Eternal Butterflies (A Danny DeVito x Reader Fan-Fiction)

A Peaceful Day Together

You waited by your door anxiously. It's been two minutes since Danny was supposed to arrive. But, this is probably nothing to panic about, it's only two minutes. Many regular situations could've occurred in order to cause Danny to be two minutes late. Traffic, extra sleep, trouble with directions, quick errands. Don't stress out, Y/N, don't worry.

    You repeatedly tap your foot, until you hear your doorbell ring. You immediately open the door, and thankfully, the man standing there is none other than Danny DeVito himself. You get that anxious-tightening feeling like you always do. Will you always feel awkward around him?

     "Er... come in, come in! M-Make yourself at home!" You greet him. He smiles and nods.

     "Thank you, Y/N, for helping me in my hour of need. You truly are a great friend." Danny said, as he pulled you into a hug. Your heart fluttered, like it always does when he touches you.

     You blush and look to the side. "Oh, it's really no trouble. B-Besides, I-I'm sure m-many people would be h-happy to help you. I-I'm just lucky."

     You look back at Danny and it appears that... he's... blushing also? Oh well, he's probably flattered by your compliment, let's not jump to conclusions. Danny coughs and releases you from the hug. He then walks into your house.

    "You have a very lovely home, Y/N, I'm surprised I haven't been here before!" Danny said, in attempt to start a conversation.

    "T-Thank you. It's really nothing fancy, e-especially compared to y-your place... heh..." you giggle. You look at Danny. What the heck!? He's blushing again! Is he really that sensitive to compliments...? Oh well, still, let's not jump to conclusions.

     The first thing Danny did was walk over to the couch, which he later sat on. You sat at the other end, and you both watched television. Danny wanted to watch movies that he was in (for whatever reason). And since you had every movie, tv show, photo, and video that's he's ever been in, finding one was no problem. The first movie you two watched together was "Twins".

After that, you watched "The Lorax". In the late-middle of it, Danny fell asleep. Which is pretty normal, but then you realized: he fell asleep on YOU! You looked down at him, and felt a warm blush creep across your face.

Awh, he looks like an angel... you thought. Your heart thumped loudly, like a thunderstorm. Yes, you were definitely in love. And you're beginning to believe that he may feel the same way. But you can't tell him how you feel now. Not yet. He's going through a lot, and you don't want to risk losing him. He means the world to you.

Before you met him, you thought your crush on Danny DeVito couldn't possibly be larger. Turns out, you were wrong. You love him. You truly, truly love him. Not because he was rich, or famous, or devilishly handsome (although, that is what made you first show interest in him). But because he is himself. You truly fell in love with Daniel Michael DeVito Jr... that was something one of the very few things that you are sure of.

You stared at the tv screen as Danny slept on your shoulder. Life was perfect. But for how long? You try your best to not overthink it, and just enjoy what's happening now.

Once the movie ended, you turned the tv off. You sighed. Should I wake him up? You thought. Darn it, he looks like an angel... I don't want to interrupt his slumber.

You tapped your foot as you waited for him to wake up. Slowly, you began to feel tired. It became harder and harder for you to stay awake. Eventually, you lost consciousness, and fell into a deep sleep.

Once you wake up, it's difficult for you to remember what you dreamt about. Maybe you just took one of those naps where you dreamt nothing? Perhaps. Probably. Most likely. You realize that you're head is resting on top of Danny's. Then, you realize you're gripping onto his hand. A blush once again creeps across your face, and you grin slightly.

You cough, shiver, and sit up straight, trying to pull yourself back into the friend zone. Apparently, that woke Danny up.

"Wha- wha- what, I uh, er, buh, what did I miss?" Danny says, speaking gibberish and making randomly noises as he gains consciousness.

You check your phone. It's 3:29. Perfect, time for lunch!

"You hungry?" You ask. Danny slowly opens and closes his eyes, seeming zoned out. He then snaps out of his dazed phase and realizes the question. He nods enthusiastically. You smile and stand up.

     You decide to make waffles for Danny. Yeah, sure, it's lunch time, not breakfast, but who cares. Waffles are tasty! You look behind you so that you can see what Danny's doing.

     You smile as you watch him flip through the channels on your television. It's almost like he lives here with you!

      Almost...

     You go back to cooking the waffles. You decided to add some chocolate chips in there, for extra flavor. Danny will definitely love that, right?

     "Daddy, lunch is ready!" You call out. Danny jumps up from the couch. He then pauses for a moment.

     "D-Did you just call me... Daddy-?" He asked. You blushed, embarrassed, and looked to the side, trying to play it off cool. You make the Debby Ryan face.

     "No, of course not! I just called you Danny. I mean, unless you want me to call you... Daddy..." you say, while you are still making the Debby Ryan face. Danny blushes and covers his face. You chuckle.

     "Just messing with ya." You say. But in reality, you meant what you said. You're finally starting to feel comfortable around him. You can finally "joke" around romantically. Isn't that splendid!?

     "Oh, yeah, just a joke... great..." Danny looked down at the floor and frowned. Was he... sad...?

     "Why do you look down, Danny?" You ask him, as you set his waffles on his plate.

     Danny bit his lip. "Y/N, can I ask you a question?"

     "Of course. What's on your mind?" You respond, as you pour syrup on the waffles.

     Danny walks up to you. He grabs your waist and spins you around so that you're facing him. He get up close, where your noses are only inches apart.

     "Do you love me?" He asks you. Your heart stops. What are you supposed to say? Yes? No? Maybe? You know that you do, but what happens if he doesn't feel the same way? You close your eyes tightly. Alright, Y/N, it's finally time for you to tell him. It's now or never!

     "Yes, I do, Danny. I know it's cheesy but, how about we commit the perfect crime that we can easily get away with. I steal your heart, and you steal mine?" You respond. Danny smiles, and starts to passionately kiss you. You stare at him, shocked, and start kissing him back.

     Is this real...? Can this really be happening? You, Y/N, are kissing Danny DeVito. And he, Danny DeVito, made the first move.

     This has to be the greatest day of your life...

     Everything. Is. Perfect.
