it was the first time she was ever told the concept of new year. the trailblazer felt that the flow of time was less of a focus when you were surrounded by endless galaxy and starlight. it was, however, still interesting to see the year coming to an end and how excited people on each planet were to celebrate the new beginning. even the star calendar was syncing with a few planets within the orbit. while the Stellaron vessel was awakened not too long ago, her beloved devil had lived for many many years.

he even told her about a new year kiss.

vergil had taken her to many places he had visited before, this time, she took him to one of the worlds she had the pleasure of visiting. the sky of xianzhou luofu was filled with countless starskiffs and various colors. the lights and the stars themselves accompanied their journey as she showed him around aurum alley, insisting that he would try at least half if not all the food each stall had to offer. there was a hint of pride in her eyes having been responsible for reviving the area itself with her own hands.

as the clock ticked closer to the end of the year, she took his hand and guided him to a secret spot not too far from the dock and the merchant guild. the clearing offered the pair a spectacular view of xianzhou aircrafts and the fireworks being readied to be set off.

" have you ever piloted a starship before ? " auric orbs gleamed in delight, humming as she gestured to the starskiffs floating about. " seems like fun. i wonder if i'll get to try it one day. if not the starskiffs then maybe other kind of starship. i'm sure it'll feel different than taking flight with wings. " Eden flashed him a knowing grin. he had blessed her with the rush of a flight from his wings before, after all. her attention, however, was draw towards the bright glowing hand of the clock. how it struck twelve.

without a warning, she pulled him in for a kiss. a light laugh bubbled from her given the impromptu act before it mellowed into a softer, affectionate lip-lock. the trailblazer melted into it, letting the fireworks illuminated the background as she savored the taste and warmth of his lips. she had a bright, almost cheeky grin on her face when she pulled back.

" happy new year. i'll be in your care this year too, vergil. "

[{ 🗡️ }] - "So, this is the Xianzou Luofu huh? I recall you mentioning it a few times."

The holiday of New Years were something that Vergil had seen far too often in his time. It was always the same old thing year after year for the half-devil, while he understood how celebration for this particular holiday went, he just never really celebrated because most of his new years, Vergil had spent all of them alone. Some in random hotels, some in top of buildings so he could at least watch the fireworks, or other times he'd spend it at some campfire on the outskirts of town while cooking a piece of cheap meat, either from a store or an animal he killed. Not once had Vergil ever had someone to celebrate with, he was almost always alone, but not this year.

For the very first time in his life, after several new year's spent all by his lonesome, the half-devil finally had someone this year, something he honestly thought would never happen to him. Over the many years, Vergil honestly believed that he would never be loved again, believed that happy endings didn't exist, at least not for him. All of that changed the moment he met Eden. What started off as a mere accident, the two had met while trapped in the Astral Plane, which got morphed and twisted due the the collision of their portal rifts. Despite the situation the two were in, they managed to escape.

The couple had been nearly inseparable ever since. Being both from opposite worlds didn't stop them, they kept in touch with a special multidimensional phone that they used to keep in touch, texting and calling almost every night when they were both free and not busy. Ever since that fateful encounter, the pair had gone on several dates together, Vergil often showing her worlds he'd been to, as well as even showing her several parts of his world that were free of hostile demon control thanks to Vergil's efforts as well as the other Devil Hunters.

[{ 🗡️ }] - "Okay, alright. I promise, I'll try every best item on the menu, but I will not try the whole catalogue, even a demon has limits to how much we can eat."

This was Eden's very first New Years, considering that she had only just awoken recently from a long hyper sleep, there was a lot about the world Eden didn't know -- because her memories were gone, essentially erasing any knowledge of the person she was before she awoke. Vergil had taught her all about how the things she didn't know, as wll as New Years Eve and it's importance, as well as the fabled New Years kiss that every couple longed for, an experience Vergil never had the luxury of experiencing once in his life.

Their situations were entirely different, but Vergil did know about the pain of having no memory. When he was stuck in that armor as a puppet swordsman, the prince of darkness had completely taken his memories, and his humanity, leaving him a hollow shell, meant only to fight and kill, nothing more. If he was ever to meet the person who had stolen Eden's life from her, he would no doubt have some choice words for them -- or, choice cuts if it came down to it.

After spending all day together, Eden dragging Vergil to all the food stalls, trying to get him to try the best on the menu if not the entire menu, the Aurum Alley had a lot to pick from, he liked the variety. Once that was finished, she gave him a proper tour of the place. For a flagship, there was certainly a whole lot more to it than met the eye. It was a beautiful place, with stars of all kinds above them only enhancing the view.

As the trailblazer finished showing him around the world, Vergil listened as she would elaborate more on every area and place Eden showed him. From the Stargazer Navalia, to the Exalting Sanctum, all the way around and right to the Central Starskiff as he continued to let her lead the way forward. Not long after, the tolling at the bell that signified that it was just over half an hour until midnight. Hearing that, Eden once again took his hand, and off they went, Vergil again, letting his little raccoon lead the way.

