Dante smiled. "Well, I think we've covered my non-magical skills...as for my magical ones..." Dante clasped his hands together. When he opened them again, a few glittering, luminous butterfly-like shapes fluttered away a few feet, before crumbling into sparkling light.
"Beautiful..." admired Kaith, watching them flutter away until there was nothing left. She kissed his cheek gently before running her hands along his shoulders, soaping him and smiling, "where did you learn that, lover?"
Dante shrugged. "Light isn't exactly a combat friendly element...it takes a great deal of concentration, before it can do any damage at all...so I got to practice...ah...other applications."
"Well I like these applications" she remarked, massaging his shoulders gently.
The water ran over both of them as the suds that Kaith produced began to wash away. Dante couldn't help but be transfixed by his lover, standing in front of him with a look of utmost adoration in her eyes.
Kaith smiled as she took his hands and pulled him over to her. She turned to have her back toward him as she pulled his hands around her body, finding themselves looking into their joined reflection in the mirror.
A pained expression crossed Dante's face. "Kaith? Before we do much more, I have a couple things I need to get off my chest. You've opened up your darkest side, and..." Dante swallowed hard. "I think it's only fair I do the same."
Dante sat on Kaith's bed, and looked at the floor. "You're acting like I'm...perfect, and I'm not." He felt a lump growing in his throat. "I...I've killed. Twice. The first time...soon after my parents were murdered, I followed the Sancti back to their campsite...I snuck up on them, except one backtracked...must've seen me, and thought he'd take me out quickly. All the pain...anger...sorrow...everything I was feeling, came out in one blast. Blew a hole right through him. I saw his face for...for just an instant before I ran, but it haunts me to this day. I started using to try and forget that look. Funny...because one day, I was so high...some guy tried to start something with me. Called me...something. I don't even remember. Can you imagine that? Next thing I knew, I was covered in his blood. I'm...I'm so sorry...I should have told you before, but...I was so ashamed." Tears streamed down his face. "If..if you hate me, I understand..."
The girl's face was struck with shock as tears began to swell in her eyes as well, "you... k-killed? T-twice?" She sobbed violently before going back into the washroom and firmly locked the door behind her.
Dante looked up. Before he could say anything, Kaith was in the washroom. "Please..." He said, weakly reaching for the door...realizing the weight of her fear, he head fell slack. "I...I'm sorry." He said, gathering his clothes.
The sound of her loud sobs made his heart contort painfully as he saw her accendo drifting through the door. It was lifeless and painful; all hope and love that was once in it was replaced with agonizing blackness.
"Kaith...please...I..." His heart ached...he wanted to just leave, in shame, but couldn't bring himself to. He put his hand gently on the door. "Please, I'm begging you. Come out and talk. Give me five minutes. If you never want to see me again after that, I understand, and our paths will never cross again, but...please."
Dante's hearbeat quickened as he realized what she was doing in there. The agonizing accendo began to swirl as it formed the cryptic accendo that he had seen once before... when she had overdosed.
