Vergil, despite all the horrors that happened throughout his life, he kept his childhood book.
I have a twin brother, sir. We fight over things often, so I have to write my name on things to make them truly mine.
A book he constantly used to hide from Dante so the latter wouldn't touch it, let along borrow it. A book he loves as much as Yamato.
However, he had no second thoughts about it when he decided to give the book to Nero.
🔹️We all know that Vergil's social skills are not exactly his forte, and who can expect otherwise when he spent almost all his life in the underworld?
I'm sure the news of having a son was a shock, but he tried to at least give Nero something special that belonged solely to him. No Yamato, because he would need it to fight in the underworld, but the second special thing that kept him sane for the past thirty years.
Hoping the next time Vergil and Nero meet, his son would have kept the book. Because then Vergil would understand if his son wants to have him in his life or not.

Doing some simple headcanons helps to get the creative juices flowing. So this is something I’ve worked on in between all the projects I have. If I ever felt like I hit a wall, or just need to warm up before starting a piece, I just pop over and start doing a head canon. Here’s what I got for you lovelies.
NSFW-ish under the cut!

I was just thinking about how Nero calls Dante a bastard after he called him dead weight, even though Nero was publicly denounced as a bastard child of a prostitute for basically his entire life...and it made me realize something.
Some of Nero’s most painful childhood memories stem from being called a bastard child. Not only was he already considered the lowest of the low in greater Fortunian society, but even the orphans themselves — kids who were essentially outcasts, just like him — condemned him for being the unwanted byproduct of an alleged affair.
And when all you ever hear about yourself is how worthless and unwanted you are...that sticks with you. It lingers in the back of your mind and haunts you for years after the fact. It makes you second guess and doubt yourself, even when you know in your heart that it isn’t true. That kind of emotional abuse can influence a person’s behavior for the rest of their life. It changes you, for better or for worse.
You know how your brain sometimes links certain words, objects, colors, sounds, etc. to certain memories? Well, I think Nero has subconsciously linked the word “bastard” to the coldest, cruelest, most heartless people he’s ever known. This, in turn, means that he would only use it to describe someone who did something equally cold, cruel, and heartless— like Dante calling him dead weight after all the hell he’s been through, after losing his own arm to the demon they were fighting, after all the things Dante did for him to help him get this far.
I don’t personally imagine Nero and Dante being particularly close in the years between DMC4 and 5, but Dante did help Nero start his own Devil May Cry branch, and that ultimately helped him find a much happier life with Kyrie away from The Order. In the end, Nero wouldn’t have gotten where he was today without Dante, so Nero’s bound to have built up a high level of respect and trust for him. But when Dante calls Nero dead weight in the heat of battle, all that respect and trust is suddenly broken.
Who can blame Nero, then, for calling Dante a bastard, when he heard him say right to his face that he was worthless and unwanted — just like he always heard as a bastard child?
((I thought of this earlier today and it’s had me fucked up ever since. Someone please give this poor boy a hug, Nero deserves better 😭💔))
I did a poll on instagram asking if they wanna see this crossover, that’s why these dorks ended up here
