Chapter Text
You went to visit your friends at Devil May Cry, when you saw a man, a gorgeous man with black hair and tattoos, and you felt your breath disappear from your lungs. Shut up shut up shut up this is not the time, is what you tell yourself as the handsome stranger greets you
“Greetings, have you seen Dante around?” He greets you and you feel the ground disappear beneath your feet, shit you need to respond and not stare like an idiot
“No uh- actually I’m here to see him now but he might be out on a job. Can I help you?”
“I wanted his help to find a demon named Urizen… it’s a tough one so I believe I need to talk to him directly”
“I guess we’re waiting for him then uh- “
“Call me V”
“Nice to meet you V”
The next few moments were awkward, he was reading a book, you looked at the cover and it said Edgar Alan Poe. Handsome and smart, you thought. While he read you couldn’t help but steal glances at him, and couldn’t help but imagine what his hands could do to you, where his lips could kiss, what he was like in bed-
“Wow, two’s a crowd and three’s a party. Why the commotion ladies and gentlemen?”
Thank goodness for Dante and his awful timing because you had been staring daggers through V, and you were 100% certain he had noticed.
“Dante, I gotta go to the doctor’s later, can I borrow the car?” You ask, knowing the answer is most likely no, but wanting to pester Dante for the fun of it
“Nah, not my car”
“Oh come onnnnn, I don’t want to take the bus”
“Nope.”
“Ugh Rude.”
Dante turns to V to find out what he needs, while you go settle on his couch. They talk Business for a while but you’re not paying much attention, as you look at V’s tattoos and imagine yourself trailing your fingers all over them- Shit shut up.
Amidst your fawning over V, you don’t notice him turning around to look at you with a mix of curiosity and longing, clearly curious about your gaze on him, but not really willing to act on that curiosity.
The time passed and you got ready to head to the cardiologist’s, taking the bus there and still thinking about V. Oh in the name of Athena if your mind could just stop that’d be great.
You decide to take out your Tarot cards. While it is crazy to pull them out for something like a stupid crush, you couldn’t resist. You pull out the Fool, The Lovers and… the three of swords?
“Great. Incoming heartbreak.”
You put the cards away and enter the Cardiologist’s office. Ever since you joined the Devil Hunting business, you’ve been checking up your heart regularly. You asked the doctor for an EKG to check if your heart is beating properly, to make sure you’re able to keep up with the strenuous activity of your work
Once you were done with the EKG, you went back to the agency to yap with Dante (and hopefully see V).
“Dante I’m back!” you said, still kind of mad he didn’t let you borrow his car
“Welcome, welcome, I was just talking to V here about his job, I think it’s best Nero and I handle it. You know, demon blood and all. Given the roots that are spreading, I might leave you here to take care of the civilians, make sure they keep away from danger” He mentions V and your heart falls to your ass.
“Don’t act like you’re better than me!” you bite back
“Oh, I am better than you” He retorts
“In your dreams!” you scoff and sit on his couch
