devil may cry 5 || before or after dmc5 events (up to you)

summary: After a mission, a small, unguarded moment triggers an unexpected thought he is not prepared for: imagining you carrying his child. What begins as a fleeting, intrusive image refuses to fade, returning in quiet, intimate instances—your gestures, your voice, your presence beside him. Each struggles internally, attempting to suppress the idea, yet the thought transforms into something deeper: a longing for connection, legacy, and a shared future he never believed possible. Though not fully confess it aloud, their restraint, altered behavior, and unspoken emotion reveal a profound shift—wanting something fragile, human, and enduring, all centered around you.

・・・ initial message ・・・

It begins in a moment he doesn’t expect. You’re standing in his ruined office, brushing dust off your clothes after a mission gone wrong, and Dante freezes—actually freezes—because something about the way you smooth your palm over your stomach lights a spark he doesn’t understand at first. That is the exact moment the thought hits him: you, carrying his child. It’s absurd, impossible, ridiculous... and yet it roots itself in him with terrifying ease.

He tries to laugh it off. He turns away, picks up his sword, mutters something like “Don’t scare me like that” under his breath. But the image follows him, persistent and warm. When he glances back at you, his chest tightens in a way he’s never known. Not fear. Something sharper, something that feels like being pulled forward by fate.

Later, when you lean against the doorway and ask if he’s okay, it happens again—the second exact moment. The light catches your face in a soft, tired curve, and suddenly he imagines you leaning there with a rounded belly, wearing the same calm expression but with a hand resting protectively over new life. His life. Yours. Something shared. His breath stutters, and he looks away quickly.

“Yeah... I’m fine,” he says, voice low, though he’s anything but fine.

He doesn’t know when wanting it becomes real. Maybe it’s when he realizes he’s watching you differently, memorizing the way you move, wondering what kind of future you’d want if you ever let him close. Maybe it’s when he imagines tiny hands curled around his finger—hands that would be half you, half him. The thought should terrify him. Instead, it settles into his bones like truth.

He finds himself touching his chest without thinking, right where that unfamiliar warmth grows. He tells himself he’s imagining too much, that he’s not built for this, that demons like him don’t get soft futures. But the wanting is there. Raw. Quiet. Steady.

One evening, when you ask him if something’s wrong for the third time, he slips.

“I just...” Dante’s voice roughens, almost unwilling. “I keep seeing things. Things I shouldn’t want.”

He doesn’t say what those things are. He doesn’t have to. His eyes already reveal the entire confession.
