Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dante listened to her while eating his food in her plans for the day. He didn't get a chance last time to see her work because they were too busy argueing yesterday. Before he could answer her mother suggested something that nearly made him choke but he made sure no one noticed it. He wasn't sure that him and her together would lift the people's spirits. He didn't understand how that would work. Dante heard her speak to her mother carefully. She was right it didn't work the people would feel betrayed. He knew that. He tried not to bud in and say out was for certain that he would be with her. It wouldn't be a good idea to say something. He looked at her when she was talking to him. "Alright. I don't mind going with you." He said noticing that her father was looking at them as if something was wrong and he just looked some where else. "I'm done." He said after he finished the food. He excused himself.

Dante was taken by surprise when he was pulled out of there by Akira. It was odd to him and he was sure her parents thought the same. They had no idea what was going on between them now and he was okay with that. He was wondering why she did it until she stopped and spoke to him. he smiled at her. He knew she really wanted to spar with him since she mentioned it more than once now. They had time to do it today so he didn't mind fighting with her. "I would like the walk but I think I will go with helping you with your swordsmanship. That might be more interesting." He said to her with a sly smile on his lips. He really did want to know how much her guards taught her without her fathers knowledge. It wasn't impossible to beat him because he had flaws even with having surpassed his master that was the great swordsman.

Dante was excited until she tried to change what they were going to do. He sighed at it. He figured they had done enough fighting for one day that could last for a while actually since it was what was bottled up inside both of them for years since they had last saw each other and he understood her concern. "Fine. You better not back out on the next time." He told her with a serious face that broke into a smile quickly. He smiled at the idea that he would get to see her art work. "Really? I would love to since I really didn't see them yesterday." He said a bit sadly since he was there yesterday to see them and not argue but emotions were emotions."Sooo, why can't I see them?" He asked her with a smirk wondering what she would be hiding when it came to her work.

Dante smirked at her when she agreed to him. he did want to fight her but it could wait. He followed her and looked at her as he did. He couldn't help being attracted to her more now than before. He knew he would be spending most of his time with her stealing kisses from her but he wondered how long he could stay satisfied with just her cheek or forehead. He wasn't a child anymore and neither was she. He looked into the room full of her work. He sighed at what she said. "I really want to see them...but fine I'll go over here..." He pouted a bit and went to the town painting she had. It was beautiful and so realistic that he thought he was right there looking at it. It really just sucked him into it. He hadn't expected her work to be this advanced but there was a lot of time she also had without him there. Just as he improved she did too in what she wanted in her case and in his in what his father wanted of him. He didn't complain after he was assured she wouldn't see him anymore but it was nice to know she could do this. He was so into the painting that he had forgotten that he wanted to sneak a peak at what she was removing from his sight. "I really like this painting. Your skills have improved a lot." He said like he was in a daze from it.

Dante smiled when she said that she would let him have it. "Really? Thanks." He said to her happily. He did like it a lot. He was still looking at them when she spoke again about the ones she was trying to hide from him. He was confused at first as to why she had changed her mind. He listened to what she was saying and looked to her. She was blushing and he found it really cute. He hadn't seen her blush like that before. " I promise I won't." He said before looking at them. They were him and he started to blush at how much the work she did looked like him. It was like looking through a mirror. 'She was actually thinking of me a lot huh?" He thought to him self as he looked at them. She wasn't looking at him so his blush was unnoticed for now. "I-I don't think that clouded anything." He stuttered a bit to her. He was taken by the fact that she had even tried to paint him and it was a relief that she did but seeing it made him blush. Her memory of him was very good that she could it this without him being there. "I like it.." he said to her softly before looking away from her with his bright red blush. 'Maybe she liked me too....and I didn't notice it...' He thought to himself....

Dante found it kind of funny that she would ask him if doing it was creepy to him and he chuckled just a little. "If you thought it was creepy then you shouldn't have done it but I don't think so..." He said to her still blushing at the fact that she had even gone as far as drawing him in his absence.

He kept his face turned from her as he blushed. He couldn't take letting her see him blush this much over the fact that she had drawn him. "I...don't think it's weird really...." He said to her to assure her that he didn't think it was weird of her to draw him but seeing it made him think she had actually liked him like he did. He didn't think that a friend would be willing to just draw for no reason the other person like she did. "I think it would have been better if you had used the actual person though...." He blurted out without realizing the fact that he had suggested that he wanted to be her model and blushed even more at it before covering his face with his hands. "Umm...ahhh...What I mean is...I..." He sighed frustrated that he couldn't think of what to tell her and turned himself completely away from her and knelt on the floor. "You always have a way to make me like this..." He muttered to himself in his hands hoping she didn't hear. He only slipped up the fact that he liked her when she did something she normally wouldn't do and it made him act like the way he was now. He confused his thoughts.

Dante wanted too laugh when she said that she would give it weird if she found one done of her without her being a model for it. But to him the only reason he thought differently was because it showed him she was watching him closely just as he did.

He stayed on the floor with his deep blush because he was thinking or over thinking the reason for her to paint him. He saw her feet from in between his fingers and felt her hand on his shoulder. He moved his hand away from his hands and looked at her with his blush face. Her question made him aware he said it out loud and that she wasn't familiar with him acting like this. He reached for her to pull her down to him. "I can't think clearly, Aki." He said as he kept her from getting hurt. He touched her cheek gently.

Dante watched the small blush appear on her cheeks after he had spoke. He thought it was really cute that she blushed like that in front of him even if it was just a little blush. He was surprised that she had went and hugged him but what surprised him more as he held her closely to his body was what came from her lips. He let his fingers run through her silky hair still unable to think clearly he kissed her on her cheek and then her neck before resting there. "Don't say that...I will do something you may not like...." He said to her as he held her in his arms. he wasn't trying to make it seem like he was dirty minded but he had refrained from kissing her so long if he couldn't think he would do it and he wasn't entirely sure if she would receive his kiss well.
