Dante looked up at Gabriel, relief washing over him. "I woke up alone and feared for the worst." He smiled softly before crossing his arms and averting his gaze. "Oni... did Lukas come home last night or something?I didn't think him brave enough to be on his own yet..." He stopped himself, closing his eyes to stop the spinning. What a miserable feeling. When would he get better?
|
Gabriel walked over to Oni's door and looked in seeing no one. "He isnt in his room.." He closed the door and looked back at Dante. "Any idea where he could be?" His eyebrows pulled together with worry as he looked up and down the hallway. With a sigh he handed Dante the icewater. "Here...thought it might..help." |
Dante peeked in as Gabriel opened the door. The bed hadn't even been touched. He thought for a moment before taking the glass Gabriel held out. The first night Oni had been really out of it. Scared to death practically. Even with Dante there, he had gone to the first safe place he could think of. "Armiore." Dante muttered before reaching up and opening the door. "He's hiding."
He wasn't confident that he was right, but it was all he could think of besides him being... well... kidnapped. Since Dante hadn't received a call, he couldn't bring himself to believe such a thing. He slipped into the room and stepped closer to the tall dresser before pulling it open and spotting the purple haired boy all curled up. "Bingo..." He sighed, closing his eyes, leaving the door open as he moved back. "Could you move him to the bed...?" |
Gabriel nodded and walked over, carefully taking the boy in his arms and quietly placing him on the bed, covering him with the covers. "So fragile..." He sighed and glanced over to Dante. "Both of you.." |
"Ah..." Dante blinked, staring at Gabriel in surprise. "Fragile...?" He glared at the man before huffing. "I've been called a Hell of a lot of things, but never fragile." He went silent for a moment before looking back at Gabriel with an angry scowl. "My curse only got worse thanks to that scientist bastard. He did something to me... I'm far more exhausted after the change, and it's harder to recover from it. Not only that, but... it's faster..." He sighed before heading out of the room. "If you're called that 'fragile', then I shouldn't even be here."
|
Gabriel sighed, lowering his head. "I just...meant.." He let his lets collapse so he could kneel at Oni's bedside. "Your curse gives you such pain...and with that being worse..." He didnt finish..knowing no mater what he said Dante would leave. His heart was aching, yet not from his disease, but from the fear one day he'd lose one, if not both of these two. He knew it would happen eventually...He would live forever...and they wouldnot. He'd never age...and they would.. |
Dante stopped at the door and looked to Gabriel's pain. He watched him for a long moment before scoffing and lowering his head. "You fell in love for a hellova man." He said softly. "I couldn't see me living to thirty, Gabe... I only make more and more enemies wherever I go. One day I'll end up being shot, or with my luck, kicked so hard in the nuts that I go on overload." He grinned sickly before looking back at the man. "I'm sorry... I wish I could say something nicer, but I hate lying more than I have to."
|
Gabriel was suddenly over taken with anger and glared hatefully at the boy. "Dont say that!" His teeth were bare ferally. "I wont let anyone touch you!" Angrily his hands were forming fists and he was shaking. |
Dante looked to Gabriel, unfazed by his anger. "Until death do we part?" Well, Dante was hardly a vampire. How could he live as long as one? He looked to the floor before walking up to Gabriel, touching his arm and pressing a kiss against the man's cheek. "I talk to much... but... thank you. It's comforting."
|
Gabriel eyes closed, one tear escaping as the words Dante said hit him. The kiss on his cheek made his heart wretch. He couldnt live without this b-...man. And he wouldnt...when the time came he'd let his heart die, without Dante it would be dead regardless. |
Dante looked to the tortured man before sighing and leaning against him. "Gabriel... talk to me..." He muttered. He looked down for a moment before moving back and sitting beside Gabriel. "What are you thinking? Nothing too depressing, I hope."
