No One Cares || Danti ✔️

•I'm impatient and I wanna publish these all at once 😂 but I'll hold the rest of the chapters after this one•

When we pull up in our driveway, I just stare at the house. It's been so long.

Dark gets out and comes to my side, opening the door and picking me up. One arm goes under my knees and the other holds up my back.

"You okay?" He asks, walking inside the house.

"Mhm," I say, letting my head fall onto his shoulder.

"I'm going to go pack our bags, okay?"

"Don't leave me alone, Dark, please," I whisper, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I won't, I won't. It's okay, baby."

He walks us into our bedroom and sets me down gently on the bed.

He zips throughout the room, throwing clothes in the duffel bag, while I sit there patiently waiting for him to be done.

"Are you hungry?" He asks. I shake my head.

He comes up to me and stands in between my legs. He takes ahold of my face, brushing my cheek with his thumb. "Anti, you've been gone for 2 weeks. I bet he didn't even feed you. Are you sure you don't want to eat?"

"I'm fine, Dark," I say softly, indicating that I just wanted to go sleep with him by my side. Demons don't necessarily need to eat, but it keeps our strength up.

He goes over to his side of the bed, unaware of Die's blood still clinging to his clothing.

"Dark, you still have blood on your clothes," I point out, not wanting him to dirty our sheets.

"Oh, right." He slips off his shirt and unbuttons his jeans, leaving him in his boxers.

"C'mere," he says, reaching out to me like a child.

I crawl over to him and get under the covers, feeling immediate warmth.

"I missed you," I say.

He sits up and puts one hand on my hip, while the other supports him. I reach up and brush his cheek, feeling sparks whenever I touch him.

"I missed you too."

I wake up sobbing and screaming, flailing my arms around to try and get away. Images flash through my head, making my body act on its own.

"Anti! Anti, it's me, Dark. It's okay! Baby, it's okay!" He holds my arms down and puts his hand on my face.

I squeeze my eyes shut and curl into a sobbing ball.

"Dammit, I knew this would happen," Dark mutters, sitting up and pulling me into his lap.

"It's okay, I've got you. I'm here. It's okay, shh," he sways us, trying to comfort me.

My body trembles with fear while I try to control my breathing. This won't be the first time. I'm well aware of that.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. It's okay. I'll protect you." Dark rocks my body. SoonX my eyelids become heavy, forcing me back into the darkness.
