Pearl Harbour One Shots.

Danny Walker X reader- Fluff.

It was just your average day in Hawaii, as average as living somewhere as beautiful as this can get. 

I try my hardest not to take Pearl Harbour for vantage because one day it could all disappear from my grip. I'm sitting around on the beach with everyone in our inner circle, such as...

Betty, Red, Evelyn, Rafe, Sandra, Gooz, Barbara, Joe, Martha, Y/N, Petty and Danny.

 We are sat round a small fire, roasting marshmallows. My favourite past time. My closest friends are Betty, Evelyn and Petty. I met petty one summer's day when he was coming to the infirmary with a bleeding, broken nose after one of his fights. He has always dreamed of getting to actually shoot those guns on the ships. He doesn't just want to be a cook, he actually wants to fight for this country, which is more than I can say for some of the other people that are here.

I don't know Rafe and Danny massively well but I know them well enough to have conversations with them.

I'm the sort of person that stays out of crowds and sits back to observe. That's exactly what I've been doing. The first time I laid my eyes on Danny, I thought he was the most breathtakingly beautiful man I'd ever seen. I always stayed in my line though. Left the pretty girls to after him, noticing him around other girls though was a bit awkward, he doesn't seem to know what to say when one goes to talk to him, he just turns red and scratches his head. 

Rafe is the more outgoing of the two. I guess that's what happens when you've been living in someone else's shadow for your whole life.

Rafe leans over to me asking me a question, "so Y/N. How are you finding Pearl Harbour?". I look at everyone stunned that someone that wasn't a sitting next to me actually spoke to me. I go crimson through embarrassment. Here's the thing I hate talking in front of a lot of people, I have social anxiety so even just sitting here with everyone's hard work. "Uh..." I start stuttering. "Yeah it's beautiful... I've never actually seen a place as beautiful". 

I grew up in a place that wasn't conventionally a safe place to raise kids, so there were no views like being here. My mother and father were alcoholics so I ended up living with my grandparents who lived in a two bedroom bungalow with there daughter Jessie. I was forced from the age of 11 to fend for myself, to get odd and sod jobs to help put the food on the table, then I got a very adept in the medical side of things. By the ages of 12 I knew every part of the body and learnt how to stitch up and open wound. One reason why I ended up becoming a nurse. 

I lean back hoping the next person talks but instead Danny asks... "have you ever seen Pearl Harbour at sunset. Well in the air?". Shocked I look at him wondering if he is talking to me. When I realise he is definitely aiming that question to me I shake my head. "I can't say I have, no. But I imagine it is breathtaking". He stands up, holding his hand out to me, "come on". Betty nudges me up, giggling to Red, Danny blushes, Rafe egging him on silently. Evelyn smirks to us. I put my hand in his as he pulls us along to the airfield. "where are we going?" I question him. "I'm going to show you pearl harbour at sunset", "I can see it now. Here". 

"No silly. I'm going to take you to the sky" he announces, making my head feel foggy. I try to calm my breathing as my pulse picks up, feeling him lift me into his plane. 

He climbs in next. He shows me his award winning smile making me almost faint just at the sight of it. "Is this safe?" I ask him after regaining my will. He eventually lifts the plane off the ground, as we go flying through the air past the airfield... "You know I could get kicked out the military for this" he reminds me, "Really?" I ask him. Danny nods, "yeah, stay down" he tells me laughing. I poke my head down till I'm sure no one could see me. We saw through the clouds watching as the sky changes from blue to orange, from orange to the most gorgeous colours. Looking down I see the evening sun cast large shadows on the ground below. I look over at Danny as he flies us through the sky, also watching the timeless view, flashing right in front of us. if I saw a view like this everyday, I'd be pretty stoked to show everyone. "I'm not surprised you wanted to show me this" I tell him, still staring out watching birds fly by, watching the clouds slowly turn into different shapes. "It's not the sort of visual experience someone could get bored of you know. I see it everyday and it still manages to take my breath away. Everytime I see it, it's different from the day before, it's like the earth is trying to show us how amazing it can really be". Y/N takes a minute just to look at him as he is in his element. Eyes can tell a lot about a person, it can show you their pain, their love, their strengths. If you look deep enough you can see anything. I always wondered how a man like him always tries to keep out of the way, always tries to hide behind someone else, but now I understand how truly selfless he is. I see how under appreciative of himself he is. I see how he hides behind people because he feels they deserve more credit. I see how bashful Danny is. 

I thought he was maybe just shy, but it goes so much deeper than that. He isn't shy, he is confident he just doesn't know how to show it. 

We watch as the day slowly turns in to night, watching the stars shine through the navy blue sky, the noon shining light down upon us showing us our way back to the ground.

As reality finally kicks back in and we are climbing out of the plane I admit, I have never been so starstruck in my life. "Danny... I.... I'm so grateful" I tell him until I feel him step closer. My breath hitches. "No one has ever been so good to me, so thank you", he steps closer and closer until there is no gap between us. I feel his slow and shallow breaths on my face creating goosebumps all up and down my body. His hands drags its way up my arm. I stop breathing, letting him do his magic. Danny's hand finally strokes my cheek, making my brain completely fog up. What was I thinking about again?

"You're so special" he whispers, I stop, "thank you?" I ask, not knowing what way to take that. "In a good way. There's something about you that draws me in, its as if there is a magnetic pull pulling me to you, and everytime I try to keep away, I can't. I just find my way back to you, find my way back to wondering what you are doing that day, wanting to know more about your life before the military" Danny admits, I look at him, shellshocked. Did he just seriously mean that or is one of the symptoms of flying, drowsiness and hallucinations?.

"Can I see you again?" he asks me politely. "Yes!" I shout then realise I probably sound too eager, "yes" I reiterate after containing myself. A smirk finds its way o his face, showing his dimples and he gapped tooth that only adds to his attractiveness. His breathing hitches as I slowly lean into him. He points my head up with his finger and looks me in the eye. Slowly, so slowly he plants a kiss on my cheek. When I tell you there were fireworks, I really mean it. 

I look back at his plane smiling. the best night of my life. He takes ahold of my hand and like the gentleman, he walks me back home, 5 minutes away from his dormitories. "Thank you again Mr Walker", I smile up at him. "Danny. Call me Danny. You don't need to thank me, I had just as much fun, if  not more". my face turns red. "I'll see you tomorrow?" I ask, he nods and watches as I walk up to my porch, the light turning on. I unlock the door and wave him goodbye. As I close the door behind me, I lean against it and just slide down, until I'm sitting in front of the door.
