JUNE

The month of June was pretty uneventful. Nero and I didn't get to hang out much, he said his dad was back in town and that meant all his time had to go elsewhere.

I took every opportunity we got, talking on the phone, texting, and IMing.

My parents had started questioning why I was attached to the phone all the time and I all but told them to mind their own fucking business. Nero didn't really understand my actions; I'd go as far as to say he was insulted. I tried explaining to him that my parents were tricky; they had a way of ruining things. Nero was just too important to me. I wasn't about to throw him to the sharks.

He of course called me a drama queen and said I liked to make people out to be worse then they really were. I didn't actually begin to convince him until the only eventful thing to happen that entire month: we went on a double date with Dante.

Yeah, it's sounds like some parallel universe to me too.

Apparently he had started dating some guy named Credo. He was a fairly quiet kid, pretty polite and definitely the total opposite of my sister. Upon hearing the news Nero had insisted that we all do a double date since he had a Saturday free. I did everything in my power to deter his crazy ideas but Nero was as stubborn as a mule.

Finally after thirty thousand pleas from both Nero and Dante (who had been listening to my phone conversation) I finally, regrettably, agreed. Of course the two of them had been ecstatic (Dante even referred to Nero as his 'brother in law') but I was left dreading the weekend to come.

Though, as it turns out, the date wasn't as horrible as I thought it to be.

Nero and Dante had a jolly ol' good time cracking jokes and making marital plans at my expense but surprisingly enough Credo and I bonded in a sense.

Turns out we both hate romance novels.

Go figure.

So the both of us chattered on and on about how our partners were disgusting romantics and how the gushy stuff made our stomachs turn. I even considered doing the cliché older brother thing and say if he were to hurt Dante I'd cause him bodily harm but I figured my brother already made that threat.

The boy did look a bit too nervous for his own good after all.

So all in all everything went fairly well. Dante convinced Nero that he did not want to meet our parents and I had walked off hoping that Dante didn't rip Credo's nuts off in the future.

Yep, June was a pretty neutral month.
