"Also the purpose of life isn't death, it's paying taxes...you're a living profit for the government."
He broke into quiet laughter. "You're so random."
I shrugged and folded in my arms. "It helps keep me distracted though," I murmured. He leaned o...
A/N: before we start...it gets a lil heated and man...i suck at writing that stuff so bare with me...i tried...anyway, continue 🥰
DANI'S POV
Izzy looked brighter, if that makes any sense. His eyes weren't tired or glossy, or red. He wasn't slurring his words, or shaking at all. He wasn't nervous anymore, or gloomy.
I never saw him like this, I'd always seen him on something. It felt like a completely different dimension.
"Who's that?" A guy asked as I walked in. He couldn't be any older than a teen, maybe 17 or so. "Danielle, this is my younger brother Tim. Tim, this is Danielle."
He instantly flashed Izzy a teasing smile, which made Izzy throw him a glare in exchange. "Shut it, dipwad," Izzy grumbled, slightly smiling. "He talks about you...a lot...even in his sleep," Tim went on anyway.
"I said shut it," Izzy laughed, embarrassed and blushing a bit. "Make me, douche-nozzle!"
"Douche-nozzle? Are we in middle school?"
And with that, they started chasing each other. Pillows were thrown, and I think I may have even seen a shoe. I didn't really do much besides lean against the wall, laughing uncontrollably.

Izzy's mom had expected Charlie, so when she saw me she was caught off guard...as anyone would be. She was ecstatic though, hugged me like I was a missed family member. She made dinner, had everyone sit down, and talk about their day. "Get any songs yet, Jeff?" She asked. I had kind of forgot that he was a rockstar for a minute. He seemed so comfortable here, helping out with cleaning and making jokes left and right. Izzy sighed, "Nothing yet."
His mom gave him an encouraging smile, "Maybe something will come up, now that Dani is here and all."
Izzy nudged me, flashing me a sweet smile. "We could always go sightseeing," he winked. His mom rolled her eyes, smiling and shaking her head. "Manners, boy," she said, throwing a napkin at him. He gasped playfully, "Says the one who threw a napkin."
She shrugged, "I have no idea what you're talking about, you're seeing things."
She took Izzy's and her plate, going to clean them. "Wouldn't be the first time!" Izzy threw back. I slightly pushed him, "You got jokes now, huh?"
Before he could respond, I trailed his mom and began to help her out. She smiled warmly when she noticed me, not saying much as we cleaned the dishes. As I dried the last plate, she turned to me as she wanted to say something. She waited a few minutes, trying to find what she wanted to say exactly.
"I haven't seen him that happy, in a long time...thank you."
She walked off before I could say anything. I didn't even know what to say.
IZZY'S POV
"Oh my gosh, teen Izzy was obsessed with the Ramones, huh?" Dani teased, taking a look at my old room. I shrugged sheepishly, "I learned guitar, self taught, with their songs."
She sat on the edge of my bed, kind of taking it all in. Her hair wasn't exactly as blonde as it used to be, it was a bit darker. It had warm tones, like the auburn red she used to have. "I never asked, what's your natural hair color?" I asked. She gave a weird, confused look. "I'm a natural blonde...dare I ask what your natural hair color is?" She mocked. I scoffed, "The black isn't convincing?"
I sat next to her, and she started picking at my hair. "Well...no, it screams rocker fuck boy though."
"Oh, how nice."
"I try," she smiled. Silence sat between us until I remembered to talk. "I have dark brown hair, really a big change from black...I just wanted to look cool."
She laughed, "With a name like Izzy Stradlin, why would you need a dye job to look cool?"
I shrugged, "No clue."
She looked over at me and then down at her feet. When I looked over to her, she looked back up. We both awkwardly laughed. "I wasn't expecting this to be awkwardly difficult," I mumbled. "What?"
"Well you know, like..."
She didn't let me finish talking. She kissed me roughly, softening her kiss as she leaned back. I leaned in more, wrapping my arm around her waist, the other arm keeping me from falling onto the bed. I kissed her neck, which made her slightly moan. I looked up at her, seeing an embarrassed face. "What? I'm touch starved."
I just laughed and shook my head, rolling her over to lay on her back.

She wrestled a little, finding herself sitting on top of me.
"At least I know where Stradlin comes from," she mumbled.
