No One Cares || Danti ✔️

"Hey, yeah, we're on our way," Dark says into the phone.

I was a wreck from last night. Guilt weighed heavily in my chest from Dark having to deal with me. Die was right... I am weak.

Dark places his hand on my thigh, "You okay, glitch?"

"Mhm," I say, not even glancing at him.

I just want to see Seán.

"Wait, what?" Dark says into the phone with a certain emotion I couldn't understand.

"I don't know, Jack. Last night... well you could probably guess what happened. Do you really think it's a good idea for him to be there?"

I turn my head towards him, but I could tell he was purposefully not looking at me.

"Okay, yeah, I'll have to talk to him. No, it's okay. We'll be there in less than 20 minutes. Bye," he presses the 'end call' button on his phone and bites his lip.

"Who's there?" I ask.

"Felix."

I swallow the panic that crawls up my throat, "oh..."

"Are you going to be okay? He's is leaving tomorrow."

"Y-yeah," I try to say confidently. "I'll be fine, it's just Felix."

"Okay..."

It's just Felix...

"Anti!" Sean runs out of the house to greet me. "Hey," he takes my face into his hands and checks out the bruises and deep cuts. "Oh Anti..."

"It's okay. I'm okay. I've looked worse," I say, trying to grin.

He looks at my arms and turns it so he could look at my veins. The veins alone were red and still stung a bit, but now that I didn't have the acid constantly flowing through them, it was slowly draining out.

He pulls me into a hug, and I gently hug back, feeling ever so safe in his arms.

"How's Felix?" I whisper.

"He's a little upset because who wouldn't be upset about losing their brother. I guess it's sorta like a Lion King thing. Die was Scar but an unsuccessful Scar because he didn't get to kill his brother."

I laugh because of his example.

"What?" He giggles.

Dark, Seán, and I walk into the house only to be greeted by Mark with Felix right behind him.

Felix is not Die. Felix is not Die. Felix is not Die. Felix is not Die. Felix is not Die. I repeat in my head, biting my tongue.

"H-hey Mark," I say, hugging him back after he snaps me out of my thoughts.

"I know what you're thinking, Anti, it's okay. Felix won't hurt you," he whispers into my ear. I smile, thanking him for the reassurance.

Dark greets Felix and I stand by Dark's side, giving a small wave. My hands are trembling, so I excuse myself and go into the bathroom.

Setting my hands on the bathroom sink, I look at myself in the mirror. I can barely recognize myself.
