anything and everything

Scene: Vivian

MissAvarice
This is the scene I wrote yesterday. Three pages on paper. And finished on here. You're welcome.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beau, Dante, and Elyse had decided to meet up on Dante's day off between lunch and dinner while Elyse was free. It had been Elyse who planned the purring though that wasn't uncommon by any means. As usual, Elyse brought treats. Probably something sweet left over from the buffet style breakfast. However, shortly into their visit, elyse asked to go somewhere private. She and the boys went to Dante and Beau's house.

"What's bothering you." Beau asked, able to pick up on Elyse's faint cues that Dante hadn't noticed. However asking to speak in private had tipped even him off.

"I saw vivian last night." Elyse said, "at the palace."
Vivian was Dante's girlfriend. She didn't work at the palace. A lot of people had friends and family at the palace though, it wasn't odd for one to visit.

"Yeah? Did you say hi?" Dante asked, not seeing anything strange about it?

"No... She was with Luik. Really close to him." Elyse tried to figure out the best way to phrase this. "Are they close friends?"

"I don't know. She's never talked about him before, but maybe he just hasn't come up." Dante shrugged. He had full confidence in Vivian. He didn't suspect anything. She was just spending time with her friend.

"She kissed him." Elyse figured she should just rip off the bandage. "I didn't follow them once they went inside but- Dante I don't want to claim that I know anything is going on. I just wanted to let you know."

"Alright. I'll uh, I'll ask her." Dante said. Kissing someone else didn't sound like Vivian but he also trusted Elyse to be able to tell if it was Vivian or not. He'd talk to Vivian tomorrow without accusing her of anything. He didn't want to ruin his relationship. He wanted Elyse to be wrong, he was sure she was.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"Hi Vivian." Beau said as she let herself into the house he and Dante shared. It was small but they liked it. Beau did most house work since he didn't make much at his part time style job. Dante paid for most of it.

"Hey Beau?" Vivian hugged him from behind since he was busy preparing dinner. She was a touchy person in a similar sense to Elyse. Hugs were a greeting for friends and family alike.  Beau was more comfortable around her than strangers however he still has some reservations around Vivian.

"Where's Dante?" Vivian asked as she released Beau.

"Changing." Beaumont answered. Dante had gotten home from work a few minutes before Vivian arrived.

"Thanks." She said, heading down the hall towards Dante's room which was across the hall from Beaumont's. He would never understand how she was so comfortable in a strangers house.

"It's me, can I come in?" Vivian knocked lightly on the door as she spoke. She then entered about getting a 'yeah' called back in return. She hardly got a glimpse of Dante as he finished pulling on his clean shirt. He ruffled his hair for that naturally messy look the girls loves. Vivian threw her arms over his shoulders and pulled him into a kiss in greeting.

"Someone's excited to see me. It's only been three days." Dante said, resting his hands on her hips. He enjoyed her cuddly tendencies.

"It's been a long three days." Vivian replied with a pout which Dante kissed away.

"Really? Has it?" Dante asked. "Elyse said you were at the palace. There's a lot to do there." He has Elyse's words stuck in his head after their discussion. Has Vivian really kissed Luik? Dante couldn't say he knew much about that man aside from the fact he cared for the children.

"She saw me?" Vivian asked. "I wasn't there long."

"You've got some friends at the palace?" Dante was truly interested in her life. If you had asked him a week ago he would have been confident he knew nearly everything about Vivian.

"Yeah a couple. I don't go there much. Just wanted to see inside the palace. I thought I might get a glimpse at the Royal family." Vivian shrugged. "I didn't, sadly."

"Mm. Do you know Luik? He's pretty friendly."

"Sorry, don't know him. " Vivian shook her head. She then went in to change the topic. "What's Beau making for dinner."

That was suspicious. "Not a clue. I was just curious about Luik since Elyse said she saw you with Luik. She said you kissed him. I told her you wouldn't do that I just," Dante sighed. "I just want to hear you say it."

"You're doubting my loyalty? Of course id never baby~ Luik is only a friend." Vivian assured Dante.

"You said you didn't know him." Dante pointed out. Her story wasn't making sense. He was starting to worry Elyse might be right.

"Can we talk about something else please?" Vivian asked.

"Viv, I'm being serious. Are you seeing another person? Are you cheating?" Dante didn't let it drop.

"Yes, okay!" Vivian threw her hands up. "But you deserve it. You cheated on me first!" 

(And that's all I wrote on paper. Now onto today's only took 15 to transfer it to online)

"How far did you and Luik go?" He crossed his arms.

"I slept with him. And you deserve everything. He's a good man. He would never betray me like you."

"I didn't cheat on you Vivian!"

"You cheat on me every night!" Vivian pressed an accusing finger against his chest. "With those wh-res at the bar every night you cheat on me! Boys and girls, flirting with them for hours on end. You can't be satisfied with just me, can you? You need everyone to be yours to be happy."

"What I say at work doesn't mean anything. It makes the customers happy. I get more tips and they keep coming back. It's for money and nothing else. I've never kissed or slept with anything of them." Dante couldn't believe she was blaming this all on him.

"I don't care what you've done physically. They think about you even after that. They want you. They don't know it's fake. You shouldn't talk to girls like that when you are already dating someone!" Vivian shoved Dante. Well more she tried. Dante was a tall male and was not weak. He couldn't be considering he had to real with overly roudy or aggressive drunks on the occasion.

Can't make tiny Gabriel try to throw out a man twice his size, despite how much he would love to watch his coworker try.

"You're not thinking right about it. Vivian it's just for money. I need all the tips I can get there." Sure he got paid but most of their money came from tips at the tavern as with most restaurants.

"I don't care. Stop." Vivian said sternly,  glaring at him. "If you wont change, this is over." 

"I think it's time you leave." Dante returned in a cold voice very few heard him use.

"Luik is way better than you anyways." Vivian clenched her fists and for a moment Dante thought she might try to hit him or break something but she only spun on her heel and stormed out of the house.

Dante sat down on his bed with a heavy sigh and rested his head in his hands. He wasn't sure how long he was there but a light knock on his open door brought his attention to Beau.

"Elyse was right?" He asked, entering to sit beside Dante. Some siblings might get mad at the intrusion after a breakup but Dante and Beau were closer than that.

Dante nodded, raising his head to face Beau. "Of course she is. Elyse is always right."

"Want to go to the forest." Beau offered.

Dante face a faint laugh.  They hadn't done that since they were young. They used to love running in the forest down the main road from the city. Sometimes they would chase after animals. Vampires could drink animal blood. It wasn't as tasty and nowhere near as nutritious but they could. It was more for the fun of chasing the animal anyways. The mindless thrill of a hunt that made the young boys feel primal.

"Yeah." He decided, placing his hand on Beau's head and giving him a playful shove. "Let's go to the forest."
