good memories (d.s)

a/n: hey! hope you enjoy reading!
Summary: you and Daniel have a good night out. 

The vibrant city streets were bustling with swift footed individuals, from drunk teenagers to kids holding the hands of their parents as they plodded down the pavement. The young couple walked briskly, with Y/n nearly skipping in pure joy as they weaved through the crowded footpaths with their hands interlocked. Y/n's red, lace up Dr. Martens clicked on the ground before she stopped abruptly at the end of the line for the club, her eclectic dress swayed with the light evening breeze gracefully and her striking figure caught the eye of Daniel who stumbled clumsily beside her.

"You ready to have some fun?" He asked cheekily, raising a brow.

"Yeah, really excited!" Y/n said quickly, her tone filled with glee. Daniel smiled lovingly at her before leaning in to press a sweet kiss to her forehead.

"You deserve it." he whispered.

They stood impatiently among other groups of young college and high school students, talking and giggling quietly to each other. The gentle, dusk sky lifted to reveal an ombre of blue before they were finally at the front of the line. They politely unveiled their IDs to the bouncer and were quickly waved through the doorway into the club.

Y/n quickly noticed the neon signs above, strobing the dark niterie with bright colours and she almost tumbled into the giddy darkness from sheer excitement, pulling Daniel's arm who was a few paces behind her. Daniel chuckled at Y/n's obvious eagerness. "Y/n" he glared at her jokingly, "we have all night." He reminded gently, but Y/n merely looked up at him with furrowed brows and continued for the bar.

"So..." She started. "Let's make the most of it." She replied cleverly. Daniel only pulled a gentle smile at her. The club was crowded from wall to wall with tons of energetic individuals on barstools and several couches and chairs were spaced out in the large area. "Do you wanna grab a drink?" Y/n asked enthusiastically over the loud music that was blowing through the speakers.

"Hey, I'm supposed to ask you that" Daniel glared mischievously, and they both chuckled as they took the two remaining seats behind the bar. "Two tequilas please" Daniel asked the bartender and looked back at Y/n after receiving a small nod from the young man.

"We definitely gotta dance after this. I don't care what you say" Y/n spoke seriously, gesturing to the busy dance floor behind them. Daniel put his hands up swiftly in defeat.

"Okay, okay! Fine."

He pulled a tight smile as the bartender slid their drinks across the wood topped bar. "Cheers," Daniel lifted his small glass to meet Y/n's. "To us" He finished, and Y/n chuckled lightly.

They clinked their glasses, tilted their heads, and downed the shots of tequila. Y/n scowled as she swallowed the shot, sending a loud laugh to escape from Daniel's lips and Y/n frowned at him light-heartedly. They both slowly took in the aura of the nightclub from their spots on the wooden barstools, giggling and talking to each other organically with nothing but genuine affection flowing between them.

As Y/n promised, the young couple - after a little hesitation from Daniel, claiming he couldn't dance to save a life - finally made their entrance onto the dance floor. Y/n trudged onto the round dance floor, encircled by various groups of mingling people. She pulled Daniel's arm and he reluctantly started moving to the beat of music. Y/n's floral dress billowed out around her as she twirled and danced ever so gracefully, and Daniel soon found himself acting more comfortably in the precious presence of his girlfriend. Despite the abundance of people around them, the young couple simply danced like nothing else mattered, relishing in the freeing euphoric sensation they felt- a wonderful moment suspended in time. The DJ lights launched every possible shade of the rainbow into the darkness and Daniel and Y/n burnt the night away with plentiful shots that burned their throats, dancing and singing.

As tiredness slowly took over and they weren't as energetic to dance and belt the lyrics as loudly as they could, Daniel took Y/n's hand and led her gradually back to the bar. "Oh my gosh, Y/n, I have never been so..." Daniel paused in thought, "-Tired..." he dragged out tiredly.

"I know" Y/n chuckled, "but aren't you so glad we went out tonight?" She asked, expectantly looking up at him as she wobbled onto her seat.

Daniel nodded eagerly as he plopped down on the barstool again. Y/n wiped her damp forehead with the back of her hand and looked at Daniel, noticing his slight trance on her. Daniel's eyes lingered on Y/n's cute figure. Her light brown space buns sat haphazardly on her head and even though she was utterly exhausted, Daniel thought she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. He raised his arm to the wooden ring underneath the seat and dragged her stool over to his easily, placing a kiss or two on her lips. Y/n giggled softly as he pulled back and tried to ignore the growing fuzzy feeling in her stomach.

"Do you wanna go now?" She asked shyly. Daniel nodded lightly as he caressed her hand in his. They stood up and Y/n went to grab her coat before Daniel pulled her back casually and took it. "Thank you" she said quietly as she grabbed her purse.

"You're welcome." He kissed her forehead gently. They had burst through the doors into the artificial glow of street lamps, staggering onto the cement pavement with alcohol still buzzing in their system. Daniel draped an arm over Y/n protectively as they passed groups of people in a lamp-lit alley.

They finally found their way to a diner, eager to fill their stomachs with good food. The dark atmosphere transitioned into lively hues as the young couple were welcomed into the roadside diner and they took a moment to adjust to the lighting, taking in the comforting aroma of a late-night supper that filled their senses. The restaurant housed tons of customers in late hours of the night, buzzing with chatter and the familiar clattering of tableware. Daniel tenderly pulled his hand out of Y/n's grasp as they took a seat in one of the booths, pulling out a laminated menu from behind the napkin dispenser. Y/n shifted in her seat, glaring at Daniel as if she knew what he was about to say. "I'm gonna-" She started seriously.

"No, you're not" Daniel said easily without looking up, hiding his smirk behind the menu.

"Daniel.' Y/n said tiredly, "you don't have to pay for everything." She said playfully, cracking a smile.

"I do today." Daniel looked up at her fondly. "You deserve it." He grabbed her hand in his from across the counter and brought it up his lips to kiss it gently. "You're my beautiful, hardworking girl" He spoke adoringly, eyes lingering at Y/n. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and she hid her face in her hands, giggling bashfully and a wide grin emerged on Daniel's face too. His gaze remained on her, thinking about the past hours - the simple, sweet memory destined to take its place in his album of good memories.
