Fluffcember #30 (Vergil x Reader)
You huffed out a nervous sigh, legs actually trembling as you made your way down the road to the beachside cliff where Vergil had agreed to meet you. The plan was simple: Get him over there, admire the view over a bottle of wine, and then pop the question. Easy, right?
Your brain sure didn't think so.
You were basically a pile of anxious nerves; your stomach burned with anticipation, giving you that feeling commonly referred to as "pins and needles". Your mind was swirling with a storm of crazy possibilities, each imaginary outcome worse than the last. You sucked in a shaky breath, clenching your fists tightly in an attempt to calm yourself, one that didn't work. If anything, it made you feel worse; your heartbeat increased by several pulses per second and your mind started to feel foggy. Uneasily, you reached into your pocket and pulled out the small velvet case that contained the engagement ring you were going to present. The ring was made of silver, a 1 carat diamond sat at the very center, glistening in the sunlight. With a determined sigh, you snapped the case shut and slid it into your pocket. You were going to do this, nerves be damned. With newfound confidence, you strode down the road and soon reached the agreed-upon rendezvous site: A beautiful, grassy cliff that overlooked a sprawling, glittering, yellow sanded beach. Beyond the beach was the sea, pelagic and frothy, waves gently crashing against the shore, dampening the sand in the process. Your bread hitched when you saw who was waiting for you at this senic location.
He looked as handsome as ever, standing there, admiring the view. Upon your arrival, he turned to you and smiled that heart-melting smile of his. "Good evening, Y/N." Your earlier resolve instantly evaporated; just beholding this man's beauty was enough to make your knees weak. "Hi...Vergil." You greeted, meekly, before quickly realizing that was not the appropriate response for such a greeting. "I-I mean good evening to you as well, Vergil..." You hastily corrected yourself before hurrying to stand next to him so you could hide your growing blush, or so you thought. Vergil smirked and took your chin delicately in his hand, tilting your head so you'd have no choice but to endure that searching, soul piercing glare. "You're blushing," Vergil stated, the sweet smile still present on his face. You averted your gaze, fidgeting with your fingers absently. "I am..?" You asked, trying not to seem too jittery. "Must be because you're looking so fine tonight." Sure, it was a rather clichéd and overused line, but it worked. Vergil released you with a huff of contentment; his response to compliments. He then reached down and pulled a wine bottle and two bottles out of a bucket filled with ice cubes. With minimal effort, he popped the cork out and divided the wine into the two glasses. The two of you sat down on the grass, arms around each other, enjoying the view while sipping the wine. "Lovely place you picked out, Y/N," Vergil remarked, after some time. "You think so?" You replied, grinning happily. "Thanks." Vergil slung an arm around your shoulder and squeezed it gently. "You have wonderful taste." You chuckled, resting your head on his shoulder. "Thank you." Vergil smiled again, kissing your forehead softly. "I love you, Y/N. Very much." You chuckled, feeling pins and needles reform in your stomach. "Well, now's a good time as any," You thought, pulling away and standing up, much to Vergil's confusion. "Verg," You began, sucking in a deep breath. "I have something to ask you." Vergil's brow furrowed as he stood up and folded his arms before you. "Sure, what is it?" You cleared your throat, dropped to one knee, and fished the velvet box out of your pocket. You held it up in front of him and opened the box, showcasing the beautiful ring within. Your nervousness gone, you finally asked the question you'd been waiting all night to ask.
"Vergil, will you marry me?"
Vergil's icy blue eyes widened in surprise, his mouth dropping open ever so slightly. "Y/N..." He gaped at you for a few moments before nodding decisively. "Yes. Yes, I will marry you." An elated grin spread across your face as you plucked the ring out of the box and slid it onto his finger. Then you stood up and kissed him, feeling him wrap an arm around your waist protectively. "I love you so much, Y/N." He said, once you'd pulled away. "I love you too, Vergil." You replied, throwing your arms around his shoulders. "This ring is beautiful." Vergil remarked, raising his hand to the sunlight so the diamond shone and glittered like the magnificent jewel it was. "Not as beautiful as you," You returned, kissing his cheek. "But I'm glad you liked it."
It was official: The night had gone well, the plan worked, and Vergil was now your fiance.
