Dante chuckled before shaking his head. "Oni, from now on, hug me all you want." He grinned to the boy before leaning his head against the bed frame. "My condition has settled well enough. I don't know how long it will last, so... you'd better aubse the time you have." He chuckled.

No, that wasn't right... he never had a condition. He had lied to Oni. He was cursed, and the curse still has yet to disappear... or had it? Not only that, why did he want Oni to hug him all of a sudden? Why was he acting so carefree? So... abnormally kind? Maybe he was just happy. Really happy. After all, his curse seemed to have stopped for a night giving him more than enough time to be laid by a drop dead gorgeous man.

Oni smiled and asked, "Really? Dante is doing better? Oh I am so glad! Is . . is it really okay to give Dante hugs now?" he asked just wanted to make sure. He figured there was a way to find out. He slowly went forward and hugged him. Looking up he said again, "Is it really okay? I don't want to make Dante upset."

"It's perfectly alright!" Dante took the Oni doll in one hand, wrapping both of his arms around the huggable boy in return. "I think a hug from you and much more enjoyable than a hug from a doll. You're very warm and much bigger." He messed the boy's purple hair before pointing a thumb down the hall. "What have you been doing all day, Oni?"

Oni snuggled Dante happy that he wanted a hug from him. "I like real hugs better too Dante. Oh today. Lukas took me to town and bought me some clothes and a coat. Then he took me out to eat these pancake things that were really good," he said smiling at Dante.

"Pancake things?" Dante quirked a brow curiously and tilted his head. "What doing you mean by 'things'?" Wait... had he really just made such a cute face? And wasn't he still in a towel!? The thoughts hit him suddenly, but then seemed to be drowned in uncaring. Oh well. At least he was wearing something.

Oni tried to remember the name saying, "I think they were called creeps. . .no cre. . .I don't remember. They are like pancakes but lots thinner and you put fruit on them. Lukas said you could put veggies on them but sounded gross." He was a little surprised but happy that Dante was still holding him. Usually Dante gave quick little hugs and that was it. "Dante must be very happy since he is hugging Oni. I like it," he said innocently.

"Crepes." Dante corrected. "It's a french desert. You ate it for lunch...?" How strange... "Well, I was going to treat you to something sweat, but it seems that Lukas has already taken care of that for me." He huffed with a bit of a pout. "How did you like them? Delicious, right?" He grinned yet again, though it fell with Oni's next comment. Really happy... huh? He glanced back into his room, his eyes becoming unfocused. That man was still in there, naked, in Dante's bed. Blush came to his cheeks and he sighed. He hated how new he was to this kind of thing. He knew everything about this kind of relationship, but hardly ever had the chance to practice. "Oni, how about you head downstairs? I'll head down soon after I change, alright?"

"Yeah that's it! Yes we had it for lunch, was that weird? Oh yes they were very good. Don't be sad Dante you can still treat me," he said hopefully. Maybe he could get two sweet things in one day. He then said, getting an idea, "Dante after you get dressed can I show you my new clothes?" He really wanted to see what other people thought of what he picked out. Lukas was really nice about everything and said as long as Oni was happy that was all that mattered. Oni though wanted to make sure he looked good for Lukas.

"I will not treat you tonight." Dante huffed. "I'll treat you when I feel you deserve it." He stuck his tongue out at the boy childishly before smiling warmly. Right, they had gone clothes shopping. Now he was wondering what Oni would have picked out. Did he have any sense of color coordination at least? "Sure thing." Dante agreed. He removed his arms from the boy and held the doll to his chest once more, waiting to be let go. "You can go get prepared then. I'll be down in a bit."

Now it was Oni's turn to pout and he said,"Okay but maybe tomorrow." Oni giggled when Dante stuck out his tongue. "Okay Dante I'm staying in Lukas' room so come there when your dressed. Lukas said I picked good so I really want to show you," he said enthusiastically and ran off to his room.

Rain stumbled out of the room, dressed in her usual clothing but with her hair not quite so sleekly brushed. She hadn’t done something like that….for a very long time. She grined to herself, about to go get coffee when she walked contently down the hall……and spotted Dante.

Her deep laugh escaped a moment as she looked at him, teasing lightly “Nice Dante.. .. That’s a very good look for you.” She then winked and headed down the stairs, shaking her head. She then tried to keep herself from giggling as she walked forward, a light sashaying motion in her steps from her earlier…fun the other night. She then waved to Oni, her happiness fading lightly as she remembered when she'd last seen him.... did he hate her still she wondered.

Oni smiled and waved to Rain. He was so happy and having such a good day that he just couldn't be upset with anyone. He went into his room and pulled out some of the clothes he had gotten. He waited patiently for Dante to come. What luck he was having today. Lukas got him new clothes and spent time with just him. Dante liked his gift and was being really nice.

Dante watched the boy run off before rolling his eyes. He let a sigh escape as his hand reached up and rubbed his tired face. He couldn't leave this vampire in here alone... could he? What an asshole move. No, that wouldn't work for him at all. He looked back at the crumpled sleeping form with an irritable glare. No one wanted to wake up alone after something like that. It would make them think it was all 'just for sex'. At that, it would only have been for the satisfaction of the one whom originally seduced the other- Dante.

Shivers ran through him as a woman's laughter stabbed at his heart. He looked up to see... see... Rain. His expression fell for a moment in surprise before a bit of arrogance and irritability showed obvious on his face. "Nice ass. Did it grow ten pounds overnight? Or did they switch places with those melons of yours?" He mocked back sarcastically. The sad part is, his eyes did linger on her. He curves... were they that appealing before? He stopped, went wide eyed, shook his head and quickly closed the door to his room.

