Chapter 2 – Decorating

"That's 20 dollars," the girl at the checkout looked at the screen.
"20? Alright," Vergil sighed, giving the girl the money.
"Thank you. Here's your receipt, have a nice Christmas."
"Likewise." Vergil took the bags and walked out of the store, and looked at the receipt. There was a mobile number scrawled on the bottom. 'Nice try.' Vergil thought.
That was his third stop. He had to go back to the shop after each trip to dump the shopping. He had already bought Fairy lights, Tinsel, and a Christmas tree. Just now he bought decorations. Lots and lots of decorations. He reached the store and went inside, dumping the bags with all the other stuff. He stared at the Christmas tree that was in the corner next to the couch.
"Time to begin." Vergil said aloud.

He placed another red bauble and a candy cane on the tree branch, making sure no-one would see him. The last thing he wanted was his image shattering into thousands of pieces. Vergil took a step back, and observed the tree. It was evenly balanced, green, red, blue and gold covering the tree. Silver tinsel was wrapped around it while a star sat on the top. He flicked a switch, and the fairy lights lit up.
"Perfect."
He left the tree, and got another bag that was full of Tinsel. He got red, and hung it over the doorframe. With all the doors and windows closed so the cold air couldn't come in, Vergil stared to get a little overheated. He took off his white button-up shirt, and got another pile of red Tinsel. He pinned it along the front of Dante's desk. "Heh, Dante would kill me if he saw this."
He stopped with the tinsel, and decided to decorate the outside. He walked out the door, not bothering to put his shirt back on, and looked at the front. He thought for a minute, and went back inside, grabbing a ladder and the 'outdoor' fairy lights. Vergil set up the ladder next to the roof in front of the door, and picked up the hammer and nails that he left there the previous day. He nailed the lights to one corner of the left window, and did the same to the others. He let the plug go inside through the window. He moved to the right, and repeated the process. He then moved to the pillars supporting the roof, wrapping some more lights around them. Vergil went inside, collected all the plugs, put them in, and flicked the switch. The whole shop lit up, including the neon sign that said 'Devil May Cry'. He went outside to look at his work. It certainly wasn't dull anymore. Vergil wiped his forehead. "I need a shower."

He left the lights on, and went up the stairs and into the bathroom, removing his pants and boots before getting into the shower. The hot water fogged up the mirror in a matter of minutes, while Vergil grabbed the shower gel. He was proud of his work. He finally brought some colour to this place. He stood under the showerhead, letting the water run cold as he thought of others ways to 'Xmas' up the shop.

Vergil was reading his favourite book on the couch when Dante and Nero came back.
"What the fuck did you do to this place?" asked Dante.
Vergil continued to read. "I decorated it brother."
"What about the electricity bill?"
"Don't worry about that."
"But it looks like the 1000 we just got is going to disintegrate with all these lights!"
"I beg to differ."
Dante looked around, and couldn't help but admire the place. "I admit it does look a little more lively."
"That was the objective." Vergil turned a page.
"And something smells really nice," Dante looked around, trying to find the source of the smell.
"Look in the kitchen." Vergil replied.
Nero looked around. "How many more days left?"
"5 days." Vergil turned another page.
"Well, are we gonna get any presents?"
"It depends on what you want." Vergil glanced at Nero.
"How about…you and Dante?" Nero winked.
"Control your hormones Child." Vergil smirked.
"Pfft."
Dante came out of the kitchen with a tray in his hand. "Jesus! There's no pizza! Instead there's this…" Dante looked at the tray, "…this big ass chicken!! What the fuck?"
Vergil chuckled. "That Dante is dinner. The vegetables are in the oven. Gravy is on the stove. Help yourselves."
"Real food!! Hallelujah!!" Nero ran towards the kitchen.
"Verge…What are we gonna do without you?" Dante asked.
"Absolutely nothing. Now eat." Vergil didn't take his eyes off the book.
"You don't need to tell me twice!" Dante went back into the kitchen.

Vergil grinned. They were going to have a fun Christmas indeed.
