Childhood Stranger

Nightshift

Danny decided to stay in the motel while the Winchesters went out to get some information, after the pool incident he hadn't been feeling too hot. He had been running a temperature and had a cold which wasn't the best when trying to interrogate. The hunter was sat at the table in the small hotel room looking over some information about the last bank robbery, though he couldn't focus on anything his head felt like it was pounding. With a groan he slumped down against the table face planting it, he didn't glance up when the door unlocked and two pairs of footsteps entered.

"Hey." Danny called though it was muffled as he refused to look up and rested on his back as he lifted his head to look up at whoever it was, looking up he met the concerned eyes of Sam staring down at him.

"You look awful." Sam told him as Dean came to his side barely hiding a grimace with a forced smile.

"This is why I'm dating Dean and not you at least he tries to make it seem like I don't look like roadkill." The hunter groaned out as he watched the two with unfocused eyes, Sam reached out to him pulling him to his feet catching the other as he began to fall forward.

"Woah." Dean let out watching in worry as his boyfriend swayed, without a second thought he reached out taking Danny's other arm over his shoulder helping him over to their shared bed gently setting him down on it. The youngest Winchester went to talk again though he stopped when he noticed that the other had already drifted off, carefully he reached out placing a hand on the man in question's head flinching at the heat coming off him. Sam glanced up at his brother feeling sympathetic for him, he'd been worried to death about Danny.

"He'll be fine. It's just a cold if things get really bad we can take him to Bobby he'll know what to do." Sam reassured him in a low voice before moving over to the table where Danny's work was still layed out.

"I know I just don't like leaving him here." Dean told him as he moved to grab a beer for himself and Sam before turning to the research he wasn't in the mood to talk about it anymore. The two brothers spent the night talking about the case and forming a plan together keeping an eye on the other hunter who continued to squirm around in bed.

When morning broke Danny felt a bit better though he clearly wasn't in the best of shape, though when the brothers told him about what they were dealing with he was quick to come with them despite their protests. The plan was simple, the Winchesters would pose as security while Danny just hung around the bank trying to lay low and look for any odd behaviour. Currently, the shorter hunter was lingering by the benches he reached into his pocket taking out his phone for some entertainment only for it to slip out his hand clattering to the floor. He let out a groan before bending down to pick it up unaware that his boyfriend was enjoying the show from the camera room. The hunter began to scroll through the some emails he'd been sent by some hunters he knew only to jump at the sound of gunshots and screaming.

"This is not a robbery, get on the ground!" A man yelled from though the hunter didn't listen quickly, taking off with some other people sprinting to where he had watched a security guard lead the other two. Danny was quick to bump into brothers.

"You okay?" Dean asked as he looked him over as they made their way back to where people in the bank were being held.

"I'm fine, I'm guessing that's Ronald." Danny asked as they made their way into the main room.

"Yeah just let me do the talking." Dean told the two as they got into the room where Ronald was keeping the people hostage. "Hey buddy why don't you calm down." The oldest hunter yelled to Ronald who looked at him with wide eyes as he was quick to point the rifle to him, Dean stepped away from the other hunters putting his hands up.
