Oni put the towel down and said to Ti, "We haven't gotten to take our bath yet." He went and slid back into the tub. He looked at Dante and said,"Now that your child size we can both fit. I put bubbles in so it's more fun now." Oni gave a small pleading look wanting to try and relax and forget his worries.

( Wait... the tub is that small? When you said baths I thought like a Japanese hot spring, only medieval esk. Damn, I feel stupid now. D= )

Dante looked to Oni, hesitating for a long moment. Bath with that kid? His face was flushed red as she looked to his feet before sitting on the edge of the bath, glad to at least still have his shirt on. It looked like a dress on him, but it'd work for now. "I'm fine right here..." Though, now that he was bite sized the 'cold' affected him more. Now that he'd left the water his clothes were cooling and causing him to shiver. He hated being tiny...

((No you're right but everyone has been saying tubs so I just was going along with it, lol my bad))

Oni looked at Dante then looked down at the water and poked it. Quietly he said, "see I was right Dante doesn't like being around Oni whether he is big or small. I make you have weird feelings." Oni just wanted someone he could be around that didn't send off no vibes all the time. Rain gave off no vibes. Dante gave off no vibes. Oni pulled his knees up, wrapped his arms around his legs and plopped his head down and tried not to cry. Why did people not like being around him? Maybe Oni should have died. Xanic had always been better. Once Oni started thinking about his brother he couldn't stop himself and began to cry.

"O-Oi...!" Dante stared at Oni, absolutely perplexed. This was one of the reasons he hated women and children. They twisted your feelings, warped your mind, and did everything in their power to get their way- including crying.

He sighed and looked down at his shirt for a moment before sighing and pulling his shirt off. He slipped into the tub beside Oni, feeling very uncomfortable now. "It's because I'm not used to it..." He muttered to Oni. Damn, he hated this height difference. He couldn't really sit in the water, he had to stand. How embarrassing. "It's been a very long time since I've been hugged so much. It's a bit awkward for me because it's different." He sighed, "And it's been a long time since I could actually relax so much. It feels... weird." Without booze, that is.

Oni looked at him and wiped his eyes. "I'm sorry Dante. . I know it's different for people but I just never got hugs and things so I really like them. Back at the fa. . back home we didn't have parents who hugged us. Xanic was like you. . .it was weird for him. For me it's comforting and nice. I . . I just miss him Dante." Oni was crying again but was trying hard not to. Oni resisted the urge to hold on to someone. He sniffled and noticed that Dante couldn't sit down. He said, "Why don't we go over that way, it isn't so deep and has raised places to sit."

((okay so its a bath house now, lol ))

Dante looked to Oni for a moment. The boy was pained. Damned these people- the ones that did this to him. They should have been able to find another way. They didn't have to kill his brother off! They could have at least postponed or something, right? He bit his lip unconsciously before nodding to Oni. "M-Mmhh.." He leaned close and wrapped his arms around Oni's though his face went bright tried at the strange contact. "I'm sorry, Oni. You shouldn't have experienced such loss."

Oni clung to him and let his heart cry as the tears seemed to spring from a bottomless pit of pain and loss. Oni had pulled Dante close and though weak was using all his strength to hold the small child. Oni whispered, "Dante won't leave me will he?"

Dante was uncomfortable for a moment as Oni pulled him in. He hesitated, though finally relaxed against the boy as he sobbed. "Ah, I won't leave you. I'll protect you, Oni." He sighed, then smiled up at the boy. "I won't let them hurt you anymore." He looking up at the boy, reaching up to wipe some of the tears from Oni's eyes. "Do you trust me?"

Oni looked at Dante and tried to smile while he said, "Yes Dante I trust you." Oni sniffled and continued,"Even though you are small it is hard for Oni to think of you as small. Dante just feels like Dante. . .strong and safe. I'm glad you won't go away." Oni wished Dante and him were brothers. He wasn't trying to replace Xanic he just felt close to Dante. He finally loosened his hold and with a half smile, "We should get clean. Do you want me to scrub your back?"

Dante smiled. He wasn't sure why, but Oni really trusted him. This development had never happened before. "I'm glad." He sighed before reaching up and rubbing his one face. He was still exhausted, and the hot water only intensified how tired he felt.

He looked up at Oni's next comment before blushing bright and looking away. "E-Eh... I can... I guess..." Wash his back? They only did that in Japan for all he knew. Of course, he also wasn't expecting group baths in a castle like this.

Oni was happy he had something to do now. Tasks helped him not think about things. He got a scrubber/luffa/cloth put soap on it and began to make little circles on Dante's back. He said to him, "I'll try and not make you uncomfortable from now on. It's hard for me not to hug people but I promise I'll try. I don't want to make Dante not like me." As he continued to was his back he asked, "Does this feel nice?"

