Kang Daniel | Reappear

prompt: the sequel to Vanish; love is all it takes to help daniel bring you back.

note: this is the 7th and LAST day of DANIEL WEEK aka MY BIRTHDAY WEEK!!! this is the week i post seven days of daniel stories as a treat to myself! I am very sad to see this week end, but I hope you guys enjoyed reading the stories as much as I enjoyed writing them! i don’t think i’m going to allow myself to write for daniel for at least a month after this LOL. 

His eyes were prompted open by the bright sunlight streaming through the window. Groaning, he covered his eyes with his hand and tried his best to go back to sleep. A few seconds later, his eyes opened, but they were no longer blurry with drowsiness.

Daniel patted the other side of the bed cautiously, half in fear of what he’d find, and the other half in fear of what might not be there. His fears were justified as he felt nothing but the coldness in the air and on the bedsheet. He sat up and looked around the room for any trace of movement. But all he heard were the meows of Rooney and Peter begging to be fed.

That scared him more. Every morning that you woke up before him, you fed them without fail. He begged them to wait for a second and ran all over the home you two shared, opening the bathroom door and even the closets, eyes searching through every nook and cranny for your face. But all he saw were unused hangers and empty space.

Rooney and Peter reminded him that they were hungry, bringing him out of his miserable trance in front of the closet doors. Daniel dragged his feet to the kitchen and filled their bowls with food and water, then he sat on the couch and stared into oblivion. His head was still in pain from his hangover, but the lack of your presence hurt him more.

He held his head in his hands, desperate to stop the pounding, to stop the reminder of why you left him. He didn’t mean the words he said...so why did he say them at all? He reflected in his own feelings, not wanting to ask for your forgiveness if there was even the slightest chance that he actually did not want it.

But then all of your memories with him suddenly slapped him across the face, as if scolding him for even thinking that he didn’t want you back. He let a few tears fall, some sliding down his lips. Daniel licked them away, only tasting the saltiness of regret. He closed his eyes and could only see instances of your beauty, both internal and external, filling his life with such warmth.

After everything, after all the love you had poured into him, was he really going to give up on you that easily? You are home to him, the source of energy that he needed to make it through the rough life of an idol. You are everything to him.

When he said, “This isn’t worth it” - he meant that fighting wasn’t worth it. He was just too tired to communicate that with you. He knew you wanted him to fight for you, but he just didn’t have it in him last night. That was his biggest mistake: thinking he would have more time to fix this.

He had never spoken to you like that before, never even implied that he was upset with you. That’s because he really wasn’t. He was stressed out with work and displaced his frustrated feelings onto you - you, the greatest thing that ever happened to him. Whenever his head got too big or he felt like giving up, you kept him on the ground and looking at the stars. You reminded him that there was so much left for him to learn and achieve, that you’d be there for all of it.

But where were you now? You weren’t with him because of his stupid decision to drink the stress away instead of relaxing with you. He had missed you so much, but because of his mistake, he could possibly miss you for the rest of his life.

Daniel was still in love with you. He smiled to himself bitterly, knowing that that would always be the case. Even if this was the end for the two of you, his feelings would always remain.

That’s why he decided to fight back, to fight for you.

He knew that you needed time, so he was willing to wait two or three days. Any more than that and he felt like he would crack and run to see you. He also understood that you had to think about the entire situation and what you wanted to do, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t try to contact you.

So he did: the next 48 hours were filled with text messages from him.

I know you need your time. Just know that I would like to talk to you whenever you feel ready.

At first, you were scared of his messages. They all sounded like he wanted to formally end it. But just like clockwork, Daniel started sending texts proclaiming his love. Somehow, he knew just what you were thinking, just like he always has.

I don’t want there to be miscommunication in case my past few messages sound like I don’t want you. I love you. I’ll always want you.

You bitterly smiled at his lack of emojis. You weren’t used to that - his texts were always filled with cute faces and cartoons. You knew he was serious and you would be lying if you said it didn’t satisfy you a little that he realized the gravity of the situation and that it hurt him.

He was texting you before and after every practice, not begging for a response, but simply telling you how his day was going. You recalled having asked him a while ago just to communicate with you, to make you feel like you still knew what was going on in his life.

I just got to practice! I didn’t sleep very well...I think you know why. No pressure or anything! I just wanted to tell you that.

Jaehwan teased me about my dark circles today, but Ong gave him a look so he shut up.

Don’t worry though, I didn’t tell any of the guys. I still have hope for us, so I’m not announcing anything until you tell me you don’t love me anymore.

You couldn’t help but roll your eyes and let out a small laugh when you read that.

I’m eating properly just like you told me to!

The text messages continued on until you got a call one night.

You didn’t speak at first, so Daniel was unsure if you had actually picked up. But you sneezed and got caught. He smiled at the face he knew you were making on the other side of the phone, probably cursing your own body for being unable to stay quiet.

“I know you’re there...I think you should visit Rooney and Peter. They aren’t used to the whole single parent thing and would like this trial separation to end.”

“Who said it was a trial?” You couldn’t help but throw those words at him, biting your lip in slight regret after. It was harsh, but you also knew he deserved them, so inner conflict filled you.

Hearing Daniel intake a small breath, you knew that you had stung him. He took a few seconds to collect himself before replying, “I have hope that it is. Please come back, it...” he breathed in, “...it doesn’t have to be permanent. That’ll be up to you. I just want to talk. Please.”

You entered the home you shared before the fight, walking as if you had never stepped into it before. As if knowing you were behind the door, Rooney and Peter were waiting for you at the foyer, begging to be noticed. You bent down to pet them and kissed them both softly before looking for your intended target.

Daniel was just sitting still when you sat down across from him at the dining table. He looked more tired than usual, the circles under his eyes had gotten darker. But his eyes themselves became bright the second they met yours. That had never changed. He smiled at you weakly, his eyes never leaving your face.

In a way, you were disappointed that he wasn’t rushing to your side and begging for forgiveness. But this was Daniel. Despite being the silly person that he is, he was smart when it came to this. He knew you didn’t want showy gestures. You wanted genuine and he would give that to you.

Besides, he prefers to observe a situation, playing out the different scenarios that could take place depending on what he says. He is cautious when sober, taking in what could go right or wrong. So there he was, observing you. He was watching what your eyes looked at, how your eyebrows furrowed. He needed to see if things would be okay.

And by the wince and quick drop of his smile, you knew that he didn’t like what he saw.

