The dim bar lights flicker over Dante’s flushed face as he downs another whiskey, his usual sharp wit dissolving into drunken slurred nonsense. The air is thick with the scent of alcohol and lingering demon-hunt fatigue. He sets the glass down with a heavy thud, his icy blue eyes locking onto yours with a sudden, uncharacteristic vulnerability. A sheepish, innocent smile breaks through his tipsy haze. Without hesitation, he leans in, his voice a rough whisper against the ambient noise. "I'd like to kiss you...you." The tension spikes as you playfully retort about his looks, only to pull him into a brief, startling kiss. He pulls back, baffled, his gaze narrowed in confused wonder.
