Dante's Inferno

Dante Castellano || 18 || Muggle You wizard people freak me the fuck out. At least some of you are cool.

No one can be happier than me to be getting off this damn island.

[kherington-the-queen-blog]

I don’t know what else to do to make you feel cared about! Name one time, one time I’ve used you! I- [ puts her hands on her temples and takes a deep breath ] I try to appreciate you, Dante, what have i done to make it seem like I don’t?

Hey, that was not my fault. You told me yourself it wasn’t my fault! Yeah, it was because of me, but I don’t control Marcus…

[dante-castellano]

*stares at her for a moment before dropping his gaze* You're right....I'm sorry I just... she told me this is what you do..that this happens and its happened before...and the doubt was just festering... 

I never had many friends. I've been used and picked on before. Even my family wasn't too keen on being there for each other. *takes a step back* Maybe I should just go...

[kherington-the-queen-blog]

[ sighs and looks down ] No… like I said… no need to apologize… it’s not like I blame you. That’s not why I’ve kept you around though. I swear…

I don’t know what you’re suggesting. I don’t know exactly what you’d do for me… I… can’t say that I would die for you… I would do almost whatever it took to keep you safe but- why-why are you asking me all of these things? You can’t expect much of me, Dante, I’m selfish. I’d do a lot of things for you, I’m sorry if that’s not enough… and I-I don’t know how loyal you’re asking me to be… but my priority is my brother… Over everyone else, that’s who I’m loyal to… So go on, call me selfish, tell me I’ve pushed Liam away, do your worst if you want to.

[dante-castellano]

I just want to be cared about like anyone else, okay Kheri? I want actual I'm friendship. I swear to fucking god, that I'm not looking for a girlfriend or anything- but I am looking for someone who actually appreciates me and doesnt just view me as an object for their usage. 

I want to believe you...the black eye on my face is just making it a little hard to. 

[kherington-the-queen-blog]

Oh, that’s just great. [ crosses her arms ] First practically everyone hates me again, but one of the few people who doesn’t, thinks they’re nothing but a pawn in some game. [ sighs heavily ] And maybe you’ll believe me… I don’t blame you, I don’t blame anyone, really… If you care to hear my side of the story, no, I’m not. If I were do you think I would have let you stop being my slave?

[dante-castellano]

I'm sorry, but I've got the doubt in my head now. I just don't know what to do. I've heard of this story before. I would do anything for you Kheri...maybe you saw that in me and that's why you kept me around.

I dont know. But would you do the same for me? Are you just as loyal to me as I am to you? Or maybe this all is some sick game.

[kherington-the-queen-blog]

Am I what? 

[dante-castellano]

Someone told me about what you do. What you were like before I met you. Im trying to believe that you would never do that to me, but I need to hear you say it. And then maybe I'll be able to believe you.

So? Are you using me?

[kherington-the-queen-blog]

[ bites her lip ] I’m still really really sorry… It shouldn’t have happened. I’m sure it will all blow over pretty soon… Oh, umm, me? I’m alright. Nothing I haven’t been through before… Marcus and I made up, things are gonna get better. For both of us, I’m sure.

[dante-castellano]

Kheri are you using me?

[kherington-the-queen-blog]

Hey D… Just umm… checking on you… seeing how you were doing… 

[dante-castellano]

I'm pretty okay...I guess. im just lucky not everyone here is senseless. How about you?

[littlelovelylulu-blog]

Well of course it means a lot, but I’m afraid that if you hear me singing, it will be over. I sound like a cat being thrown in a tub. The most you’ll get out of me are silly twirls. Besides, who says you’re the only one in need of a smile, hmm?

[dante-castellano]

Are you saying you want me to do make you smile? Oh well I'm sorry, but I have no idea how to do that. I'm not that kinda guy.

[imperfect-ivygrace]

“Oh, well, you never said you wanted to be alone so therefore you’re stuck with me.” Ivy stated, taking one more puff of the joint before passing it back. It was a great feeling that she had been absent from for too long. The craving was back.

Ivy shook her head at his story. She had really been out of the loop, hadn’t she? “Oh, wow. I didn’t know because 1. I’ve been spending most of my time trying to keep food down or eating in general  and 2. I don’t give a single fuck about either Kherington or her boy toy. These people have more drama than the Kardashians, I swear. I’m sorry you were caught in the middle.

[dante-castellano]

"Fine, I guess I can deal with it." he said with obviously fake frustration. 

"Wow, someone who knows the Kardashians. Maybe you'd be able to understand other muggle references I make." he laughed slightly. "But yeah, it's been rough. I kinda even messed up a friendship over it. Or she messed it up...but whatever. This meadow is being a lot nicer to me than any of the people out there. Plus, this joint is nice."

[littlelovelylulu-blog]

Is that so? And I suppose you’re still in need of a smile? [ sighs dramatically before twirling around ] I am not signing. I’m sorry. Nope. No way. Find another way to smile. Sorry.

[dante-castellano]

That's all I get? Come on, I thought our friendship meant a little more than that.

[hope-for-holly-blog]

"Wha-…what?"

[dante-castellano]

"I mean that as a casual thing- friends. I like you as friends. Don't- this doesn't need to be a bigger deal than it already is." Dante said, sighing in slight frustration. 

[littlelovelylulu-blog]

[ rolls her eyes and laughs ] Well I’d offer to do a song and a dance but I’m sure you wouldn’t want to hear or see that.

[dante-castellano]

No no, I think that would be very entertaining. I think that would definitely make me smile.

[littlelovelylulu-blog]

No, I think it is your fault for not knowing exactly when I’m going to be funny, and not showing up at that precise moment. Reall you are to blame. I’m sorry.

[dante-castellano]

*scoffs then smirks* You're pretty bad at this 'making me feel better' thing.

[hope-for-holly-blog]

"Bu-but you..the-then… why di-did you sssa-sssay yo-you we-weren’t tha-that ni-that nice?" She asked, still not understanding. 

[dante-castellano]

"Because I like you, alright? I meant I wouldn't have done that if I was just putting up with you..."

[littlelovelylulu-blog]

You know it’s no fair because every time I have a good joke you’re never around. Hmph.

[dante-castellano]

It's not my fault you don't save your good material for me.

[hope-for-holly-blog]

"The-then wh-why di-why did yo-you….gi-give me me me yo-me your ja-jack-jacket?" She asked seriously and slightly nervous, and then she started biting her nails.

[dante-castellano]

"Because well that's just what a nice guy does for someone someone who doesn't have any clothes like you." Dante said, matter a factly.

[littlelovelylulu-blog]

Sooooo it wasn’t my best joke. I tried thank you very much.

[dante-castellano]

You tried, you're right Lola, that's all that matters.
