Summary
Vergil stared at the boy.
The boy stood before him, clutching his arm, his eyes wide with a mixture of awe and apprehension. His hair, as white as Vergil's, caught the dim light.
The resemblance between them was undeniable.

Summary
For years, Vergil refused to acknowledge his need for the comfort of family.

And he wanted that to change.

Summary
Nero tried to pinch himself out of whatever strange dream this was, but the sharp sting did nothing. He was still here, standing in the middle of a misty forest.
And in front of him, standing alone with a katana nearly too big for his small hands, was a boy.

Summary
"It was you, wasn’t it?"
Vergil’s eyes flicked up, barely a shift, but it was enough for Nero. The question landed like a dropped stone into still water.
"You raised the tower," Nero said again, more certain this time. "The Temen-ni-gru. That was you."

There were things that needed to be said, unanswered questions and unfinished conversations that had Nero waiting long enough.

Summary
Finding a gift for his father wasn't hard. The hardest part was making sure it didn’t lead to an awkward five-minute silence, a lecture about power, or worse—Vergil actually saying "thank you" and Nero not knowing what the hell to do with that level of emotional chaos.

Summary
Vergil did what any father was supposed to do: Protect his son.
Of course, he wasn't prepared for the overwhelming surge of emotions that came with it.

Summary
When Nero can’t get hold of Vergil for three days, he assumes the worst. Maybe his father’s off brooding in a lava pit or slicing through some demon lord.
But when he finds Vergil bedridden with a stubborn cold instead, he’s left navigating an entirely new kind of awkward: Sick Dad Duty.

Summary
"So, uh. We have a teeny-tiny tinsy-winsy problem."
Vergil had witnessed his fair share of absurdities since returning from the Underworld with his brother.
But nothing could have prepared him for the sight of Nero… as a child.

Summary
"…There is an entire couch here," Vergil said finally, voice laced with dry amusement. "And yet you choose me."
Nero cracked one eye open. "You’re more comfortable."
His son was always full of surprises, but this one certainly caught him off guard more than he could ever admit.

Summary
Nero blinked, then let out a huff, glancing away momentarily. "You're late, Dad."
"I'm aware," Vergil replied. He paused. "I apologise. There were some… complications."
He had already come to terms with the fact that his father wouldn’t show up for his birthday. Truthfully, he’d resigned himself to the familiar sting of disappointment. But when Vergil did arrive, Nero wasn’t even remotely prepared for the gift he brought with him. Not by a long shot.

Summary
"You..." Nero gawked. "What the hell happened to you?!"
Vergil's expression was calm, even mildly amused, and he closed the book with careful precision, setting it aside on the arm of the couch. "A rather… inconvenient magical backlash."
The last thing Nero needed was another stupid demon crisis. Especially not one where his stoic, battle-hardened father had been reduced to a ten-year-old version of himself.

"I had a bad dream," Nero blurted out.

Summary
"…Dante," Vergil drawled, the early feelings of a headache incoming as well as the urge to slice his twin in half. "What is that?"
"Okay, before you say anything, technically, it's Nero-"
Vergil wasn’t sure what hit first. The confusion, or the primal twitch in his blood at the sight before him.

Summary
He lifted his gaze, meeting Nero’s almost at the exact moment the young man darted a glance toward him. The hesitation was so brief it could have been missed by anyone who wasn’t waiting for it.
"Uh…" Nero averted his eyes. "N-No, it’s fine. The last boat isn’t too far off anyway. We’ll catch it in no time."
Vergil realises, perhaps for the first time, how much Nero hides behind that quiet, stubborn bravery. And how much he wants to understand the son who keeps looking away.
