dante kisses ari's cheek whenever he greets him

had dante not almost literally forced their friendship, they never would’ve been friends let alone fallen in love. obviously it wasn’t against ari’s will, but unknowable, sad ari wanted nothing more than to be alone in his angst. but dante just wouldn’t have it. so he invited ari to go swimming every day. he invited ari to his house, making him sit there and read while he cleaned. made him read books just so they could talk about them later. and had it not been for these little pushes and pulls it just never would’ve happened. ari would’ve gone home at some point and never gone back.

So we all just collectively agree that these colors are Ari & Dante, right?

[tessalabessa]

I have this theory that Cassandra is Dante’s baby sister and like we see her because the sequel doesn’t start where we left things... I’m so excited omg😍 any other hypotheses? Btw I SO have to reread Ari and Dante for the 100th time before February 🥺😊

Every day I think about how Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, a book about two gay boys of colour written by a gay man of colour, is actually getting a film and the person working on it is a trans person of colour.

Dante teaches Ari how to skate! Ari liked swimming lessons better (there were less falling), but well no one asked him (t-shirts designs from  https://lookhuman.com because they`re cool)

dante going to chicago and seeing snow for the first time. dante walking barefoot in the snow. dante deciding he will only wear shoes in the snow.

[chicagodante]

dante spends hours by the lake, his feet dangling over the edge of the wall. his shoes may or may not fall in. he could watch the water forever, mesmerized by the water. he’s freezing. his socks are damp from the spray of the waves. he sits there, writing his letters to ari. he’d feel weird writing things so personal in that tiny apartment. he thinks about ari and boys and el paso and the accident. his heart aches for the days prior to the accident. he longs for the day that were normal and perfect and calm. he misses ari, who he only hears from every couple months. he has friends, but they’re nothing like ari.
