Our Chance at Love - Danisnotonfire x Reader Fanfic

Chapter 3: Jump Scares

I came back into Dan's room after walking around the flat and making sure all of the candles were no longer lit.

"Okay the flat is officially a fire-free zone" I said with a dramatic tone in my voice. I had expected him to start chuckling or to have flashed me a goofy smile, but he just looked me over with a stunned look on his face, surprised to see that I was in just his shirt."The sweats were too big on me and the shirt is pretty long so I could just wear them without bottoms." He continued staring at my legs until I walked over to the bed and got under the comforter.

He walked over to the bed in a daze. "I-I..um.." clears throat "..I just didn't expect to see you like that." He leaned down and started blowing out the candles on his night stand and laid down on the bed. It was pitch black so he couldn't see the slight smirk on my face at the thought of me being able to get that reaction out of him.

"Goodnight Dan."

"Goodnight (Y/N)."

I laid there for the next half hour trying to fall asleep, but I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that he took off his shirt after he crawled into bed. I turned around again for the 10th or so time to be consumed in brown eyes.

"Can't sleep?"

"No. My mind won't shut up!"

"Anything I can help you with?"

"Um, no i'm fine, just lost in my thoughts..." I was not about to tell him that I was starting to become attracted to him. I continued avoiding his eyes, scared of what would happen if I stared for too long. There was another crack of thunder and I bolted up into the sitting position. God I hate how jumpy I am. Dan sat up and put his arm around me. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah i'm fine, just get a little freaked out by storms sometimes." I laid back down and felt his arm wrap around my waist, pulling me close against his chest. I was positive that he could hear my heart pounding. "Just in case you get scared again." He whispered in my ear. And with that I finally started drifting off to sleep.

*time skip*

I woke up feeling cold, like a part of me was gone. I rolled over to find the bed empty, so I reluctantly got out of bed and went to go find Dan. As I entered the hallway, I was hit with the smell of freshly made coffee. I followed the smell into the kitchen, where I saw Dan trying and failing to flip pancakes. I stood there and watched him, trying to conceal a giggle that erupted from my lips as I watched one of the pancakes fall onto the floor. He turned as I ran from the room, and started chuckling.

I went over to where my phone was and picked it up and turned it on. Once it turned on, I saw that I had missed a call from my mom, so I decided to call her back before I forgot.

After 3 rings, she picked up. "Hello?"

"Hey mom, it's (Y/N)."

"Hi sweetie! how's it going?"

"It's good. We just had a storm last night and the power went out, but i'm good and settling in. I'm gonna be looking for a job in the next few days too."

"That's really good honey! I'm so proud of you, but I miss you. Your father says he misses you too."

"I miss you both-" and that's when Dan decided to sneak up on me.

"Boo!" He yelled, grabbing me by my waist.

"AH!" I yelped, dropping my phone in the process. I quickly scooped it up an told my mom that I had to go and that my friend just decided to test to make sure my pulse was still working.

"Okay honey, I love you. We love you. Call us when you get the chance."

"Okay mom love you guys too. Bye." I ended my call and turned around glaring at him.

"You are such an ass!" I said while slapping him on the arm.

"Ow! Ow! Okay i'm sorry! Uncle! Uncle!" He laughed and led me into the kitchen and sat me down in front of a stack of pancakes and a cup of steaming coffee.

"Fine I forgive you, just for the fact that you made breakfast." I said while smiling sweetly at him. He smiled back and we started digging in, making small talk as we ate. Once we both finished, I quickly got up and grabbed our plates before he could protest. I went over to the sink and rinsed off our plates and stuck them in the dishwasher, turning around to find Dan right in front of me. I jumped slightly and he put his hands on my shoulders. I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding in and tried to slow down my speeding heart. How does he always seem to do this to me?

"You know i'm going to start having to call you 'mouse' if you keep this up."

"Are you making fun of me for being jumpy and ocasionally yelp if I get freaked out?"

"Yes." He said without hesitation.

I was very aware of how close we were and I had decided to slowly inch closer, getting caught up in the emotions, when 'BAM', the sound of the door shutting propelled us both in the opposite direction. Phil walks in and stares at us with a look of suspicion when he saw how red we both were, with looks of guilt written all over our faces.

"...hi guys...what have you two been up to?"

"Nothing." We both said in unison. He gave us a look that said he didn't believe us, but decided to just let it go for now.

"Umm, i've gotta go edit a video...so i'm just gonna...go..." Dan said while slowly inching his way out of the room, trying to hide his red face.

I ran out of the room into Dans room to change into my clothes and grabbed my purse.

"Well I should be heading out. I need to go. I'll talk to you guys later." I walked over to Phil and gave him a quick hug while shouting bye to Dan.

"Bye, (Y/N)!" He shouted back. I left the flat feeling slightly sad.

Dan's POV:
After (Y/N) left, I felt like I could finally catch my breath. A few minutes went by while I was editing my latest video before Phil walked in with the stupidest grin on his face.

"What happened between you two?"

"Oh nothing, we were just chatting."

"So that's why your face looks like a tomato?"

"I-I just, I don't know. We may have almost kissed before you walked in..."

"You like her!" He said while jumping from his seat.

"What? No I don't."

"I saw the way you two were looking at each other. Just ask her out and see how it goes."

"Fine if it'll get you off my back." He smiled and handed me my phone.

D: Hey are you busy tonight?

(Y/N): No why?

D: Would you wanna go out with me?

(Y/N): Um yeah sure. When?

D: How about tonight @ 6:30? We can go to Petrus.

(Y/N): Okay sounds good. See you then.

I let out the breath I hadn't realized I had been holding in. Phil was jumping around the room. "Come on we have to figure out what you're gonna wear!"
I groaned and reluctantly got up and followed Phil into my room.
