Vergil dreams of nothingness—a vast and gaping maw of blackness that just stretches on and on as far as the eye can see. It is neither warm nor cold, simply a sense of being without touch, taste smell and sound. It is disconcerting, yet almost as soon as Vergil becomes aware of it the dream is gone and he awakens encased in warmth. A very much alive warmth that is Dante.
They are in Vergil's bed, as far as he can tell, and Dante has decided to cling to Vergil in his sleep. Dante has his head tucked beneath Vergil's chin, their legs are tangled together and Dante even has a wing curled over Vergil's hip. Vergil's tail gives a slight twitch and he finds that that too has been entangled by Dante, the end of it completely and tightly entwined with Dante's own tail.
There is little that Vergil can do to extract himself from their otherwise intimate position, which he honestly doesn't even want to do. It has been far too long since Vergil has gotten to hold Dante, that he doesn't deserve to at this moment but he stays put and basks in Dante's warmth.
After several peaceful minutes Dante begins to stir, his face nuzzling into Vergil's neck while he gives a sleepy purr. It doesn't last at all because Dante stiffens the moment he is fully awake and aware of his surroundings, his tail attempting to lash but to no avail. For several breathless seconds Dante does nothing else…
It's the first time in twenty-four years that Dante has slept without some form of nightmare plaguing him. In fact, Dante hadn't slept so well since they had last shared a bed, making it twenty-five years. Twenty-five long years spent without the comfort of Vergil's touch, without the heat of Vergil's body next to his, without the taste of Vergil on his tongue. Words can't describe the ache that Dante had felt when Vergil had walked out on him without any sort of warning back when they had been eighteen, having spent almost two years together by that point. Two years of a love that had consumed Dante so completely that Vergil's leaving had had nearly left him broken.
Temen-ni-gru had nearly destroyed Dante, had honed that ache in a pain that couldn't be soothed, and then Mallet… Dante's worst nightmares are of his time spent on Mallet. Of having to fight the blackened angel time and time again only to discover the awful truth after the final blow had been dealt by Dante's own hand. That Dante had killed Vergil, his brother, whom he had assumed to be dead after his fall into the Underworld. The only person Dante loves with every breath in his body and every beat of his heart. Dante had been utterly shattered by Mallet—had taken years to finally accept that he would live an incomplete existence—only for his reason to truly live to return in one of the most fucked up ways ever.
Dante had been prepared to kill the horror that Vergil had become but when he had finally found himself standing before Urizen, the demonic half of Vergil, Dante was unable to follow through. Instead Dante had hoped and wished that Vergil would return to him, no matter how monstrous his form had become, until his hand had been pushed at the very last second. Dante had almost killed Vergil again and then V—it should have been so fucking obvious—waltzed right on in for the killing blow. V, with that goddamn book and the poetry that Vergil had so loved spilling from his lips—the human side of Vergil that Dante had been too blind to notice until that very moment—had swooped in and changed everything.
"While thy branches mix with mine and our roots together join."
It is only half of the beginning stanza from William Blake's Love and Harmony Combine, which Vergil had offered to Dante in whole countless times as way to profess his love for Dante—to the point that it is etched into Dante's soul alongside Vergil's name. For V to have used those particular verses, it had shaken Dante in a way that he hadn't expected. Dante certainly hadn't expected just how much it had hurt to hear it, even in part, nor did he expect the sudden and overwhelming urge to fall into Vergil's arms as soon as he had reappeared whole and hale, as if nothing had ever happened. As if Vergil hadn't left Dante twice already. As if Vergil's blood doesn't stain Dante's hands.
So Dante's first reaction upon waking and realizing that he is in Vergil's arms is to panic. That Vergil had implied that he wasn't going to be leaving Dante isn't something that Dante can trust. Not after everything Dante has endured.
…and then he tries to push away from Vergil only to find that he is rather stuck. "Let me go!"
Vergil tries to not focus on the desperation and panic that colors Dante's voice, instead he fixates on the fact that Dante doesn't seem to realize that he now has a few extra limbs to account for. "You have a wing wrapped around me." Vergil's tone is soft as he meets Dante's frightened gaze and he can't help but think how odd it is to see Dante so scared. The expression is quickly replaced by confusion and disbelief but not quick enough. "We did not fully revert from our Trigger forms and we were left with a few of our more demonic features."
