🧙 WHO: Nero, Kyrie and Vergil
⚔️️ WHAT: Dead weight invites deadbeat dad over for dinner. It's awkward.
🕒 WHEN: Early March
🗺️ WHERE: Nero and Kyrie's place
⚠️ WARNINGS: As always, Nero's potty mouth. Nothing else yet!
[It took a lot for Nero to get nervous. Fighting demons? No problem. Hunting monsters? Also easy. Punching Dante? Fine. But, for the first time in Nero's life, he's doing something as normal as inviting a parent over for dinner. Not only that, but to meet Kyrie.
To make matters more complicated, he's keenly aware that Kyrie has every reason to hate, or at least, to fear Vergil. Even if she's too kind for the former, he can still imagine the latter, with what must be surely etched into her memory of the day she found Nero bleeding out in their garage. Maybe this whole thing is selfish, and a bad idea.
But he wants to give Vergil -- to give his father -- a chance. He has a family now, and he's determined to try and make it work. Which is why Vergil has been invited around. As always Kyrie takes charge of cooking, while Nero helps prepare the food and makes sure the place looks tidy (or at least, as tidy as it's ever going to be, with two kids and a dog around). The rest is just a waiting game, with Nero pacing around checking his phone, looking an irritated mixture of both impatient and almost ready to call the whole thing off.]
He should be here any minute... [Nero advises Kyrie, even if he's not convinced. Maybe he'll show up late, if he shows up at all. Who knows?]