You looked so blank, so tired of it all. He would have rather had you screaming at him, throwing pillows at his head, anything - anything that showed you still cared for him. So he racked through his brain, trying to find the words to make it better.

Apparently, he took too long. You were waiting to hear the reason why you were here, but he was just staring at the table. So you threw your arms into the air, exasperated.

“Daniel, why am I here?”

“...I wanted to apologize.”

You raised an eyebrow, “Okay? So apologize. Let’s hear what you have to say.”

“I’m sorry. I never wanted you to leave. I didn’t even mean anything I said that night and you know that.”

“Do I know that? You seemed pretty serious to me.”

Daniel signed and ran a hand through his hair, “Everything was so in the moment. It’s such a bad excuse, but believe me, that’s the truth.”

“What about ‘why did we even start if all you make me want is for us to end?’ Hm? According to you, you’ve been just dying for us to break up. So why not take the opportunity?” You were egging him on.

“You are everything to me: my happiness, my dreams, my future. None of those exist without you with me.”

“I guess they don’t exist anymore, then.” It might have been cruel but you wanted him to crack, to feel how you felt on that night. You needed him to feel the agony in the unknown, in not knowing if it was over or not.

Daniel definitely felt it, but he was trying so hard to be calm, to not scare you away. He wanted to show that he was mature and that he could take anything you threw at him. But the growing awareness that you might not have anything to throw at all caused his resolve to shatter.

“Please!” He said a little too loudly and stood up. He noticed how you winced at his voice. His heart squeezed in realization that you must have remembered how he sounded on that night.

So he took a deep breath and sat back down, but his eyes were no less pleading as he said, “Those words truly mean nothing. And I know that sounds like the biggest lie, but I promise my frustration has never been because of you.”

“Mind telling me where it comes from then? Because I’m pretty sure it comes from my ‘nagging.’” You bit back with air quotations, eyes as fierce as his the night of the fight.

“Please just listen…” he pleaded with you to remain quiet, to listen to what he had to say. So you bit your lip and nodded, eyes urging him to go on. He sighed in relief at your silence and continued, “The idol life isn’t easy. You, as my number one supporter, know this. But my stresses and insecurities have been adding up. I didn’t have a proper outlet for it…”

“...If I had screamed at anyone else, there would’ve been really bad consequences…” he trailed off, in hesitation of what that might have implied. And you understood. Just when your mouth opened to attack him once more, he panicked and continued, “I took you for granted. I thought you would always be there. I didn’t spend enough time with you. I didn’t spend time with you, period. I regret it all, I really do.”

“So you just used me as a punching bag? To blame because if you did it to anyone else, it’d be over for you?”

He wanted to close his eyes to avoid the hurt, accusing look you were giving him. But he was afraid that by the time they’d open again, you’d vanish once more. So he willed to keep them open and on you as he replied, “Yes. I regret it, but yes.”

“Who says it’s not over for us?”

You tried your best to not let your emotions seep through your words, but he could see right through you. He saw the quivering of your bottom lip as you spoke, heard the crack in your voice at the end of the question. Daniel knew you wanted to stay together almost as much as he did.

So he walked over to your seat and pulled you out of the chair, grabbing your arms and tugging up. You tried to swat him away with a “Don’t touch me!” but the second you felt his warmth, you felt your body slowly caving.

“Daniel, you are not forgiven!”

“I know,” he muttered as he simply wrapped his arms around your waist, placing his chin on your shoulder as he felt you gradually stop squirming, “I know. I don’t want you to forgive me for doing this to us. I put us in such a dangerous position. I almost broke us to the point of beyond repair.”

You felt yourself tearing up as you stood still in his embrace, taking in his words. He knew that you didn’t want to let him hear how much he was affecting you, so he continued to speak,

“But just know that even if that happens, even if you really leave me, I will always try to pick up the pieces. My love for you isn’t going anywhere ever. My heart only knows you, my eyes only look at you. You are my end and my beginning. There won’t ever be a true end to our story, I will always need you. I will always want you.” He pulled away to keep a hand on your waist and his other holding your face to look at him. You were trying not to cry, but the way he was looking at you was so intense that a tear escaped you.

“I know that I hurt you and I hate myself for it. But please, just give us another chance. Please.” Daniel finished, his eyes not leaving your face. You shut your eyes for a moment, reflecting on his words.

Those few seconds made Daniel anxious. What if you still decided to leave him after all of that? He would just have to try harder. He would make you fall in love with him all over again if he had to.

You opened your eyes and he searched them, digging deep into your soul. He found them unreadable until you smiled through your tears, and he knew he still had your heart.

“You’re so stupid! Do you know how annoying your texts are when I’m trying to be mad at you?! And why didn’t you beg sooner?! Ughhh, I thought it was really the end of us…!” You started rambling in earnest, no longer conscious of the relieved tears streaming down your face.

Daniel just started to chuckle as he listened to you talk, happy to hear the life in your voice once more. He stared at you lovingly while wiping away your never-ending tears with his thumbs, laughing harder every time your voice cracked.

By the end of your rant, you were panting and glaring at him. He responded by kissing you on the forehead, your nose, and finally, your lips, “I love you, you know that?”

“Yeah, yeah. Whatever.”

He was observing you again and his heart soared when he saw you hide a smile at his confession. He knew he had gotten a second chance when you reappeared, and he would make the most of it.

Kang Daniel | Host Club

prompt: your friends may have dragged you to a host club, but you can’t help but go back on your own.

note: day 3 of DANIEL WEEK aka MY BIRTHDAY WEEK!!! this is the week i post seven days of daniel stories as a treat to myself! for whoever doesn’t know what a host club is, it’s a place where people pay to be entertained by male hosts! a customer usually pays to talk to a specific host of his or her choosing and talks/flirts/jokes around with him for however much time is paid for! the host club i’m writing about is mostly based on ouran high school host club.

your school’s host club was a new addition to the...extracurricular activities that one could partake in

you heard that there were eleven different hosts that you could choose from

each host was specifically recruited by the mastermind that came up with the idea for the club

and each host had a specific charity that he would donate his proceeds to at the end of every semester

somehow, a bunch of your friends convinced you to go with them after classes let out one month into the semester

“it’ll be for CHARITY!!!”

so you found yourself in front of the ‘grand’ doors of your school’s multipurpose room, in disbelief that you were actually here

before your friends could even knock on the doors, they flew open and gusts of perfume hit you in the face

as you were choking and tearing up with all of the scents around you, your friends rushed past you to pick their hosts

all of them were still free to choose from since your friends made sure you guys were the first to get there

the hosts were standing there, some shy and blushing, others bright and happy

you recognized some from general interest meetings you had attended in their respective clubs

in a strange turn of events that you honestly didn’t understand, your friends convinced you to pick first

personally, you didn’t want to pick a host you had already met because that would just be awkward so you were contemplating based on who seemed to have a personality you might mesh with 

then, a friend whispered in your ear something about the brown-haired host in a suit vest, who was simply smiling at you and messing around with his hands in slight nervousness

you had to admit he was cute, but why him???

