Jackie.

Lady and Dante rented a apartment together. After all they wanted a place to stay and sleeping at the dmc offices isn’t the most comfortable. Sometimes, they would even struggle to put food or pay the rent. It was either between those decisions or nothing. Demon hunting isn’t the best job to earn money but it did, did the job. One day lady was sitting in the couch watching TV with literally just underwear and Dante’s shirt. You know what they say in relationships? „What‘s mine is yours“. Dante came home, barely on his feet just throwing himself on the couch, throwing his sword somewhere. „Be careful with that sword damn it!“ she said, slightly annoyed. „Yeah yeah whatever… wait are you wearing my clothes?“ he asked while glancing at her. „What does it look like too you…?“ she raised an eyebrow and looked him. „Well you do look cute with my clothes on…“ Dante said with a cocky smile. lady then looked annoyed but started to blush „yeah right…“ she answered. „Come on babe what’s with the attitude…?“ he tried to kiss lady but she pushed him away „go away you smell like demon guts!“ Dante still smiled but pull away „you’re so mean to me sometimes…“ he said in his low-whiny voice. „I’m not mean, you’re just an idiot…“ she said bluntly. „Well you’re sharing AND dating this idiot… guess that makes you one too“ lady gave out a annoyed sigh. „yeah… we both quite are… but that’s literally the reason why I feel for you in the first place…“ she said in a softer tone. „Nawww so I am the only idiot-„ before Dante could finish, lady pulled him over for a soft but passionate kiss. Dante was taken by surprise, but he continued it with a big smile. The kiss was so intense that lady sat on his lap and Dante’s hands were wandering around lady’s butt. „where are your hands, wandering…?“ she asked with a low slightly confused voice. „Can’t a man lust over his partner?“ he said while having a cocky tone to it. Dante lifted up lady’s (or his) shirt to see what’s underneath. He started to laugh for like a minute „are you really wearing cat shaped underwear with MY Shirt?“ he said slightly going under them. „Oh? So am I supposed to wear lingerie for you? I thought you weren’t into that stuff…” she said. “I am still not my babe…” he gave her a slight smack on the butt while trying to look innocent. Lady flinched a bit and looked at him annoyed. “What was that?” She sound confused and annoyed. Dante just laughed like an idiot. “I’m sorry baby but you just look so incredibly gorgeous in my clothes…“ he smiled at her like an idiot. Lady just sighed. „Ugh what do I do with you?“ she said as she ran though his hair. Dante leaned in, to hide his face into her chest. It just gave him a sense of comfort and warmth „I don’t know… I know I can be a hell of a mess but just know you are not obligated to deal with me…“ he said in a melancholic tone „I sometimes wish I had more money to spoil you, or take you out for dinner here and there… heck I even wish I was fully human so you don’t have to deal with my bullshit.“ Dante stayed silent in lady’s arms for a while, while lady tenderly held him in his arms as she was running though his hair. She did gave him some kisses on to his head. „I don’t like it when you talk like that, about yourself… Dante, I love you because you are YOU. I love you regardless on how much money you make or if you’re a demon… you’re my precious idiot… I am so in love with you“

