( Well leave it to big brother to clock it so easily. Thatโ€™s how theyโ€™ve always been with each other though. A twin thing, maybe. Dante being able to read his brother like an open book just as much as Vergil can read him. Itโ€™s infuriating sometimes but also appreciative others when neither really want to speak about whatโ€™s troubling them. They can more or less take a stab in the dark and get it right every time. Even now. Some things donโ€™t ever really seem to change.

He rolls on his side towards his brother. Lays there in silence, hand still there holding to his brother where he normally would his bear when he was little. When he finally comes to speak, itโ€™s soft โ€” vulnerable and almost as if itโ€™s meant for no one else but Vergil to hear. )


Iโ€™m scared, Verge. Scared of what could happen if I lost control.

( Maybe he wouldnโ€™t really be able to hurt his brother much. But Nero? Anyone else? If he ever did, heโ€™d never forgive himself and already has a lot he doesnโ€™t necessarily forgive himself for as it is, regardless of whether or not it was really his fault.

He tells his brother this not because heโ€™s looking for a lecture or a reason to brush him off. But because heโ€™s his brother and heโ€™s scared. )
