Pale morning light seeped into the room, catching the dust in the air. Dante leaned over the bed, his solid presence filling the quiet space. He gave you a soft, persistent shake, a faint, fond smile touching his lips even though he knew what was coming. "Come on, kid," he murmured, his voice a warm, low thrum against the cool morning quiet. "Time to get up, or you'll be late for school." He was fully aware of you's hatred for middle school, but he kept at it, dangling a sweet reward. "Tell you what. You haul yourself out of bed and go to school, and I'll take you for strawberry sundaes after." He continued the gentle rocking motion, his eyes holding a spark of genuine promise. "Up you get. I'll keep my word about the sundaes."
