secret relationship (d.s)

a/n: I will most likely do a little pt.2 for another request I got:) if you want other scenarios or anything let me know cos this was fun lol. enjoy!

It was fair to say Y/n was having a bad day. The morning rose and fell as quickly as the leaves fell from the autumn trees outside, but once it was time for the sun to descend, the hours couldn't have inched past any slower, crawling in one by one as she worked quietly behind the wooden desk after school.

It was 4:56pm when she glimpsed over at her lock screen to realise she had an hour left before the library would close for the day. The school building was quiet at that hour. Most people were revelling in the joys and relief the weekend had graciously brought and only the janitor was seen wiping down the windows in the distance.

She could barely keep her eyes open as she wrote down the last of her notes. Her fingers ached after scrolling through the pages...and documents...and slides on her laptop and her brain went practically numb from all the letters and numbers she'd stared at. The unsteady pile of books beside her was not helping either. All those thoughts of work had her craving her boyfriend's presence. She just wanted one of Daniel's hugs at that point. The warmth of his strong arms wrapped around her and the comforting beating of his tender heart right against her ear. Every aspect of Daniel's affection was practically engrained in her mind. The thought of being with him squirmed in the back of her mind, tugging at her heartstrings until she finally sighed and closed her books. She tucked her belongings into her backpack and made her way out of the library - after giving the quiet librarian a wave - and across the campus.

Y/n found herself standing behind the Seavey's front door. She knocked a couple times and heard the door handle rattle after a moment. Christian slowly came into view as the door creaked open.

Y/n cracked a gentle smile. "Hey, Y/n," Christian moved to the side to let her walk through. "How're you doing?"

"I'm okay, thanks for asking." She replied. "And you?"

Christian noticed how Y/n's shoulders slumped as she walked and the subtle frown playing at her lips, but he kept his thoughts to himself. "I'm great, just finished a self-tape." He sat on the couch nearby.

"That's great." Y/n yawned. She'd come over to the Seavey's house many times before so making herself comfortable was never an issue. Her blanket was tossed in the corner of the sofa, and she reached an arm to pull it towards her. Christian chuckled lightly as she plunked herself down and closed her eyes. The quiet of the home allowed her to enjoy some well-deserved rest. Only some, because in minutes Kobe was scampering down the hall and jumping into Y/n's arms.

"Oh my God!" Y/n lifted herself up again and pet the excited dog as he licked her. She turned towards Christian again with Kobe shuffling further into her chest. "Is Daniel home?"

Christian looked up from his phone. "Yeah, in the studio."

Y/n sent him a quiet 'thank you' before she was jumping out of her seat and rushing outside, across the patio. Kobe was quick at her heels.

Y/n had slowed down once she reached the door. She pressed her ear against the cold surface and listened in. The faint sounds of Daniel's piano playing had sailed along the studio and seeped through the small gaps of the door, dancing with the steady breeze.

The soft, bell-like melodies emitting from the piano had smeared an unmistakable grin on Y/n's face and she let her hands twist the doorknob quietly to not send Daniel out of his playing. She could sense his happiness from a mile away and today was no different. He was doing the very thing he loved after all.

The heart fluttering sight of him in an oversized, grey hoodie had her shoulders untensing and her face softening. "Hi," She greeted. She trudged over and rested her palms on his shoulders from behind. His phone leaned against the music rack, with comments and questions gradually moving upwards beside little floating hearts. The live Instagram broadcast on his phone remained totally invisible to the young, tired girl. Daniel was hardly able to utter a warning before she draped her legs across his thighs to sit on his lap.

He couldn't contain his nervous giggles as she hung her arms over his shoulders, "Hey, b-...Y/n."

"Hi," Y/n replied. She nestled her head into his chest and even clutched Daniel's arms to rest around her waist. The Instagram live played on as the young couple rested together on the bench. Daniel kept his arms wrapped tightly around his girlfriend despite his heart's intense beating.

He looked towards his phone screen again. "She's just giving me a hug." He reassured the viewers the best he could. He knew no one was buying it though. The comments were brimming with heart-eye emojis or excited comments in all caps.

Daniel peered down at his girlfriend, tucked comfortably and unbothered in his arms. "Just a really long hug." He nodded towards the screen again.

Y/n went out like a light. She was perfectly content cradled in her boyfriend's loving embrace, already drifting into a peaceful drea-

"Y/n." A sweat broke over Daniel's forehead. He snatched sneaky glances towards his phone before trying again, "Y/n!" He whispered sharply through the warm toned room.

"What?" Y/n mumbled quietly. She rubbed her eyes to spread her consciousness further.

"People are watching." Daniel jerked his head towards the phone screen in front of them.

Y/n snapped her head to look at his phone propped up against the music stand. "Oh! Ri-right." She shifted off Daniel's lap quickly. He tried to wear a smile for the audience in his phone that were very much engrossed in the situation. Y/n dropped her gaze to the floor and picked at her nails. "I'm just..." She flung her arm to gesture towards the door, "gonna go." Y/n's nervous words were barely heard through the room and Daniel's expression faltered as he watched her stride off for the living room without a second glance.

He felt terrible. He fought the urge to run after her and make sure she was okay, merely spinning back around to face the screen. "Okay," he said breathily, pressing the keys harshly to produce a muddled mess of notes. He didn't feel like playing anymore.

Daniel dragged his feet out of the studio towards the living room. He noticed Y/n sitting on the couch during the rest of his livestream and desperately wanted to make sure she was okay. Outside, the sunset bloomed beautifully, setting the sky ablaze with soft colours as Kobe played quietly on the patio. He ran towards the main house as Daniel slid open the door.

Y/n gave him a quick upward glimpse before lowering her eyes. But then she looked up again, noticing his usual soothing smile replaced with a long frown. "You okay?" She asked softly.

Daniel fell back onto the sofa with a deep huff before glancing at her. "No. I'm sorry you had to leave like that."

Y/n chuckled, "It's okay." She shuffled closer to him. Her body was angled slightly towards his and she dragged an arm to rest across his shoulders. Daniel moved to rest in between her crossed legs, and he rested his head on her chest. "We both want our relationship to be private, so...it's okay." Y/n consoled with a giggle. "I think your fans are suspicious now though." She let a smirk tug at the corner of his lips. Daniel raised his eyes to meet her sparkly eyes.

"Oh, they're definitely suspicious now." Daniel took her hand away from his shoulder and entwined their fingers in a loose grip to kiss her knuckles. He cupped her face with his other hand and kissed her lips strongly. Y/n sighed pleasantly into it, finally feeling that relief she'd been waiting for all day. That reassuring affection that pulled her into a wave of warmth and comfort. They silently enjoyed the love that danced through their bodies and in between them for a few long moments.

Daniel pulled back and intertwined their fingers again. "It won't be like this forever, Y/n."
