Chapter Text
The Sparda heirs could believe what they were seeing. The twins looked at each other and looked back at the person in front of them. It was the person they spent their whole childhood with. Though they were very surprised, they were also very happy. Dante just showed it more on the outside, and Vergil showed it more internally. Their old childhood friend was standing in the middle of Devil May Cry with a letter in her hand.
"Hello, Dante and Vergil. Nice to see you two again. Remember me?"

The twins ran through the halls running and giggling. Both of them playing with their wooden swords. Every their swords clashed together one of them come back with a remark. Until it got out of hand and turned into an argument.
"Too slow, Dante," Vergil smirked as he struck his brother's sword, knocking it out of his hands. Dante then fell to the ground staring back at Vergil with anger in his eyes.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. You're too slow!" Dante yelled back slowly getting up. Everything was a contest to them.
"No, I'm not! You are!" Both of them got into each other's face. Both of them ready to fight, and not in a playful way. Just as they were about to go at each other's throats, their father called them.
"Boys please come downstairs. You have a new friend." The boys looked at each other, both sticking their tongues out at one another. Dante pushed his brother aside and ran down the hall to the main room. Vergil following with a frown on his face, stomping as he went. When they finally got to their father he was talking to a young girl. She was about the same age as the boys.
Sparda turned to his boys and held you to his side to keep you from running. You were a shy one, he'll give you that. Even as he held you to his side, you still manage to get almost completely behind his leg. "Boys, I would like you to meet (Y/N). She'll be staying with us for a while. Please do try to get along with her."
From then out the boys became close with her.

" So how have you two been?" You were currently sitting on the couch, water in hand, and feet on the coffee table. You got a letter in the mail from one of your past clients telling you to partner up with the boys at Devil May Cry. You didn't expect it to be the boys you grew up with. In all honesty, you did try finding them. You gave up after a couple months when leads went cold. This might be your chance to repair from what happened after the attack.
"Really? You truly are a foolish woman if that's the first question you ask." Vergil's eyes glared at you. He didn't believe it was you. How did you somehow end up here? It just didn't make sense. He wanted to believe after years of separation that you were finally back. As Vergil was glaring at you, Dante hit him in the back the head. That earned him a glare as well, but he just smiled it off.
"Ease it, Verg. It's been awhile for all of us." Dante said while he turned back to you and gave you smile. This reminded you of when you were children. He would always be on your side, and eventually, he would get Vergil to be on the same page.
~~~~~~~
The three of you just got into an argument about how you would play Princess and Knights. You didn't want to be the princess anymore. You wanted to be a knight. Vergil was against the thought and Dante was a little bit. Though Dante was on your side like always.
"I don't want to be a princess anymore. I just follow you guys. I don't actually get to fight. It's not fun anymore." You pouted and crossed your arms. Dante tried to cheer you up and put a hand on your shoulder.
"You're a girl. You have to be a princess. You can't be a knight. That's for the boys. How else would we play?" Vergil pouted and crossed his arms too.
"Why don't one of us be the prince? Just give her one turn, Verg. You can't say no to that face, can you?" Dante smiles and grips your cheeks. This gave you fish lips along with your furrowed brows. Vergil turned his head to the side and scoffed. He eventually gave up.
"Fine. I call being the prince though."
"Yay!" You and Dante screamed happily in unison.
~~~~~
"To tell the truth, it hasn't really been the best for us. Though it is getting better. Even better now that you're here. I'm glad you're safe after all these years. I thought we lost you. We thought we lost you." Dante's smile became more solemn while he talked.
You stood up from your spot and walked over to him. You both stared at each other for a second. You gently put your hand on his shoulder. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm not leaving either of you. Not again, not ever."
Vergil gave you a long stare before getting up. He slowly walked towards you. Some part of him believed this was true. While the other part of him thought this was false. You held out your hand to him. They both mattered to you, and you wanted to let him know that. As Vergil touched your hand you pulled him into a side hug. Dante got up and joined too. You buried your face into Vergil's chest. Both the boys tightened their hold on you. Of course, Dante had to ruin the moment.
"I'm hungry. Let's order pizza."
"Oh my god."
"You truly are an idiot."
"What did I do wrong?"
You missed this a lot. You wouldn't give this up for the world. These boys were your's, and you were theirs.
