[ dante did not wake up expecting to get fucking read today, but here we are. ]
have you asked him to be honest? like i said, vergil can be a real idiot sometimes and you gotta beat him over the head with the blunt stick before he realizes shit. though if i'm to be honest you've likely hit the head on the nail, a lot of that sounds like things vergil generally doesn't like. the one thing i do know is that vergil is never going to use that leverage on you, regardless of everything you're someone he cares about deeply and he likes having you around. he knows what it is like to be forced to do something against his will. he won't do that to you.
well good thing is isn't ever going to come down to you or me, huh?
[ why do people keep saying that to him??? they're not wrong but he doesn't like people saying it. ]
[ the king's eyes see everything and that's why he's a viable candidate for Grand Caster ]
I've never had to ask him to be honest before; he just is because his tongue doesn't know how to hold itself in his mouth.
and since we don't have the sort of relationship where he'd volunteer that sort of information, no, I had no idea or context for his personal hangups, but. I'm also someone who's well aware of the lines people will cross in the devil's circumstance.
ideally. but the fact is there, writ in stone.
[ because you both keep doing this weird jealous dance around anyone your brother gets close to like there's ever going to be another option between the two of you--even when you were ready to fight each other to the ground, you'd die hand in unlovable hand given the opportunity, ever the keeper for the other.
the false modesty is a little weird and a little insulting to people who're very orderly and open about what their priorities are. ]
then he's got some of his wires crossed thinking he can't be honest or something. beat him over the head with the stick.
he's not going to talk about it but he spent roughly ten years under the thumb of a real prick of a demon, i can promise you that is a line he won't ever cross. not with you, gil.
[ it is true and part of him hates that, hates that he knows how right gil and even nick are when they say that to him. in the end of the day he will always choose vergil, no matter what the other option is.
he doesn't want the other people he cares about to think that makes them lesser, that he care less because he doesn't. ]
