A/n: just a fluff chapter that's all. Next one will have some action.

It's been a few months since the birth of V and already Y/n and Vermila could tell he was smart, as in the only thing stopping him from world domination was a magic baby gate, Nero having to focus on school, and that the Devil Arms were locked up. The small baby was currently being snuggly wrapped in a baby sling around Vermila's chest. The baby Vitellius was in a purple and black onesie.

"So why are we here exactly?" Nero asked from on top of Y/n's shoulders. He may be 11 now but the young hunter enjoyed the height.

A/n: alright so I don't know when Nero's birthday is so I'm going with that it was the same as the Roman emperor Nero

"Well young Padawan it's almost summer and that means swimming. And I'm sure I don't need to remind you what happened to your last pair of swimming trunks." Y/n said wearing his clothes from Mallet Island, personalized with a patch of two wings one feathery and white and the other black and scaly. It was an image imprinted across the shoulder blades on the back of the coat.

"No need to be reminded." Nero shuttered at the memories. Nero and Y/n were on a job and we're hunting a demon who was inhabiting a nearby lake. As they were searching for it the devil snuck up behind them and grabbed Nero lifting him into the air by his swim trunks before throwing him and tearing the shorts.

"Vitellius also needs some summer attire, along with new clothes. He is growing fast." Vermila finished as they walked through the sliding doors. The blast of cool air as a vacuum was created caused V, Nero, and Y/n to laugh as it hit them messing up their hair. Vermila couldn't help but smile at her families childish antics. "Alright, first Y/n take Nero to get trunks and meet me by the baby aisle."

"You got it hun."

"Onward!" Nero said as they took off towards the swimwear. Vermila made her way towards the baby aisle. In the recent months Vermila had become more comfortable in public, though she was still a far bit from the average person's ability to communicate to others.

"Now, baby clothes." Vermila said with determination.

-small time skip brought to you by Dante being dragged out of the shop by Lady-

The family was walking through the store trying to find the floaties. Y/n wanted them because they were fun and Vermila because it was like her favorite chair but in the water.

"If we're reading the signs right they should be over here somewhere." Vermila said. Y/n saw something that caught his eye and so did Nero as they both wondered down an aisle. "Y/n do you see them? Y/n?" Vermila didn't get a response so she turned around to see her husband and first born are no where to be seen. Tracing back her steps she soon walks upon Y/n and Nero staring down each other with a foam sword in each of their hands.

"Father I have come to take over throw your rule!"

"Ohohoho my dear child you dare oppose me!" Y/n and Nero launched at each other at speeds not anyone else could see. Except Vermila, who saw the two clash in a flurry of foam bladed strikes. Y/n would move fluently with every movement a purpose wether to block or strike, his years of fighting shown in his unorthodox style. Nero's own style was still choppy having less experience, but that didn't mean he couldn't hold his own. But Nero was still in his stage of learning in which he was finding his own style it was obvious to Vermila.

Nero would slash at Y/n, as the older hunter would pretty much dance out of the blades way. Y/n slashed at Nero, but the young tribrid jumped back landing on the shelves.

"I have the high ground!"

"You underestimate my power!" Y/n jumped up to attack but, Nero then quickly pivoted on his foot. Blocking Y/n's attack, only to be hit with the other sword. Nero got smacked in the side while Y/n got stabbed. Y/n and Nero fell, one landing on the floor the other back on the shelves.

"Not bad, wouldn't you say Vermila." Y/n said looking up at his wife.

"Indeed, but I can clearly see who trained him." Vermila picked up her own foam sword, this one resembling a Katana after handing Vitellius to Nero. Nero simply held the baby as he saw his father get up.

"Well it was the least I could do to stop Dante from trying." Y/n said as he stood up.

"Quite the theatrics you two performed, gathered quite a crowd." Vermila gestured towards the kids that have gathered around because of the commotion.

"I've noticed, so why don't we give them a show." Y/n said.

"I already planned on it." Vermila quickly jumped back unleashing a judgement cut. Y/n positioned his swords to block her attacks before he rushed at the Blue Devil. Vermila rushed in as well parrying one of Y/n's foam blades while dodging the other, countering with the pummel of her weapon to the Nephalem's face. Y/n recovered quickly jumping back with a flip as Vermila unleashed a Judgement Cut x10.

"Royalguard!" Y/n guarded against the onslaught of slashes. Before getting into a position similar to Vermila's while pushing his hair back. "Darkslayer!"

Vermila not giving him a chance rushed forward into a rapid slash, but Y/n jumped into the air releasing an Executioner slash swinging out both swords as he landed. Now Vermila tricked out of the way rushing at Y/n. Y/n jumped away from his wife's swings but she was on his tail quickly taking back whatever ground he'd make. Y/n dodged and blocked Vermila's strikes trying to find an opening but she struck before he could. It was clear who was the fastest of the two was, but Y/n had a slight upper hand in the strength department. Timing it just right Y/n caught her sword with the sword in his left hand and locked it at the guard. And forced it out of the way bringing the foam blade in his right hand to her neck.

"I win." Y/n smirked confidently.

"Check again," Vermila said with a smirk of her own. Y/n didn't know how or when but somehow Vermila had grabbed a second blade and held it at his neck. "This is what one would call a draw."

"Indeed." Y/n lowered the toy as Vermila did before placing the plastic and foam weapons back in the box they were in before. "Now where are those tubes?"

"Four aisles over." Nero responded as he jumped from the shelf, landing with a laughing V.

"Great." Vermila and Y/n said as they walked off with the basket of their things. Leaving behind several awestruck kids that had to tell someone about the crazy battle that went down.

-time skip brought to you by Dante on a motorcycle-

"Who needs lights in their shoes?" Y/n said.

"I know it completely gives away your location." Nero continued.

"Not to mention they don't seem very durable."

"Or provide very much traction."

Nero and Y/n stared at the shoe rack. It's not like they needed any with Y/n having Agni and Ruda while Nero's boots were still in good condition. They were looking just to look.

"Vermila/Mom can I get a pair?" Father and son asked in unison.

"Don't be foolish."

"Agabbaba!" V responded.

-another time skip brought to you by Dante losing most of his money to Lady-

Dante was tired of being in debt to Lady. He just took care of some motorcycle demon and barely got paid for it. Sitting at his desk Dante leaned back figuring he'd take a nap.

"We're home!" Y/n's voice caused Dante to peek at the Nephalem as he and Nero walked in soon followed by Vermila and V.

"Nice kicks!" Dante snorted out seeing that Y/n had f/c lights flashing on his shoes. Nero had lights that flashed red and blue.

"Don't be jealous." Y/n said tossing a box to Dante. "We even got you a pair."

Dante opened to box and there they were, a pair of shoes with red flashing lights. Then the Devil hunter noticed something out of the corner of his eye. A blue light was blinking as Vermila clicked her heels together causing her own pair of shoes to light up. A similar purple light was emanating from Vitellius's baby sneakers. The same childish joy on both their faces, interrupted by the flash of a camera.

"Thank goodness Trish left this here." Dante said as the temperature suddenly dropped.

"Y/n hold Vitellius." Vermila said coldly as she handed her baby to her husband. Y/n quickly took the baby and held him.

"You/I should run." Y/n and Dante said. The Red Devil quickly jumped up from his chair as his sister gave chase.

"DANTE MUST DIE!!!" Vermila shouted as the flash of her blue sneakers was there only thing seen as she ran after Dante.

A/N: well there was that hope you enjoyed. I'm figuring out some ways to fill in the space between games if you have any fun ideas tell me I enjoy reading yours, the readers comments. Anyhow cíao!
