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.

If I thought letting you hurt me would not hurt Vergil I would happily allow you to pursue that comfort.

[He presses his fingers to the wound, aether glowing in his hand as he heals it.]

I am not opposed to such twisted thoughts. They are somewhat natural in your position.

"You are confused about the nature of demons still? It is more than somewhat natural.

Again I will do as I so choose."

You. Specifically. I have felt your fear and loneliness. And the sadism is genuine certainly. But so is your longing.

You do not need to reject it, or deny it to me. But I will not press. My goal is to give you company. To assure you you are not forgotten or unloved. Defeat has not made you worthless. I hope some day you may come to realize it has only strengthened you to become whole.

He's silent, turning that over without acknowledging it. Probably as expected. Or about as good as can be expected really, at least it's not anger or denial.

Instead after a while the roots pull you in, folding around you much like they do over his own body, but specifically to keep you bound to him.

[He squeezes Urizen's hand and if the roots allow, cuddles in, arm wrapping around him, keeping hold of his hand. And not struggling at being bound this way. It's actually making him blush again. The intention to hold him close both endearing and embarrassing for how he likes it.]

Maybe...maybe you can cuddle a giant demon.

Yes in fact you can. His other hand lifts, and lands on your head, but even though it's heavy that's the worst of it. His fingers and claws thread in your hair. Unfortunately Vergil is soft.

[Mission success, cuddles achieved. He practically purrs at the hand in his hair and lifts the other hand to his lips to kiss soft palm. Just relaxing against Urizen like he belongs here.

Because, doesn't he?]

It's just nice to know someone is going to accept every part of him. Vergil likes being a demon, so he doesn't have a problem with Urizen. Even if he doesn't need all the things that side represents so much anymore. He knows it's a problem for his family and the things he did are objectively bad. But he doesn't feel guilty? Obviously not something he can normally say though.

And he hates having to curate anything for others. So. This feels very nice. It's probably letting you get away with far more than should be. Congratulations on truly melting Vergil's heart, even Urizen letting you kiss. Guess this is yours, that's the way it is.

A spindly little tree grows up out of the ground with long reaching branches that stretch out to you. One of them stops right in front of your face and grows a single blood red flower. Probably actually made of blood. But it looks and feels normal! For you.

[Oh. He does blush to match that flower. Reaching for the flower and plucking it gently, tucking it in his hair.]

Thank you.

[Because he doesn't care what Vergil has done. Just that he is happy and feels accepted. And has anyone ever told Urizen thank you for anything?]

They sure haven't!! It's weird. It's really weird. But flower goes in hair exactly as intended, and the tree shrivels up into nothing, scattering like ashes.

Of course he still doesn't acknowledge anything but. How can he, Vergil's brain is breaking. He does pet your hair very idly though.

[Why wouldn't anyone just thank a genocidal demon king???

He rests his head on his shoulder, humming contentedly at the petting, squeezing his fingers, voice soft.]

For existing as well. I'd like to thank you.

When you're also a genocidal all powerful being, it's easy!

"For existing?" Do not understand.

Vergil in general of course. But you specifically as much as that other half of his soul. Your strength to survive. Your greed and insatiable desire to exist. Your stubbornness. Your power. All you are.

Thank you.

"...I see." Well he doesn't know what to say about that but he doesn't argue. He pauses. Yes, he should be thanked for being part of Vergil and existing actually! "We would be dead if not for me."

[He laughs softly and closes his eyes.]

Mmhm. But that can be said of the other half of your soul as well. I am thankful to both parts. And the whole.

"Had he not intervened there would be only me. Nothing to do with survival." Except for Vergil existing as a whole. But. Whatever that's not the same as making sure living was possible!!

[He lifts his hand to flick Urizen's forehead. Not in the eye though.]

Yes. There would be only you. And I am fond of and glad for you. I love you as part of Vergil. But it is Vergil I love. So I am grateful to that other half as well.

He glares, and those roots curl tighter.

"You should love me." Is he like legally allowed to say the l word? Only because it's for being demanding and entitled.

Hmmm~

[Now he's just being a teasing jerk. He'll try to pull Urizen's face closer.]

Should I? --Ah but you might not get that I am teasing you hm? I do. Is my being with you not proof enough?

Well up close like that you can see his charm point which is: snaggle teeth, like a cat, because Vergils are cats.

"I will not abide your mocking." Won't he?? So placated like this??

[Oh no. Cat. He will kiss his cheek, smug.]

Yet you will abide my teasing.

I love you too, by the way.

Fangs. Pointy little teeth for a demon king cat.

He goes on glaring! "I said no such thing."

[How is he so cute!]

Mmhm.

[That earns a gentle kiss on the mouth.]

Hey. Show some respect! There's a rumbling, displeased noise. But he doesn't actually stop you...all bark and no bite.

"Watch yourself."

[That earns a chin kiss, just going to shower this demon in soft affection now.]

Why should I?