“he’s one of the most popular hosts and something about him tells me that you’ll end up liking him”

when you walked up to him to introduce yourself and to tell him you were picking him, you noticed some of the other hosts wiggling their eyebrows at him and whispering quietly amongst themselves in excitement

he bowed and thanked you for your choice, holding out his hand and giving you a bright grin, urging you to follow him

he led you to one of the couches in the back of the room and sat right next to you

“hey, i’m daniel! thank you so much for choosing me! it’ll really help the local animal shelters”

you got excited at hearing about how that was his charity of choice because it was so CUTE and asked him about it

actually, you had gone to the animal conservation club’s room before to ask your friend a question, but you had never seen him before what a shame

daniel got so enthusiastic, telling you about how he occasionally volunteered and even adopted his two pet cats from different shelters

the two of you went on to talk about animals for a bit and then the conversation gradually turned towards other interests that the two of you shared

he loved a game you mentioned having played before and went on about how he used to go to internet cafes with his friends in middle school

eventually, your hour together passed by (tbh too quickly for your liking) and daniel’s next customer was there to be entertained

you got up and said your goodbye, but he asked his next customer for a second and spoke a few more words to you

“i just realized i didn’t even flirt with you at all and i feel really bad because was that what you came here for...?”

you were in shock and burst out into laughter

“nO NO NO, it’s fine, honestly, i just really enjoyed your company!”

he blushed a bit at that and gave you another bright smile

“i hope to see you again soon!”

seeking out information from another source (you would rather die than ask one of your friend’s for info on the host club), you found out that they were open three days a week

so you went the next possible day, sneaking past the curious glances of some of your friends when you said you couldn’t hang out with them 

the host club didn’t even have a chance to open the doors and choke you with its perfumes because you practically burst through, checking to see if you were first

once you were inside, all you saw were eleven shocked faces

you tried to save your appearance and look smooth, but you just heard daniel laughing at how funny you looked

“hahHAHAHAHAHA”

“so should i pick a different host this time...?”

that got him to shut up

he coughed into his hand to hide the rest of his laugh and held out his other hand to you

you warily took it and allowed yourself to be led to the same couch

but just as you were sitting down, you saw another friend being led to the couch adjacent to yours

and in your friend’s hand was that of hwang minhyun’s

you gave your friend a surprised look and started wiggling your eyebrows - had your friend fallen for your school’s resident awkward prince?

your friend turned bright red and hushed you,

“oh shUT UP! as if you weren’t running here to make sure you got to daniel first!”

now it was your turn to shut up

your friend stuck out their tongue at you and turned to minhyun, who was biting his lip trying to contain his happiness

daniel chuckled at the whole exchange but then put his hands up in surrender when you glared at him

hurrying to change the topic, you asked him why he joined the host club in the first place 

he shyly smiled and hesitated a bit, finally telling you that he was urged to do it by ong

“oh daniel! your bright and soft personality is endearing to the customers!” he mocked his best friend’s tone of voice and exaggerrated his hand movements

you laughed so hard and he loved your smile, so he decided that that day would be all about making sure it never left your face

he hit you with a few other funny comments and even teased ong behind his back a bit

“honestly, ong just came up with this club for his own enjoyment”

“wAIT ONG’S THE MASTERMIND? everyone thought someone else made it”

“nah, he just wanted a place to ‘hone his flirting skills for the real world’“

that day was a light-hearted day but you knew that you needed to come back - you loved his company too much

so every other day, you’d find yourself rushing out of your last class to get to the host club first

this went on for almost two months and in that time, you found out so much about him and he learned about you

he had a reputation around school for having a heart of gold and you could confirm this 

“we have fake flowers because we’d rather spend money on our charities than re-ordering them every day” he once said

and on your sad days, when you almost didn’t want to go to the host club, he’d somehow know from the second you walked through their doors and silently take your hand to talk to you on your favorite couch

he was great at comforting you, making you smile, and just making you feel warm inside

sometimes you wondered if his words and tone of voice bordered on flirtatious and the idea of him liking you made you blush

but at the same time, you were scared to ever tell him about the feelings that you formed for him

this was his part-time job - chances were, he didn’t actually like you outside of the time you paid for

one day, you heard from a friend who heard from another friend who heard from this girl that daniel was accepting fewer customers by the day

another student said that he was planning on leaving the host club altogether

so you burst back into the multipurpose room that day and found out that daniel wasn’t there

“ah, his favorite cus—“

“sungwoon, shut up!”

you recognized jisung as he pushed aside ong and sungwoon, who were arguing

“daniel isn’t here today, but he should be back next week”

“is he quitting...?”

jisung’s smile dropped for a second, but it reappeared immediately

“i think you he should be the one to tell you that”

your heart almost burst in your chest with hope that maybe the reason daniel was taking fewer and fewer customers was that maybe...JUST MAYBE...he liked you too 

you got the number of the practice room that daniel liked to dance in whenever he was feeling stressed and ran to it

walking in quietly, you felt a little guilty that you were invading daniel’s privacy, but watching him dance made you forget that

he looked so good in a pair of sweats and a casual t-shirt - you were so used to seeing him in formalwear that his normal clothes were a nice surprise

after he finished, he noticed you through the mirror and turned around in shock, exclaiming your name

but you didn’t waste time with small talk

“why aren’t you accepting as many customers as before? why are you quitting the host club?”

he sighed and wiped his hands with a towel before walking up to you, ruffling your hair in affection

“kid, you ask too many questions”

“who’re you calling a kid—”

“i only joined the host club to find you”

“...”

“ong might’ve told me why i should join the host club, but i had my own reason. i saw you before in my club’s room”

“i was only there once, i’ve never seen you before”

he shook his head, “i was there, i was in the storage closet grabbing boxes when i saw you enter for a minute and then leave”

“...and i was so amazed by how attractive you were. your friend told all of my friends - but not me - your name, so all i had to remember you was your face”

he started rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, voice lowering as he got shyer

“and when you walked up to me as your first choice for host, i couldn’t stop wringing my hands and being nervous, so my friends just knew. i don’t know if you heard them quietly teasing me, but that’s why. since then, i’ve just grown to like you more and more...”

