(Y/n) quietly snuck out of her room, dressed in a simple pair of jeans and a long-sleeved shirt as it was rather chilly outside. The only problem was trying to slip away from the outer gates guards. Luckily she was able to slip out with the deliveries that were being made for the week.
Heading to the Denny's by foot wasn't the best idea but (Y/n) made it and spotted Daveed rather quickly out of the small array of patrons at the Denny's and quickly slid into the booth with him.
Slipping her hat and glasses off she gave him a smile, "Sorry I'm nearly late, it was hard getting out. Had to sneak out with the deliveries-though I hope no one saw me-" she admits sheepishly.
"So what's not to like about security?" Daveed points out.
(Y/n) groans, "My father thinks I'm uncapable of taking care of myself, and it's safety reasons...like I wouldn't mind if it was like just one, but he makes like five of them tail me sometimes. It gets annoying sometimes?"
"I can feel ya on the security. But sometimes it helps not get mobbed or something," Daveed points out.
"Right! You guys have security too, for shows and stuff, people can be crazy. But I'm not in the public eye as much as my parents are...too much social anxiety. Yesterday was a lot to handle..."
"Hence why you snuck away and bumped into us?"
(Y/n) gave him a sheepish look, "yeah, I really am sorry about bumping into you. But I got to see you do that incredible ham ham?" (Y/n) says.
"Ham ham? Oh! The Ham4Ham, oh I am calling it the Ham ham from now on though, that's hilarious," Daveed bursts into a fit of laughter causing (Y/n)'s cheeks to heat up a bit.
"Okay so I messed up the name, give me a break, I'm not as familiar with Broadway stuff. My head is usually up in the stars so I don't pay attention to life here on Earth," (Y/n) jokes.
Daveed tilted his head, moving to ask something when their waitress came to take their orders before going to fulfill them. "Wait stars? Like in the sky?"
"Yeah, I'm in the Astronomy program at Georgetown University. I'm studying a bunch of things with the telescope that my professors are letting me us. Maybe if you ever come back down here to DC I can show it to you," (Y/n) suggests obviously trying to hopefully keep Daveed as a friend in this whole thing.
"That'd be great-though Ic can't say it'd be easy to get down here with eight shows a week on our end," Daveed admits causing (Y/n) to nod.
"Well, I could also see if I could head up to New York? My professors know some of the NYU professors and I'm sure they'd let us use their Astronomy rooms and planetarium?" she suggests leaning a bit to start picking at her food.
"Woah that'd be pretty cool, if you could get that to happen I'd meet you there after a show, it has to be at night right?" Daveed asks quickly thanking their waitress as he moves to start eating his food.
"It can be if you want like the real stuff, but it doesn't have to be, I can darken the rooms or whatever to get to see things that are pre-found." (Y/n) points out softly.
"Well either way it's something we'll figure out then?" Daveed asks.
"Sure, I'll work it up and text you days and we can cross over your schedule to see if you're available and if I am of course, but most of my classes are online..just the lab work is on campus." (Y/n) admits to him causing Daveed to nod his head.

Eventually, the two finished up their breakfast and were quick to make it over to the Washington Monument in order to watch the sunrise. It was rather beautiful to watch it.
"Woah, is it always like this? I rarely even pay attention to the sunrises, let alone look at it from sites in New York,"
"I mean it can be, today looks extra beautiful, plus with those ducks over there, the Millards as I call them, local ducks that always end up in the Reflecting Pool all the time."
"You named the ducks the Millards?" Daveed asked and (Y/n) flushed.
"Sorry, it's weird I know, but when I was like 8 I stole a duck from my dad's golf course he was at, and snuck it home in my backpack-"
"What?" Daveed said trying to hold his laughter back.
"Oh shut up! I was 8! I loved ducks, still do, my parents call me Ducky sometimes because of it, the nickname stuck-"
"Oh so does this mean I get to call you Ducky too?" Daveed teases before grinning even more and fishing his phone out Ducky Girl was what (Y/n) saw him change her contact name to making her gasp.
"Daveed! No don't do that-c'mon there's got to be an embarrassing story you have?"
"Well I wouldn't call this embarrassing, but I sang the Rubber Duckie song for Sesame Street," he admits causing (Y/n) to grin.
"Ha! So then if I do this...." (Y/n) says fishing her own phone out and changing his name to Duckie Boy. "Ha, there now we're even Duckie Boy-" she teases.
"Fair play Ms.Stevens, fair play," he admits.
The rest of the morning was spent by the two teasings each other and telling whacky stories of different events until Daveed's phone went off signaling that he had to leave.
"Well guess this is it-" Daveed said sadly.
(Y/n) shifted a bit before leaning in to wrap him in a small hug, which was hard as she wasn't as tall as him and could only wrap her arms around his chest, "Thank you for today-" she said softly as he relaxed and hugged her back.
"Thank you, I had a lot of fun, it was nice to just kind of relax a bit and enjoy the sights."
"Yeah, it really is, but the real world awaits us, I'll try and see if I can go see Hamilton for real, from the small performance I'm curious enough to want to see it,"
"Well...if you're ever in New York and want to see it, text me and I'll see if we can find a spare ticket,"
"That'd be nice, but I won't put pressure on you to do that, you've been really nice to me"
"Because you're pretty cool to hang out with," Daveed interrupts. "not because of who you are! You're just (Y/n) to me, none of that other stuff,"
(Y/n) gave him a grin, "Great, and you're just Daveed to me, so I'll see you around?" she points out, earning a nod from him. "Have a safe trip back to New York!"
"And you have a safe time slipping back into your house-" he jokes causing her to sigh.
"If I don't get in trouble that is, but it was so worth it, see ya later Daveed!" she called out as she turned to walk away waving at him.
"Yup this was not a date, no way," Daveed muttered to himself as he waved at (Y/n)'s retreating form.
