Chapter 4 Memories & Blood
Dante put another log on the fire, while resisting the urge to sigh. Cole had been gone for quite a while now, searching for food, he should have been back by now. 'I HAVE to stop worrying about this kid! He'll be fine! He can look after himself' Dante heard the scrape of boots on the ground nearby and knew Cole was coming back.
"You took your time didn't you?" Dante asked amusedly not even turning to meet Cole as he walked to the fire and sat down next to him, a small sack in his hand, Cole rolled his eyes at this comment. "There wasn't much edible food in the village, any that there were, was either eaten by the demons or destroyed by them, I managed to find some...Ham, potatoes, carrots, sweet corn and...A couple of apple's. It'll make a good stew I guess..." Dante chuckled and regarded him with surprise.
"You can cook?" Dante questioned as Cole took out a switchblade and began peeling the potatoes and cutting then before he put then in a large cooking pot he had also brought along. "Yeah...My mother taught me..." Cole broke off and carried on cutting the potatoes quickly. Dante sighed.
"You miss her don't you?" Dante asked, hoping Cole knew who he meant, Cole sighed and Stopped peeling, he gave Dante a serious but sad look. "Of course I miss her, don't you miss your mother?" Dante nodded thoughtfully and stared at Cole; his whole body language screamed at Dante to just drop the subject. 'No way! If that's what he'll think I'll do, wrong, I let it go before, but not again'
"Cole, tell me about yourself, please" Dante murmured, Cole sighed and shook his head in disbelief and threw the last of the potatoes in the pot before he reached for the carrots. "Your bloody persistent aren't you, Look Dante back off okay? It's none of your business" Dante grinned and laughed before he reached and grabbed Cole's wrist to steady it; Cole was shaking so badly Dante feared he might stab himself.
"You're my partner, I hardly know anything about you, and you seemed scared before we entered here, so tell me what's going on..." Cole met Dante's eyes, icy blue met inky black, and Cole shivered again before he dropped the knife and threw his hands up in exasperation. "Okay! What do you want to know?" Dante chuckled and smirked. "Is what the file I read true? Are you really 24?" Cole looked at him with an 'Are you serious?' look before he laughed and nodded shaking his head. "Yes I'm 24 I lived in New York for most of my life..." Dante nodded.
"Is it true that you see premonitions?" Dante asked Cole froze and met Dante's eyes again; Cole had paled considerably again before he shook his head, lowering his eyes to the floor. "No not premonitions...ghosts..." Cole whispered the last part out so quietly that Dante almost missed it.
"Ghosts?" Dante asked disbelievingly Cole nodded quite not meeting Dante's eyes, he picked up the knife again and carried on with the carrots. "Yeah ghosts...I've seen them, they walk around like there still alive, I've seen them since I was 9 years old...I still see my mom sometimes..." Dante gulped feeling slightly guilty that he'd asked Cole in the first place. Cole saw his look and shrugged "its okay, I guess I had to tell someone that wasn't a ghost..." Dante blinked and looked confused and Cole smiled. "My psychiatrist when I was 9...he was dead when I met him, but he didn't know it, neither did I until a couple of years later, and I saw his grave and the date..."
Dante saw that Cole's hands were shaking again and reached over to take the knife from his hand again, but too late... "Ow! Shit!" Cole cried dropping the switchblade as blood splattered on the dirt floor. Dante grabbed his wrist and looked at the wound the cut wasn't too deep but it had sliced right through is artery. "It's not too bad a bit deep but it's should be okay here..." Dante tore a strip of cloth from the sack Cole carried and sighed. "I'm going to have to disinfect it some how, I don't have any antiseptic..." Cole blinked and shrugged looking at the floor, then gasped in pain.
Cole nearly had a heart attack when he saw Dante licking his wound, his mouth around Cole's cut. Cole moaned the muscles in his wrist clenching and unclenching as a strange feeling of bliss passed over him. Dante wanted to smirk. 'I think he's enjoying this...'
