summary: being a musician in a boyband isn't always fun for Daniel. 

"How's tour?" Y/n asked excitedly, taking a seat on the cushioned floor next to Anna.

Daniel smiled gently, "It's...great." Daniel spoke gingerly. "It would be so much better if you were with me" He continued easily.

"Aww, Dani" Y/n's cheeks flushed bright pink at his sweet words, and she giggled timidly.

"Aww, you two are just the cutest" Anna said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. Him and Y/n chuckled lightly on opposite ends of the FaceTime call.

"How are you two doing then?" Daniel asked with a tight smile.

"We're doing great! Keri's gonna take us snowboarding tomorrow with your family!" Y/n spoke positively. Daniel's eyes lingered fondly on Y/n's. He happily relished in the feeling of love that played in her toothy smile and soft gaze.

Daniel's blurry, muddled mind cleared as memories of past family adventures emerged at the sight of innocent kids playing in the distant snow from out the window. The snow fell as gracefully as feathers.

Daniel turned back to his phone after what seemed like ages. "That's great. I'm glad you're having so much fun." He said quietly. "I miss you guys so much." He breathed, his voice slightly wavering. The girls didn't notice the slight sadness etched in his voice. He rushed to end the call, not wanting to fall apart in front of them. "I gotta go. I love you guys!" He rushed out before hanging up. He tossed his phone to the edge of his bunk and set his face in his hands morosely.

Daniel trudged out of the interview room tiredly. His bandmates followed close behind with faces full of energy and voices dripping in excitement. The boys' brand-new freedom allowed for tons of new adventures in the unexplored town and while the other guys almost sprinted out of the building, Daniel wanted nothing more than to be alone with his thoughts. He pulled out his phone from his back pocket and tapped Y/n's name on messages nearly unknowingly, like it was muscle memory. "Daniel, come on, we're waiting outside." Jonah called gently from a few paces away. Daniel lifted his gaze and let a small smile play on his lips as he spoke. "Yeah, just a sec."

"Hi" He typed quickly, shuffling his feet slowly toward the elevator. His screen illuminated after a few seconds.

"Hey:)" Y/n responded. Daniel's tense body relaxed at the simple message from his girlfriend, and he let the corners of his lips pull upwards to form a faint smile.

"What you up to?" He continued. A moment later he received a photo from Y/n and opened his hesitantly. The image loaded to reveal Y/n with a couple other friends of theirs. The dark atmosphere sparked his memory and he remembered Oscar's birthday party. Their happy faces shone bright even in the nearly non-existent light of the club. Daniel's smile faltered at the sight of them and he couldn't help but feel a great amount of envy swallow his mood. He wanted them to be happy, but he wanted to be happy too.

"Daniel," Jonah whispered sharply again. It was only at that moment that Daniel realised he had barely moved from his initial spot, and he chuckled lightly at his friend's serious expression. He jogged over. "What's got you so glum?" Jonah asked teasingly as they headed into the empty elevator. He turned back to see Daniel truthfully upset and his expression quickly broke. "What's up, man?" He asked earnestly, setting a comforting hand on Daniel's back.
