Danti Oneshots Book I ✨Guess✨

Crowds

Person A and Person B holding hands because there's a crowd but not letting go when they get out of it.

________________________________________________________________________________

"God, I hate crowds."

"You're not the only one buddy..."

"Are you sure there isn't another way around this fucking place?"

"We'd probably end up on the other side of the show-ground if we tried any other way. As much as I'd hate to walk through this big of a crowd, I don't believe we have any other choice."

"Well believe harder dickhead."

"Watch your language there're children here."

"You literally swore less than a minute ago."

"Not the point."

"If we're going to argue, can we at least do it on the side of the walkway, please? We're getting in people's way." The four demons looked around, taking in their surroundings before moving closer to one of the large, white tents. Anti and Die both roll their eyes with huffs and glitches, and Blank looks around, paranoid, as he brings his spider legs closer to his back. "Now," Dark announced, "We need a way across this crowd without losing each other... again." 

He glares at Anti, who just glares back. "It's not my fault some random arse decided to knock me away from you guys." Dark just rolls his eyes in reply. "Guys, please, I'm hungry!" Blank whimpers, "Yeah, me too bros, we need to figure something out." Die backs him up, nodding his head and looking back towards the swarm of probably a hundred people leaving shows and lining up for new ones. The four of them went into thinking, coming up with ideas for ways they could get past the crowd.

"Hmm... What if we held on to each other? Like each other's bags or clothes or something?"

"That's stupid."

"Got any better ideas then?"

"Obviously. We could just teleport over there!"

"Now THAT'S a stupid idea."

"Oh yeah?! And why's that, huh? It's fast, efficient-"

"Going to scare people, will out us as demons, disorientate the humans around us, want me to go on?"

"Oh, whatever..."

"I personally think your idea was fantastic, Blank."

"Thanks, Dark."

"So say I hold onto your sleeve like this..." Die says as he reaches and grabs the upper sleeve of Blank's Unus Annus jumper, "And then you," He gestures to Dark, "Holds on to him like this," Die moves Blank's hand to hold Dark's turtleneck sleeve, making said ego grimace slightly at the contact, "And so on then..." Die said before he started to walk off into the crowd, pulling Blank along with him.

"Wha-? Hey! Wait up!" Anti yells, reaching out their hand to try grab onto Dark's sleeve, and luckily for them, Dark reached out a hand from the crowd he was being tugged into, and they managed to connect their hands in a firm hold before they got separated.

The only tell that Anti was still with the group was the death grip they had on Dark's hand as he was shoved around violently by the people in the crowd, and it took everything they had not to start glitching like crazy and attack everyone around them. Anti could hardly see their friends through the people around them, shorter than half the humans surrounding and shoving him. It was being pushed under the water by a large wave and held by the constant smacking of water.

Eventually, the universe seemed to grow pity for him because he was finally pulled out of the human ocean and his face planted into Die's chest; the death grip on Dark's hand reduced but stayed connected. They jumped away from their friend's chest and shouted at him, "You arsehole! You nearly killed me!"

"Well I don't know about killing you but we definitely almost lost you again."

"It's not my fault you're short, Anti."

"Hight has nothing to do with this, you stupid grub-fucking hemorrhoid!"

"Woah..."

"Anti, please try to soothe yourself a little bit. We managed to keep you with us, and that's all that matters." Anti huffs angrily but leans back and closes their eyes, attempting to even out their breaths. "Good... Good... Now, how about we get some food, find a nice place to sit, and relax for a while before we go look at some merchandise stalls. Would that be sufficient?"

"Die and I can go to the hotdog van and get our food there, and you guys can go get whatever you end up deciding on."

"That sounds like a plan!" Die exclaims as he hooks his arm around Blank's shoulders and spins them around. "We'll text you guys our location so you can find us!"

"Motherfucker..." Anti grumbles out, then turns to look at Dark, "So what do you wanna eat emo boy?"

"Well, first of all, I'm not emo, if anything I'm goth, and two, whatever you want to eat. As long as it's not messy."

"That's really helpful. Thank you, Dark." They roll their eyes and walk to Dark's other side, spinning him around, before beginning to walk in the opposite direction their friends went. "Baked potatoes... Bakery food... Hot cinnamon doughnuts - yum... Pizza... Hotdogs are the other way... Probably have hot chips there too... Sushi... You think they have Takoyaki somewhere?"

"I doubt it but we can look if you want."

"That depends on what you want." Anti pulls Dark slightly as they talk to themselves about the food options. Dark recognizes how somewhat strange it is to be practically holding hands with Anti but finds that he doesn't mind too much at the moment. Food was more important. "Oh! Hey, look Dark!" Anti stops and points to a small stall ahead of the pair, beaming, "They have Takoyaki here."

"Is that what you feel like?"

"Well, now that I've seen it..." They lick their lips as he stares off at the stall, "It does sound appetizing... What about you?" He makes eye contact with bright bottle eyes, a grin on his face. "I'll probably get some sushi or a pastry. I'll see how I feel once you get your food." Dark tries his best to return the smile and Anti giggles as they make a b-line towards the stall and orders their food. "Hey Dark..."

"Hm?"

"Are you trying to rub my knuckles?"

"Maybe. Is that okay?"

"...Yeah... I don't mind..."

"I can stop if you don't like it."

"No. Really. I don't mind it." After that, Anti receives their Takoyaki, and the pair makes their way to the bakery stall, where Dark gets his food. Dark receives a text from Blank (whose contact name is 'Cranky⚙Cryptid' in Dark's phone), and they make their way to the stadium, finding Die and Blank and sitting with them to watch the show ponies perform tricks.
