Things We Lost To The FlΔmes (BΔSTILLE fanfic)

PΔncΔkes Δnd BΔnd PrΔctice

Dan opened the bathroom door and walked over to his room wearing just a towel. I quickly looked away, blushing slightly. He walked into his bedroom and shut the door. A few moments later he walked out, wearing his usual black jeans and an Audrey Horne T-shirt. His hair was sticking up in random directions so he ran his hands through it, reshaping it into it's usual style.

Dan slumped down next to me on the sofa and out his arm over my shoulder in a protective way. I gave him the 'what are you doing' look and he shrugged in response, pulling me towards him.

"Dan" I mumbled as he squeezed me tightly. "Can't breath"

"Oh" he laughed, releasing me slightly. "Sorry Lilypad"

"It's okay" I laughed, putting my head on his shoulder.

"The guys are coming in an hour to practice for the live lounge" Dan stated.

"Coooool" I smiled.

I saw Robbie try to hide his smile.

"Mmm I'm hungry, are you? Do you guys want some pancakes? I'm making pancakes" Dan rushed, standing up and walking into the kitchen area.

"I'd love some pancakes Mr Smith" Robbie smiled politely.

Dan burst out laughing and I frowned at him.

"Sorry, just call me Dan" he tried not to laugh. "Mr Smith just sounds so... I don't know, just, call me Dan" he chuckled.

"Sorry Dan" Robbie laughed.

"Okay, pancakes" Dan mumbled to himself as he searched through the cupboards for the ingredients.

"Do you want some help?" I asked.

"Uuhhh" he looked up as he thought. "Go on then" Dan's stormy eyes landed on mine, causing us both to smile.

"Okay" I stood up and walked into the kitchen with Robbie hot on my heels.

Once we'd made as many pancakes as we could, we stacked them on a plate and sat on the stools at the island.

"Nutella" Dan put the jar of Nutella on the surface. "Sugar, lemon" he put a bowl of sugar and half a lemon onto a plate. "Honey" he placed a jar of honey next to the sugar. "Anything else?"

"This is perfect" I smiled.

"I agree, thank you" Robbie smiled at Dan.

"No problem" Dan sat next to me and put a pancake onto his plate. "Help yourselves"

"Don't mind if I do" I muttered, putting a pancake on to my plate and smothering it with Nutella.

As I took my first bite Robbie put a pancake on his plate, sprinkling it with sugar.

"Oh my god, these are amazing, I'm in love with your pancakes" I smiled, taking another bite.

"Glad you like them" Dan smiled at me.

"Oh my god they are amazing" Robbie mumbled as he took a bite.

Dan smiled and we finished off the pancakes.

"They were amazing thank you Daaaan" I put my plate in the dishwasher and hugged Dan.

"No problem" he chuckled, hugging me back.

"Thanks" Robbie smiled as I took his plate off him and put it in the dishwasher. "Thanks Dan those were amazing"

"No worries, glad you liked them" Dan smiled, checking his watch. "The guys will be here in half an hour so you might want to get ready"
