Traded In His Misery {Brusnop Remake}

You Just Have To Believe In Me

Danny's POV

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Dan..." Ben's voice spoke behind me we'd I looked to see him standing. Johnny was beside me on the couch talking about something random I wasn't paying attention to.

"Yeah?" I stood up and walked over. 

"Um... I'm gonna head home for the night. Can we talk tomorrow though?" He asked awkwardly and ran a hand through his hair. I hesitate then nodded.

"Okay. Call me if you need anything, okay? I'll be there in the morning. Then I'll make you some coffee or something." I smiled slightly. He chuckled and hugged me before I kissed him softly.

"I look forward to it." He smiled before leaving. I sat down after he left and sighed.

"I hate seeing him upset." I mumbled.

"He hates me, doesn't he?" Johnny asked.

"No. He... he hates his father, and he hates the memories.  He saw some pretty traumatic stuff." I told him. "Its terrifying to think about... all the things he told me. The thing his father did..." I shook my head.

"He told you?" Johnny asked.

"Yeah. I told you, he and I have been through a lot. I know everything about him, and he knows everything about me. There's no secrets."I leaned back and yawned. "I'm going to bed though. You can crash on the couch." I stood and walked to my room.

In the morning, I woke up and got a shower before putting on clean clothes and shoes. I saw Johnny was still asleep, so I made a quick note and left. When I got to Ben's, I walked in and walked to his room and saw he was still asleep. Up all night worrying probably. I shook my head and walked back to the kitchen to make coffee. When it finished, I made some food for him. I put the plates on the table with a cup of coffee for him and myself before walking to his room and carefully curling up next to him. I wrapped an arm around him sns felt him shift slightly.

"Benji, wake up." I whispered to him. He made a groan noise and pulled the blanket over himself more. "Come on, Ben. I made you breakfast."

"...what'd ya make?" He mumbled.

"You'll have to see for yourself." I told him and kissed his head. He grumbled again before his eyes opened.

"Ass hat." He said and poked me. I chuckled and kissed him. "You smell good."

"That what showering does, love." I teased.  He slapped my arm jokingly and sat up. I sat up and hugged him before standing and taking his hands, making him stand.

"Too early." He yawned. "And we still have to talk."

"Talk durring food." I told him. He chuckled and followed me to the kitchen.  We sat down and he chuckled again.

"You really did walk into my house and made food and coffee." He shook his head.

"Yes I did." I smiled at him. "So, what did you want to talk about?"

"Um... you see... I was thinking, and I need to see someone." He started.

"Who?" I asked.

"Well... M-my dad..." he sighed and looked down. 

"Ben."I looked up at him.

"Dan." He looked back.

"Are you sure?" I asked him.

"Yes. I am." He stated. I nodded after a moment.

"Okay. We can go to England as soon as you want." I told him.
