After school we both decided to go back to my house again.
"Race ya." Danny smirks.
"I'm not running."
"I think you are." He starts to jog ahead
"Neither are you." I grab his arm and pull him back.
"Whatt? Why." He frowns.
"Your healing still. Plus your embarrassing me."
"Ugh boring." He rolls his eyes.
I scoff and carry on walking.

When we get home my mum welcomes us from the sofa where she's watching some cooking show about losing weight. I throw my bag down and find a snack in the kitchen.
"Want something?" I ask.
"Nah I'm fine. Thanks though!"
I nod and head upstairs, Danny following behind. When I get inside I instantly collapse onto my bed and groan.
"Oh what a day." I quote.
He laughs and sits down beside me, scooting backwards so he's leaned against the wall. Danny reaches over and plays with my hair. I've noticed his way of love is gift giving or touching. He likes hugs and kisses, playing with my hair, holding my hand. It's super cute. He also randomly gives me paper flowers or bracelets. I have atleast 12 now (I wear them all).

I sit up and wriggle over. He smiles at me and bites his lip.
"Hey." Danny starts.
"Hey?"
"Do you think what that guy in isolation said was true?"
"Maybe. We can figure out? If you want I can get my mum to drive us down to the police station?"
"Uhm. I don't know. To be fair, I'm not sure I want an answer. If she's not I'd feel scared if she is I'd feel guilty. There's no escaping negativity. Plus, I'll find out soon enough."
"True."
He sighs and wraps his arm around me, offering the other hand to which I place my own hand on. Danny leans closer and kisses my head.
"Love you." He mutters
"Love you." I smile.

Danny
The rest of the week went by pretty fast. Everyday we would wake up together, go to school, go back to his house, have a similar conversation, talk, eat, sleep, repeat. It's now Friday and I still don't know whether I wanna know or not.
"I think I should." I blurt out.
"What?" Nathan blinks.
"Go to the station. It's keeping me up at night."
"No it's not girlie, every time I check on you your asleep."
"It's called closing my eyes."
"What? Really?" He frowns.
"Yeah. That's why I never wake up when you try to wake me in the mornings. Okay so, can we go down? If we leave it any longer I'll start regretting my choice."
"Mhm!"

Nathan kisses my cheek and gets off the bed. He unbuttons his shirt and removes it before taking off his trousers, leaving him in only his boxers. I couldn't not look at him. He opens his wardrobe and finds an oversized hoodie and some jeans.
"Are you gonna change?" He asks, turning round to look at me.
"Nah I'm fine. Also, since when was your arse so big? It's got a mind of its own I swear."
Nathan bursts out laughing and I chuckle at my joke.
