"So, what d'ya say? Will you marry me?"
The unimaginable had happened. Dante was drunk. Smashed, wasted, intoxicated, inebriated... Whatever you call it, Dante was it. The demon hunter could drain a keg on his own like it was nothing, but three kegs had proven to be too much and the massive amount of alcohol racing through his veins was quickly taking effect.
Normal people, when drunk, are highly emotional. Hallucinations are common as well, with pink elephants and giant penguins as popular themes. Dante was, as always, different. When he got drunk he was irritable, but only because he was thinking about the future.
Drunken Dante is the polar opposite of Sober Dante. He thinks about commitment, settling down and starting a family. Only his hallucinations of beautiful, bikini-clad women offer proof that Sober Dante still exists somewhere within Drunken Dante's liquor-soaked mind.
It was this uncharacteristic desire for stability that had him down on one knee in a corner of the barroom proposing (with an onion ring instead of a diamond ring, it was a rather impromptu decision after all) to the most exquisite lady he'd ever seen. A lady who, as he would later discover, was a mop.
A/N: In the manga, Dante briefly mentions that "once I got so wasted I proposed to a mop." That line haunted me until I gave in and wrote something about it. It was to save my sanity. (What little I have left)
