No One Cares || Danti ✔️

8.

"Anti... I actually need to talk to you..." Felix says with an awkward shuffle.

"Okay, what's up?" I ask curiously.

"Anti, I am so sorry for what Die did to you. I-I... I somewhat understand how you feel. He... he experimented on me too. Not with anything extremely dangerous because I'm human. We die easier. He would cut me, break bones, just hurt me in all different ways. It was horrible. The only way I got out was because I was on the brink of death. I guess he didn't want to kill me, just... put me in pain. Sean told me he put acid in your veins... can... I see?" He questions, biting his lip.

I have to process everything he said before lifting my arm.

"Holy shit... that looks bad... how much did he put in them?"

"Well... he had tubes stuck in me. He'd never stop pumping it into my veins. It weakened me a lot and it burned. It still stings a bit, but I'm okay," I say, feeling way more comfortable with him than before.

"Oh..."

"Yeah... you don't have to apologize, by the way. You don't control his actions or anything. I wouldn't purposely blame you... it's just when I seen you today... it reminded me so much of him. He just had a deadly look and it scared me. I'm not supposed to get scared. I don't understand it..."

"I don't understand it either," he said. "It's a weird emotion, but it just shows your sensitive side. Demons do get scared. It's okay. Demons act like the stereotypical male; they act like being afraid is bad, like it makes them a little bitch or something. It really doesn't. Being scared is apart of life. It's the thrill of life," he explains.

"That... actually makes me feel better about it... thank you."

"You're welcome. I heard what you said in the kitchen. Thanks for saying I wasn't Die. I'm sure any other person or demon would call me a piece of shit and stuff..."

We stand there in silence before he walks up to me, pulling me into a hug. I flinch at first, but relax into it soon after.

"Thank you for letting me explain," he smiles, pulling away.

"Thank you for explaining to me and making me feel better, it means a lot."

"I'm gonna head back up to bed. Now that, that's out of my head, I can probably get some sleep."

I pat him on the back and say goodnight before he goes, leaving me alone in the kitchen.

I never expected him to apologize. It wasn't his fault that his brother was like that. I feel like Die corrupted Felix into thinking that everything Die did wrong, was somehow Felix's fault.

I shake my head, finishing my water and putting the glass in the sink. I go into the living room and sit on the couch, pulling out the new phone Dark had gotten me on the way here.

This is gonna be a long night.