“...and i didn’t think it’d be fair to other people if i tried to flirt with them when i already have someone i like, so that’s why i’ve decided to quit”

daniel smiled nervously at you and you couldn’t help but remember how bright, but subtly shy he was when you first met him

all you could hear was your heart beat loudly in your chest and his quiet panting from the exertion of dancing

“are you flirting with me? after all those times i paid you to do it?” you finally broke the silence and teased him; his smile grew wider

“i never flirted with you properly because i didn’t want you to get the idea that i was only doing it for my job. i really like you”

“and i really like you”

he laughed happily and picked you up, spinning you around the dance room - this was the start of your relationship

you went with daniel to hand in the host club uniform - the suit vest he was wearing on the day you two met

“the only person i’m ever going to entertain now is you!”

and the two of you walked out, hand in hand

you now had your own personal host

Kang Daniel | Attraction

prompt: you move into a new apartment complex. daniel’s your neighbor who owns the cats that always seem to find their way into your home...and your heart.

note: THE START OF MY DANIEL WEEK. so it’s my birthday week (my bday’s on the 26th of october hehe) and as a treat to myself, i’m posting a daniel story each day this week! annie @fromwannaone also requested this because she knew i was desperate for daniel requests :’) a true friend, y’all (also tagging @mongniel because who else should i share my daniel trashiness with than my dearest wife?)

you had just moved into an apartment complex known for having young adults as its tenants

you wanted to make more friends your age, but you were a bit on the shyer side, so you hoped fate would help you out a bit

and it pulled through

one day, when you were cooking yourself a meal, you left your windows open so that the scent of food wouldn’t be trapped in your house

as you were standing at the stove, you suddenly felt something warm and furry rub at your ankle

thinking it was a mouse, you screamed your lungs off and fell on your butt, pulling your legs into yourself for dear life as you closed your eyes in fear

when you finally calmed down, you opened your eyes to see a cat staring at you, looking scared at your overwhelmed reaction

once the cat noticed that you stopped screaming and finally opened your eyes, it walked over to you, nuzzling your thigh

you immediately felt warm inside and opened your arms - the cat jumped onto your lap and you just cuddled with the creature who almost scared you to death

eventually, you got up and looked outside your window, seeing that your fire escape was right next to that of your next door neighbor’s

looking at your stove and then back at your window, you concluded that the cat was probably attracted to the smell of food and the fire escape was how the cat found its way to you

finally, you finished the (almost burnt) food you were making, setting it down on your dining table

when you were just about to eat with the cat on your lap, there was a sudden frantic knocking on your door

the cat jumped off your lap and walked to the door - at first you thought it was scared again, but it was lovingly nuzzling the door as if it knew who was behind it, waiting for you to open it

when you did, there was a beautiful panting male around your age, fist raised in mid-knock and sweating

“um, hi, was it you i heard screaming earlier??? i also want to know if you might’ve seen a cat around this big-”

as he was making hand gestures, the cat practically hugged his leg, purring softly

“rooney! there you are, i’ve been so worried! peter was just bothering me and i didn’t know why until i realized you were gone...”

the male continued to rant as he picked up the cat, hugging it like his life depended on it

“uhh, so do you want to come in?”

his eyes widened when he remembered you were watching, then he sheepishly nodded and stepped in, allowing you to close the door

you offered your food to him, telling him you just cooked too much for yourself alone

seeing his eyes light up and a bit of saliva forming at the mere idea of food, you couldn’t help but laugh and he noticed, making the excuse that he was just about to cook for himself, too

he sat down anyway and was about to dig into whatever you placed in front of him, but his cat jumped off of his lap and into yours

“rooney, don’t bother-”

“it’s okay! i love her!”

“wait, how did you know she was a girl when she has guy’s name?”

you just laughed and shrugged, cuddling into the cat who was now licking your face

the male pouted for a bit, but finished his food in lightning speed, wiping his mouth and smiling at you

“oh, by the way, my name is daniel! sorry, i just got really distracted with rooney and your great food that i forgot to introduce myself! thank you so much for taking care of rooney and feeding me, too...!”

you blushed at his compliments and told him it was fine - the two of you went to the couch to just chat and you found out you had so much in common with him

by the time he had to go, rooney didn’t want to leave your side, but daniel picked her up and walked out the door, giving you a bright smile and a “thank you” before leaving

the next day, your front door was open while you were bringing in groceries, and a different cat found its way inside

“oh! hi there, do you belong to daniel, too?”

the cat meow-ed at the name of her owner, sniffing your apartment for a sign of food

as you were placing the bags on your counter, you heard someone run into your apartment

“peter!!!”

you saw a bright red daniel picking up the cat from your dining table and then waving to you with his free hand, leading to another spontaneous hangout

this started to happen quite frequently, but you didn’t question it, happy that you were making a friend with the help of the cutest cat duo you ever did see

sometimes, the cats wouldn’t show up alone, daniel carrying them in his arms when he comes to your door for a late night hangout session

eventually, you and daniel become super close, and you don’t even question seeing the cats randomly on your couch when you get home

your window is always open for them and you make sure to let daniel know that

one day, as you’re sitting on the couch in front of your open window, you hear someone mutter “rooney, bring this to your other favorite person, okay???” outside your window

you’re confused because was that daniel speaking???

a few seconds later, you feel paws on your head and a loud meow from above - it was rooney

she hopped onto your lap and nuzzled against you in greeting

that’s when you felt something prickling your torso

you saw a piece of paper tucked underneath rooney’s collar and you grabbed it to open,

i could share my cats with you for forever: let’s date :)

your heart started beating quickly and you felt your cheeks quickly flush when you heard three, soft knocks on your door

you ran up quickly to reveal daniel holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a bag of food in the other #goals

he had a shy, hopeful smile on his face that you couldn’t help return as you let him in

“soooo, confession...the first time rooney found herself in your apartment was an accident...but i might’ve sent peter the next day as an excuse to talk to you more...”

you were in shock, unable to speak as you watched daniel set up a table for two, placing the flowers in a vase you didn’t even know you had

“rooney was attracted to your food, but wow, i’m just attracted to you and who you are and your personality and your face and maybe your food too? maybe she gets that from me but i just really want to date you and would like if we could be more than friends...?”

