Blue Eyes| Daniel x Reader

Turns out Wattpad hadn't saved my first version of this chapter so now I have to write it all over again. It deleted 1,400 freaking words!

I grabbed the armrests of my seat as the plane started its process of landing. I wasn't usually afraid of flying.

The plane shook and I gripped onto the armrests tighter. I pressed myself against the back of my seat to try to keep myself in place. The plane was almost reaching the ground and when it finally landed, the shaking stopped and I felt it was finally safe to open my eyes. When had I closed them? My face hurt from how hard I had been clenching my eyes shut.

I looked down the isle and saw Jonah looking back at me with a worried look. I smiled at him and and hoped he hadn't seen me in my frightened state. But the odds weren't in my favour. They never were.

I stood up from my seat and reached up to open the compartment. The man I had been sitting with throughout the flight helped me get my carry on from the it when he saw me struggling.

I got my backpack from underneath the seat and walked down the isle with the other passengers. When I got to the rows where the boys were sitting in, Daniel went into the isle and held my free hand.

"You're hand is so sweaty," he said and I tried pulling my hand away but he held on tighter. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," I say. "It's just been a while since I had been on a plane." That wasn't true. I had flown on a plane last summer when me and my family went to Greece for a holiday.

I followed the passengers down the isle and smiled at the flight attendant before going off the plane and through the bridge into the airport. Me and the guys passed the passport check and got our luggage. Once that was done we went out into the LA air. Which was a little chilly, something that I hadn't expected.

I looked around at the people that where currently surrounding me to see if I could find my aunt among them. I saw her waiting next to her van and I ran over to hug her. We greeted each other and she helped me get my bags into the van.

I looked back at the guys and saw that they were coming over here.

"Hey there," said Jonah. He took my aunts hand and shook it. "You must be Y/n's aunt, I'm Jonah."

"Pleased to meet you."

The guys all shook my aunts hand but Daniel looked like he was going to have a heart attack. His hands were shaking slightly and his eyes darted back and forth, not knowing where to look.

Daniel POV

I took Y/n's aunts hand and shook it, I smiled at her. Did she see my tooth gap? What did she think of me? Why am I stressing out? It's not like she's Y/n's mom. But she could tell her about me! STOP DANIEL! BAD GIRAFFE!

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. I looked over at Y/n only to see she was trying not to laugh at me. "What are you laughing at?" I ask her.

"Nothing," she said. "It's just you looked so nervous around my aunt."

"Hey," I say. "It's not my fault that I don't want to look like a high school dropout that doesn't know what half of the english vocabulary is."

"Hold up," says Y/n. "If being a high school dropout means looking like Zach then sign me up."

"You are a million times more beautiful than Zach," I say. "Its better to be pretty and smart than just being good looking."

Y/n POV

"You're a million times more beautiful than Zach," said Daniel and he looked at me with a face that proved he was being sincere. "It's better to be pretty and smart than just being good looking."

Did I hear him right? Did he just call me beautiful? Me ears could use a good cleaning.

"I'm still not denying that Zach has an amazing face," I shrugged.

"Thank you Y/n!" yelled Zach.

"If you guys would like, you could come have some food with us," said my aunt. "It isn't a problem.

"Yeah," said Corbyn. "We could get our bags taken to our house."

We gave the boy's luggage to a kind man to take it to their house. Once that was done, we got into my aunts van. Jonah sat in the passengers seat next to my aunt, who would be driving. Me, Zach and Jack in the middle seats and Daniel sat with Corbyn in the pull out seats.

"So what are you guys planning on doing now that you're back in LA?" I ask them.

"We're planning on working on songs," said Zach.

I put my hand up to my chest and gasped dramatically, "You don't say!"

"Haha very funny," said Jack. "We're planning on working on songs, I'm not going to tell you anything about it."

"You say it as if what happens next in your music career is Avengers: Endgame," I say. "And I didn't watch it yet so no spoilers."

"Music career?" asks my aunt. "You guys write songs?" Jonah, Zach and Jack all nodded. Daniel and Corbyn probably did the same, but I couldn't see what they were doing.

"I went to one of their concerts with a friend that's a fan of theirs," I say.

"Is that how you met each other?"

"No," said Daniel. "We met at the mall and helped Y/n find her friend. After that we hung out a bit."

"Well," said Corbyn. "Daniel and Y/n hung out. The rest of us were left in the hotel."

"You liar," I say. "You guys hijacked our night out!"

"You mean your date," says Jack.

"Well," said my aunt a little awkwardly. "We're here."

"Finally!" screams Zach. "This was getting too awkward!"

A/n (aunts name) parked the car in the Kentucky Fried Chicken parking lot and we all scrambled out of the car. I had to give Corbyn and Daniel a little help to push the seats forward to let them out.

We got our orders and sat down at a booth. My aunt sat at a different table to give is more privacy. I sat between Jonah and Corbyn. Daniel sat diagonal from me with Zach and Jack next to him. They were already arguing and talking and it was obvious why the whole fandom shipped them. UGH JACHARY! SORRY, I'M FANGIRLING!

Me and Jonah had our own seperate conversation. A mature one without the others saying incredibly stupid stuff in it. Jonah was definitely the most responsible member of the band. Basically the opposite of Zach.

"You looked pretty scared back on the plane," said Jonah, changing the topic so that we would no longer would be talking about Hogwarts houses. "Were you okay?"

"Yeah," I lied. "It's just been a while since I had flown." The same lie I had told Daniel.

"You went to Greece last summer Y/n."

"How-?"

"I may have stalked your account," he said and I rolled my eyes.

There was no escaping this. Might as well just let it out now. "So I have this thing," I said. "Well, um... uh." I rubbed my face with my hands. "All the guys that I've had any kind of relationship with have all had blue eyes. I can't explain it, it's like a magnet." Jonah raised an eyebrow, questioning why that made me scared of riding on an airplane. "All of them have either died or disappeared. It just happens."

"And you were scared that something was going to happen to Daniel on the plane," said Jonah as he slowly nodded.

"It's like I have a curse," I say. "I don't know what Greek god I pissed off to be given this kind of love. It's probably Aphrodite but you never know."

"Wait Y/n," said Jonah, stopping my rambling. "Are scared of loving people."

I bowed my head down. He had probably noticed the fear and sadness in my voice as I had been speaking. "To be honest," I said. "I'm terrified of love."