Walking hand in hand with her, Eden takes him to a place that only she must have known about, because where they were, there was no other person around -- it was just the two of them here, exactly what Vergil preferred, especially when she pointed out the view before them. Not only could they see countless number of different colored stars in the sky, but other aircrafts as well, or what she called 'starships'.

While enjoying the view with her, their hands still in another's, feeling the tender feeling of this moment starting to build, she asks him a question that he was sort of expecting her to ask, since they were looking at starships along with the stars in sky, twinkling, sparkling their individual colors, some stars even changing colors all together, this world, was truly fascinating. When he receives her question, there's a soft, short lived chuckle as he begins to answer. When it came to anything space-related, demons were on foreign land.

Although he had been to space once, when he aided the heroes in their fight against Galactus, the world devourer, Vergil had never really set foot in space again, until he met Eden, though he didn't mind -- Vergil would go anywhere with her, to the farthest regions to the galaxy, all the way to the ends of the earth, or the atmosphere of another world entirely. As long as his Eden was right there by his side, he would even run to the ends of the world with her if it was possible. She was his saving grace, the light that pulled him out of the darkness that he had so shamefully brought upon himself out of his own careless past actions. Eden, gave him the purpose he was looking for. So tonight, would be a very special night for the two of them, Eden just didn't know it yet.

[{ 🗡️ }] - "Not really. With us devil's, while some of us harbor the ability to travel on an interdimensional level. We've don't really go to space."

As far as he knew, Vergil, along with Dante and Trish were probably the only devils who had ever been to space, although there was always the chance that his late father Sparda had traveled to space, there was a lot unknown about what happened to his father after he disappeared.

After she adds to the topic, he listens, nodding in between her words. Piloting a ship was clearly something he seemed to have a strong desire for, and he could understand to a degree. Anything having to do with flight, there was always this feeling of truly being free, soaring through the sky, or in her case, soaring through the stars in space, sounded like an entirely new level of thrill.

[{ 🗡️ }] - "Well, considering that you've been in space far longer than I have, I'm sure you'd be able to pilot one just fine, darling."

A smile creeps onto his lips, matching the cute little grin she wore on her face as Eden slyly mentions one of their previous dates, the night where he took her into the air with his wings, holding her firmly into his arms. It earns her a charming smirk from him. How could he forget? -- it was a night he could never forget -- the smile on her face that night, could burn out the sun, it was so bright, and so very beautiful, just like her.

[{ 🗡️ }] - "Yes. I'm sure it will be quite different, since you'll need a seatbelt, instead of my arms~" He slyly adds, a small cheeky grin on his devilish lips.

Shortly after their playful discussion, both of their attentions are capture by the loud chiming of the clock as it struck midnight signifying the start of the new year. Realizing what it meant, Vergil turned his head, but instead, found himself being pulled forward by Eden right to her lips and they locked in unison, short muffled chuckle at how abrupt she had been, but Vergil didn't mind. Holding the kiss, and savoring the moment as long as possible -- this was Vergil's first ever New Years kiss.

While he had kissed her many times, there was something more special about this kiss, not only had they just shared their first new years kiss, but there was one more moment left to come, that would be the cherry on top of the icing of this special moment. When the kiss finally broke, and their lips parted, Vergil learned his head forward, putting their foreheads gently together to touch as he prepared himself for a very important moment.

[{ 🗡️ }] - "I'll always be here to take care of my little raccoon.. but first.. there's something I've been meaning to tell you..."

Blue eyes staring deeply into her bright golden hues, Vergil's expression softens significantly, showing Eden a much more softer side to him -- a side of him he was waiting for the right moment to show her -- and that moment was now. Taking a deep breath, swallowing his slight nervousness, lips slowly part to speak, keeping eye contact with her the entire time, his thumb beginning to caress her cheek as he spoke. Because he was a little nervous, he told her in the only way he could that spoke in volumes more than words, a poem from the heart.

[{ 🗡️ }] - "Lost in the darkness, I stood alone. A shadow around me, no where to go. But when the darkness killed the light, A golden-eyed beauty burned my night, helping me find a reason to fight.

Your grace, a blessing of light Your face, a glorious sight Your heart, a vessel of love My feelings for you, from above

Like a rose, you fill the air Like a star, you shine everywhere Your beauty, a thing I can’t compare Your love, a warmth I can’t resist This feeling for you, I can never dismiss

My heart, I give to you A love, I can’t construe My arms, I wrap around you Happy new year. My precious Eden, I love you."

After his poetic confession, Vergil pulls her in for another kiss, the exact moment their lips lock in loving passion, his arms holding her tightly close to him, wrapped around her smaller frame The fireworks go off, lighting up the night as the two share their first passionate New Years Kiss.

January 1st, now becoming a very important part of their relationship, one that he would always make sure to remember, there was no way he'd ever forget such a special moment with the love of his life, the trailblazer, Eden. He couldn't wait to jump into the new year Their relationship now significantly stronger than ever.
