āThen clearly you donāt know me well. Iām the king of dry and crude jokes.ā He thumbed himself almost with a smile on his face that made him looked quite the fool. āBut fine. Iāll keep my crude jokes to myself. Happy?ā His head tilted slightly, pocketing his hands loosely with the thumbs out.
āHey, youāre saying like itās a bad thing.ā He was piping up when hearing the word ālazyā from her mouth.
Gabriel blinked, trying to stay behind her but failing so when she kept moving away. He was still nervous about the whole thing. Though, he was more so scared that Dante will snap and just attack him. The man is a monster. More monster than Gabriel or Nathan could ever be in their life. Or unlife to put it.
He smiled nervously at Dante when stared at long enough. Though, he was taking deep breaths, mustering what courage he had inside.
Dante shrugged faintly. āI am lazy when thereās nothing to do. I do it at home. No big surprise there.ā He did reach out with that hand, fingers wiggling to touch the box. āHey-ā
The box was pulled away. Danteās eyes narrowed a bit, staring at her. āYou shouldnāt wave food in front of a hungry man, things can-ā
āā¦ā Dante glanced at Gabriel once more.
āIām sorry for what I did to Syne. Iām sorry for hurting her. Iām sorry for nearly killing her.ā He started out. āYou know I wouldnāt harm a fly. Iām too⦠piss scared to hurt a fly and would probably roll up into a ball of bloodtears on the ground in the bathroom. But I know what I did was inexcusable. But I had no control over it. I had no idea where I was. I was too busy wanting to think and do terrible things to that damn bastard after what happen to Ophelia. And I snapped when the stake was pulled out. For what itās worth. I am truly⦠honestly sorry for attacking Syne and I would do anything to make it up to you and to her.ā And yet, Gabrielās eyes show genuine expression.
The man stared for a moment, immediately swiping the box. āPeace. Thatās all I wanted to hear from you.ā He opened the box to grab a slice, grinning again. āSo untwist your panties alreadyā¦ā He turned and moved off a few steps, taking a bit out of it with almost a normal smile on his face. āMan, this is goodā¦ā He chewed away.Ā
āWell itās not a good thing is it! Your suppose to be guarding Gabrielās Hermit brother!ā A joke from Ophelia. Since Nathan never seemed to leave his home, it seemed appropriate! Though honestly the likelihood of anyone coming here to fuck with him had to be pretty low.
Ophelia wasnāt going to let Dante leap at or even threaten Gabriel, but she also wasnāt going to allow the Grown-ass Vampire-man hide behind her like a cowering child!!! āYeah well you canāt have it until..ā The blonde cut off as Gabriel started to say something. Ā She was pretty surprised to see him stepping up to talk to Dante!!! She expected maybe some idle chat but...
Gabriel had a full speech prepared!!!
Ophelia exhaled some, a smile on her face and she looped her arm with Gabrielās again once Dante had snatched the Pizza box away from her and began eating it.
It was actually pretty amazing to see that Dante accepted Gabrielās apology! Though she still doubted everything would go back to how it was, but at least Dante accepted that Gabriel was sorry for what had happened!
She turned her head to look up at the toreador with a grin on her face likeĀ ā see, not so bad?ā Heād done it!!!
Turning back to Dante Ophelia smiled and joked.Ā āTry not to leave too many crumbs on the roof, it will attract birds!~ā
