kiss was cut short,"This is what I want to do this moment and I did it." Now you were the one without words and Nero speaking.
"You think I don't know my emotions?! Oh you don't know how I handle them! You think I enjoyed when instead of going to her arms I want to see your face first the moment I returned from my missions? I start to feel the comfort in your annoying presence even through Kyrie is one who tries to give it to me? How I live with the fact I got same demonic powers in me from which I am supposed to protect her! Do you know anything about me? DO YOU?"
His breath was rapid, his chest rising at quick speed as his hand still grip your shoulder with force. You know he and you started to feel the connection you shouldn't feel for the sake of your dear friend but you only enjoy it's vulnerability. How it was there yet he tried to avoid it simultaneously still never leaving your side yet this sudden confession felt like cold water dump on you out of nowhere.
You both just stare into each other's soul for a moment just trying to figure out what other one was thinking before your competitive side realised how Nero was suddenly dominated in the conversation.
You break from his grip and throw him a glare before your words started to left your mouth again.
"You are the one making things difficult for yourself. If you realised how complicated your emotions are getting why don't you just choose one thing and go along it." That was the problem Nero couldn't choose one thing─between Kyrie and you, he need you both equally. One keeps him sane other one makes him feel belonged.
You let out an annoyed huff before highlighting the new information he confessed in the heat of moment.
"So you are a demon?"
". . .Not like full one but I got few power like them." Nero stated lowering his gaze as he started to feel conscious.
"Huhh. No wonder injury barely stays on your body."
"Do you think Kyrie won't love you if she knew about this side of yours?" You questioned with a sympathetic look as you somewhat started to understand his emotional conflict.
"I don't want to make assumptions on my own." He was scared but he still couldn't pictured her hating him. Maybe confused, worried, scared. But hatred? Never. Yet his heart couldn't beat properly when he tried to imagine a scenario where he could be confessing his secrets to her.
"For someone who have way more worst things for her to know you certainly are way too much fixated on some demonic powers." You stated bluntly, referring to his growing feelings towards you as he felt like a deer in front of headlights.
"Kyrie won't hate you just because you got to pull few stunts same as those demons but she will be hurt when she realised these eyes long for someone else." You speak as with each word you started to get close to him, putting a hand on his cheeks, staring at his eyes with sadness─was it pity for your friend? feeling of betrayal you caused her? or simply that you know this love he had for you won't ever blossom it will only cause damage,"And you know worst thing even after that betrayal she still won't hate you. She will be hurt yet won't have heart to hate you."
Nero grinned his teeth in frustration as he emerged into your touch. Feeling so pathetic for the situation he is stuck to. Why did he even ever associated with you? Yeah you give him a sense of safe place to be himself without worries but wouldn't it be better if his only goal of the day was to see Kyrie's smile not your face.
A chucked left your mouth as he move his eyes towards you, wondering what more will be spoken this night.
"You know that one time in church when you were saying something about 'feeling this and that, what makes us different than demons' I just realised it was you talking to yourself." Nero frown but did not give any reply as you started to speak again,"All along you were scared of becoming a demon yet you possessed the most human quality i.e emotions. Demon do not have this much complexity, they just live to be killed or kill. You are full of emotions that you don't even know how to handle them and yet you had audacity to think you were demon! You mocked him as you took few steps back but not out of fear but rather due to how much you were laughing.
Nero did not say anything but he started to feel embarrassed. Why were his feelings were being mocked? Was this your way of pushing him away? If it was, it was surely working─
"Tell me do you love me?" Why were you so straightforward? He was starting to hate this side of you.
He stare at your figure which was against the wall like it was exhausted but your mouth still have lingering smile from that earlier laughter.
"I don't know." He honestly replied turning his face sideways. Maybe he liked you. Maybe he wants to be at your side. Maybe he enjoyed when you heard his stories with interest but to love you? He did not know. Love is such a dedicated subject so he never tried to understand it. He just thought he was supposed to love the one he married which was Kyrie, someone he thought he loved from start yet his situation right now makes him question his love for her.
You passed him a mischievous smile as you started to approach him. He should be wary of you yet he didn't not resist you and let you have your way.
"Do you hate when I come close to you?"
"No."
