In My Eyes (Dan X reader)

Chapter 55 ~ Nerf War

"(Y/N) stall them, I'm slipping through the back of the fort to grab my Nerf guns from my room" Dan speaks quickly, grin large. I nod my head before he places a quick kiss on my lips. I watch the thin sheet rise and fall, the boy now gone.

"Peej? Phil? What was that?" I begin, attempting to stall. Playing dumb might buy us some time. Another bullet collides into the thin, fabric wall of the fort. I let out a startled squeak, the two boys begin to giggle.

Dan returns a second later, handing me a small gun. He aims out of one of the holes in the fort, rapidly shooting at the boys. The others, including myself, all begin to fire.

Soon, the four of us were all out of bullets. The orange ammunition lay scattered in the no-mans-land between the two masses of pillows, furniture and blankets.

"Dan?" I breathe, receiving eye contact from my troop member. 

"Yeah (Y/N)?"

I inhale dramatically. "Wish me luck, Love" I smile, charging out into the open, gathering the bullets. Little did I know Peej was reloading his gun, firing it right as I reenter the fort, striking me in the back. I fall dramatically, the entrance closing behind me. Dan quickly scoops me up.

"I... I've been shot" I act, pretending I am pain but not able to contain the goofy grin on my face.

Dan stroked my hair as I lay draped across his lap, his arms wrapped tightly around me comfortingly. "Yeah, you have" he smiled, pretending to sob. "You're going to be okay Sweetheart."

I begin to "die", my breaths becoming shallow, and my eyes beginning to close. "Dan, I don't have much time, and theres only one more thing I ask"

"And what is that (Y/N)?"

"Kiss me"

And kiss me he did. As he pulls away, I go limp in his arms, dying off. I open my eyes slightly after he places me gently on some pillows and puts a soft blanket across me, tucking me in. He loads up two guns, then leaves the fort to avenge me. I hear the plastic trigger and a thump with a small whimper from Pj. One more thunk and a small cry from Phil. He had done it. Dan has won the war for our fort. 

"(Y/N), the games over now. We're watching a movie. You know, outside of the fort?" Dan says popping his head in through the entrance.

"Carry me?" I smile sleepily.

"Its like five steps!" Dan whines. I don't respond. "Okay fine" he sighs in defeat.

He leans down, his head brushing against the top of the fort, picking me up in his pale arms. He shuffles on his knees until we leave the small, makeshift room. He begins to stand clumsily, his legs shaking, almost falling in the process. 

Although Dan almost failed miserably, he successfully sits me down next to him. The boys discuss which movie to watch, my head resting on Dan's shoulder lazily. Before they decided though, I had already fallen asleep.
