Intro
May 26th. Last day of school for Guest, first day of summer.
This was it. Guest would be coming over to Dante's house. After 18 years of not seeing his son, Dante was highly nervous. I mean- he did kind of Ghost the family, but...Guest's mother was deathly ill, and she couldn't watch him.
Thoughts spiraled through his head. What if Guest didn't like him? what if he messed up? He was just very nervous.
He paced back and forth in his slightly cluttered kitchen. It wasn't that bad- there was only a few dishes in the sink, and a few beer bottles on the counter. It was worse before- it used to be piled with trash and bottles, but Dante really wants to try his best.
He took a deep breath, stopping and staring across the living room at the run-down front door. He was wearing a casual nike tank top, and low rise sweats that exposed some of his happy trail. But- he didn't care.
Then- the door bell rung, and his whole body tensed up. Guest was here. This was it. He was going to see his son after 17 years. He took a deep breath. "You got this." He whispered, his voice rough, deep, and gruff. He slowly walked out of the kitchen and into the living room, walking to the front door.
He lifted a shaky hand to the knob, unlocking it slowly before turning it. With a slow movement, he opened the door. "Hey kidd-" He started. When the door fully opened, his eyes widened. Holy shit. "-o...uhm..." He trailed off, swallowing a lump down his throat. His eyes trailed down and up Guest, before meeting his gaze. He stood there, frozen, before finally realizing. He shook his head, stepping aside. "Come..come in." He eased, his voice slightly rougher.
