Stay [a danisnotonfire fanfiction]

Five a.m.

Hey, I'm sorry its been a while since I updated, I just got caught up reading the best fanfic ever and realised how much my writing sucks compared to that and didn't feel like writing... But I feel like I need to put something up for you guys that (weirdly) seem to be enjoying this, so, here you go! Sorry once again for the late update, and thankyou all for reading and voting and being awesome.

"Run! Dan quick, he's coming!" 

"Holy crap, he's right behind me Envy! Why does he just appear like that?!"  

"With the massive fucking sentinel! How come he gets the rocket gun as soon as he comes back to life?!"  

"DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE" Dan yells at the television screen, punching the PS2 controller repeatedly.  

"Fuck yeah!" I scream, punching the air and hi-fiving Dan as 'killed Phoenix Commander' appears on Dan's half of the screen. "My heart is beating so fast, this game rules!" I laugh, throwing my head back.  

"I know, I can't believe I've never played this before!" Dan says, putting the controller on the floor next to the couch.  

I laugh again and jump up, heading towards the kitchen. "You want a drink?" I ask him over my shoulder.  

"That would be great, thanks," he calls back.  

"Strawberry milk okay?"  

"Perfect!"  

I smile, grabbing two glasses from the cupboard and turning to the fridge to get the bottle. From the corner of my eye I see the box sat on the table, where I put it earlier. I'd totally forgotten about the delivery guy and the package. I pour the pink milk into the glasses and carry them over to the table, smiling at Dan as he wanders in. He takes a sip from his glass and sticks his thumb up as a 'thankyou'.  

"You're welcome," I wink, taking a seat at the table.  

I pull the box towards me and look at the delivery label again, checking for a return address. There isn't one. I shrug my shoulders and pull the tape from the edges, ripping open the lid and looking inside. A huge smile paints itself across my face as I take in the contents.  

On top is a letter in a white envelope. It sits on a grey shirt, a pack of photographs and a box of Australian candy.  

"Whatcha got there?" Dan asks, making me jump.  

"Oh god, sorry! I totally forgot you were there!" I laugh, slapping my palm to my forehead. "It's a bunch of stuff from my best friend. The last time I spoke to her was to tell her I had moved into my own apartment! She moved to Australia with her family four years ago, she does a lot of work in music out there." I explain, putting the letter to one side and taking out the box of sweets. I pull off the cellophane wrapping and take off the lid, looking at the lumps of sugary unhealthyness sat inside. Knowing I can't resist, I take one out of the box and perch it on my tongue, offering another to Dan. We laugh at the unexpected crackle that seems to come from our mouth, and I put the sweets back in the box with the shirt and photographs, reminding myself to look at them later.  

"More video games?" I ask, "I have Spyro..." I wink.

*****

"Holy fuck En, its five in the morning!"  

I laugh at the shock on Dan's face and try to ignore the butterflies that appeared in the pit of my stomach when he called me 'En'. I like it.  

"I guess I should get home and make sure Phil isn't dead," he jokes.  

"You can crash here if you wanna, you never know what might be lurking in dark hallways at five a.m!" I laugh, pushing away something in the back of my mind that's begging him to say yes.  

He chuckles, "Thanks Envy but don't worry, I gotta get back to Phil so he doesn't get lonely." He rolls his eyes and smiles, putting his hand out for a high five.  

"Well, thanks for hanging out, you're welcome whenever," I tell him.  

"Thankyou, and thanks for the strawberry milk, that ruled." he winks. He turns to the front door and pulls it open, stepping into the almost pitch black of the apartment hallway.  

I smile and wave as he walks towards the stairs, knowing that already, Dan is my favourite person in the world.
