You Are My Sunshine // Daniel Seavey // #wattys2018

~Part Twenty-Five~

"I will not call him, Daniel!" Luna yelled to her boyfriend of almost two years. "But you guys haven't talked since we left! I think it would be good for you to at least just check up on him. See how he's doing, let him know you're doing okay, you had brain surgery for gods sake." He sighed and tried to walk closer to her. The two had been fighting behind the closed door of their bedroom in the AirBnB they had for a few days. It was too intense and saddening for the others to listen to so they just went outside and hing out by the lake. "Yeah, and who was the cause of that? Who made me have such a bad panic attack that I hit my head and had a brain bleed? All because I didn't want to go to college right away? I'm sorry Daniel, but if he really wanted to talk to me, and was truly worried about me, he would've called already." She got quieter and sat down on their shared bed. Daniel looked down and let a breathe of of his nose before walking over to her. He squat down in front of her putting his hands on her knees and then resting his chin on them so he could look into her blue eyes. "I know you're angry at him. But he's your dad, and I know it's hard to accept, but he's all you have left besides me." His words were clear to her despite not really being able to move his jaw because of his position. "And if you aren't ready to talk to him, I support that. But I think that it would be good for you. But again, if you just aren't ready, I'm okay with that. Nobody is going to judge you. Not me, not Zach, not Jonah, not anybody." Luna's fingers had subconsciously found their way to his jaw and had been rubbing the skin with her thumb for the whole duration of his short speech. "I love you," He mumbled before turning his head and kissing the inside of her palm. His lips lingered there for awhile. He sighed again and leaned into her hand looking up to her. "My girl." She smiled and bent forward to give him a kiss.

That one kiss turned into two, which turned into three. Which eventually turned into clothes strewn around the room and sheets tangled through their limbs and soft 'I love you's' and moans. And that evening was the night that Daniel and Luna gave themselves to the other for the first time.
