"Darling, please don't joke around like that. You almost gave me a heart attack." Danny said, holding his chest with his right hand. You stare at him, crossing your arms as you keep your eyes on him. "You're not joking?"

"Of course I'm not, Danny. You were in pain last time, that's not happening again."

"So you care about me?"

"Yes, I do. Now hurry up and change so I can go to sleep." You said, flicking his forehead with your middle finger to your thumb. He rubbed the spot as you walked over to the couch to sit down. You crossed your legs and arms, staring at the paused screen.

"Do you want your phone back?"

"Yes."

"Goodnight darling. Dream about me, okay?" Danny says as he pulls the blanket over his legs.

"Whatever, just go to sleep." You said, scrolling through your phone.

"You were the one who said you were tried, why are you on your phone?"

"I'm not tried anymore." You said as you continue to scroll through social media. Danny heavily sighed as he reached over to your phone.

"No phone. Go to sleep. It's 11:30pm. You have work in the morning." Danny said, placing your phone on the nightstand.

"But I don't have to be there all the time, just let me look at one more video."
You said as you turned around to look a Danny's face.

"No phone. Got to sleep." He said.

You sighed, getting up to reach your phone. Danny quickly acted, pinning you down to the bed as you made eye contact with him. Strands of hair fell down from his locks to his forehead. "What did I say?" He said in his deep raspy voice.

You quickly shut up, swallowing your words, looking at him as he narrowed his eyes at you. "Have a wonderful night, darling." He smiled as he went on his side of the bed and fell asleep. You sighed, staring at the ceiling as your eyes slowly begin to shut. Darkness took over as you peacefully fell asleep.

"Wake up, a**hole!!" You said, banging the wooden spoon to the bottom of the pot. Danny shuffled and turned, trying to cancel the noise in the room. "Wake up, Danny boy!! It's time to eat breakfast!!" You said, repeating banging the pot.

"Okay! I'm up! Are you happy!?" He said, look at you with anger. "Not really, walk to the kitchen and eat before your food gets cold."

He walked out of bed and hitting you with his shoulder as he walked passed you. "Calm down, Jamal. Don't pull out the nine." You said, laughing to yourself. Danny scoffed as he walked out his room, heading to the kitchen to eat. You walked after him as he sat at the dining room table. You had cooked up so scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, with a glass of orange. You sat your plate down and started to eat. The silence wasn't awkward but wasn't calming either, you try to find some words to say as you continue eating your food.

"Do you like it?" You asked as you reach over to drink your cup. "Of course, it's delightful."

Now the atmosphere was awkward. Danny finished his plate and put his dish in the sink. "Are you going to work today?"

"I guess, I don't have anything else to do." You said, getting up to clean your dish. Danny stopped you, grabbing the plate as he washed it for you. You give him a silent thanks as you grab your bags.

"Thank you for letting me stay here for a while, it was...refreshing." You said, looking at him. His muscles flex as he heard your compliment; he was happy that you had a great time.

"I'm always here, have a great day darling." He said with a wink. You giggled, covering your smile with your hand. He loves your smile and laugh. He thought it was so cute. You walked out the door, waving goodbye as you closed his door. Something didn't feel right, you felt sad.

"We haven't talked in months! Did I do something wrong?" You said, getting a little nervous.

"Honey boo boo, you are totally fine! He smiled at you, right?" Mingi asked.

You nodded.

"Okay then! Stop sweating about it."

"We're literally in a gym." You said, lifting up the dumbbells.

"You know what I meant." He said, watching you lift up the weights. "You know, if I wasn't gay, I would totally date you."

"Thanks, but no."

"Damn, the rejection." A man said; we turned around and saw Mingi's boyfriend, Darius.

"Hey baby!!" Mingi said, kissing his cheek. You smiled as you continue to lift weights. "How was your day?"

"It was alright, I just wanna relax and take a hot bath with you." Darius said, bopping his nose.

"I would love that." He did back, giving him another kiss. You sighed, put the weights down.

"What happen?" Darius asked, pointing at you.

"Boy problems."

"I don't have boy problems and I'm totally fine!" You said, going over to the rack bench.

"We were just talking that Danny boy you like and you worrying about him."

"He's just a friend."

"Just a friend my ass, you like him. Besides, you won't be here at the gym working out if you're stress about someone or something." Mingi said.

You sighed, lifting the 45 lb weight. "It's been 2 months, he will usually bother me at work or spam call me."

"Look at the bright side, no one is talking about your relationship on the news anymore." Darius said, trying to lighten up the mood.

"You're right." You said, placing the weight back in its position. "I'm going to his house today."

"Without tell him?"

"Yes."

"I think that's a bad idea."

"It'll be fine, trust me."

Mingi sighed, "Alright, but be careful."

"Okay! Love you!" You sighed, giving him a kiss  on the cheek as you walk out.

"That girl's gonna be the death of me."
