idolpro | Vergil's heart game r2

You feel weak, your body won't move no matter how you try, and you are falling, away from everything you know and love. Away from everything you need to accomplish. If you could just reach out, maybe you could hold on to it, claw your way back. But it's a useless endeavour, you fall unconscious, and your mind goes blank except for poetry and a familiar voice.

O mother Enitharmon, wilt thou bring forth other sons?
To cause my name to vanish, that my place may not be found,
For I am faint with travail,
Like the dark cloud disburden'd in the day of dismal thunder.

My roots are brandish'd in the heavens, my fruits in earth beneath
Surge, foam and labour into life, first born and first consum'd!
Consumed and consuming!
Then why shouldst thou, accursed mother, bring me into life?

You wake on the ground in a cave, cold, wet, and sticky. It smells of rotting flesh. Your objective is clear, but you can't recall a name or face. Nothing else about your memory of him is changed, but for some reason the name "Vergil" just won't come to you, and you couldn't describe how he looks if your life depended on it. But at least your body starts to respond to your will, slowly regaining enough strength to carry on.

That feels nice. He pulls you closer, setting his head on your shoulder. "Hah... It's difficult not to think of that as being seen as weak. But it is comforting."

Needing others, wishing to feel loved and protected, that is not weakness. It is just existing.

[He will cuddle though. Petting this demon man.]

Just cuddle inside his heart with his demon form that was supposed to try to make you stay, as you do.

"Hmm, but if I seem to need so much more?"

How so you mean?

"You say you don't need much protection, but I do. So what does that say about me?"

It says you have a lot of time alone to make up for.

I could point out I am much older as well.

"In that case you have also spent much longer alone."

Not alone. Lonely at times, by choice and trauma, but never truly alone. Not as you have been.

"...I suppose it is a bit different. And I can't hide from you that I am a bit...needy."

I find it rather charming.

"Charming, really now? You have some odd taste. ...That I share. I enjoy when you need me as much as when you come to my aid."

Exactly. It is nice to be wanted. To be needed. To have you cling to me. To be able to take care of you. Just as you wish to be taken care of I wish to care for you.

Naturally the reverse is true for both of us isn't it? It is more difficult for me to accept, but truly it is nice to be needy at you and know you crave out. Crave my unreasonable side as I do your own. To know that whatever I demand you what not just offer, but enjoy offering.

"Ah, you put it well, I do need to remember that as well. That if you feel the same way I do about it, then you must crave it just as much. It is gratifying to be needed, and to be helpful. I suppose I can allow you to feel that."

Just so. It is not one sided. Either part of it. Enjoy it as I do.

He would smile, but, well. Instead his voice sounds calm. "I will, both sides."

Good. I would see you less embarrassed by your own desires at least.

"Oh, but they can be very embarrassing."

Do tell me those as well.

"Hmmm, should I? Are you sure?I know you're just taking advantage of this." Is a reflection of him in this part of his heart capable of lying?? Probably not but that doesn't mean he can't be difficult. For fun mostly.

And why shouldn't I take advantage of it? It's been offered to me so freely.

"Which you're taking advantage of! You could at least be a bit more coy about it." He laughs though.

Oh, would you like me to be coy? Shy perhaps? Would you know what to do if I were shy?

"Why shouldn't I know what to do with shyness?"

Not my usual shyness. Would you even notice if I was shy about intimacy?

"Would that even matter...? It would be quite the change in you, though. How could I not notice that?"
