Hey everyone here's chapter #6 hope you enjoy it and thanks to _goblin_child_ this wouldn't be possible without you :)
Your next date is a lot more casual. You and Nero went to a field, you wanted to play some baseball before the summer season ends.
He isn’t being fair at all, he was beating you to say the least and he couldn't be more happy about it.
You are just throwing balls, and he always manages to hit them, too far away for you to even reach.
After the sixth ball you went to him. “You can’t do this Nero.”
“I think I can” He says in response provoking you, the next thing he does is making you spin around and land in his arms, his chin resting on your shoulder.
You want to kiss him, but then the rest of the crew comes.
Nero lets you go instantly feeling shy about how he was holding you, he hadn't spoken to them about you, but he intends to.
You pass by Nero, giving him a deadly glance, he still was going to pay for all the suffering he put you through before the game.
Trish, Lady and Dante made a team, Nico, Nero and you made the other.
You throw the first ball to Trish which landed just in Nero's hands.
"Out" Nico yells.
"Come on Trish, we both know you can do better.”
"It's a friendly game Dante, so hold yourself a little" She winks an eye and passes the bat to Lady who makes the first home run of the day.
You ended up losing, it made sense after all, you were the weakest team.
Your shirt is drenched in sweat and even then Nero doesn’t seem to care.
You don’t feel comfortable enough but when he suggests to go to his apartment to take a shower and watch a movie, you thought it was a great idea.
The movie night became more than that, Nero ends up talking about his father, how he didn't know until a few months before, how Vergil didn't know about his existence as well.
You learn that Nero hasn't had any recent news of him and even when he says he doesn’t care at all, you know he cared.
It was his father and Nero wasn't a bad person, he was a sweet boy after all these layers of him.
You hug him for being honest with you, it is a difficult thing to do, but he feels comfortable enough around you.
Nero is by your side when you reopen the club one week later.
A lot of old friends from your father come to show their support.
It’s full, and it still is one month after.
Then one night, when a group of demons came trying to kill you, they end up hurting you in the process. It would have been deadly if Nero didn’t show up a couple of minutes after the attack.
He blames himself, there was no other reason the demons would come for you. They were always causing trouble wherever he was and he knows they came smelling Sparda's blood that night.
You were sent to a hospital, ordered to stay at least four days until the check ups come back. Thankfully, you don’t have damaged internal organs but you still know you look terrible on the outside with a lot of scratches and bruises.
Nero stays with you all the time, making sure you eat at least three meals a day, that you sleep enough to recover and even makes sure that your pillow is in the right position.
But when you came back to your house, he wasn't feeling it, Nero is so silent, deep in his own thoughts and you confront him.
You fight that night, and the next one, he yells at you for the first time, telling you how better it would be if he didn't show up at the club again.
You were hurt, not by the way he told you to stay away from him, but because he didn't have the courage to stay with you.
Yes, you know exactly how dangerous being a demon descendant is, but you also know that staying away from him was even worse.
When he gets out of your house, still mad at you for not being aware of the situation, you make your best effort not to cry. The only man you have cried for being your father.
You don’t call him, not even once, you are sure that he will show up at any moment, but he never did, not in a week.
To say that it didn't break you was a lie, it breaks everything inside of you.
Maybe you hadn't fallen in love yet, but he has become an important person in just a couple of days, he was caring and he made you feel better about everything.
How you wish you haven't met him at all that day, yeah, that would have been a lot better than being sad, watching movies all alone.
Nero didn't call you the next month as well, and that was the moment when you realize you need to give up on him.