((Dante is cute :P Score for Oni! Another man bath w00t ))

"I-It's fine.. really..." Dante muttered as he dropped his head. This was so awkward. Wasn't that Vampire guy or whatever still in here too? Maybe he'd left. He didn't want to check.. He'd probably be laughing at Dante's situation. The position was terrible, and a sickening fear fell over him for a moment. Common sense fought it off, though. Oni was naive. He only even knew about a kiss, and even tat, it was only a peck. He couldn't be a pedo.

He closed his eyes, his hands grasping his knees tight as he tried to relax. "Mmh... it does..." He muttered back. Well, it did. The last time someone washed him was when he really was young. Back then his father cared for him a lot, at least, until mother started acting up.

Oni liked Dante. He had always been kind to him. He remembered when Dante was Tir and let him cuddle him to sleep. That had helped Oni a lot and even though Dante really didn't like being touched he had let Oni do that. Yes Dante was a good friend. Oni finished the boys back and asked, "Is it okay if I wash your hair?" Really he just wanted to clean up all of Dante but he wasn't sure if he would like that.

( xDDDD )

"S-Sure..." Dante muttered. His hair? He couldn't remember the last time anyone else even touched it besides grabbing it and dragging him around for whatever reason. He swallowed and looked back to the boy. "Do you really like this?" He asked meekly. "Washing someone else, I mean..."

Oni scooped up some water, tilted Dante's head back slightly and poured the water on his hair careful not to get it in his face. He got some soap in his hands and then ran his hands very gently through Dante's hair careful to not let any get in his eyes. As he kept running his fingers through Dante's hair he said, "I never really have before. But I heard once that family's sometimes washed each other. I like being able to touch people so it's comforting to me." Softly he asked, "If it bothers you let me know and I'll stop okay."

Dante moved with Oni's hands, staring up at the ceiling as the boy wet his hair, and son after scrubbed at it. He could feel the wet gelled soap against his scalp, as he closed his eyes. He felt himself relax more and more as Oni played and stroked his hair. "It's fine. I kinda like it..." He muttered back. He smiled lightly, drowsiness swimming through him. He could head to bed right now, soap and all, and be content. Hell, he could fall asleep right here.

Oni gave his first true genuine smile since the whole event from the other day. Once he had finished washing it he carefully scooped up water and rinsed all the soap out of his hair. He was so glad Dante was liking this. He could feel happy feeling and see his body relax. Oni was glad he was finally doing something right. "I'm glad," he simply said to Dante then asked, "Once we're done what would Dante like to do?"

((boys n their baths ;) hehe I think Oni likes this a little too much :P ))

( xD Kay. )

Dante blinked and looked back more to see Oni as he asked what to do next. What would be next? He was tired. He just wanted to sleep. "I need to sleep." He said honestly before reaching up to feel his hair. He yawned and stretched his tired limbs before slumping forward, keeping his tired eyes shut this time. Would Oni join him? He didn't think the kid would run off anywhere else, and Xanic obviously wouldn't be dragging Oni anywhere. There was no more Xanic to do that...

Oni huggled the sleepy boy and smiled again. He said,"Okay we can go lay down then but first we need to get dry and dressed. Lukas gave me some of his old clothes and there are a few things in there that wouldn't be as big on you as your own clothes." Oni let the Dante go and got out of the bath. He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist. He grabbed another one and held it open saying, "Okay come here and I'll dry you off and wrap it around you k."

( Phht. He's acting like a mommy. xD Dante should have had a male mommy. D= )

"I have clothes that fit..." Dante yawned before walking up to Oni. He thought for a moment, staring at the towel before holding a hand out with a weak smile. "I'm fine. I can dry myself. It's embarrassing if I can't do even that." In all honesty, he just didn't want Oni groping and rubbing his body.

( I have to head to class. If I disappear suddenly, then go ahead and puppet my character to bed. xD Lawl. )

Oni let Dante dry himself not wanting him to feel embarrassed. He knew what it felt like to be embarrassed or feel foolish. Once Dante was done he took the little hand and headed for his room. He grabbed some of his own clothes then took Dante's hand again going to his room. Once their Oni dropped his towel and started to change figuring that Dante would do the same.

((okay))

Dante had hung the towel around his hips and rung out his soaked clothes, taking them with him as well. He held up for Oni as he grabbed his clothes, a bit worried as to what would happen if he didn't. He then showed the way to his own room, leaving the door open for Oni. He tossed his soaked clothes in the shower and retrieved the few items that had been in the pockets before returning. He came back to a surprising sight, one he wished he hadn't seen He covered his eyes and sighed before hurrying over to his dresser. It wasn't Oni's fault... Dante just happened to be absolutely gay.

He took a pair of clothes from his own dresser, but only grabbing one item for now. All he needed as a large shirt for now; something simple that was comfortable to sleep in. He'd prefer to sleep nude, but... well... that didn't seem to be happening tonight...

( Go ahead and puppet him now. xD )
