Stuck With The Weird [complete]

Character(s): The Prince, Dante
Content: Dante is drafted for babysitting duty. Imagine the extreme joy Dante feels.
Setting: A restaurant near N8 and moves along to Matinal's.
Time: week 2, evening
Warnings: None yet

Dante nearly threw his journal across the room when he read Jenet’s little note.

She was going out drinking. Okay, that was cool. Dante appreciated a few good drinks every now and then, and never objected to someone going out to have a good time. He did that pretty often himself. Sometimes he’d go with Trish, and other times he’d leave the office in her hands and go get plastered on his own.

That wasn’t the part he objected to. Not at all.

Jenet was going to a bar. Children were not allowed at bars. Jenet’s pint-sized friend was a child.

She was leaving the strange…kid…thing with him. As in his care. He’d be responsible for the little tyke. He’d have to make sure he ate all his meals and was tucked into bed at a reasonable hour.

What had Dante ever done to show Jenet that he was a kid person????!!!! One could imagine the indignity that resulted from such an implication.

“Jenet, the next time I see you, I’m going to owe you a lot more than a drink!” he yelled at the journal screen, among other choice words. She may have been hot, but she just stiffed him! This was going to be one of the worst nights ever! The kid was weird. Dante could handle weird most nights. On a good, sober night, maybe even kid. But not both. Not at once.

Dante imagined the Prince’s sunny smile and rambling sentences, and almost snapped his journal in half.

They had been in a restaurant. Had been, as in the manager had come over to their table and quietly asked them to leave. Now Dante was stalking outside the building, pacing back and forth, swearing his head off. He didn’t care if Prince heard him or not. He was pissed, and everyone was going to hear about it.

The Prince was definitely behaving now. He would be the goodliest Prince there ever was! The damper to his spirit certainly helped with this, as he was more likely to make a mess when he was excitable.

His face burned as he felt people's eyes fell upon them. The Prince was usually not embarrassed by anything, but he could tell that he had really messed up this time. He was so very, very sorry! He wanted to say something to that effect, but he decided that wasn't the best idea. Probably wise on his part; he had done enough damage that day and Dante didn't look in the least bit pleased.

The Prince remained silent as they left the marketplace and went off to eat. He absently caught the fruit Dante had thrown to him, rolling it around on the palm of his hand. He wasn't very hungry anymore. It wasn't until Dante told him to eat that The Prince did so. He had to eat and grow big and strong and... and... well, it didn't really matter right now.

Before the incident, The Prince might have asked Dante where the "long way to go" was, but The Prince kept the question to himself. Wherever Dante was going to go The Prince would go too, regardless of whether either of them wanted to be together.

[ooc: Man, I'm sorry that took so long! I really have no excuse, other than it's been pretty busy for me lately. Still, I'm really sorry, I had no right to make you wait that long. I think we can end on this note, yes?]
