Devil May Cry ship: OC x Canon (Dante X Riri)

The Legendary Devil Hunter and his beloved secretary.

Riri belongs to me

You got it! And don’t worry, I got your second message too :) So here’s a Dante drabble! I changed the quote just a little bit, so I hope that’s okay!

(And for those who want to request a prompt, click here! I will let you know if any are repeats as I have a few waiting to be written after work today!)

#92: YOU’RE SO CLINGY; I LOVE IT.

If there was one thing Dante loved, it was attention. That much was probably obvious to anyone who simply glanced at him for longer than a few seconds. If he wasn’t wearing the Faust hat (which, honestly, when didn’t he?), then it was the Devil Sword attached to his back. Or the demon motorcycle he took with him wherever he could. Or, let’s be real, it was clearly his good looks, stellar charm, and expensive leather jacket.

Vergil would laugh him out the door if he ever heard that. 

But that’s why Dante liked the attention so much; it was something that separated him from his twin. Dante would happily put on impromptu shows or go to a club and dance the night away. Vergil would rather read a book, learn a new language, and knit a sweater (or something else equally as boring. Dante had yet to actually catch Vergil crafting anything, but he also wouldn’t put it past his older twin). 

Boring just wasn’t Dante’s style. 

So, it really wasn’t a surprise that their secretary- hired by Morrison because he “sure as hell wasn’t trusting the finances to Dante” again - was attracted to Dante himself. Him. The Legendary Demon Slayer. Not Vergil. Not the... not-so legendary demon slayer. (Vergil really should work on his branding). But Dante was the one who got the adorably-nervous/curious looks. He was the one who got a stolen kiss in the storage closet where she admitted that she cared for him. She was the one overwhelmingly relieved when he returned the feelings, even though the two had yet to start a real relationship. Regardless, he was the one with someone to shamelessly flirt with. Him. Dante. Not Vergil.

Granted, Verge was already stubbornly smitten with someone else (even though he wouldn’t admit it). But that wasn’t important.

What was important, was the fact that Dante’s poor secretary was very clearly in love with him, but always seemed so hesitant. She wanted to be in the same room as him, yet seemed embarrassed to be too close. She reached her hand out for his numerous times but yanked it back with mumbled apologies. And Dante tried to encourage her, but even he was fumbling around what words to say or what things to do. 

The last thing he wanted to do was dissuade those feelings. 

Because dammit... he loved her too. 

It was Vergil, of all people, who finally clued him in on how to fix this.

“Just tell her the truth.”

Unfortunately, Dante couldn’t argue with that, because that was the exact same thing he had told Vergil months ago. And that same advice is what eventually led to a very committed relationship. So the fact that Dante hadn’t followed the same advice was baffling.

So, the next time he caught her staring at him longingly, he moved to her side with a lazy grin and a nervous thudding in his chest. “Hello, beautiful,” He said as he leaned against the wall. She smiled, her fingers wrapping together around the books in her hand to hide her nerves.

“Hello, Dante,” She said with a smile. “What can I do for you today?”

That time, he hesitated. Was it fair of him to speak to her like this in what was supposed to be a professional relationship? He liked her... and he assumed she liked him. And his shop was a far cry from a regular business-like setting. What’s the worst that could happen?

Rejection, his mind said. 

But he was Dante. The legendary demon slayer. He would not allow his concern to ruin this chance. 

But when he went to open his mouth, she - in a serious bout of confidence - placed a finger to his lips with a coy smile. “You’re the clingy type, aren’t you?”

Dante stared at her, both confused and resisting the urge to laugh. Fitting that this would be the way for this to end. “Is that a bad thing?”

I need some themes to write about~

I've been in a writing mood, and a very DMC mood, so I thought I'd put the two together and write some DMC ficlets.

I've actually been sitting on the idea of writing a DMC fanfic for a while and the ones I'm gonna write will be based off of the idea I had for my fic.

Let me start out by saying what the pairing is, Dante x OC. The genre? Well, it's going to vary. The idea is that I'll write a piece everyday. Some of them might be a little longer than others and some might be kind of short. Basically, each piece will have a sort of theme and I'll write something related to that theme.

Also, for any clarification, I'm going to use the New!Dante. It's going to be a bit of a challenge since the game isn't out yet. Hopefully I don't screw up too badly lol.

With that said, I need some prompts! It could be a song, a phrase, an image. Whatever you like. It could be as silly as you like or it could be serious (hopefully, I actually get some lol)

Even though I said the pairing is Dante x OC, depending on the theme, my OC might not even be in the ficlet at all :P I also have another pairing in here that I threw in because I really wanted to and because Vergil needs some love too! Vergil x OC pairing, because I can. I guess this makes it an AU now ^^;

I'll be posting about my OCs ... in the morning (work made me super tired =_=)
