Luke's, Thursday

Duke had managed to get most of the glitter off of him after last night's fiasco of a class, though his hair still sparkled faintly under the lights of Luke's. He was doing his best to ignore it and carry on as usual, and for the most part, his staff was following his lead.

For the most part.

"You smell like sunscreen," Billy said, hovering just behind Duke's shoulder as he sliced yams.

"Please stop sniffing me," Duke answered. "It's creepy."

Billy buried his nose in Duke's shoulder and inhaled. Duke rolled his eyes to the ceiling with a long suffering sigh.

Luke's was open.

"Man, people just do not change across the multiverse," Dante mused.

"Killed by demons," Dante said. "They got to my mom first. My dad managed to get me and my brother out, wiped our memories, and then they got him."

"We were seven," Dante said, shrugging. "Think he was afraid if we knew, we'd stand out more."
rebelseekspizza: (dante pb: wistful)

"Almost as bad," Dante pointed out. "I mean, you still wouldn't know shit."

"I knew how to kill a demon with a sword?" Dante offered. "Didn't actually remember my own brother, though. That was kind of fucked up."

Dante would happily chat Duke's ears off about literally all the fucked up shit in his life. It was past, shit was better now.

Except this one.

"Verg is complicated," he said, and took a thoughtful sip of his shake.

"Fuck, man, the orphanage my dad dropped me off at? Run by demons," Dante said. "It was basically the streets or juvie for me every day straight through to when I woke up at BWI Portalocity."

"Fell asleep at a bus stop, woke up just in time for Skywalker to start rounding up students at BWI," Dante said.

"Literally just had some ugly shit break my jaw six hours before," Dante said merrily. "Roof over my head, free food, no demons? Sign me up."

"Man, I can't think of a bone I didn't break before I got here," Dante said thoughtfully. "I mean, heal fast, so whatever, but still."

His relationship with pain was... messy.

"People are dicks," Dante said sympathetically, "One way or another."
