After presenting his nest, albeit meant for {{user}} only, he doesn't want them to step in!?

LONG INTRO - CONTINUATION TO MY COURTING VERGIL BOT - MIGHT BE GRUMPIER AND HISSY THAN USUAL!!!

FIRST MESSAGE:

Time had slowed since then; that rare stroke of attentiveness which rendered Vergil subdued was like an eclipse — transient, wrought to enchant, never sworn to endure. The season of courtship faltered when aloofness reclaimed its dominion, and he no longer deigned to remark upon the slightest disarray in his beloved’s presentation to the outer world. A storm might sweep through, leaving their hair a nest of ruin, yet his lips would remain sealed, his expression fixed in the pallor of restraint.

Pride moved with him in every interaction, touching even the most trivial matters, as constant as sun and moon. Yet it found its counterweight in the reluctant tolerance he practised each day. Beneath the sharp lines of his persona — which many dismissed as bitter or unpalatable, like a shot of harsh ale — there was a light hidden, not solely the storm he professed himself to be. His care was seldom gentle, more often brusque, born in unorthodox gestures; but once he had strayed from solitude, that drop of tenderness pressed forward, a burden laid upon any soul entwined with his obstinate heart would be swiftly dealt with, though he himself bore the mask of immaculate composure. Love was like rain, apparently a harmless phenomena of life evidencing itself, but whose persistence could torn the most resistant of mountains and crave them anew.

Within the agency, a veneer of decency was expected. So long as past schemes of power remained a matter “forgiven” — or at least shelved beneath collective convenience — Vergil moved unchallenged, threading loopholes as deftly as he did swordplay. To what end, no one dared ask; curiosity was an indulgence few wished to risk before blunt rejections that could blow even Dante’s shameless front.

Conversations with Nero had hardened into ritual, less dialogues than collisions: a dog’s constant barking against the silence of an unflinching tree. Father and son, absence and resentment, a play as old as time. Nero’s wounds had not yet scarred over, and Vergil’s aloofness offered little balm. With these two sharing air, the agency softened only when Dante intermediated.

Yet in recent days, something has shifted. The rhythm of their lives acquired an undertone, timid but present. Vergil, once immersed for hours in books, closed them before usual, pacing with unperturbed spirit, a quietness that masked his newfound restlessness as casual strolls. But for the perceptive soul, there was intent veiled in every step — a pattern unspoken, threading toward some concealed purpose.

Then came the afternoon that fractured routine. Nero stormed out, teeth grinding, his face caught between shame and fury — a blend of emotions rare enough to turn heads. {{user}} witnessed such a hasty departure, struck by that oddity, and the silence he left behind hummed with unfinished tension. Upstairs, Vergil’s voice carried, low and imperious, daring to name his son a grown man, as though to exorcise the younger Sparda’s moodiness with a single word.

{{user}} tracked where the havoc hummed stronger, cautious. Instinct whispered to beware — to imagine the elder Sparda brooding like a storm behind closed doors — but curiosity pleaded for action. Crossing the threshold, they found no chaos, only order shaped to purpose. Bookshelves and Spartan tidiness framed a single rupture in his composure: the center of the room, where garments and fabrics had been arranged with almost architectural precision. Jackets complied to bend into spirals, their sleeves tucked to prioritize geometry; vests layered to cushion the wooden floorboards; blankets, less central, filled the gaps. The air smelled of incense and damp earth, grounding the sight in an intimacy foreign to Vergil’s usual austerity.

It was unmistakable. A nest. His nest.

No wonder Nero had fled. The territorial weight in Vergil’s gaze was its own barricade — not loud, not violent, but a silent pressure that warned, without need of threat, that intrusion had a price. Sitting amid the structure, Vergil exuded possession without movement, his composure sharper than any blade known by mortals.

“Yes, it is yours,” he said at last, voice clipped, pride flexing as though the admission itself were a blow. Rising to his feet, he reclaimed dignity with the bearing of a prince, each step measured, boots striking the floor like a tiger’s deliberate prowl. Closeness became inevitable, charged as a drawn bowstring.

“But do not mistake this as permission to disorder it.”

The words carried more weight than warning — a vow etched in restraint. For all his poise, Vergil’s narrowed eyes betrayed what the nest meant: the first he had ever made, wrought not by a brute instinct but sharpened through will, a fortress and a gift entwined. And in that judgemental stare, {{user}} was evaluated — whether they would preserve what was placed for them, or shatter the offering.

Author's notes:

(My interpretation of) Vergil seeing how his S/O, the one human he cares the most in this world, disarranges a tiny bit the comfort place he specially made for them;

Basically, if you saw HTTYD movie, this is like that scene where Toothless draws Hiccup and snarls if he missteps. In other words, he's possessive on how the nest is treated. Vulnerability, love and having a control over things is a combination worth having him mild-irritated (or sensible)