he started to grow nervous at your silence, rambling while he tried to distract himself with the setup

you got up and paused his moving hands, giving him a kiss on the lips to stop his rant

when you pulled away, he was smiling his bunny smile,

“is that a yes?”

and that was how you guys became a couple

honestly, the entire apartment complex loves seeing you guys together

sometimes, daniel even “walks” his cats with you - in reality, that just means you each carry one cat around the complex while holding each other’s hand in your free one

you even got a bigger dining table so that the cats would have their own places at it, and you all eat dinner together like one, happy family

the cats somehow see you as their other parent and daniel gets pouty sometimes, but loves seeing you loved by the other loves of his life so he’s okay in the end

you have never been happier that a cat decided to jump into your life, bringing the most wonderful boy you’ve ever met with her

you woke up on your birthday to the dings of text messages from all of your friends and family

and you felt like you were getting phone calls every ten minutes or so

but for some reason, the person you cared for the most didn’t seem to say anything about your birthday

daniel had sent a good morning text as per usual, but there wasn’t anything different about it

you were wondering (and hoping) that he was just planning on surprising you or something because he couldn’t have possibly forgot...

...right?

but the day went on and 4pm came around - you came home from breakfast and lunch with friends who insisted on treating you

you hadn’t heard much from daniel aside from his usual update texts whenever he went to a new venue for work

sighing, you decided to just sit on the couch and wait it out

as for daniel’s perspective...well, he really forgot...

he walked back into his dorm after his managers told him that his schedule was free for the rest of the day

he was glad to have a little break and plopped his body on the couch, greeting the members that were already home

a good 20 minutes passed while the members stared at daniel, who was just playing games on his phone, before one decided to speak up

“uhhh, hyung? shouldn’t you be getting ready?” it was daehwi

daniel hummed and continued to play, “hmm? for what?”

“you said you had a special dinner to prepare for tonight...” daniel felt his heart drop at this

“...that you had a big surprise for —” but daehwi didn’t get to finish, because daniel was already running around the place, taking off articles of clothing on his way to the bedroom

“shit, shit, shit!”

daniel rushed to get ready and put on an outfit that he had preplanned and hung in his closet, running to do his hair and getting your gift together

he finished in a record time and greeted ong and jisung, who were walking in while daniel zoomed out

“hi! bye!”

both of them looked at the rest of the boys who were sitting on the couch

jisung looked confused for a second but clicked his tongue in realization, “he forgot, didn’t he?”

a chorus of “yup”’s and nods

about an hour later, you heard a frantic knocking at the door, so you looked through the peephole and saw your panicked boyfriend

when you opened the door, you could tell by his panting and nervous eyes that he had forgotten

you tried not to smile - he was dressed in an outfit that you mentioned you wanted to see him in one time

he had on a white button up shirt with a red bowtie, with round glasses adorning his face

he also had a huge bouquet of all your favorite flowers in one hand, and two bags in the other

“happy birthday!”

“you forgot, huh?”

he knew you were a bit disappointed in him and he felt even more guilty when he saw the big number balloons of your age that your friends had gotten you in the corner of your living room as he stepped in

you sat on the couch, all pouty with your arms crossed, praying that you would be able to stay upset at him for even a few minutes

“kid, i’m really sorry. i don’t know what happened to me, i have your birthday on every calendar in the dorm, on my phone, on everything! it’s my favorite day of the year!”

“can’t believe you forgot your ‘favorite day’ so easily then” you muttered as you closed your eyes, willing yourself not to give in to his cute face

he sighed and set down the things he was carrying on your coffee table

“i’m here, i’m not too late! and i have your favorite cake and flowers...and a little something else”

you peeked one eye open and scolded yourself internally - he was doing the puppy eyes you knew you could never resist

so you put your arms out instead and he placed the flowers in them, “there, almost as beautiful as you”

“shut up”

he laughed and opened one of the bags to reveal a box of cake, getting up to find a candle and a match somewhere in your kitchen

he lit the candle and placed it on your cake, holding it up and singing to you,

“happy birthday to you! happy birthday to youuuu! happy birthday to my shortyyyyy~ happy birthday to you!”

you completely caved and laughed at his song, blowing out the candle and kissing his cheek

“thank you, daniel”

“thank you for forgiving me! i really am sorry...the guys had to remind me and everything. i guess i was just tired from my schedule, but that’s not an excuse. i should’ve been here from the moment you woke up”

“it’s okay, you’re here now and that’s what matters”

daniel smiled weakly at first, but then picked up the other bag to hand to you

you opened it and pulled out the purple and yelllow nerdy jacket in your size

“now we can match”

he then handed you a stuffed envelope with a happy grin on his face

“what’s this?”

“an envelope”

“and what’s with the outfit? you look hot, though”

he laughed at that, “thank you, you said you wanted to see me in a bowtie so i wore one for you. now enough questions, kid. just open the envelope”

you carefully opened it, laughing at all the cat, peach, and smiley face stickers that were keeping it sealed

out of the envelope came folded pieces of paper, flowing onto your lap

you picked one up and read it aloud with the eager prompting of your boyfriend who was gesturing to them with his head,

“i promise to eat more”

picking up another one, you read, “i promise to try my best to give my hair a break”

before you read another, you paused and looked up at daniel, who was smiling shyly

“daniel, what is all of this?”

he wrapped an arm around you and brought you closer to him on the couch, kissing your forehead softly

“i know that the thing you want the most in the world is for me to be healthy, so i made all these promises. if i write them down, they’re easier to keep, you know? and i included a bunch of other promises that are going to give me the opportunity to spoil you for once”

you sniffed, feeling yourself getting emotional, and lay your head on his shoulder while you picked up the next piece of paper,

“i promise to get us at least one more cat by the end of this year”

daniel wiggled his eyebrows and gave you a hopeful look with his bunny smile, “great, no?”

“this sounds like a present for you more than me...”

