Love Comes With A Price

No Hard Feelings?

I do not own Life is Strange or any of it's characters, nor do I own Carmilla or any of it's characters. 

      You stood outside Danny's apartment, hand hovering in front of the door as you tried to work up the courage to knock. Just as you inched your hand closer to it, the door swung open revealing Danny. She stopped and looked at you, surprised at first before a frown settled on her face.

      "Oh... hey Y/N..." She said,  shuffling from foot to foot. "Look I have somewhere to be-" 

      "Danny... I- I'm sorry." She looked at you and you could see annoyance forming in her eyes. 

      "I'm not here to make excuses.. I'm sorry that you had to see what you did, before I could tell you myself... I'm sorry, and I think we both know that a relationship with each other isn't going to happen. You are amazing, Danny, and any girl would be lucky to have you, but I already gave my heart to someone..." You explain, looking at her sincerely. 

      The annoyance faded from her eyes and her face took on a look of understanding. "Yeah, I get it... I can tell she means a lot to you." You nodded and she smiled slightly. "Now, if you'll excuse me, that wasn't an excuse earlier, I really do have somewhere I need to be going." 

      She closed the door behind her and walked out onto the sidewalk, turning and looking back at you. "Take care of yourself, Y/N." She said and you nodded. As she was about to turn around you called out to her. "We- We can still be friends, right?" 

      She looked at you for a moment before nodding. "Yeah. Yeah I'd like that." She said with a little smile. "Oh and um-.. tell your girlfriend I'm sorry for earlier, and that aloe works wonders." She nodded before turning and walking down the sidewalk. 

      You breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on her front steps, running a hand through you hair. That had gone way better than you'd hoped. You sat there for a while, contemplating everything that had been going on in your life lately.

      It was a lot to think about, and a lot to worry about. What if the video never got taken down? What if you were forever recognized as the bathroom sex girl? You sighed and tried to focus on more positive things. Standing, you grabbed your phone from your pocket and dialed a number, holding it to your ear. 

     "Hey P? Are you doing anything to tonight?"

      "What the fuck ever! I can't believe you, Y/N! God you can be such a bitch!" Nathan exclaimed, slamming his controller down with a glare toward you. You smirked and started a new game and he reluctantly picked up his controller. 

      "It's not my fault you suck ass at this game." You shrugged, grinning as you took away one of his characters lives. Nathan pouted and slammed on the buttons as hard as he could, trying desperately to beat you. 

      "I will win, if its the last thing I-" He stated before you smirked, offing his character. 

      "That 10-0, wanna try again?" You teased and he set down the controller. "No way in hell. You are cold, Y/N. Not even one pity win, not one!" 

      You shrugged, draping an arm around his neck. "What are friends for?" You smiled and he rolled his eyes at you. "Pity wins. That's what friends are for." 

      You patted him on the head before grabbing a handful of M&Ms from the bowl next to you. "Not a chance." You popped the candies in your mouth and leaned back, closing your eyes with a sigh. 

      "Hey um.. Y/n.. I was wondering, if you're not doing anything for Thanksgiving.. do you want to go down to the Two Whales or something?" 

      You opened your eyes and turned to look at Nathan, who was staring up at the ceiling contemplatively. You reached over and took his hand in yours, giving it a gentle squeeze. He looked at you and you gave him a soft smile. 

      "I have a better idea."
