When they say they love you but Ari got hit by a car so Dante didn’t

book: aristotle & dante dive into the waters of the world, by benjamin alire saenz

ARE YOU KIDDING ME THIS LOOKS SO GOOD

dante quintana would love airports bc it is one of the only places where its socially acceptable to not wear shoes

just thought of an aridante headcanon on a whim

when gay marriage was legalized aristotle and dante had decided to finally get married. why not i mean, they had thought of themselves as a married couple for years now and besides they thought it was something they need to do not just for themselves but for everyone they had known growing up who didn't live to the day. when their wedding day came it happened at ari's favorite spot in the desert. it wasn't a very large wedding but it was small either, it was attended by all their closest friends and family and that's all that they needed. during the reception a small storm had rolled and it started to rain. this didn't matter to ari and dante though, they just kicked off their shoes and started to dance. dante had encouraged all of the guests to join in and do the same and they did. with the sunset pearing through the clouds, the now cool earth beneath their feet, and the feeling of love that surrounded them aristotle and dante had never felt more connected than in this moment.

as I felt the beating of dante’s heart against the palm of my hand, I wished I could somehow reach into my chest and rip out my own heart and show dante everything that it held.

— ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DIVE INTO THE WATERS OF THE WORLD by benjamin alire sáenz

you mean to tell me I have to just go to class tomorrow and function like a normal human being when the only thing I can think about rn is how good the aristotle and dante movie was?????

aristotle mendoza:

"but you shouldn't have to fit in my definition of you."

aridante international fans, what are we doing to watch the movie?

IM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS I CANT STOP SCREAMING AAAAA

i never post but i just watched the aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe movie and it being literally just me and my three(3) family members i dragged 45 minutes away (the closest theater it was showing) was kinda hilarious

remember when deadass ari mendoza made us think he was hated by everyone at school but mf was just antisocial

- Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World

im reading (listening to) ari and dante 2 and it's so funny that everything that hunts ari is depression and gayness justlikeme

Ari, overhearing older boys talk about girls: What a bunch of morons, I don't understand, is there something wrong with me?

Ari, meeting Dante a paragraph later: A beautiful boy with a beautiful voice, god of literature, joy of life in a human form, a spark of light in my world of darkness

(Ari later, gay af: In retrospect, I should have seen that coming)

(I can't believe he didn't see it coming)
