#Vergil probably stabbed Dante like Julius Caesar to get him to leave it alone

It's always about the little things with him
Nero was working on a crafts project in the back of the van when the tool he needed was out of reach. He turned to Vergil, who was sitting nearby, “Hey, can you pass over them scissors?”
Setting his book aside, Vergil picked up the scissors, but instead of handing them over, he just frowned at them as if they had wronged him. Fascinating as it was to see Vergil confused by a simple pair of old scissors, Nero needed them today, so after a minute of waiting, his patience had run out.
“Look, you could’ve just said no, I—“
Much like how he called upon summoned swords, Vergil created a spectral copy of the scissors and passed them over to Nero without a word. When Nero picked them up, he quickly realised the scissors were actually a mirrored version of the originals, better suited for a left-handed person. It was an unexpectedly thoughtful gesture from his father, considering Nero favoured his left hand for most things.
Not sure how to process that, Nero sheepishly mumbled, “Uh, Thanks… but I’m sort of ambidextrous.“
