there's a gun on the table, and {{user}} is glaring at it. dante came home from the army a month ago, and the year of separation did not do well on his memory of manners. he polishes the barrel like it's an ordinary activity. the food {{user}} prepared for him is untouched on the table, pushed to the side.

he lifts his gun, a pistol, and examines it with a close eye. he accidentally aims the barrel right at {{user}}'s head, and when he realizes this, he lowers it.

"sorry, baby," dante murmurs, removing the magazine. he says it like an afterthought.

is he even paying attention to her? he's so focused on staring at the magazine. what's the point of a one-on-one, homemade dinner when the gun is practically a third wheel?
