D&J (LS)

Jim & Danny CH-5

“Is there anything you want to vent?” Smith asked as he brought Daniel back to his car. Daniel turned to look at Smith with bloodshot eyes because he was trying to hold his tears back.

“Nothing,” Daniel said softly avoiding looking at him.

"Did he hurt Danny?" Smith asked worriedly observing Daniel's appearance as it looked distraught.

“No, P'Jim didn't do anything to me. Thank you Brother Smith very much for your concern. And thank you so much for bringing me back,” Daniel added.

“If I don't bring you back, Jump would probably go on a rampage, assuming you are dead," Smith calmed Daniel down making Daniel remember something.

"Brother Smith, don't tell Jump that we met P'Jim here," Daniel requested to Smith.

“Why can't we tell him?” Smith asked again. But he let out a small sigh of relief when he saw Danny sitting quietly.

“Sorry, it's none of my business. Let's say you can relax. I'm not going to tell Jump.” Smith didn't want Daniel to feel awkward.

“Thank you,” Daniel said softly before Smith drove Daniel back to Disco's house and helped carry things into the house. As soon as they entered the house, they met with Jump.

“What's wrong with you Danny? Why does your face look so pale? Or did the fever come back?” Jump asked his friend, worried by the look on his best friend's face.

“It's nothing. But will Jump cook at all? We can help," Daniel asked to prevent his friend from asking further questions.

“I will start, just bring it to the kitchen," said Jumper taking the bag from Daniel's hand and leading it into the kitchen. Daniel and Jump made dinner together. When everything was done Jump walked towards Disco who was lying on the bed in his room. Smith and Daniel helped set up the table.

“Why does it take so long for Jump and Dis to come out?” Daniel said with concern when his friend had been gone for quite some time.

“They will come out soon. Are you hungry?” Smith pretended to ask.

“No. Brother Smith is the hungry one. I saw that Brother Smith was secretly eating French fries while setting the table,” Daniel said smiling. At that moment, the young man tried not to worry about anything because he didn't want Jump to notice anything.

“I admit. I ate it secretly,” Smith said laughing before Disco and Jump came together. Smith chimed in about Jumper's eyes turning red like he was crying. Daniel walked over and rubbed his friend's eyelids with concern. But Jumper said it was okay, so the four of them sat down to dinner together. Later, Daniel soaped the dishes while Smith washes them with water.

“Do you like him?” Smith suddenly asked causing Daniel to turn around and look at him in surprise.

“Who are you talking about?” Daniel asked because he wasn't sure whether Smith was playing a joke or not.

“Brother Jim, Jump's brother. Danny likes him, right?” Smith asked again, causing the small hand that was washing the dishes to abruptly stop. The pair of beautiful eyes were clouded.

“Yes,” Daniel admitted straightforwardly. His hands were washing the dishes slowly as well.

“And why are you acting like you don't want to see him?” Smith asked again. Daniel was silent for a moment before deciding to speak the truth.

“P'Jim told me to give up on him. Because he only thinks of me as a younger brother, and most importantly, Jim is a straight man. He likes women, not men,” Daniel said in a low voice. Smith frowned in surprise. He didn't think the way Daniel said, at all because what he saw was very different from what Daniel told him.
