Dante hummed softly as he hid his journal. He then walked out the door of his own room and headed for the stairs of their house. It's cool...

"Bonjour, Monsieur Corey," Dante said softly.

"Hello, Dante." Corey smiled, "H... How are you feeling?" Dante gave a weak thumbs up, "That's good. I... I was wondering why you've been so, so quiet. Are, are you alright?"

This surprised Dante. He stayed silent and thought. He had a new home, but he feels not so good. He loves Corey but wants his papa. He was confused but didn't care.

Corey felt dread. Why would Dante even start trusting him after a few weeks? They're not that close, and Dante was uncomfortable, along with Corey, what is going to happen!?

"I... think so."

Wait. Did he just...

"Cor-Cor... Are you Okie?"

Corey started to shiver, he snuffles, chocking on the air. Tears started to go down his face as a huge grin slowly went ear to ear, as Corey swooped Dante into his arms and hugged him tightly as he sobbed happily.

"C... Cor-Cor?" Dante was confused.

"I... I was starting to think... you didn't... didn't like me..." Corey admitted, "I honestly... love you, Dante. I really do. You can talk or scream, I'll love you the same." Corey chalked up more tears.

Corey felt two little hands hesitantly wrap around his back and squeeze him. He felt a little head rub into his chest and as the kid's cheery voice rang through his head.

"I wuv you too, Cor-Cor."

Corey felt his heart melt with glee as he let go of Dante. "Now, is there anything you wanna talk about?"

"... When's dinner, I guess..." Dante asked softly.

"Oh, uh, we... well you see... haha..."

Corey had Dante get all dressed up. Dante seems to fidget in his nice clothing, "It weally feels weird after all tis time," he says. But they went out to eat.
