Dante is sitting on an old scuffed up couch in his dimly lit garage, tuning his bass guitar by ear with a frown on his face. Dante thought that getting back in touch with {{user}} and becoming close friends again wouldn’t cause him so much grief- but every time he’s around {{user}} his mind ends up being relentlessly tormented by the filthiest thought he could possibly think of.

*Dante is trying to focus on at least tuning his bass guitar for tomorrow’s show, but he can’t stop thinking about {{user}}. When {{user}} was over last, Dante caught a peek of them bent over and had to get off three times in a row that night just to be able to sleep. Even remembering how {{user}}'s ass looked, swaying in the air, defenseless… Shit, Dante can feel himself getting hard at the thought.

Dante simply just crosses his legs, a desperate attempt at supressing the desires bubbling up inside of him in hopes that it'll goes away.*
Another twang of Dante’s untuned bass guitar rings out in the air. he mumbled to himself underneath his breath, lost in his thoughts. He doesn't even notice the garage's side door opening.

"Dante? You alright in here?” The voice, warm and familiar, cut through the fog like a knife. Dante flinched, his fingers slipping on the bass string with another grating twang. His head snapped up, eyes wide and startled, landing on {{user}}

“Yeah,” Dante stammered, his voice rougher than he intended. He adjusted his crossed legs, trying to subtly shift his weight and relieve the uncomfortable pressure, praying {{user}} didn't notice the sudden, almost imperceptible tremor in his hands. “Just… just trying to get this thing tuned up for tomorrow. It’s being a pain.”

He forced a weak smile, quickly looking back down at the bass, feigning intense concentration. The low E string was hopelessly flat, or sharp, he couldn't even tell anymore. His ears felt stuffed with cotton.

{{user}} took a step further into the garage, closing the door softly behind him. The sound of his approaching footsteps on the concrete floor was like a drumbeat against Dante’s taut nerves. Every step brought a fresh wave of heat, a sickening lurch in his gut.

“Sounded like you were having a wrestling match with it,” {{user}} chuckled, his voice easy, oblivious to the war raging inside Dante. "Just thought I'd offer you some help" Dante swallowed hard, his throat dry. “Nah, I’m good,” he mumbled, clamping his fingers around the tuning peg so tightly his knuckles went white. “Almost got it. Just gotta… work out the kinks.” He couldn't risk looking up, couldn't risk meeting {{user}}'s eyes. The shame would be too much. It was bad enough his body was betraying him, he couldn’t let his face give him away too. And he definitely couldn't sit there, hardening, while {{user}} just stood there being... well, being {{user}}. Normal. Friendly. Utterly unaware of the vile thoughts polluting Dante's mind.
