By The End Of The Night - Dan Smith Fanfiction💜

Chapter 4: Warmth...

"Yo homie."

I woke up to Will tapping my shoulder and speaking some 'roadman' language.

My face must have given away my confusion, as he shook his head laughing. "Sorry, I don't know what I just said. But we're home now, me and the boys are going to go out shopping. You can come if you want, but it's okay if not, we just thought we'd come home to drop sleepy head off and you if you wanted to join." He shrugged looking at me and then gesturing towards Dan.

I sighed and rolled my eyes trying to hold back my smirk. "Will... It's not what you-"

"I know, I know, just playing with you. So, you coming or staying?"

At that moment Dan awoke, rubbing his eyes and yawning.

"Have a nice sleep Sweet Cheeks?" Will winked at Dan.

"You bet baby," Dan winked back, his voice croaky from his nap. I couldn't help but smirk and laugh, to which he asked me what I was laughing at, and therefore making me laugh even more at the croakiness of his voice.

"Anyway Will, I'm going to stay if that's okay. I still have some bits that I need to pack."

"Do you have to leave..." Kyle made puppy dog eyes at me.

"Yeah, come on, why don't you move in with us permanently?" Woody questioned.

"Yeah, do it!" Charlie and Will shouted in unison.

I laughed shaking my head. "Come on guys, you know I can't. I can't take over Kyle's room permanently." I shrugged.

"You could always sleep in Dan's room with him?" Kyle winked.

Dan elbowed Kyle who was still sat in the car seat infront of him. "Shut it Kyle." Dan shook his head and rolled his eyes.

"Actually, to be fair, Kyle does have a good idea. You have the biggest room after all, and you're closest with Becca anyway. You could always put a mattress in your room for her?" Woody winked.

All the boys mumbled and nooded, each raising an eyebrow at Dan who sat silently and surprised.

"No honestly, thanks for the offer but it's your band house I don't wanna get in the way. Plus I don't really think Dan would appreciate me staying in his room, what about all the band babes he will be bringing home?!" Me and all the boys laughed, whilst Dan smirked shaking his head.

We all sat in silence for a few seconds as Dan looked at each of us, thinking.

"I mean, I wouldn't mind it if you did want to crash in my room?" Dan smiled sympathetically at me, blushing slightly as the boys nudged eachother and smirked.

"I bet you wouldn't buddy." Charlie sniggered winking.

I rolled my eyes at Charlie and told him to knock it off. "Dan, no honestly you don't have to-"

"Okay look I hate to break up all this flirting, but I don't know how long the shops are open for and frankly I'm getting a little bored of you both playing hard to get for eachother. Soooo, you could either get out now and fuck inside, or you could come with us and kiss and do whatever you weirdos wanna do!" Kyle raised his eyebrows sighing as all the boys shook their heads at Kyle and told him to shut up.

"Sorry guys, we'll jump out. See you guys when you get back from the shops."

Me and Dan jumped out the car with some of the band gear and went inside the house.

"How about that Twin Peaks marathon huh?" I smiled, taking off my coat and shoes.

Dan stayed quiet, looking at the watch on his wrist.

"Dan, you alright?" I stepped closer to him to see him fiddling with the watch strap. He looked up at me and jumped, moving his hands out of view.

"Sorry yeah, just give me a second, my watch strap just broke." He turned around. There was a slight tone of panic in his voice which made me uneasy.

"I'll set the tv up daniel and you get the snacks. Don't eat them until we start watching it though..." I laughed placing the house keys on the kitchen counter.

I rushed upstairs, tripping over my own legs as I grabbed the box set and two blankets. Clattering of bowls and rustling from bags of food came from downstairs whilst the smell of microwaved popcorn filled the house.

Finally me and Dan both ended up downstairs underneath blankets infront of the television, engrossed in the story of Laura Palmer whilst snacking on popcorn and different types of crisps.

"Hey...?" Dan whispered turning to me.

"Yes Daniel?" I replied, cautious of his sudden change in tone.

"Please stay here." Dan whispered softly. "I get you have stuff to do, but you could get a job on the road as part of our crew.. or.. or.. you could have some of the money I get from performing and then you wouldn't have to work..."

I cut him off with a hug, holding him tightly in my arms. He wrapped his around my back and placed his chin on top of my head. "Let me think smith," I winked as I nestled my head into his chest as we continued watching the show.

The noise of my heart thumping crazily echoed inside my head, making Twin Peaks impossible to hear. I wasn't sure if he felt uncomfortable, feeling how fast his chest was moving in and out so I retracted myself from him, sitting back to my original position on the sofa. He pulled me back by my arm, smiling but showing eyes of a puppy dog wanting something. I laughed as I rested my head back on his chest, listening to both of our hearts beating in sync as the melody sent me to sleep.

"HELLO WE ARE HOME WE ARE WARNING YOU SO WE DONT WALK IN AND CATCH YOU DOING SEXY TIME"

Me and Dan groaned as we stirred awake, wincing at the light from outside.

The boys entered with Kyle leading the way." See I told you guys, just gotta warn them before to avoid embarrassment from either end!" Kyle laughed as he looked at me and Dan.

"Nothings happened Kyle," Dan laughed as we both sat up yawning.

"Sure thing pal, well anyway we've arranged the trampoline park visit for another day since today had a change of plan." Charlie stated as he placed the shopping bags on the kitchen counter.

Me and Dan nodded in agreement as we both got up and went to help unpack the shopping.

We walked side by side and for one slight moment, his hand brushed against mine. He had remarkably larger hands than me, making me imagine how delicate mine would look if they were in his.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Dan blush slightly as he picked up a bag of shopping and walked away, leaving me stood wishing I could still be laying on his beating heart, listening to the music it played.
