You and Danny had carried out with your date, going to a random restaurant Suzy had recommended. The two of you had a small meal, and decided to walk around happily. He had his arm around your shoulders as you walked, a smile on your faces.

"So, I just have one question for you." Danny looked at you as you walked.

"What's that?"

"Why- Why'd you leave?"

You frowned and sighed. "We talked about this."

"I-I know but-"

"You know why."

He sighed and shook his head. "I'll drop it, let's just have a good time, okay?"

"Okay." You smiled. He kissed the crown of your head and kept walking. The walk was nice, everyone passing by looked at you two, with Dan being a giant and all.

"So, babe-" Danny started, before you cut him off.

"No more m'lady?" You smiled.

"Barry told me it made me sound stupid." He laughed before shaking his head. "But- You know how you said you were probably gonna be alone?"

"Yeah, why?" You asked looking at him. All that was going though your head was 'Please don't say you want to move in.'

"Well, close your eyes! I'll lead you."

You did so, feeling his arms leave your shoulders and grip your hands instead. You walked for a bit before he stopped and turned you to something. "Okay.. Now!"

You opened your eyes to see you were in front of a pet shop. You smiled and laughed, looking at him. "You want me to buy a dog?"

"Or cat. Gerbil. Hamster. Uhh.. Fish. Whatever you want." He smiled. "I mean, it's what you want."

"I don't think I have enough money." You shrugged.

"I'll buy you one- Or help!"

"No. No Dan."

"C'moooon."

"Nope." You started walking away before he grabbed your arm and pulled you into a hug. "I'm gonna adopt an animal for you wether you want it or not."

"Aah! Let go of me you heathen!" You laughed as he lifted you up a bit.

He laughed before setting you back down and kissing your forehead. "I'm no heathen, lady."

"Whatever." You chuckled, looking up at him. "Wanna go back to my place and play some Video Games?"

"Fuck yeah."

"That's the third time I've beaten your ass at Mario Kart!" You laughed, putting a hand to your forehead as Dan bit his lips. He was shaking his controller, something that indicated he was going to throw it.

"When did you get so damn good at video games! What the hell!" He shouted, mostly at the screen.

"Well, I bought game systems, and all I thought was, 'If I ever meet Dan again I have to kick his ass at video games!'"

He laughed before straightening his posture and shaking his head a bit. "Let's do another game, I bet I'll win this time."

"Depends on what you bet." You looked at him, going to the character select screen.

"Alright, I bet you twenty bucks, and another one thing that I get to choose."

"Or that I get to choose." You smiled.

"Whatever. I'm gonna win." He smirked, winking at you.

"Stop you fuckin' doof!" You giggled, pushing him lightly. He laughed before you both chose your characters and started playing.

The constant yells of Dan were pretty funny, but as soon as he got into first he was laughing hard.

"I FUCKIN' DID IT."

Little did he know, you let him go into first. What for?

The blue shell.

As soon as he got into first it was thrown, making him scream in frustration. As soon as he got hit you drove past him, winning the race.

"MOTHER FUCKER!"

He stood up and held the remote high, like he was going to throw it, but he looked at you before he let out a huge sigh and set it on the table.

"I win." You smile, giggling a bit. He just looked at you, his face straight. "You win. I don't have my wallet, though. I owe you." He shrugged.

"Whatever, not like I cared about the money anyways." You patted your lap, looking at him. "Lay your head there."

"Okay," He did as told, his legs hanging over the arm of the couch. "What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to sing to me. That song you always did." You said as you played with his hair.

"Shit- The Last Unicorn, Right?"

You nodded, eyes half lidded as you looked down at him.

"Alright, let me go for it." He cleared his throat before closing his eyes.

"When the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain
and the last lion roars at the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the forest where she may be old and worn
They will stand unbelieving at the last unicorn.."

As he sang the familiar song, you found yourself dazing off, closing your eyes. Sooner or later you fell asleep, with Dan still laying on you.

You remembered your hallway before everything turned black again. Dreams- Your dreams were the best. You and Danny playing with what was presumed to be your kids, when all of a sudden you're walking through PAX with a poncho on.

Then you woke up. You were covered by two blankets in your bed, but you had the sudden urge to just, sit up. You did so, looking to your left. There was the curly mass of hair you'd grown to love, and under it was Danny's face, slobbering all over your pillow.

Gross.

You got out of bed as stealthily as you could, but alas, you had made too much noise. You heard a small groan and a sound of hair scraping a pillow.

"Babe?"

His groggy voice caused you to look at him, his messy hair and droopy eyes being the death of you. He smiled as he saw you, and it seemed as if he needed to know you were there. He put his face back into the pillow, and you heard snoring.

This guy could sleep, couldn't he?

You just shook your head and let out a chuckle before getting up and walking into your bathroom. You looked at yourself in the mirror. Your hair was messy and you had huge bags under your eyes. What time even was it?

You walked back out of the bathroom and checked the clock.

6:35 am.

No wonder you were still tired. You quickly climbed back into bed and cuddled up next to Danny, who gladly took you into his arms and cuddled with you.

You fell asleep again, feeling more love than you had in a long time.

God, was it great to be back with him.
