Conversations With The Moon (Bruno Mars One-Shots)

Finesse pt. 3

You wake to voices. You recognize one as Danni but the other's are unknown to you. You try to open your eyes but it feel as though your lids are being weighed down by cement blocks. You try to move but your arms and legs greet you with a similar feeling. You lick your lips and try to speak. 

"Danni," you whisper.

"Y/N," you hear him take a deep breath, and move around where every he is in the room. "Thank God. You're supposed to be the responsible one, what happened?"

"Where are we?"

"Hospital. I picked you up and you passed out in my passenger seat. I brought you straight here. The doctors just sent your tests out, they should know what's wrong soon. How are you feeling?

"Like I weigh more than a mac truck," you reply.

"There she is," Danni chuckles. "At the very least you're awake, you're gonna be ok and you're still you." You try to open your eyes again but its no use, your lids just don't seem to want to cooperate. "Hey, why don't you take a nap, maybe you'll feel better when you wake up, besides, the doctors say your tests should be back in a hour or two."

"You're staying with me right?"

"Of course, I'm not going anywhere." You agree to sleep and allow yourself to drift as Danni hums under his breath.

This time you wake to the smell of grilled cheese and the sound of an electronic air pump. You open your eyes without too much effort this time to see that you are in your apartment on your couch. The coffee table has been pushed aside to make room for air mattress being blown up before you. You slowly crane yourself up into a sitting position and look to your right to see Danni in your kitchen, cooking.

"Really Dan," you say as you glance over at him. "You bring me home from the hospital and the first thing you do is make a snack?"

"What?" he replies sarcastically. "It's like four thirty am am, basically breakfast time and I

spent the whole night looking after you. I'm hungry." You laugh."Please tell me you made something too."

"Of course." You hear the hood shut off the walks over with two servings of grilled cheese. He returns to the kitchen the comes back over with two bottles of water. The two of you begin to eat and after a few bites the friendly conversation lulls. Danni makes up the air-mattress with one of your spare sheet sets, turns off the pump and returns to your side.

"Danni," you request. He looks over at you slowly. "What happened to me? What did the tests say? He sets the plate down and locks eyes with you.

"You're gonna be fine, they gave me some perceptions you can pick up that will help?"

"Danni," You say. "Tell me everything. What happened."

"You were drugged...like date rape drugged, not roofied, but something like it. Someone spiked something you drank, possibly with the intention of doing something terrible to you." Your heart starts to race in you chest as your throat feel as though its going to close. Danni reaches out and touches your hand but he quickly pulls his hand back.

"You're freezing!" he grabs the throw blanket draped over the arm of the couch to his right and drapes it over your shoulders. He puts one arm around you and pulls you close to him.

"Someone...Someone tired to rape me?"

"That's what the doctors think," he replies. "They didn't succeed thought right? You're here with me, you had the wherewithal to get out of there while you were still conscious. You're safe." His words and touch are comforting but you can't shake the fear in his voice; it seems as though he is trying to reassure himself just s much as he's trying to reassure you. He pauses as though he has something else to say but, he waits for a few moments and after a deep breath his voice returns; this time it's softer. "What happened in there? Who we're you with?" Just then it hits you.
