1. Hit or Miss

Chapter Thirty-Two

Dan let the candles burn as we just relaxed in his bed. Not much was said for a while, but it was nice to just finally see where he spends his time privately. I let my mind wander to some of the moments he probably had in here. Times he cried, screamed, cheered, and just probably hung out. It was almost a feeling like I was discovering another side of him. I breathed out a sigh at these realizations and felt him trace my arms softly with his fingers. I looked over at him and smiled. He searched for my hand and laced my fingers with his followed by a soft kiss to my lips. His sweetness made me giggle in a way and I watched him make a face asking me to explain myself.

"Okay, I giggle because you're being so sweet right now, I may develop a cavity," he blushed a little and nodded to that so I continued, "yet I am also just feeling very, small? I think? Because you're such a wide range person. You put yourself out there and such and I am aware of so many things you've shared based on just the channel. Here though," I pointed around his room, "here is so much more important. Here, you are you. Like, you are hidden away and able to just take off your persona as an entertainer and wind down away from everything. I think that is one of the most personal details you could share." I was just lost in my rambling and hadn't noticed Dan grinning ear to ear over it. I looked over to him eventually with a smile as he shook his head. He propped himself on his elbow and rested a hand on my stomach.

"I rarely honestly get nights to just be in here without my face in more work," Dan shrugged in the dark, "I'm gonna totally agree though, that yeah, I do honestly come in here and I am genuinely myself. I will admit, like, I love the shit out of entertaining and being all goofy and it's fun as fuck, don't like think I am a miserable bastard. I do appreciate that you understand that I eventually do need to just reset. Tonight, will be one of the best ones I can get! You here with me just alone in the dark and sharing thoughts, honestly is really, really nice. Again, after our wonderful escapades I am sure this sounds totally like a bunch of horseshit, but it's true. I don't get this chance often, ever." Dan sighed with a smirk and I reached over to place a kiss on his lips. He smooched back and we both just stared into each other's eyes. The quiet of the night fell upon his bed with a lovely hint of cinnamon as well. Nothing was bothering Dan, though I did realize something important was missing.

"Baby?" I perked up coming out of our bubble for a moment.

"What's wrong, [Y/N]?" Dan sat up a little to see my face better. I looked over on different surfaces noticing our phones weren't with us. I had a moment of worry to what if someone needed us or something happened. Dan stroked my cheek seeing my slight concern for thought, "Babe? What is it?" Dan asked again and I looked back at him.

"It's not- that bad of a thing, but our phones are in the car still aren't they?" I asked him calmly as he tried to figure out where I was coming from.

"Yeah, I left them in there because I kinda had no pockets and you were more of my concern?" Dan cocked an eyebrow at me with a confused look to what he wasn't understanding.

"I'm not like, needing to check Facebook, or anything but what if something needs our attention elsewhere?" I shrugged as he nodded finally getting it.

"Agh, okay yeah, gimme one sec, I'll be back!" Dan hopped out of bed and slid open a drawer. He pulled out a pair of sweats and another t-shirt. I watched him slide them on with a smile that started creeping up on my face.

"I just noticed something!" I said almost too excited. He hopped into his other pant leg while waiting for me to continue, "you've never been seen with sweats on before I do believe." I giggled at a now slightly creeped out and confused Danny. He stood up straight with his hands on his hips now looking at me funny.

"I, uh, I mean I wear these yeah, but, do you really pay this much attention to my attire, babe? It's a little weird, not going to sugar coat that." Dan remained standing by his dresser now folding his arms. I could barely see his face and I couldn't tell is he was screwing with me.
