New Princess (Dante x Reader)

14

   I was thinking about... well, I was thinking about a lot of things. Here, let me fill you in.

   I was sleeping peacefully, but when I woke up, I noticed Dante was staring at my hand and holding it, rubbing his thumb over my knuckles. It was calming, but still, I asked him what he was doing, and he responded,

   "The nurse came and got me. Said you were crying for me in the middle of the night and you weren't waking up when she shook you. I sat where I am right now, and you were still crying. I felt horrible, you shouldn't ever have to cry, so I grabbed your hand and told you I was here. You calmed down, so I decided to stay and let the poor nurse get some rest."

   I sighed, my brain reeling. Why did I cry out for Dante? Was the main thought on my mind, puzzling me beyond the abyss. It's probably because he was the first person to come to mind.. "He has been interacting with me a lot, so it makes sense." Dante walked in, two plates of eggs, bacon, toast, and two glasses of water in hand.

   "What makes sense?" I jumped slightly. I shook my head and reached for the plate closest to me, frowning as he moved it away from me, knowing I'm on strict bedrest, and I hate disobeying what has kept me healthy for the last twenty-one years. "You get food when you tell me what makes sense." I told him I was debating about the answer to a math question I made up, and accidently spoke aloud. He didn't buy it, but he still gave me food.

    I sighed, running my hand over a few of the small scars on my hand from the incident, only little thorn scratches, but within moments, I was lost in my thoughts again, which were surprisingly empty today. I began make little stories in my head again until Dante interrupted me. "Whatcha thinkin' 'bout?" I rolled my eyes and offered to tell him a story. That's what we did for the rest of the day, me writing them down when Dante had to leave for class. Just because he's taking care of me doesn't mean he can skip classes. I get to skip classes because I'm on bedrest, but the nurse brought me the notes and recording of the day's lectures. I slowly got through the day's lessons, finishing them and waiting for Dante so I can hand them off to Dante and have him turn them in.