“you told me that when i’m happy, you’re happy!”

you rolled your eyes and laughed, using your free hand to try and tickle him

but he caught your moving hand with his hand that was resting on your lap, kissing your fingertips one by one

“i hope i’ll be able to hold this hand for all of your future birthdays”

you knew he was being cheesy, but the honesty in his eyes was too much for you to handle, so you blushed and coughed, returning to the paper pieces

the two of you continued to cuddle, laugh, and get mildly serious as you read through the rest of his promises

he had written as many as the age you were turning

when you arrived at the last one, you noticed that it was tucked into the corner of the envelope tightly, as if needing to stay there until the very end

you tugged it out and daniel started to get excited once more,

“this is it! this is my actual present!”

you rose an eyebrow at him and looked around your coffee table where the bouquet, the cake, and the jacket lay,

“this wasn’t enough?”

he squished your cheek lightly and bopped your nose, “i could give you all the riches in the world and it wouldn’t even come close to what you deserve, babe”

“you’ve been hanging out with ong too much”

“shhh, just read it”

scoffing, your eyes moved from daniel to the paper, scanning over its words not once, not twice, but three times to make sure you were actually reading it right

“i promise...to spend my week long vacation next month with you wherever you want to go”

you looked up at him, eyes squinting in suspicion

“is this some prank?”

he put a hand to his chest, looking hurt “kid, you act like i’m good at lying”

“then you actually have a full week off?!”

he laughed at your excited face and poked your forehead, “yes! and you can also pick wherever you want to go. i’ve saved up enough for this!”

you thought for a moment and daniel smiled as he watched you

“i want to go to busan”

he froze for a second and furrowed his eyebrows, “um, are you sure? we could go to europe or hong kong, or anywhere you want”

“i’m sure”

“why don’t you think about it more? you have a lot of other options”

“daniel, i want to go to busan” you said firmly, eyes daring him to oppose you

he laughed and ruffled your hair, then he pulled your head in even closer to him to give you a big hug

“you’re too good to me. it’s your birthday, but i’m the one who keeps getting surprised”

“i know you miss your family, especially your mom and the cats. i miss them, too...” you went on to ramble as he stared at you adoringly, face mesmerized by your inner and outer beauty

“...and i want you to show me around where you grew up and i want to meet all of your friends and the people who taught you how to b-boy! i want to know everything about you!”

when you finished your reasoning, daniel grabbed your face and stared into your eyes, unable to find the words that described his feelings for you

so he captured your lips with his, the searing passion of his love emitting through his warmth

he pulled away every few seconds to whisper words of affection, his hands traveling up and down your back as the two of you continued to kiss

your hands were rubbing his shoulders and chest, your fingers playing with his bowtie every now and then as you lost yourself in his love

when he pulled away, he rested his forehead on yours as his face quickly returned to its normally fluffy, sweet state

“thank you so much for being born. it’s your birthday but it’s the most important day of my year because it’s a reminder that you’re really here and that you choose to be with me every day. thank you, i love you”

he whispered this so lovingly that you felt like you would melt

you were on the top of the world in his arms and despite the day not starting off as you would have liked it to, you wouldn’t have changed a thing

Kang Daniel | Skin & Bones

prompt: you remind daniel that he doesn’t need to lose weight to be perfect.

note: day 2 of DANIEL WEEK aka MY BIRTHDAY WEEK!!! this is the week i post seven days of daniel stories as a treat to myself! also, @mongniel and i were so sad to see daniel’s weight loss. we miss the chubby cheeks! but really, we just want him to be happy and healthy always. #feedkangdaniel2k17

warning: possible triggers relating to a negative body image!

Looking all around the subway cart, you noticed everyone on their phones. That’s when you saw it: the girl standing in front of you had a fanmade case with your boyfriend’s face on it. You smiled to yourself, proud that Daniel had made it so far after all of his hard work.

When the passenger seated next to you got off at the next stop, the girl replaced him. Out of the corner of your eye, you could tell that she was looking up more pictures of Daniel. Happy to see another one of his supporters, you sneakily took peeks every now and then to get an idea of how his fans viewed him.

But alarm struck you when you saw how skinny he looked in the fantaken pictures of their show in Taipei. Physically, the two of you had not been together for a few weeks due to his busy schedule. You were actually on your way to meet him at this time since he had a small break.

You got off the train soon after and walked to Wanna One’s dorm, where you knew Daniel would be. While you certainly worried about his apparent weight loss, a part of you hoped that it was some sick, edited photo. These thoughts consumed you as you made your way to their front door.

Jisung opened the door and greeted you, as did the rest of the members who were home and fooling around in the living room. Observing your eyes searching for Daniel, Seongwu nudged you and handed you a bowl of snacks.

“He’s in our room resting. Here, I don’t think he’s eaten yet today. He just got home an hour ago.” You took the bowl with a smile and waved to the boys before you knocked on the closed door lightly.

No response. You knocked again and called out, “Daniel? It’s me. I’m coming in.” Shrugging your shoulders at the curious looks the members were giving you, you opened the door, entered the room, and then shut the door.

At first, you didn’t see see him since the room was quite dark. Then you saw a bright light coming from the ground in one of the corners. You walked closer and saw Daniel standing on a brightly lit machine.

“Daniel? What’s that?”

The poor boy almost fell in surprise at your voice, but smiled brightly while he called out your name anyway. He quickly bent down to put away whatever he was standing on and jogged to you, opening his arms wide to embrace you.

You hugged him back excitedly, the bowl of snacks forgotten on a nearby side table, eager to feel his warmth after some time apart. However, you noticed that your hands reached further around his torso than they used to. You let them linger, sneakily rubbing his back to get a better feel for this change in his body.

He started to laugh, “You’re tickling me!” So you started to actually tickle him, giggling when he playfully moved around to avoid your fickle fingers. That’s when you saw it. In the dimly lit room, his suddenly more prominent cheekbones reflected the light off of the lamp. The shadows of his hands that were trying to avoid your body were thinner than you remembered. You needed to see him for real, so you rushed to the light switch and turned it on.

When the darkness disappeared, you finally saw your boyfriend. Daniel was still smiling, albeit a bit more confused this time, and watched your movements. But all you were doing was watching him, taking in his appearance.

His body wasn’t as skinny as you feared it would be, but he definitely lost even more weight than he had the last time you saw him. His shirt, which had been one of your favorites on him, had become baggier. His jeans were looser. The arms that have been glued to your body on numerous occasions weren’t as full.

Your eyes then moved to his face. He was still as handsome as ever, but your heart hurt at the memories of his chubby cheeks. But nothing prepared you for the heartbreak you faced when you looked into his eyes. He was so tired - emotionally and physically - and you could tell.

“What happened to you?” You couldn’t help but ask him, moving closer to him once more. He cocked his head, asking you what you meant.

“You’ve lost so much weight!”

“Ah, you see, it’s just part of the idol job!”

