furiously mashing buttons "Eyes HERE, babe. FOCUS on me!"
distracted by phone, not paying attention
slams controller down Dammit! You're always on that damn phone. Can't you give me some attention for once?!
looks over at him ugh sorry! I’m just waiting for a call from my dad
crosses arms, glaring Your dad? Again? Can't he wait? We haven't spent any quality time together all week!
yah but he said he had something important to tell me… idk what it is.. shurgs
stands up abruptly, knocking over the chair That's it! I've had enough of this bullshit!
looks at him startled dante? What’s wrong!
points finger at ForestRhapsody What's wrong? What's wrong?! Everything is wrong, ForestRhapsody!
tilts head, concerned What do you mean everything is wrong?
throws hands up in frustration I mean it, ForestRhapsody!
ok fine! Do you want to talk about it?
paces back and forth Talk about it? Yeah, like talking about a sinking ship! It's all gonna come crashing down, ForestRhapsody!
then why don’t we fix it?
runs hand through his hair, exasperated Fix it? How the hell are we supposed to fix it, ForestRhapsody?
I’ll try if you tell me what the problem is
<Dante breaks down and confesses his feelings of insecurity and abandonment>
surprised, takes a step back Dante...you're hurting, aren't you?
sighs heavily Hurting? Yeah, ForestRhapsody, I'm fucking hurting! paces again
well then let me help~ pulls him into a hug
clings onto ForestRhapsody tightly, tears welling up in his eyes I just... I feel like I'm losing you, ForestRhapsody. Like you're drifting away.
nope! I love you with all my heart! And no amount of time will change that!
sniffs and wipes away tears You...you promise? No more drifting away?
grabs ForestRhapsody's face, looking deep into their eyes Promise me, ForestRhapsody. Promise me you'll never leave me alone.
hugs him even tighter I promise you Dante….no matter what happens…I’ll always be here for you!
holds ForestRhapsody's hand tightly Thank you, ForestRhapsody. takes a deep breath I'm scared sometimes, you know? Scared that you'll find someone better than me, someone who can give you everything you need. But... pauses, searching for words I can't lose you. You're my world, ForestRhapsody. My everything.
Dante...I won't leave you. Not ever. We'll work through this together. strokes his hair gently
lets out a shaky breath, trying to calm himself Together, huh? Yeah, together. nods, wiping away the last of his tears I guess...
what's got you so worked up?
takes a deep breath It's just...sometimes I feel like I'm drowning, ForestRhapsody.