Cole groaned again as Dante licked away his spilt blood, while disinfecting the wound at the same time, after a minute Dante stopped and wrapped the make-shift bandage around Cole slim wrist. "Thanks." Cole muttered trying hard to push away the blush that was currently tainting his cheeks. Dante smiled and nodded, licking a last drop of blood from his lips and swallowing it. 'Wow.his blood tastes good...'
"Don't mention it; I had to disinfect it some way" 'Yeah that and I love to hear you moan...Okay too much, this is too much...' Dante sighed and picked up Cole's switchblade before he wiped it clean and handed it back to Cole, who looked at him quizzically. "I can't cook and someone has to do it". Cole burst out laughing and nodded taking the knife and carrying on once more.
~*~
It wasn't long until both had finished eating and now Cole was fast asleep next to the fire His hands supporting his head as a pillow, his long dark lashed closed over his icy blue eyes, while Dante watched him sleep. 'I can't be falling for him surely? Why...I know why, because he has that I- need-protecting vibe...but he's grown from that, he's no kid...he's a survivor...a fighter, he's proved that much...' Dante sighed, the taste of Cole's blood still lingering there, still reminding him. 'God Trish and Lucia would have a field day...I guess I'd better call them...'
Dante stood and walked a little way away from where Cole was sleeping, and pulled out the phone automatically dialling the number.
~*~
Trish and Lucia were fast asleep in the helicopters back room when the phone rang, Lucia; who had been closest to the entrance, gave a cry of shock before she fell out of the helicopter altogether. Trish had to force herself not to crack up laughing as she fumbled for the phone, and answered. "Hello? Dante?"
"Hey Trish how's things? Listen, me and Cole have cleared two of the villages already, but there seem to be a lot more demons than we originally thought, we think there hiding underground to hide there numbers". Trish sighed and shook her head as Lucia climbed back in the helicopter to listen in. "It looks like your gonna have to find the demons source and annihilate the lot, seems to be the only way, it's a big job Dante, are you sure you want to do this with Cole?"
Dante chuckled "Yeah me and him will be fine..." Trish and Lucia exchanged a look; there was something in Dante's tone of voice that wasn't quite right. "Dante are you alright you sound a bit...well a bit preoccupied!" Dante blinked at the phone and sighed.
"You guys promise not to laugh?" Trish and Lucia exchanged another look, but Trish knew where this was going, she could feel it in her veins, it HAD to be something to do with Cole.
Meanwhile Cole had woken up and lying in the same position he'd slept in and was listening with and interest to what Dante had to say. "Okay Dante we promise not to laugh okay?" Cole heard Trish say at the other end of the line, Dante paused and Cole could feel Dante's eyes on his back, checking that he was still asleep before he answered. "Well...I...it's like this...god...I don't know, I think...I think I have feelings for Cole" Cole eyes widened while all the time he wanted to jump for joy. Dante cared for him!
Trish blinked trying not to grin and looked at Lucia who regarded her with a puzzled look. Trish covered the mouthpiece of the phone and whispered. "Basically Dante loves Cole" Lucia blinked again and nodded a strange smile on her face "Ahh! Yaoi" Lucia giggled quietly and nodded.
Trish meanwhile went back to the phone "Okay Dante I hear you, what kind of feelings exactly?" Dante sighed in irritation, now he wished that he had never mentioned this...But Trish and Lucia WERE his best friends, so he knew they would do all they could to help him. "I don't know...I just feel as thought every time something hurts him a want to make it better, I want to..."Dante broke off not knowing what to say, he COULDN'T explain how he was feeling right now, he just couldn't...
"Dante? Listen, I think that you really care for Cole granted, but I'm not sure exactly where your feelings lie in your relationship, weather it's a friendship thing or a boyfriend thing, get to know him a bit more and you never know" Cole suppressed a sigh; so he'd have to wait, fair enough, but when Dante licked away at his blood...
"Alright, thanks Trish" Without another word Dante cut off the line and walked back to the fire, throwing another log on as he went. Cole closed his eyes and steadied his breathing, within 30 second he was fast asleep again, Dante watching over him once more...
