Chapter Thirty-Nine : Their acceptance

Y/N hesitated at the door, she knew Dante would be right on the other side. Was he mad or disappointed, she hoped it was neither obviously. Kawaii~Chan gave her shoulder a soft, reassuring squeeze, "You know he could never stay mad at you.. but I doubt he's even mad.."

After that, she went to the toy room to keep Nekoette busy while they talked. 

She slowly opened the door to see Dante sitting on the doorstep, rubbing his head lightly.

He stood up as soon as he heard the door open, however, he wasn't startled. He must've expected her to come out and talk. 

"Dante?"

He slowly got up and turned towards her, 

"Y/N.. Why didn't you tell us this before? Why lie from the very start?" Him addressing her with her given name straight away was somewhat of a shock to her. 

"Well I-" she didn't know how to tell him, worried that might make him mad by giving him no response, she started stuttering.

Dante sighed, putting both his hands on her shoulders. "Hey, hey, I need you to calm down alright..?" 

He pulled her into a hug, "I'm here, you can tell me anything."

"B-but it's so much to tell and not telling you my name wasn't the only thing I did.."

"Tell me.. is it all really that bad..?"

As her eyes started watering she started hugging Dante back, "I've done some terrible things Dante.." she let out a choked sob as tears started flowing.

"I just-" she takes short breaths, "I just didn't want you guys to see me as a horrible person for what I've done.."

"I'm sure that whatever you've done, you've done for your own or someone else's safety."

He hugs her tighter, feeling his eyes start to water aswell, "I wouldn't blame you one bit for anything you've done." 

See, in Dante's eyes, she's still that girl that came and lived with them, changing their lives. But what he also saw was a brave woman who could fight her own battles. 

Of course, she blended into the family well right away and they accepted her as she was. Now the least they could do is accept her and her past. Since you can't can't have one without the other. 

They both stood there for a few minutes hugging, crying, until they finally calmed down. Y/N pulled away from the hug to wipe her tears. 

"Dante, I want to tell you guys what really happened."

"Listen I don't want you to feel forced to tell us anything," he wiped his now red and puffy eyes. 

"If I don't tell you now I doubt I'd ever be ready. Best to just get it over with before I have another breakdown." She rubbed her now tired eyes and grabbed a handkerchief she had and blew her nose.

She crumpled it up, throwing it in her trash bin once she got inside. 

Kawaii~Chan was in the kitchen making them all something to eat, Nekoette sitting in the living room, Dante and Y/N went over to help. As they did that, Y/N started telling them about her actual parents. How they helped her, loved her, protected her until they were killed. 

She then continued on to explain everything else that had led to her living there in Phoenix drop. The good and the bad of course. 

Both Kawaii~Chan and Dante listened well to the girl who was pouring her heart and story out to them.  

Once they were done cooking, Y/N was finished catching them up on her life. They both looked at her in awe as she set the table for them to eat. A young woman going through that much sounded terrible to them.
