Summary
Of course his chest ached when he saw how Dante had suffered, knowing that it could have been avoided if Vergil had just let himself go back to the human world with his twin all those years ago. Of course his chest ached when he thought about how Lady and Trish commented that those beautiful, blinding smiles came easier, were more freely-given, felt more genuine, ever since Vergil had come back.
That ache was understandable, a mere product of roiling emotions that he'd tamped down and repressed for years only to find their way to the surface again. The sudden, gripping pain that felt as though something had wrapped around his heart, that started squeezing every time Vergil thought about how content he was just to have Dante fall asleep in his lap? That was not understandable, and felt so much more physical and real than any emotional pain he'd ever experienced before.
Something was very, very wrong.

Summary
After their return from the demon world, Vergil moves in at Devil May Cry, and Dante is overjoyed. However hard it was before, that doesn't matter, now that he has his brother back. He'll even admit to himself, if not to Vergil, that he's giddy in love like a schoolgirl.
When Vergil is around, that is. Whenever he leaves, Dante falls apart.

Summary
One year after the events of Carrion Flowers, Dante and Vergil have begun settling into what might even be called a peaceful life. It's a bit boring, yes, and Dante is a terrible housemate, but Vergil thinks he might be able to get used to this.
And then, of course, hell comes knocking.

Summary
“I have a suggestion,” Vergil says, and Dante raises an eyebrow at that, tilting his head back so it’s resting on his twin’s shoulder and he’s able to see the side of his face, upside down though it may be.
“Hit me.”
“How does petty revenge sound."
(Post-DMC5. They're already in the underworld, so what better time to march right up to Mundus' front door and kick his ass, right? Dante figures this should be pretty easy, since he's beat the guy once already--except it's not, because why would it be, nothing in his life has ever been easy. Between Vergil's unstable mental state and their mutual refusal to have a proper conversation, it's going to be a miracle if they even survive long enough to confront the king of hell.)
