Chapter 9-A night out
I spend the next eight weeks morning Sherlock's death, confided within my room. Soon I began to hallucinate, cuddling the image of Sherlock I knew as my own. Also I began to speak like how I do now, dead, lifeless almost as if I'm without a soul...without a heart.
"Kid..come on. You know Sherlock wouldnt want you bein' all upset." I hear Dante say.
I twist in my bed to stare at the closed door. "He's right." I look at Sherlock's ghost at the end of my bed. "I cant.." I whisper, my voice raw. I dont believe in ghosts and I know I'm going crazy but...it's still Sherlock.
"Yes you can. Please Arrow...for me, you have to stop and move on. Please."
the image pleads, drifting next to me. I stay silent. "Is that really what you want?" I ask, not moving. "Yes. Live your life."

"He wont listen." Dante sniffs as he talks to his mothers amulet.
"Have you tried?"
Vergil asks from the chain. "Yeah of course!..He's just so stubburn!" Dante sighs throwing himself on the couch.
"You really cant come back can you?" he could hears his answer from Vergil's sigh. "Nope. You need to move on Dante. My power will soon run dry and you'll be on your own again." Dante shakes his head. "Okay,okay...I get it. I miss you and I love you." He kisses the pendent. "I miss you and love you too baby brother. Go and talk to him. He needs your comfort as much as you need his." And with that, the jewel went dim. Dante sighs as he lays his head back on the sofa and remembers the last night he spent with Vergil.
"Cant they quit it?" Vergil asked with a smile as he laid in bed and listened to the moans from the bedroom below. "Oh come on Verg! Let them go at it! Hell that kid had as much pent up sex tension with Sherly since, what five? I mean we got all of ours out." Dante shrugged, looking at a gun magzine, lying next to his mate.
"Not all of it..." Vergil purred, tilting his head to attack Dante's neck. "Got that right." Dante moaned, throwing his magzine somewhere on the floor as he wrapping his arms around his lover's neck.
"Dante~" Dante shivered as Vergil's growl sent volts down his spine. Vergil made quick work of his clothes and Dantes pants(THAT'S why Dante doesnt wear shirts. Little tease!)
Vergil grabbed Dante's ankles and pulled him in to a full laying position. Dante blushed as he watched Vergil eye him and lick his lips. "So delicious~ My Dante.." the older male snaked up between Dante's legs-
Dante's train of thought is cut off by the sound of Nero's bedroom creaking open. Dante jumps up to spot Nero...looking like shit.
"Jeez kid..." Nero's once bright stromy blue eyes are dull and died as he looks at Dante. Nero's face is suken in by no food for days(He ate yesterday but only 'cause Dante shoved in down his throut), the small five o' clock shadow and again, his eyes, made Dante's heart twist. The older half-demon slowly walks over to the pained kid-adult(He is 22. Even though the only thing that changed was he grew two inches) and wraps his arms around him. Nero doesnt do anything and maybe if the old man had paid more attetion he would see the small blush and smile the crept upon the youngers face.
"I dont like down in the shitter people. I 'specially dont like seeing you like this so! Go upstairs, wash up and I got a surprise." Dante winks, trying to hide the sudden pounding of his heart and the warmth in his stomach. "...Okay...Dante." Nero slightly smiles, heading upstairs. Dante stares after him in shock as his heart stops. He quickly snaps out of it and takes out his phone. "Trish, still got those...ya know tickets?" Dante asks.
"Mm-mm...It's for Nero.. Shut up! It's not like that... Your wrong. I just want to help him feel better...Yeah but-...I...I dont know why... Just get the tickets over here okay? Bye." Dante hangs up and smiles at the thought of Nero's smiling face. Along with that, a question rattles around in his head. 'Why am I so excitied...? Why am I trying so hard for this kid..?'
"Shit kid...What have you done to me?"
Nero POV
"Okay...so what surprise?" I walk back downstairs to find Dante with his coat on. "Where we're goin' it's a surprise but I know you'll like it." Dante gives his trademark grin and I blush. 'Snap out of it! What's wrong with me?' Then the thought of going outside...it hits me and I get a small scared feeling. I shuffle my feet uncomfurtably. I'm guessing Dante notices 'cuz he walks over to me and places his hand on my shoulder. "Come on kid! It'll be fun." I look up to spot worry in his eyes. 'Shiiiit!'
"Fuckin!...fine. Lemme get my coat.." I head to my room. As I get my coat and arm wrapping I spot myself in the mirrior. I look...better. The shadow is gone from my chin, I trimmed my hair and I look a bit healthier. 'All thanks to Dante...' I shake my head and hurry out to Dante.
"Come on! We're walking!" Dante grins, jumping out the door. "To WHERE?" I yell, chasing my housemate(he never really signed my papers. Thank god!)down the street.
"What are we doing here?" I gulp some breath as I finally catch up to Dante. He point to the sign above us. "Holy fuck! B-but...! We dont have tic-" My hearts racing. I look at Dante then stare up at the lit up letters above my head again;
Phantom Of The Opera
A pair of tickets come in veiw and I follow them to the old man's smiling face. "You-HOW?" I jump up and down and quickly grab one of the tickets. "Well, Trish tried to 'sell' me these and I'm not stupid and I prefer rock so I turned her down. I called her in and she said she still had them and I knew you like the show so...yeah." Dante blushes and rubs the back of his neck. I smile and laugh a bit. "Awwwww! Did I just make you blush?" I tease, blushing a little myself.
"Wha-N-No! The heat and m-my coat...Come on lets get in!" Dante drags me inside and I can honestly say that I'm happy for the first time in a long time.
"Wow! That was...AMAZING!" I jump out of my seat, clapping with the everyone else in the theater...except for the lazy old guy next to me. "Wake up!" I kick the old man next to me.
"Wha..? It's over?" Dante jolts out his chair and yawns. "Yep! Thank you. This means alot to me." I tell him as we walk out. "Huh? It's nothing kid...Just nice to see you all happy again, ya know?" he smiles and laughs, patting me hard on the back. "You too." I smile, remembering how upset he was. "Yeah...You know? If this happened and you werent here, I dont think I would be out here, hell I dont think I'd be alive! You've helped me more then you could imagine kid." we stop in front of DMC and I turn to him. My stomach starts to flutter at seeing the soft side of Dante...I blush and brush my nose with my thumb. "H-hey! I didnt do anything! Your stronger then you think." I place my hand on his arm. I shock runs down my spine and I feel Dante shiver under my bringer. We lock eyes and...my hearts racing and I just wanna...
'kiss 'im.'
I feel a drop of water hit my head and I look up to the sky. "Shit! Come on, kid!" He drags me inside as the rain starts to pour down.
'Fuck...I think I'm in love.'