WHAT THE HELL!?

Something was terribly wrong! How could that wench be seductive? How could he be lusting for some fat cow!? DAMMIT! He smacked his hands against his forehead, trying to fix himself. He felt nauseous. This wasn't right. This was wrong. Terrible!

He took a deep unsteady breath before leaning all of his weight on the wall behind him as he closed his eyes. "Someone get me out of here..."

Seeing the wave Rain’s cheer returned, though she was curious what had all happened. He looked so happy….. Lucas, definitely she thought to herself. “Good to see you smile Oni” she said softly, genuinely. She then heard the tease of Dante’s words and turned to sit on the railing and react in kind when she saw something had changed… for a minute…. His eyes….

They had that possessive, lustful look HE had always had, the way they lingered over… It made her shiver and nearly fall off the railing as she felt her own moment of panic. No… it couldn’t… no one, no one would ever do that to her again. She shook her head, clearing it slightly. He was just post lustful after sex and actually bi….yeah… that was it… or so she convinced herself. HE….HE was dead… she’d killed him herself….

((I'm still on, just on meh mule))

Dante looked himself over before looking to the man on the bed. Right... shower. He needed a shower. He tossed the doll Oni had made him onto a desk, uncaring, and grabbed a washcloth and soap as he slipped into his bathroom, closing the door behind him. It was only meant to be a quick five minute shower to scrub the sweat and... well.. whatever else there was off. He dried off after and placed a bandage over the stitches on his back. With that he tossed a simple tan cotton T-Shirt on as well as a pair of boxers, and black dress pants. After equipping himself with his phone, cards and all other whatnot he slipped out of his room, leaving the vampire alone now as he headed off towards Oni's room. He knocked twice on the front door, waiting for the boy to register and let him in.

Oni ran to the door smiling and let Dante in. "Should I try them on Dante? I hope I picked good so I don't look silly. I want to look good for Lukas too," he said talking as soon as the door had been opened. He grabbed Dante's hand pulling him into the room.

"Ah..." Already bombarded with comments and pulled in. Oni was very excitable today. He followed him into the room before looking around. "Go ahead and try them on. If I see something funny, I'll let you know so that you can look your best, alright?" Be smiled to the boy before giving a shrug. "But, I'm sure you'd have picked nice clothing, seeing as you're so spirited about things."

Rain nodded to herself as she became satisfied, getting her second cup of coffee by the time Dante left the shower and walking towards the stairs again when she found a delicately wrapped gift labeled ‘to Oni, From Janu’ on the table where the now sleeping feline had been working on it. Shrugging she picked it up and started for Oni’s room.

She paused briefly as she saw Dante but dismissed it quickly. He was Dante…….the one she didn’t have to worry about. She then smiled to the rapidily talking Oni. “Hey, found something for you from Janu.” She said quietly as she walked into the room after Dante was tugged in. She sat the wrapped gift on the boy’s bed, thinking to herself that DAnte was sure being complimentary...

((yes she's just walked in the room without permission per usual xD))

"Should I change in the bathroom?" he asked remembering some of the stuff Dante had said before about being impolite. Oni smiled at Dante's words, he was such a good friend. "Okay I trust you Dante." Oni blushed when Dante talked about being spirited and said in a quiet voice, "That's cause I got to spend time with Lukas, he makes me happy."

Oni gave a smile to Rain and then a hug not thinking about it since he was so happy. "Oh a present!" he said excitedly and opened it up. "Look she made me a Xanic doll so when I miss him I can hug the little him," he smiled and set the doll on the bed carefully.

Dante looked to Rain as she entered, feeling a bit uncomfortable suddenly. Whatever lust he'd had was hidden away now. Perhaps it had just been some spur of the moment mind fuck? He sighed and smiled back at Oni. "Yes, you should. Especially now that she's here." He rolled his eyes and pointed to Rain. "You should never dress yourself in from of a woman. They don't like that kind of thing."

"Oh okay," he said to Dante. Oni grabbed a few of the clothes they had bought and headed off the the half bath in the room. Once he had changed into one outfit he came out. It was a long sleeved blue shirt with black stripes and a pair of black jeans. "I always wore purple before so I wanted to try other colors," he said.

Rain didn’t seem as bothered by the hug quite as much as usual though she was startled by it, seeming that getting her…cuddles from Emeriya had mellowed that out a little bit. She patted his back, watching as he put the doll so carefully. Xanic…. She half felt guilty but partially didn’t If he really wanted to save Oni and not himself…then she’d merely done exactly as he knew she would ….as he’d planned her to.

As Dante spoke she rolled her eyes, laughing softly. She playfully curtsied towards Dante, teasing “thank you for the consideration.” She was relieved to see him with his normal look, knowing that it probably showed in her eyes. She then stepped to perch on a random object, inwardly relaxing. She looked up as Oni came in, smiling and nodding. “You look good in blue” She said softly.

He'd look better if his hair were black. Dante smiled and nodded. "Blue compliments the purple." Dante rubbed his tired face, before closing his eyes. "You shouldn't have been so worried. You really had picked out something nice." I really hadn't expected it... I was thinking something gaudy and childish. Stripes? Really?

( Tiiired. Heading off soon. =O )

Oni beamed at all the praise saying, "Thanks guys." He then continued to try everything on even a shirt that was yellow, pink and purple that looked like it came from the girls section. After he tried everything on he asked again, "So did it all look okay?" He was happy they had come to look things over.

(( okay :( will miss u ))