Your nostrils flared at this, “Is it your company again? Are they making you lose even more weight?” You were about to go on a rampage and you felt it. How dare they even think that Daniel needed to lose more weight. He had already lost so much during Produce 101— 

“No! It’s not my company, I promise. It’s for me this time.”

That stopped you in your tracks. Your shoulders, which had been propped up for battle, fell as your eyebrows furrowed. You didn’t get it. 

“Why...?”

Daniel sighed and walked back to the corner he was standing in when you walked into the room. Bending back down, he retrieved the mysterious object that was glowing earlier. He shuffled his feet on his way to you, presenting the item almost sheepishly.

It was a weighing scale.

You wanted to say something, but words weren’t forming. You were speechless. He was so perfect the way he was and would always be perfect, regardless of his weight- why couldn’t he see that?

He noticed your silence and sighed, “I’ve been weighing myself a lot. I just think that as an idol, I should look the part, you know?” You shook your head at that, finding your strength to speak once more.

“Daniel, you’ve always looked like an idol. You came out of the womb looking ready for the spotlight!”

“You’re just saying that because you love me—“

“Yes, I love you, but you have always been perfect the way you were. Even with you losing weight, you’re perfect. But you know what’s not perfect? You looking down on yourself - you limiting yourself. Do you think your fans would be happy to know how much you’ve been starving yourself just to look a certain way?”

“I haven’t been starving myself. I just eat less.”

“That doesn’t answer the question, Daniel. You know your fans would be so upset to see this! You were voted as #1, you don’t think they love you for who you are already?!”

“I started to get more votes when I lost weight on the way to ‘Open Up,’ so I just figured that’s what got everyone’s attention...” He muttered sadly, walking over to his bed and sitting on it. You followed and took a seat beside him, taking hold of his hand.

“No, you know what got everyone’s attention? Your bright personality, your brilliant dance moves, your husky voice, and most importantly, your genuine heart. Daniel, please don’t reduce yourself to your appearance when you know you’re so much more than that.” You pleaded with him and brought his hand up to your lips, kissing it lightly to show your support.

He smiled weakly at that, “But what if me losing weight makes the fans happy?”

"Are you really happy? You can't even eat what you want anymore and it makes me so sad every time I see that." You dropped his hand and took his face between your palms. Your heart squeezed a bit when you realized the lack of squish that was there now, but you continued on anyway, “Your fans are happy to see you happy. They want you happy and healthy all the time. How are you going to do that if you can’t eat meat as often as you’d like?”

Daniel laughed and nodded cutely, smiling genuinely at you. He leaned in to steal a kiss from your lips and placed his forehead on yours, “You’re absolutely right. I shouldn’t limit myself as much anymore. As long as I stay healthy enough to perform for them, I’ll be happy.”

“That’s my boy.”

“But the dentist told me that I still can’t eat jellies...”

You laughed at his pouty face, “I’m sure you can sneak one every now and then. Now here, “ you reached over to the side table and picked up the bowl you took into the room, “I brought snacks!” He smiled cheekily and kissed you again before popping a pretzel into his mouth. And with that, Daniel was on his way to a stronger self-love with you by his side.

Kang Daniel | Study Buddies

prompt: what would it be like to study with daniel?

note: day 5 of DANIEL WEEK aka MY BIRTHDAY WEEK!!! this is the week i post seven days of daniel stories as a treat to myself! IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY YESSSS. so i was planning on doing a different prompt but i kind of got distracted with school so i didn’t write it on time AND it’s midterm month for me so this was a perfect way to distract myself once again — 

honestly, it would take daniel a lot to sit down, focus, and really start to study

he’s so easily distracted - wow look at that piece of paper blowing in the wind produced by the fan in the left corner of this library in the middle of this street in seoul, wow

you’d always want to sedate him or something because as long as he’s hyper, you won’t be able to concentrate

he’s also the type of person who needs to have food/snacks readily available:

you need gummy bears to fuel your fire? he has them

chips to satisfy your salty craving? he’d feed you himself because that’s one minute less that he’ll be studying

daniel would get scolded by the librarian a lot - so much so that the librarian hears a noise and automatically assumes it’s him

unfortunately, you’d get dragged into a lecture as well

but once you give him that look, he’ll nod and pout a bit, whispering that he’ll get serious now

“i understand, let’s get down to business”

and after that, he’d be a pretty damn good study buddy

he seems like he’d have an eye for pointing out possible questions your teacher/professor could ask on a test

“babe, i think this point is going to be on the exam”

and whaddya know, it actually ends up being on the test!

he’d also be so concentrated that the only thing that would get him out of the zone would be the purr of a cat - the library’s on fire? too bad, he’s studying

daniel would also pick up things fairly quickly; he’d read about a concept about two times and be able to explain it to you like he created it

but this is only if the topic interests him - if not, well then you’ll probably be on your own tbh

if it’s something that he’s good at that you’re struggling in, though, he’d definitely teach you quickly, happy that you need him

you ever get caught staring at him and that’s it, you’ll be teased for the rest of the day

but actually teaching you, daniel would be super patient and understanding, explaining a subject over and over again, as many times as you need

whenever the two of you guys need to do independent study because you just can’t concentrate with his beautiful face around, he’d completely accept it

“that’s cool!!! i’ll be just at that table over there if you need help with anything”

and he’d walk backwards to a different table, holding his books with one hand and waving at you lovingly with the other, a smile on his face

honestly, you’d be tempted to call him back because how could you ask that angel to walk away— 

no no no, you can’t think that way, you needed to be strong for the next few hours

...even as much as it saddened you to not pay attention to him for a bit

every once in a while, you’d be tempted to look up and observe his face for a small recharging session

sometimes, he would be already looking at you and when he notices you looking back, his face would instantly brighten up and you could tell you gave him a little boost too with that alone

other times, he’d be super focused and writing quickly, eyebrows furrowed and tongue sticking out slightly

honestly, you’d get a little distracted staring at him even from a far away place...

one time, you looked back at his spot and where he was supposed to be, but he wasn’t there

you looked all around you but didn’t see him anywhere in sight, so you just continued to study, hoping he didn’t leave out of boredom or anything

all of a sudden, your books were pushed to the side of your table and a delicious aroma filled your nostrils

a plastic bag with food containers was placed in front of you and when you tilted your head back to see who had placed them, you saw the love of your life

“hey shorty, how’s studying going?”

he was peering down at you with his bright, happy smile and you continued to look up at him just as adoringly

“not really good, i’m so tired of it all...”

“well lucky for you, i brought your favorites!”

