(Vergil x Pyrotechnophobic!Reader) Distractions

*EEEEEEEEE-- BOOOOOSH!*

It was the night of Forth of July, which ment fireworks would be shot. Kids and adults alike loved watching the shining lights... but you LOATHED them! They terrified you! From the sound, to the sparkling chemical reaction, to the changing lights. You were cuddled up in your bed trying to comfort yourself from the noise, and just when you'd think it was quiet--

*BOOSH* *BOOSH* *BAM* *SIZZLE* *EEEEEE- BOOOOOSH*

"AH!" You squeaked and threw your hand to your chest at being startled. Your friends would always ask, How can you be afraid of something so pretty? It sounded like gunshots to you, and the lights showing through your house didn't help you get the horrific image out of your head. The door to your room opened and you saw Vergil step in quickly.

"Why did you scream?" His sharp voice didn't help you feel better, but for a minute you swore that there was a tinge of concern in his eyes.

"The fireworks." You said pointing over at your window where different colored lights lit the walls. "They frighten me." Vergil raised an eyebrow and you could tell he was confused as to how you could possibly be afraid of something so simple as a firework.

*BOOM*

"EEK!" You clenched your hands around your pillow and cuddled up into the board of your bed. You heard footsteps and before you knew it, Vergil was dragging you off the bed. "HEY! What are you doing?!" You didn't struggle because you knew only two things would result from it. 1. You wouldn't escape. 2. Vergil would get angry at you. He didn't answer you and proceeded to throw you over his shoulder. Another firework burst and you accidentally punched Vergil's back. "Sorry." You quickly apologized as you heard a small growl come from his throat. A minute passed when you heard a clicking noise, fallowed by a wave of cold air hitting you. Vergil had opened the front door and was now carrying you outside. "VERGIL!" You reached your hands forward and tried to cling to the door frame, but your human grip was no match for Vergil, and he pulled you off without difficulty. A firework sounded and you slapped your hands over your eyes trying to not see the flash of light. Soon, you felt yourself get put down, and onto the grass. Slowly you removed your hands to see that Vergil had brought you to a nearby hill. "Why did you--"

*BOOM* 

On the hill, you could clearly see the fireworks shooting up, and it only frightened you more. You curled your knees up to your chest and dug your face down in your arms. "J-jerk! Why would you bring me here? Do you like torturing me?" Again, you heard no response, which only added to your sadness. Soon, tears began to escape your eyes as the hissing noises coming from the fireworks echoed in your ear. 

"You really are scarred." You looked to your side to see Vergil who was sitting there and observing your shivering form.

"Y-YES I'M SCARRED!" Anger boiled inside you, and you wanted to punch him just for stating such an obvious thing, and also for dragging you to the hill.

"I thought this was one of those times where you were over exaggerating." He said plainly. You clenched your fists and gritted your teeth at him.

"I'M NOT! I AM TRULY TERRI--"

*EEEEE-- BOOOOOSH*

The explosion startled you and you fell into Vergil's chest. If it weren't for your heart pounding so loudly, you would've immediately gotten off him, but now, you were just happy to cling onto something. You tried to calm your breathing, but soon you were whimpering and crying softly into his chest. Vergil held still and let his eyes travel down to see your trembling form grasping onto his coat. It was a strange thing for him. Usually, when something touched him, it was a demon trying to tear him apart, not a human crying and sitting in his lap. Vergil put his hands on your shoulders and began to pry you off him.

*HISSSSS* *BANG* *POP* *POP*

Again, by instinct, you threw yourself forward, and threw Vergil back to the floor with you on top of him. He froze and stared at you as you cried harder. Vergil raised his hand up to your head, and began to stroke your hair. You looked up at him with your (e/c) eyes that were no doubt glistening from the tears. Vergil was frowning, but it wasn't like his usual frown that made you feel like you were worthless. "________." He called your name softly. Your eyes widened as he brought your chin up with his other hand. For a minute you just stared into his eyes before his lips parted and he said. "I'm sorry." You had forgotten everything that had happened and you had to ask yourself what he was talking about. He was sorry for throwing you into a nightmare. Honestly, you thought he would've pushed you off and left you to panic, but no... he actually was sorry for doing this to you.

"I forgive you." You responded with a sniff. "It's just--"

*EEEEE-- EEEEE-- EEEEE-- BOOSH BOOSH BOOOSH*

You had no control over your body and in a second you found yourself with your eyes clenched and head slammed against the floor... or at least you had thought it was the floor. It seemed to soft to be the floor. Your eyes opened and your heart began to beat for another reason besides the fireworks. You had accidentally kissed Vergil when the firework startled you. "I-I'm so sorry--" your apology was silenced as Vergil took your chin and brought you back down to meet his lips, this time it wasn't an accident. To say you didn't like the kiss was a horrible lie, you had a huge crush on the handsome devil, but you always told yourself that nothing would ever bring the two of you together. He hated humans, and had no emotions! Although, if that was the case, what was he doing right now? Your attention was brought back when you saw Vergil's face illuminate, and you realized you had not payed attention to the firework sounding off. Vergil noticed this and chuckled.

"Did I distract you?" Your mind shut down for a quick second as you asked yourself if this was really happening, or if this was all just a dream. He only ever chuckled when he found something amusing, and it was usually when you or someone else did something like screw up. Like his earlier frown, this chuckle was not for the purpose of making you feel bad, but for showing you he cared.

"Yes." You responded almost breathlessly. Vergil's breath halted as you began to lower your head to kiss him-- but he pushed you off before you got any closer. "?!" Vergil stood up and threw your body once again over his shoulder. He had teleported the two of you back into Devil May Cry and to your room. In a second he threw you onto the bed and began to walk out of the room. "Hey! Where are you going?" He shut the door leaving you to sit in silence. His sudden actions were due to realizing his own emotions, which rarely ever showed. It didn't matter however, since now you knew that he did like you... dare you say, loved you? You let yourself sigh out loud from happiness. A firework went off in the distance, but you had been distracted by the sound of your heart beating for another purpose than fear... love. For the first time in years, you actually slept soundly with the fireworks going on in the background.