"Do you hate when I put my arms around you?"
"No."
"Do you hate when my thumb is brushing around your cheeks?"
". . .No."
"Do you hate when. . .I. . .do. . .this?"
You moved your face slowly towards him, enough time for him to reject you, push you yet none of these happened and your lips touched.
Unlike the earlier one the kiss you both shared now was more geniune, soft and one that made you feel love. You both were emerged sharing the kiss his hand even grip your cheeks as to stop you from backing away.
When you both finally started to feel shortness of breath, lips were parted away. Your chests rise up and down rapidly due to the lack of oxygen for few minutes as you both stare into each other's eyes─your arms still around him and his hand still on your cheeks.
"I think you love me." You stated with chessy smile.
"(Name), are you fine?"
"Huh? Y-Yes I am." You replied but Kyrie's concern face showed she was not convinced,"I hope you aren't lying." She eyed you with suspicious as you let out a laugh letting her, you wouldn't dare.
You need to keep your act together. These days you often find yourself dozing in the moments you share with Nero behind the eyes. You thought things would have stay same─you still teasing him, enjoying his hidden preference towards you but no things took entirely new turn.
Nero was the one often teasing you these days, his body brushing against you while walking, somehow you being trapped in his arms and you like some young teenager feeling butterflies in your stomach. Each interaction playing in your mind on continue.
Kyrie giggles brought you out of your dreamland. Nero's face was flushed red but he managed to give Kyrie a smile.
"Nero, you are now smiling more these days." Kyrie pointed with a delight as you blankly stare at them,"Yeah thanks to your." You control your urge to roll your eyes. What was with this chessy interaction?
"What's with this frown on your face?" Nero nudged your sides as you blow your hair and ignore him. Through you wanted him to feel your annoyance but Nero find your reaction utterly cute.
"I don't know. What's it to you anyways? Go to one who makes you smile." You grumbled as Nero give you a confused look,"You are jealous?" You quickly turn your face, your eyes daring him to repeat the sentence,"The hell I will be jealous? Whom do I even got to, get jealous over." You said with forced laugh.
Nero crash his lips into you but as you were about to faded into it, he quickly pushed your face away,"Maybe over them." He said referring to his lips as your mood start to improve as you trace your finger across his soft, pink lips.
That boy was getting master to control your but you didn't mind. It felt so good to be love even if this love come at the cost of betrayal.
You both once again spend the time, kissing and flirting, even talking about his day. Like you guys were actual couple. Nero was enjoying the moment so he missed a hint of darkness that was hiding in your eyes.
You could try to tricked yourself into forgetting the negative emotions but your mind won't let you.
You really never mind Nero and Kyrie relationship. You know your place, you know you were the outsider, the disturbance to their marriage but these days you noticed Nero pulling some stunt on both you and Kyrie and through you were happy that your friend was finally getting the affection she deserve you didn't liked that it was the same as you. You remember Nero that time before also showed you gemstone only to see how Kyrie would react to it too.
You thought to point it out to Nero many times but whenever you guys alone, it's like you are in paradise─every doubt and negativity leaves your mind.
"What are you smiling about?" Nero questioned as he played with your leg on his lap,"Just thinking about how eyesore like me is actually recieving love these days." Nero quickly told you that you were not an eyesore and even narrate how looking at the decorated you, made him feel flustered.
"You may look simple but eyesore? Hell nah."
"I am not saying it in physical sense." You clarify and explain him how it was more in the way how widows were seen.
"Breath of husband do not defined wife's beauty." He stated, making you laugh as hearing it from a literal man was truly an ironic moment.
"And even if you are an eyesore──" He put finger under your chin,"You are a beautiful eyesore." He kissed your cheek as sweet giggles left your mouth.
Moments like these made you believe that it was your life now. Not pure but atleast with love. But you forgot that no matter how hard you only tried to stick to only affections─not the giver, heart do not follow minds, it eventually starts to crave more and soon the things which feels so sweet in this love turn utterly sour.
Okk this stuff is getting part 3 too (for whatever reason) and I am just watching dmc 4 again and again to understand his character more accurately and even then ultimately failing to do so. (-aura moment) But it's ok after this, I will reincarnate as new person and write him in the way he deserves.😄🫴
