Safe in Your Skin

Vergil/Reader

Vergil stands stock still, calculating and cold to anyone else in the world but you. 

Were you foolish for coming closer, or did you know him better than he knew himself. The world was falling apart around the two of you and it grew more hostile as dark gusts and white flashes of death-bleached lightning scattered dangerously near. 

He could make it all go away but a man who’s never hesitated believes stopping this relentless turmoil admits defeat through his entire body.

Why won’t you run? Why won’t you leave? 

Don’t you know being loyal to one is being disloyal to the rest of the world, including you? 

He’s supposed to be better than this, more than this fallen crown and burned child who still lives in that house fire. 

This isn’t what he wanted and surely this couldn’t be your fantasy. 

Vergil hasn’t moved and it’s killing him the way a shark cannot stop navigating the waters where it is the apex creature. 

Your brows are furrowed lightly with this thinly laced concern and doe eyes that only see him. 

Stop it. Just stop it. 

He wants you to leave him in this crumbling palace he’s made of his mind. 

He’s not supposed to love you. 

You’re so close to him that if it weren’t for the cold air from his ragged breaths concealed in his vessel, he might have been a statue. 

“Vergil…” 

Don’t touch him. Don’t make him break. 

Your hands just hover millimeters away from his covered skin and make it up from his arms to his neck, fingers glancing to almost caress his face. 

You know who he is, what he is. He’s not untouchable and trying to intimidate. 

Vergil is afraid. Not of you, but the fact that you aren’t of him. 

“It’s going to be okay.” Your lips sing it so quietly only his veins can hear it, blood pumping furiously into his heart. 

He’s blue and frigid, but you know better. He laments how you do. 

Truthfully, he’s a flame, so intense it’s the color of sapphire, trapped in a glass body that can’t take anymore. 

Your skin against his makes him want to lash out, to take the blade and cut you down like all the demons that have come too near. 

But it’s damning. He couldn’t conjure that desire because it’s the opposite of what he wants. 

You’ve always wanted to give him what he wants, nose bumping against his as you get him to tilt his proud disposition and let him be eye-to-eye with what he truly deserves. 

Those ice blues shatter like the rest of him as his arms wrapped around you, your palm coming to cradle the back of his head, fingers running through winter hair. 

Been replaying DmC for the few free time i have, together with remake 4 and this wacky wahoo aristocratic foie gras The Council (play this..just for the heck of it)

And...I maybe missing something but It's just a thought. But Vergil implanted to us, the audience, and to Dante this Chosen One Narrative... Which is completely subverted by Dante himself, but also if we really look at the Nephilim themselves.

"The only ones that can stop a demon king are Nephilim." "Half angel, half demon, we are Nephilim."

The thing is, they're just powerful enough to thwart at least one too powerful active demon royal.

ANY NEPHILIM must've done that already in the past. Hence their massacre (apologies for the word but.... that's what happened & both Dante and Vergil have everything hinging on them, their the last 2 !!)

What I'm saying is, it's just convenient that it's just the two of them left.

I don't think Sparda and Eva even meant that they're anything special or the "Chosen Ones".

The way Eva explained why she and Sparda became together because at least, despite the forbidden laws, they freely chose to do so!

And that's the ongoing theme of DmC anyway: freedom through rebellion. Eva and Sparda's love and their want to meet their children, who are forbidden to exist because their higher-ups said so (because, yes, these kids are literally growing to become even more powerful than the forces of both heaven and hell [[and this is the best assumption of WHY they don't want the Nephilim existing, they don't want the power balance tipping over to a new 3rd party, and this is seen as a big problem because both angels and demons are having a war...what the war is even about, that i personally don't know... probably a moral debate that went extremely wrong, where now they want to apply their "morals" against one another, who knows...]]

... anyway their act of love and family, simply wanting their children, who are also a new race, to exist, is an act of rebellion. And they essentially want the new race of Nephilim to be free...

... which brings me to Vergil.

Because for some reason, he actually stands a bit antithetical to both his parents' stance. This became more evident in his dlc's ending.

It's no secret that Vergil actually sees the Nephilim as a race much more worthy than their predecessors, the angels and demons. And therefore, he makes a self-proclamation as a new ruler for being something more special.

Two things:

1. Someone special CAN lead. Someone who has leadership qualities can definitely lead. But not because of one's special circumstances suddenly and automatically equates that they should lead.

2. .... What the hell Vergil??!!? I think this is an ongoing issue among reboot fans anyway: what was it that made Vergil have this ideology?

With already the presumption that Ninja Theory was unable to shed anymore light to Vergil because a.) They're already not wanted by a hardcore audience, and Capcom was already seeing the temperature....so they had to pack their bags and leave.. and b.) The way they structured DmC was basically awaiting for a sequel (which will never happen). And it seems with the dlc being Vergil, the sequel likely was going to transition more to who Vergil was, and who he had become... Which will never happen😔

The best I can interpret is that, since he had been adopted into a human family with a much more well-off social status, perhaps this is where Vergil saw the unethical and depraved side of humanity, the ones who can afford to get away with anything.

So if he had more power and control over humanity, he'd essentially be controlling the richest and most powerful humans, and maybe make them benevolent or..you know, make them do other concepts about responsibly handling their power and resources.

... anyway uhh I guess Vergil's idea of a Chosen One is being the best elected royal of the world ?😌?? 😅

open to conversations because honestly, the 3 games I'm playing actually have similar themes about how to handle power so ehh

boop!
