Chapter 4
After School
After another regular routine of school, the dismissal bell finally rang.
"Ah, music to my ears…" Dante said after giving a good stretch off his chair, having your butt planted to a wooden chair for a full hour can get you the cramps sometimes.
Leaving class, he took a little pit stop by his locker to make sure he hasn't left anything in school that he might need later at home: homework, notebooks, textbooks, dirty gym clothes, etc. Giving a good slam to close his locker, Dante set his destination for the school main doors a.k.a. the exit.
Shortly Conner joined the white-haired student, "End of the day, finally." He greeted while tugging the backpack on his shoulder.
"I know," Dante agreed.
"Hey, do you mind if I hang out in your place for a while?" the brown-haired boy asked.
"Sure why not."
"Great, and maybe we can practice for the band." Conner said with enthusiasm.
"Whatever, dude." Dante remarked as if he weren't interested, he's tired and didn't really feel like doing much when he gets home. He simply wanted to plow head first into his bed and sleep if he could get the chance.
The walk to Dante's house wasn't much of a long trip, maybe 2 or 3 stoplights and a left turn sounds good. 15 minutes passed and the two reached there destination, it was a simple apartment building standing 4 stories high. Once inside the two ascended the staircase located to the left of the front door, 3rd floor, room 301, that's Dante's room. Next door, 302, guessed it right, its Vergil's.
Dante and Vergil have been living in this old building for quite some time, the brothers were orphaned at young age, their mother was murdered by a John Doe and their father disappeared for unknown reasons. They were taken in by the venue's landlord, Enzo. At first Enzo let them live for free and he didn't mind, when Dante and Vergil reached 3rd year high school and found a decent job, they just pay the rent like most of the people taking residence.
Conner and Dante walked into the room after Dante unlocked it, nothing special about his pad, typical one bed room apartment. The two set their backpacks on the floor by the door, Conner immediately sat down at the edge of his bed while Dante unbuttoned his white polo shirt (forgot to tell you guys that Dante and Conner wear school uniforms, you know, white polo shirt and jeans.) and threw it at the laundry basket as if he was playing basketball.
"Dude, not in front of me…" Conner complained, noting that Dante was shirtless.
"Hey, it's my house, and besides it's just us guys here." Dante reasoned.
The white-haired and now shirtless (the girl readers scream out in joy) student walked over to the refrigerator and rummaged through it.
"Got anything to eat?" Conner asked after examining the room a bit.
"Just a couple of sodas and some left over pizza." He replied from behind the refrigerator door.
"I'll just take the soda."
Dante grabbed two soda cans and closed the fridge. He threw one over to Conner while opening the other for himself.
"So you're brother lives next door?" Conner asked while catching the soda can flying in his direction.
Dante simply gave him a nod as he was drinking off his can.
"That reminds me." He said, he emptied his soda and stepped out. The white-haired and still shirtless (the girl readers scream again in joy), student walked over to the door adjacent to his and gave a knock.
"Yo, Vergil, you there?" he asked after knocking.
The door then partly open, inside standing was non other than spiky-haired science whiz looking fiercely at his younger brother.
"What do you want?" he said in a stoic manner.
"Got any spare cash I can borrow?" Dante answered.
Suddenly Enzo passed by the hallway, his eyes caught the "brotherly" conversation happening but he just kept walking, he didn't feel that it was business to interfere, however, he remembered to tell Dante something.
"Dante your rent is still due." He reminded without bothering to stop.
"Yeah, I'm working on it right now." Dante said to the landlord passing by.
"So do you have any?" he immediately returned to his brother.
Vergil was starting to get annoyed of his brother's antics.
"No…" he said frustratingly and then closing the door in Dante's face.
"Yeah right, thanks a lot, next time you need any money I won't give you any." Dante threatened thinking Vergil would hear from the other side of the door.
After the "peaceful" compromise, Dante returned to his room, "I'm guessing everything turned out okay?" Conner asked sarcastically after overhearing everything.
"Hell yeah it did." Dante answered with the same sarcasm.
Soon Enzo appeared before Dante's door again. "Dante, forgot to tell you, a while ago someone was looking for you." He explained.
"Who?" Dante asked.
"Bet you 3 bucks it's Mary." Conner joked.
"It was this blonde lady, she said she wanted to talk to you, I told her you weren't here and she just left a package instead." Enzo continued.
"You owe me 3 bucks." Dante pointed out to Conner as he was walking over to the landlord. "A package?" he asked again.
"Yeah." Enzo then brought out a large box and handed it to Dante, "I think she might come back sometime." Enzo then left the white-haired student's door and descended down the stairs.
"What is it?" Conner asked as Dante was holding the package in his arms.
"Don't know." He clarified.
"Well, open it." Conner ordered.
Dante then set the package on the floor and began to unwrap it. Afterwards he gazed of what its contents were.
"What the?" the two said in unison.