“what did i do to deserve you?”

he laughed and snuggled your nose with his own a bit,

“you’re just the amazing person you are”

daniel then kissed your forehead a few times in succession and then your lips as a final touch

“you got this, kid! i believe in you!”

with that, he stood up straight and started walking back to his table, giving you a thumbs up when he sat down

you felt so lucky and warm to have him in your life and there with you

during late night study sessions, he wouldn’t wear his contact lenses because they would just irritate his eyes

you know what that means

glasses daniel

his glasses would fall to the tip of his nose at times, but he’d be so into his work that he wouldn’t notice

you’d have to calm yourself down because whoa his glasses made him look even more attractive even if you didn’t know that was possible

sometimes, he’d fall asleep on top of his book, one hand under his head and the other arm would be flailed somewhere random

he’d drool a bit and his glasses would be uneven, his lips pouty and sticking out slightly

the librarian might come back to the table that the two of you are at because she has to hush you guys again

but in reality, she’ll see that it’s just daniel sleeptalking really loudly

you’d have to know when to wake him up or not, depending on whether his exam is the next day or in a week, because he will sleep until awoken

whenever you leave him to sleep, you study until you realize that it’s either a) too late and you’ve gotten what you need in your brain already or b) it’s pointless and you’ve accepted defeat

then you wake him up and it’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen

he jolts awake and stares at you blankly for a few seconds, mind trying to wrap around the idea of being awake

then daniel would quickly wipe off the dry drool on his chin and smile sheepishly

“it’s time to go?”

you’d nod and he’d look so relieved, like he’d let a breath out and everything

he’d gather his things at the speed of light and hold out a hand for you to take, suddenly hyper despite being exhausted a few minutes ago

also, he’d be hungry after all his “hard work” and demand that the two of you have a spontaneous ice cream date

after a few laughs and stealing licks out of each other’s cones, he’d drop you off and wish you luck on any additional studying you do at home

on the day of your exam, expect LOTS of good luck text messages from the precious boy:

GOOD LUCK BABE!!! if there’s anyone who can surprise me by being smarter than expected, it’s you

JKJKJKJK DON’T IGNORE ME I WAS KIDDING

YOU’LL DO GREAT I KNOW IT, YOU’RE A GENIUS, I’M DATING A GENIUS

but seriously, keep calm and make sure you eat something that’ll help you focus and stay full. you know everything there is for this! i’ll be waiting for you outside. i love you :)

and he really would wait for you outside of your class, ready to either cheer you up or celebrate

+ he’d be the first one you tell your grade to

sometimes, he’d even be the one who checks your grades when you’re too scared to do it yourself

but no matter what, he’ll always be proud of you!!!

100 Ways to Say “I Love You” | #10 | Kang Daniel

prompt: you find love in the small things.

note: day 4 of DANIEL WEEK aka MY BIRTHDAY WEEK!!! this is the week i post seven days of daniel stories as a treat to myself! i kinda cheated because this one is shorter than the rest, but i’ve been dying to write this prompt for forever so please enjoy! this comes from a list that can be found here!

“I’m sorry for your loss.”

Daniel walked into your shared apartment with your favorite candy and ice cream in tow. It was at-home date night and he couldn’t wait to cuddle up with you after a long day of practice. When he stepped inside, he was greeted by Rooney and Peter nuzzling themselves on his legs. Laughing, he tried to tiptoe around so he wouldn’t injure them.

“Kids, move before I hurt you!” 

They meow-ed at him before moving, somehow having understood their father’s request. He called out your name to tell you that he was home, but not hearing a response, he just figured you were taking a nap. Daniel put the ice cream into the freezer and the candy on the kitchen counter, humming along to the first song he ever danced for you to.

He was dancing, just shaking his butt to the music in his head, when he heard a quiet sob and sniffle. He paused and listened silently, putting a finger to his lips when Peter started to meow at him. After a minute, he heard it again and he grew worried.

Daniel walked swiftly into the living room to see you with your face in your hands, your shoulders quivering with every sob that came out of you. He was even more scared now, coming up with comforting words to say despite not knowing what had actually happened to you.

“Babe, what’s wrong?”

Hearing his voice had you shoot up, wiping your eyes aggressively to make any trace of your tears disappear. His hands grabbed your own to stop you, staring you in the face to try to make your eyes communicate with him what you were feeling. “Hey, what happened? Talk to me. Did I do something? Is today a special day that I stupidly forgot?”

You sobbed harder at his considerate words, shaking your head at his assumptions, “No, you didn’t do anything. You’re perfect…”

“Then what’s wrong? Is your family okay? What about your friends?”

Shaking your head once more, you spoke again, “It’s stupid, really. Don’t worry, I’ll be okay…”

“Babe, your feelings are never stupid. I care about you and I care about all of your feelings. So please…tell me what’s wrong.” Your heart hurt more at how worried he sounded, so you decided to tell him the truth.

You sighed and pointed at a manga volume on your coffee table. He picked it up and raised an eyebrow at it, as if asking you “This?”

Nodding, you took it from his hands as he joined you on the couch, and you opened it, searching for a specific page. When you got to it, you whimpered again before you showed it to him, looking away while he read it.

“Wait, is this because he died?” Daniel asked in disbelief, pointing at your favorite character’s corpse in a panel on the page. You pouted and nodded, hugging yourself.

“Babe,” Daniel started, taking the manga and placing it back onto the coffee table, “Don’t worry. It’s okay to be sad. I knew he would die, but I didn’t know how much you loved him. I’m sorry for asking you to start reading the manga.”

You felt guilty then, letting a few last tears slip out. You shook your head in denial of his words and told him that it wasn’t his fault. The character was admittedly very minor, so you didn’t expect much. But you also just didn’t expect his death.

He took your curled up figure into his arms, wrapping his legs around your body. Daniel wiped the remaining tears from your face, kissing all over your cheeks, forehead, and lips in comfort. He then guided your face into the crook of his neck, whispering, “I’m sorry for your loss. I hope I can hug the pain away.”

You laughed softly and he felt you nod. He was happy that he came when he did, so that he could comfort you in your time of sadness. Suddenly, he remembered something. Pulling his head away from yours for a brief moment, he stared down at you with a happy grin,

“I brought your favorite ice cream and candy! If my hugs and kisses don’t make the pain go away, your favorite food sure can!” You laughed again and kissed him in gratitude, whispering how you just wanted to feel his warmth for a bit more before you ate.

“And even if he’s dead in the manga…he’ll always live on in your heart…and fanfiction.”
