Summary
“It’s of no consequence,” he interjects.
They both fall quiet. They both know that’s not true.
“Vergil,” she says softly. “You know it’s alright to not be okay.”

Summary
All nine year old Nero wanted to do was play hooky from school with his friends. Getting dragged to Hell by a hellhound wasn't in his plans, nor the revelations that came afterwards.

Summary
If you're in some bad lighting and squint just enough, a Hellhound looks almost like a dog. That can make them hard to kill. At least, Nero thinks so. His father is much more concerned about having one in the house.
Set post-Icarus; helps to have read the main story first, but can be read standalone.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Most do,” I admitted. “But at the same time, most demons do not believe in ‘family,’ or they do not know it as a concept. We’re a rare sort, Nero. Few demons feel anything in seeing death - whether that of human strangers or others of their kind.”
“I suppose this makes us better than them,” Vergil said as he reached up to brush the tears from Nero’s cheeks. “But it does make life more painful to care about others. You care a great deal, Nero. That’s… good, but that doesn’t mean we can look after demons who are likely to eat you. Unfortunately, they will not appreciate the effort.”
“Okay,” Nero huffed. “We can put it back outside, but I want a snake.”
Vergil’s temporary relief vanished as quickly as it had appeared. “You what?”
“Nonno said I got a dog if we put it back out, but I don’t want a dog. I want a snake, a really big one.”
“That’s not what he said!” I found myself once again pinned under a venomous glare from my son, so I went back to sipping my tea. “You’re not getting a snake, Nero.”
“Then I’m not putting the demon back outside.”
“Nero, this isn’t a bargain.”
“What about a lizard?”
“Well, you already have your father for that,” I noted. Nero realized the truth in my statement and nodded along just as a summoned sword smashed my teacup to pieces.

Summary
Exhaling, you notice that you have the middle seat– once again not something that was a voluntary choice, it was one of the only seats left. Your eyes finally move from the overhead to your seat…which is between two men.

Bookmarker's Notes
People were starting to get up as soon as the plane landed, eager to get their bags from the overhead. All the while, Nero’s still asleep, and Dante’s tapping his fingers on his knees.
Still seated, you bend down, reaching to grab something. Dante watches as you continue to look for whatever you can’t happen to find.
“What’s wrong? Did you lose something?” he asks, with half a smile, and a bit of concern.
“Yeah,” you breathe out, sitting back up, “I happened to lose my phone number, can I have yours?” you ask, handing him your phone so he can enter his number.
Dante’s mouth opens and closes, a bit appalled at your pick up line. In the end, he musters a small laugh, “Of course, sweetheart.”
The silver haired man doesn’t waste a second entering his number into your phone.

Summary
The way you walk out of his door, leaves a pit in his stomach. And even after eating the strawberry sundae— that you bought so sweetly for him— leaves a bad taste in his mouth.
