Pedro Pony x Danny Dog fan fiction

Part 1: Danny..?

Pedro  had always believed life was good. He was upbeat, positive, and energetic. But when he got into his teen years and he separated from his former middleschool friends he begins questioning his notion. Soon enough he plunged into a spiral of emotions. His mother began to drink when his father left. He had no one to talk to. Eventually he met his middleschool school crush, Peppa and they started dating. He wasn't happy he simply wasn't lonely anymore. But, years later when Pedro gets a call from Danny to ask him to stay over, Pedro starts questioning his loyalty to his girlfriend of 3 years. He becomes closer to Danny, closer than he ever had with his girlfriend and maybe, just maybe, 19 year old Pedro wasn't as straight as he once thought.

Pedro POV:

I had just left Peppa's house when I got a call, I picked my phone up and spoke,

"Hello? Who is this?" I said leaning against my car.

"Hey! Pedro! Good to hear from ya! It's Danny!" I heard the deep gruff voice of my old friend from the other side of the phone. I jumped, slightly shocked to hear him again.

"Hey Danny! Wow you sound different!" I joked.

"Heh yeah, but you haven't changed a bit little nerd" I could feel the taught like a bullet, but it didn't upset me.

"Hey not fair. I have a girlfriend now." I announced.

"Oh.. You do? Uh who is it?" His voice sounded more dull. I suspected he hadn't got a girlfriend yet and felt embarrassed.

I puffed up my chest proudly as if he could see me and announced, "It's Peppa, you know that chick from middle school?" As I spoke the words didn't feel right. Like I was doing something wrong.

I've been dating her for over 3 years and yet I never feel comfortable kissing her. I just felt like it's blind love. I don't feel like I can confide in her about my problems, and boy do I have a lot of them.

"Uh.. Cool.." His voice was a quiet with a heavy weight I couldn't pinpoint what the source was.

"So why'd you call me so suddenly anyway?" I asked, trying to set the conversation back on track.

"Well my Dad is going fishing, and my mom is going out with some friends for the night. I kinda wanted someone to talk to but my friends are all on holiday, then I saw your name in my contact list and decided to see if you were free!" His voice slowly became his usual peppy self and I smiled to myself.

"I'd love to! What time?" I agreed, getting in my car.

"I was thinking around 6 I'll pick you up?" 

"Alright! Am I staying the night?" I asked starting my car.

"If you wanna, and you can bring some extra clothes"

He smacked my head. I haven't done laundry! Crap.. I won't have any clean clothes, and I can't wear dirty ones, I need to make a good first impression. To prove I'm all grown up!

"Ah.. Well the thing is I have a roommate and it's his turn to do laundry but he hasn't and I think all my clothes are still down at the dryers" I lied, I couldn't let him know I was too lazy to do them!

"Ah that's alright, you can borrow some of mine!"

"Alrighty, 6 PM you pick me up?"

"Yup, it's a date" I heard him say with a hint of taught.

And before I could say anything he chuckled into the phone and hung up.

I shook the last comment off and began driving home. Why would he say that?! Is he gay? I thought, Nah he was probably just kidding around, why am I so hung up on this? It's fine..

I went home and gathered some stuff like books, video games, food, and my favorite stuffed animal. Will he think I'm weird for having a stuffy? I thought slightly embarrassed, I'll hide it just to be safe. I stuffed the little panda into my bag at the bottom. I flung myself onto the couch and flicked on the TV to pass the time.

Danny POV:

I paced my room, picking up anything remotely embarrassing and  then moved to the living room and gaming room. I looked at the time and realized it was already 5:45. I grabbed my phone and keys and trotted out to my car, hopping in and driving to the location Pedro had given me.

When I arrived Pedro was outside a small apartment complex with a backpack and a few books in hand.

I parked and got out walking over to him. "Get Pedro! Good to see ya! Man it's been awhile." He said, he laughed and was hugged. Only then did I realized he was a decent size shorter than me. 

"You've 'grown' eh?" I teased, patting his head. He puffed up, clearly annoyed, "I told you I HAVE." He snorted. "Let's just go before I change my mind." He laughed, getting in the car. I followed and started it up. All the way back to my house we chatted and reminisced about our Middleschool days and how we missed them.

I just watched him with awe. How could someone so clueless be so god damn adorable? The truth is I invited him because I wanted to get to know him again. It took me 5 years to work up the courage to even send him a text and I'm not gonna lose him now. Everything had to be perfect. Then maybe he would want to be friends again!

I hope..