|
Gabriel hated to lie to the boy, but knew he couldn't tell him, no use in making the boy worry. He had too much to worry about already. Feigning a smile he looked up and the boy. "Until death." Gently he kissed the boy, letting the boy's warm lips feel chill against his cold ones. |
Dante winced at the words, feeling... strange about them. He accepted the kiss, but his mind was elsewhere. He placed his hand on Gabriel's cheek, backing away slightly from the kiss and sighing. "Who's death, Gabriel? You're being vague." He looked away suddenly with a bit of a huff.
|
Gabriel sighed not really wanting to answer. "Either, or..." Getting up he headed to his room to get his pills, he was now unsure what the pain in his heart was. Placing two pills in his mouth he swallow and rubbed his forehead, he had a horrible headache. |
"Gabriel..." Dante watched him leave before looking to the sleeping Oni. He breathed, lowering his head before laying it in his hands. Either or...? Well, what a bland answer. He shouldn't even had bothered. He wasn't used to this at all. Gabriel was... something else. He cared to a point that Dante never had experienced before. Well, Oni as well, of course... what a mess.
|
Gabriel sat on the edge of his bed, lacing his head in his hands. How the hell was he going to keep Dante alive, there had to be a way...More importantly there had to be a way to break this god damn curse...He'd roam the earth if he had to...anything for him...Sighing gabriel opened his bag, pulling out a box. He dusted the top and smiled, it was his mother's jewlery box...Inside was a picture of him and her. "Mom..what should i do..." With a sigh he laid back onto the bed, staring at the photo. |
"Huh..." Dante had reached Gabriel's room as the vampire lay, staring at some picture. He stayed in the doorway, crossing his arms and leaning against the frame. "I'm not sure what she would say, but I'd say to try your hardest." He looked away for a moment before walking in to take a seat on the edge of Gabriel's bed. "I'd really miss you if something happened. I know you'd feel the same." He sighed.
|
Gabriel let out a long sigh, placing the photo aside. "I know.." [[sorry i dont know what to say D:]] |
Dante hesitated before crawling up the bed to Gabriel's side. He knelt beside the man and smiled down at him. "We're always with each other, but we hardly even know each other." He said simply before looking to the picture. "Want to talk a bit?"
|
Gabriel blinked. "Uh..sure." He said softly and followed Dante's glance to the pitcure of him and his mother. "That was a month before she....died.." He didnt want to tell Dante...not just yet..he didnt want to think about it. |
Dante watched Gabriel before moving to lay beside the man. He sighed and wrapped his arm over Gabriel before closing his eyes. "I won't ask any more of it. Tell me something else." He stroked Gabriel's chest, cracking his eyes open in order to watch his own hand longingly. He hated this. With the shorter time, having 'fun' would be impossible.
|
Gabriel relaxed as she felt the boys arms around him. As the boy stroked his chest he smiled, turning his hand to glance at the boy. Looking into his eyes...he wish now more then ever for the man he first met...He leaned foward and kissed the boy softly. "I love you.." The words slipped out before he could catch them... |
Dante was taken aback by the words. He blushed brilliantly as he stared at Gabriel, his lips quivering. He looked away suddenly, covering his lips before sitting up. The words had shook him harder than he ever believed they could. "Gabriel... you..." He went silent for a moment before bowing his head, flustered. "You really do?"
|
Gabriel watched the boys reaction and sat up, taking the boy by the chin and kissing him a few times before resting his forehead against his, smiling at the wamth from the other's skin. "I do... I love you Dante..." He smiled. "I havent felt this way about anyone...i cant imagine living without you.." He placed her hand on the oter's cheek, caressing it as he kissed the boys warm lips once more. |
Dante felt different. It was a mix of fear, worry, and... happiness. But could he commit? He visibly weakened as he was kissed again and again, his eyes closing. He relaxed, his hand slipping over Gabriel's. He finally looked the other in the eyes with nothing but passion, but forced himself to look away, bit curling up in his chest. This couldn't happen. It couldn't ever work. "I'm sorry..."
