Vergil Sparda x gn!Reader
Warnings: People are wounded, demon attack, suggestive, no romance (yet)
You had met Vergil after the Qliphot incident, dragged to the Devil May Cry office by Dante. You had taken care of the office while Dante had been absent. They were almost gone for an entire year and their reapperance caught you off guard. Especially since Vergil had decided to join his brothers business. It meant that you started to not only work for Dante but his older twin brother as well.
You lived in red grave and your little sister fell victim to a demon, with that your hatred for demons started. You tried the demon hunting lifestyle, until one day you were overpowered by one. Thats how you meet Dante, he saved you. He then offered you to join Devil May Cry and you accepted without any hesitation and regret, feeling like you owed him something. Even though Dante only needed someone to help him pay the bills of the Devil May Cry office, explaining the job offer, you were grateful for it.
At first you couldn“t stand Vergil after everything you heard about him. He was also really stand off-ish and cold. Not very friendly character traits in your opinion. But your opinion of him quickly changed. Vergil had started managing Dantes finances and his bills were finally paid in regular time stamps. Thanks to this there was a constant water and electricity flow in the office. He sometimes even started conversations with you when you were in the office. They weren“t long or about anything important but it showed you that maybe he was not so bad after all.
The phone on Dantes desk started to ring and since he wasnt in the office, you picked up. A paniced woman was on the other line. She started to ramble about some kind of demon attack and that they needed help. You looked around and started to panic. The only demon hunter in right now being Vergil and you. You wrote down the details and started to call him. As quickly as always he appeared behind you, asking quickly what was wrong. The distress in your tone telling him that something was indeed wrong. You explained what was going on and that you two would have to leave quickly. Vergil was level-headed and calm during your whole interaction and as soon as you were finished packing your equipment, you left via portal.
The feeling of traveling via portal was weird. Never had you done it before, never having a reason to do so. Upon arriving at your destination you found a horrific scene before you. Many people wounded, everything was beaten to a pulp, blood splattered everywhere. The house was almost destroyed, many walls shattered and the roof completly gone. A demon was feasting on an innocent person. You only exchanged a look with Vergil and knew what was supposed to be done. Vergil started to fight the beast, while you started to drag the people out. As soon as everyone was out, you started to tend to the wounds of the wounded victims. Your hands were covered in blood and sweat formed on your forehead. There was not a lot you could do for the victims since you lacked medical training. You tried bandaging them but to no avail, they had to be sewn shut. There was so much blood and the whining of the victims made it almost unberable for you to do anything.
Suddenly a inhuman scream was heard, the demon had been slayin. Vergil stepped out of the house completly fine as if he never fought anything. Tears slowly formed in the corners of your eyes.
"Help me Vergil. We need to get them to a hospital." You sobbed out, desperate. Killing demons had never been hard on you, seeing them in pain even deleighted you. Human pain on the other hand filled you with horror, it always pained you and made you frezze up and unable to think properly. It had reminded you to much of your sister. Vergil put a hand on your shoulder and turned you around, away from the victims.
And from there on you couldn“t remember what happened. You sat there in trance, unable to move or do anything. Vergil once more placed a hand on your shoulder and spoke.
"Lets leave." Looking up at him it revealed nothing to you. Around you there was nothing left of the people that had lain there before, only their blood remaining there. it made you shudder, you felt weak. It was the first time something like that had happened to you. You started to follow Vergil through the portal, still not saying anything. The shock from before still not completly worn off.
"Maybe you should resume your training, that was not quite you-."
"How can you handle seeing all of that? That was complete madness all those people hurt." You started to sob once more completly ignoring his statement from before. He started to talk once more, "The horrors I have already witnessed can not compare to anything you could imagine. It is now something that I am used to and have to life with."
The tears would not stop from running down your cheeks. "I don“t want anyone getting hurt anymore. Help me, help me become stronger so that no one is getting hurt anymore." The tears would not stop from running down your cheeks.
"I don“t want anyone getting hurt anymore. Help me, train me." Vergil was caught of guard by that request.
"You want me to train you? If I do I will not go easy on you. I hope that you are aware." He stared down at you, looking for something in your eyes. What he found was determination under your tearful eyes.
"Fine, we start tomorrow." With that he left you there on the floor of the Devil May Cry office. You did not know, what he did to get help for the victims of the demon attack but deep inside you knew he did the right thing, while you were unable to do anything. You were thankful.
Just like he said training started the next day. Vergil stood before your bed at 5 in the morning, scaring you so much that you let out a scream. Dante appeared out of no where, making sure that nothing happened. What he saw before him satisfied something in him.
"Damn Vergil, didn“t think you were a pervert." Vergil glared at his brother like he wanted to murder him.
"Foolish." Vergil looked away from both of you, a hint of pink on his cheeks. The bickering between them two started, while you just let your head fall back onto your pillow. Slowly getting irritaded by their "lovely" conversation, you demanded that they both left so you could get yourself ready.
Vergil stood at the roof of the Devil May Cry office building, looking as menacly as ever. You were instantly intimidated by this, cowering before him.
"Before we properly start, we need to correct you stance. Everytime I see your stance in a fight, its unsure and easily breakable." You stared at him, understanding his point but at the same time unable to execute it differently. This irritaded him and he stood behind you correcting your stance.
The closeness made your head fill with blood and you practicaly melted into him. Everything he said right over your ear. It made you not pay attention to what he was saying, until he pointed something out.
"Don“t be so flustered about my closeness. The art of fighting is a close one by default."
"I did not think that it would be this close though." You turned your head around while saying that, in order to see him. You were now face to face with him, you felt his breath on your lips. He seperated from you, making distance. You saw his blushing cheeks as he retreated from you. He picked up the yamato that he had put down before you arrived.
"We will continue training some other time, I still have some other business to attend to. Get to rest." Vergil sliced an portal open before dissapearing. This so called "training" would take an interesting turn in the future.
