Danny woke up to Vlad's hands on his cheeks.
He opened his eyes, inches away from Vlad's own.
"Hey bud, what'cha doing?"
Vlad beamed, toothpaste stained cheeks slightly visible in the low light.
Danny turned on the desk lamp, sitting up. Vlad moved to his lap and rested his head against his chest.
He checked the time and sighed fondly.
7 am.
Too early for a little kid to be so awake.
He shrugged as Vlad removed himself from his lap and practically bounced around the room.
Welp, time to start the day.
Danny got Vlad ready in his little polo and shorts, taking the extra time to braid his hair into two space buns. Vlad giggled and kicked his feet, having already done the majority of his morning routine that he could do himself.
Danny pressed a quick kiss to his head before getting himself ready. He pulled on a NASA hoodie and some jeans and got his own hair into a half up-half down bun.
He hummed as he ate a breakfast bar, watching as Vlad skipped around the room playing conqueror.
He finished up and poured himself some coffee. The steaming thermos had many stickers placed on it, most of them placed by teenaged fingers who just wanted to be happy until the next battle came.
Danny took Vlad's hand, left the apartment, and started walking.
Vlad swung from his arms, giggling.
They walked until they hit an aquarium, at which Vlad begged to go in.
Danny watched with a smile as he ran around, standing on his tiptoes in order to get his face close to the glass.
They came to a smaller section, separate tanks on each wall.
Two betta fish came close to Vlad, who was at a separation point. One was red, the other green.
The green one was cautious, curious for some reason.
The red one was more eager, ramming up against the glass intently, mirroring Vlad.
It was a fun moment, when Vlad asked for small betta fish plushies and got the red and green ones.
It felt like it sealed a fate.
Who's fate, though?
