Better Man [Danny Phantom.exe (Smut/fluff)]

Chapter 4

Danny's POV:

I walk over to our small table in awe. Y/N seems to have cooked some blueberry pancakes topped with whipped cream, more blueberries, and some maple syrup. She looks at me and smiles.

"Y/N you really didn't have to-" she cuts me off.

"Yes, I did, after you paid for dinner last night then putting me to bed I had to do something to thank you." She says rubbing the back of her neck. I just nod and thank her as we both sit in silence enjoying breakfast. She's about halfway done eating when she looks to have forgotten something and quickly gets up and heads to the kitchen. I watch her pull something from the fridge, she begins to pour something and adds ice cream and whipped cream to it. She walks back over placing two iced coffees down on the table. I thank her again but she tells me not to worry about it. I notice she seems to be thinking about something.

"What's on your mind?" I ask trying not to sound pushy.

"Oh I was just trying to think of the name of the song you were humming last night, I know it but I can't remember where from," she says before taking a spoonful of whipped cream. I only just then recall myself humming it to her last night before she fell asleep.

"Oh it's 'So this is love' from cinderella my mother used to sing it to me all the time as a kid," I say, I don't think I've ever sung it to anyone and I just hummed it to the girl I met yesterday.

"Oh that's so cool! that must be where I know it from I used to watch Cinderella all the time as a kid," she says laughing a bit. All of a sudden there's a knock at the door. I get up to answer it, when I open the door I see a letter left on the floor. I pick it up and look around before heading back into the apartment.

"What was it?" Y/N says as she's picking up the empty dishes and putting them in our washing machine.

"It seems to be a letter of sorts addressed to the both of us, odd," I say a little confused. I open up the letter and begin to read.

Dearest Y/N and Danny,

We are pleased to me writing you both this invitation to the annual celebration of the establishment of the town. The theme this year is black tie. Be there Friday night next fortnight from 7 pm onwards.

Hope to see you both there,
Council.

"It's an invite to the annual celebration of the town's establishment," I say looking at her, I suppose they must have sent this out to every resident in town or perhaps new people in town who don't already know about it. I try to think about what I'd wear as the invite stated it was black-tie themed which means suits and elegant dresses.

"What's the dress code?" Y/N speaks up, I just realised I forgot to read out all the information from the invite to her.

"Black tie and it's in two weeks Friday 7 pm," I say informing her of the details of the celebration.

Y/N POV:

I notice that Danny seems quite excited about this whole black-tie event, he must like the idea of wearing a suit. Me, however, I'm not particularly thrilled though, growing up I was always told I didn't look good in dresses so it's a bit scary. I get the feeling that Danny can tell I'm not thrilled by the idea.

"Y/N? Is everything okay?" Danny asked me with concern visual on his facial expression. I'm not sure if I'm comfortable enough to tell him how I'm feeling about this, but if we are to go together then I need to tell him. I tell him to come to sit with me on the couch, as we sit I turn my body to face him and sigh, I tell him how my mother used to push her insecurities onto me as a kid. I tell him how everytime I wore a dress my family would say things like 'she's asking for it', I explain to him that because of the treatment of my family I get really insecure when I'm wearing dresses. At this point I'm crying, I hate crying, he probably thinks I'm a total cry baby. I'm silently crying when I feel a sudden warm embrace. It's Danny, he hasn't said a word and has listened to me this whole time.

"I just wanted to say, whatever your Mum has said to you in the past regarding your appearance is her jealousy and attempt to help you not look like she does, it's fucked no matter what though. I'm sure you'll look absoloughtly stunning in a dress, if you want we can go shopping for something together." He says pulling away from our embrace to look at me. He wipes a tear from my face and his facial expression is as if he's hurt to see me hurt.

"I'm sorry, I cry too much," I say to him trying to stop myself from crying, he grabs my hand as I attempt to wipe my tears and holds it still not breaking eye contact. A sad expression crosses his face before he spoke again.

"Y/N, It's okay to cry, you don't need to apologise, okay? I care about you," he says pulling my hand in closer to his chest smiling slightly.

As it's still morning after I had calmed down we decided to go shopping for out outfits for the night. I get dressed and wait for Danny to be done. I find myself looking in the mirror we have hanging up in the lounge room, I apply my lipstick then put some gloss over the top of it. I turn to see Danny looking at me his jaw dropped slightly. I look at him and cock an eyebrow along with a slight smile.