„You’re home my love…“ Claire said softly as she took Jill tightly into her arms, smelling her scent. Jill finally felt like she can let loose. „I‘ve missed you too darling…“ Jill said absolutely exhausted. Claire took a look at Jill’s face, seeing bruises and a cut on her cheekbone. Claire softly brushed over them with her soft and tender hands. “You seem pretty beat up love… let me treat the woun-“ “no it’s nothing just leave it as it is.” She said in a harsher tone she probably didn’t meant. Jill always had the “suck it up” mentality. She hated it when people pitied her. But it wasn’t pity when it came to Claire. It was genuine love and empathy. Claire’s eyes started to glass up “you know you’re really cruel when you’re like that…?” She said as her voice became shaky. Jill just looked away and sighed. She said nothing and head to the bathroom to take a bath. Claire headed to Jill’s backpack to take out her weapons and files. As she cleaned her weapons, she took a deep look at Jill’s favorite combat knife. She once told her that she had this knife since she was in the military. It helped her through near death experiences. It was almost dull and slightly rusted from all the times she sharpened it. The more Claire looked at it, her heart would shatter. „Baaaabe? Can you come over?“ Jill called from the bathroom. Claire puts the knife down, and heads to her partner. „What’s wrong?“ she said at the door way. Jill left out a huge sigh „ugh… babe can you please wash my back? I don’t have the strength for it…“ she said in the most exhausted tone. “Yeah” Claire said softly. She took the loofa and some shampoo and carefully washed her back. Jill’s body was marked with bruises and healed cuts but it did not made her less beautiful. Jill just looked down and rested her head on her knees. She absolutely felt vulnerable but it made her feel like she can let loose. „are you hungry love? I‘ll even cook you your favorite meal…“ as Claire rubbed her. „I‘m fine… I‘m not hungry“ Jill said. „I just wanna go to bed and get some rest…“ Jill felt her fingers through the loofa and just decided to take her hand and kiss it. Her hands brought her so much peace „babe i missed you like crazy during that mission…“ she said as she held Claire’s delicate hand on to her lips. „I‘m so tired of everything…“ Jill absolutely hated being vulnerable, even if it was someone she trusted with her whole soul. „I know you are love…“ Claire said as her eyes started to glass up. „I can’t stand the distance sometimes… every night I just wanna be in your arms…“ she said as voice became shaky. Jill felt absolutely horrible seeing her partner tremble because of her job. „oh baby… I wish a curse upon me for making you cry like that…“ she said as tears rolled down Jill’s face. Claire was quite mad and hurt by those words. „Don’t say such things! Do not talk to yourself like that…!“ she said in a angry yet shaky tone. Without any hesitation, Jill pulled her in for a kiss. Claire was taken surprised by it but it was a soft and tender kiss. Jill pulled her in the bathtub despite Claire having cloths on. But she didn’t mind. Because that kiss made both of their hearts more lighter. „you’re all wet now because of me…“ Jill said in a softer tone. „I don’t mind that…“ said claire as she gave soft kisses around around Jill’s bruised face. „As long as I can have moments like these with you… my heart no longer feels sick…“ said Claire as she kissed her partners new and fresh bruises „my poor baby…“ Claire said as she pouted. Jill giggled and couldn’t resist in this state „you’re the bigger baby here love…“ she said as she leaned into another kiss from her. „Hehe I know… I am”

Maria has always been the promiscuous one. Never looked for anything serious, never looked for a true connection with anyone, never looked for love. She mostly spend her free time looking for the next guy to play around or for the next one night stand. And when she wasn’t doing any of that, she’d mostly spend her money on shopping new clothes or just care about her appearance. Her appearance. It would get all the guys fighting for her attention, even if it was just a Quick Look or smile. Working as a bartender was quite the amusing job for her. The cheers, from the men that got their drinks served and if it was refilled, you were Maria’s next toy. She didn’t knew, whether she should shake her head or just laugh when encountering those men. But other than that, she felt empty inside. Being desired was one thing. But she knew something was missing. Something she never had or knew. What is love anyways? That all changed when she met Angela and Laura. After meeting the two at the orphanage she just couldn’t help but feel something foreign. Something,affectionate. She couldn’t help but be careful and thoughtful around the two, Especially around Angela. She’d listen to Angela talk about the things that brought her joy after escaping. But also, about the pain she endured. Maria felt a wave of devastation and anger coming up to her. She has never felt this way, but she’d really wished she could have been there to stop all the pain Angela endured. She couldn’t help herself and see Angela as a younger sister. Although for Laura, she see’s her like a niece. She always complemented Laura’s drawings, always asked her what her favorite toys or teddy bears were since she liked them the most. She’d always gift her a new toy or a new teddy bear when visiting her. That’s the first time she ever felt something in her life. She knew from that moment on, she had to tone it down with her life. After all, she wants to be a good example for them. Maybe love doesn’t always have to be romantic. Maybe, we all love differently.

Ever since Mary and James got engaged, she had a very special wish. A wish so special, that she was secretly praying for it. She wanted a child. A Daughter. Mary has always been a kind and loving soul and always wanted to give and love. Sadly, James wasn’t very fond of Mary’s special wish. He couldn’t imagine himself having a daughter, let alone a child. He couldn’t see himself as a father figure. He is way to scared he might become a horrible father or let alone not develop any fatherly love.
