Saving The Soldier (boyxboy) |BOOK TWO|

Chapter 17

I walked around Danny's room and snooped through his stuff even though I promised I wouldn't. He didn't have to know, right?

Scattered on his desk were miscellaneous homework papers and aligned on the edge were a few framed photos of him and his family.

"I thought I said no snooping." Danny came out of no where, making me jump.

"Don't scare me like that." I hit his bare arm.

"I'm changing, don't look." He said after grabbing clothes out of his drawers.

"You seem so simple just buy your room. Seems like a total lie though." I chuckled.

"Not really. I am pretty simple and boring.

"You? Boring? You're the furthest thing from boring."

He came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. "Thanks, baby."

"There can't just be football trophies, family photos, and homework to the amazing Daniel Dominitri. I see a hidden talent somewhere in there."

"It's stupid."

I turned in his arms and grinned like a child. "Really!? Show me!?"

He sighed. "Follow me."

Danny led me down to with kitchen and walked to the fridge, grabbing something quickly. He showed me the cherry that he took and put in in his mouth, stem and everything. After about two seconds he took the stem out of his mouth, only it was tied in a knot.

"Bravo." I smiled and clapped.

"See, I told you it was stupid." He chuckled and threw the stem away.

"It's not stupid."

"What's your hidden talent then?"

"No, no way in hell I'm showing you it."

"Hey, I showed you mine."

I sighed. "Fine, but I need a basketball."

He cocked a brow at me and then went to get one. I sat crosslegged on the floor and waited for him to come back.

"You have to promise not to laugh at me. It's really embarrassing." I said.

"I won't. Go ahead."

I sat back on my calves and placed a hand behind my back. After balancing the ball on my nose, I put my other hand behind my back.

"Holy shit, you're like a seal." He chuckled.

"It's embarrassing." I whined and stood up.

"That was fucking great." He clapped.

"I hate you." I pouted.

The doorbell rang and he kissed my lips before going to answer the door. We ate and then moved to the couch to pick a movie. I got pretty tired about half way through and rested my head on Danny's shoulder. He pulled me in closer and laid down with me on top of him, we were too tired to think of it.

No words were said. I just cuddled into Danny's chest drifted into sleep.
