“Then clearly you don’t know me well. I’m the king of dry and crude jokes.” He thumbed himself almost with a smile on his face that made him looked quite the fool. “But fine. I’ll keep my crude jokes to myself. Happy?” His head tilted slightly, pocketing his hands loosely with the thumbs out.
“Hey, you’re saying like it’s a bad thing.” He was piping up when hearing the word ‘lazy’ 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. “I am lazy when there’s nothing to do. I do it at home. No big surprise there.” He did reach out with that hand, fingers wiggling to touch the box. “Hey-”
The box was pulled away. Dante’s eyes narrowed a bit, staring at her. “You shouldn’t wave food in front of a hungry man, things can-”
“…” Dante glanced at Gabriel once more.
“I’m sorry for what I did to Syne. I’m sorry for hurting her. I’m sorry for nearly killing her.” He started out. “You know I wouldn’t harm a fly. I’m 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 it’s worth. I am truly… honestly sorry for attacking Syne and I would do anything to make it up to you and to her.” And yet, Gabriel’s eyes show genuine expression.
The man stared for a moment, immediately swiping the box. “Peace. That’s all I wanted to hear from you.” He opened the box to grab a slice, grinning again. “So untwist your panties already…” He turned and moved off a few steps, taking a bit out of it with almost a normal smile on his face. “Man, this is good…” He chewed away.
“Well it’s not a good thing is it! Your suppose to be guarding Gabriel’s Hermit brother!” 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 wasn’t going to let Dante leap at or even threaten Gabriel, but she also wasn’t going to allow the Grown-ass Vampire-man hide behind her like a cowering child!!! “Yeah well you can’t have it until..” The blonde cut off as Gabriel started to say something. 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 Gabriel’s 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 Gabriel’s 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 like ‘ see, not so bad?’ He’d done it!!!
Turning back to Dante Ophelia smiled and joked. “Try not to leave too many crumbs on the roof, it will attract birds!~”
