No pov

Danny walked out of his room, ready to go to the park.
Wendy got up from the couch quickly. "What are you all dressed up for?" She said, staring at his outfit.
"You call a stripped sweater and jeans 'dressed up'?" Danny said, laughing. "Anyways, I'm going out with a friend."
Danny was about to walk away but his mother caught him by the arm.
"Wait," she said. "What did your...father say?"

"He never came," Danny lied.
He walked off, the weight on Wendy's shoulders getting heavier.
She thought she could do it.
She thought she could tell him.

Danny was sitting on one of the park's benches, waiting patiently.
No matter how much Danny was trying to avoid it, his mind just kept repeating what had happened after first period.
Did I deserve it? He thought to himself.
After what had happened with his father, the guilt was convincing him that he did.

"Sorry you had to wait, Dan," A familiar voice spoke from behind him.
Lloyd, Danny smiled to himself.
"That's okay," he replied, scooting aside so that Lloyd could sit beside him.
Danny found it strange that Jack's old "friend" was named Lloyd as well.
A sign?
Maybe.
But a sign of what?

Lloyd sat beside him, his warm shoulder pressing against Danny's.
After a bit of silence, Lloyd spoke up. They talked about their favorite movies, shows, food, etc.
They joked too, like they've been friends for years.
After the laughter, there was a bit of silence. Until Lloyd spoke up once again.
"You know," he said. "You're unlike anyone I've ever met, Dan."
He stared at him, gazing.
Danny couldn't help but blush.
"Y-you too."

Danny could suddenly feel Lloyd's hand on his shoulder, making him jump a bit.
"Woah, you alright there, Dan?"
"Y-Yeah. Sorry..."

They stared once more, as if trying to find all the secrets one another was hiding.
It took seconds for Danny to realize it, but Lloyd began to lean in, his face growing closer to Dan's.
He stopped though. He must have took note of the fact that Danny wasn't leaning in like he was.

But Danny caught on quickly.
He leaned in fast, kissing Lloyd with all the passion he could, Lloyd giving him the same amount in return.
Lloyd played with Danny's hair, Dan's hands cupping Lloyd's face.
When Dan pulled away slowly, he had the brightest smile in the world.
And the first thing he thought of was...

"I can't wait to tell my dad."
