No One Cares || Danti ✔️

29.

"Has he said anything to you since this happened?" Seán questions, gently touching my paled face. I don't flinch away; I'm like a statue in his hands.

"He said 'monster' and that was it," Dark replies, harshly and anxiously tugging at his hair. "I've never seen him like this. His screams were terrifying. It sounded like something from a movie, but it was real."

"Do you have any idea why he would say 'monster'?" The smaller male asks, and I flinch at the words, my thoughts wrapping themselves around my throat. He notices my slight movement and runs his hand through my hair. "Anti?"

Words clog my throat and Mark shifts in his stance. My head falls forward and tears start dribbling to my chin. My hands raise to my face, and I hide my face while wiping away the endless tears. My body slouches forward immensely and everything goes silent as they watch me cry, waiting for me to say something.

"I-I remember. I remember. H-he's dust and it's my fault. I was right all along. He had been corrupted. He didn't want this. He wanted Quinton. He wanted to live a beautiful life with his beautiful, future husband. I was too stupid to see that. We could've helped him. But as soon as I saw Dark's frightened face, everything turned. I'm a monster and no one can tell me different, so don't even try." My body cuts me off, and I feel bile rise as the images appeared once again.

"Anti-" Dark began before I cut him off.

"S̶̟͉̱̔̍͗͊̾̈́̚ḩ̶̬́̊̊̔̚̕͠ư̷̢͖͔͍̻̞̾́͗̀̌̌̚ţ̵͇͇͎̪͖̭̠̺̮̼͔̅̎͌ͅ ̷͇͝ư̷̢̧̪̬͍͉̠̭̙̎͊́̍̃̉̓̏̋̀p̶̡͖̥̤͇̜͕̣̣͐̉̅͂͒̋̑̓̓ͅ!̸̡̛̤̎͐̅͆͌" my voice glitches out as I got more upset. The lights flicker and glitches appear in my vision like it had before. Another surge goes off inside my head, and my body slumps back into the wall once again.

"Anti?" Dark calls, moving forward and lifting my head to look at him. My voice refused to come out, and my body is like jelly.

"Goddammit!" He screams, stomping out of the room. Seconds later, Mark follows to calm his brother down.

"Anti," Seán says, setting his hand softly on my thigh, "I need you to come back to us. Dark needs you, okay? He told me about your plans to go back to Ireland for a vacation. Don't you want to enjoy time with him? Do you understand that what you did to Die was protecting your family? I get that it was scary, seeing those memories of you being... like that. But you were only doing your part. Yes, Quinton might never forgive you, but if it weren't for you, who knows what could've happened to the other two? So no, you're not a fuckin monster, you're a savior."
