late night talking | drw x f!reader

danny x f!reader | fluff, some suggestive dialogue | no warnings (minors dni tho please n thx)

summary: some post-show aftercare for danny after playing a few shows in a row starts to catch up to him.

hi! happy wagner wednesday! this is just a whole lot of fluff pretty much. (this is my first fic in this fandom! let me know what you think 🙈 my asks are open for ideas/prompts/requests!)

———

It’s late when he gets back, but that’s normal. You’d come home after the show ended, knowing the band had a couple of post-show interviews scheduled and not wanting to be too in the way. Danny had insisted you wouldn’t be, and you knew he meant it— knew all the guys did, when they asked if you were sure you had to leave. But they’d just finished the last show of a three show stint back home, and you knew they’d be tied up with interviews and photo ops for awhile. And besides— you had something you wanted to do.

“It’s fine,” you’d said, pushing up on your toes to press a kiss to the bottom of Danny’s chin. He’d ducked his head and caught your lips immediately after in a quick peck, and you’d smiled against his mouth, pressing one more kiss to his lips before backing away, not wanting to get too into it. “I’ll see you at home.”

“‘Course, baby,” Danny had murmured, reaching out to pull you back in for a quick hug. He pressed a kiss to your temple and swatted at your backside, unable to help himself. “See you soon.”

You’d winked at him and said goodbye to everyone else, heading out with one of the security guys to where you’d been told to park your car earlier that afternoon.

Now, you listen as you hear the telltale signs of Danny getting home. You hear him toe his shoes off at the door, hear the thud of his bag on the floor beside them, and then, right on cue—“Baby?”

“In here,” you call softly. You’re sitting in the living room, on the couch, the only light a lamp in the corner and some candles on the coffee table.

“You shower yet?” Danny asks as he pads down the hallway. “Wanna join—“ You watch as he rounds the corner into the living room. He sees your setup, and you take in his face as he realizes what you’ve got planned.

“How did you know?” He asks sheepishly, stepping into the room. “I barely flinched.”

“Saw the flinch. And saw you trying to stretch it out after Dreams,” you answer and tilt your head up to accept the kiss he’s leaning in to give you. “And yeah, I showered already. Why don’t you go ahead?”

“God, yes. I’m gross. Was hoping you’d have waited for me, though…” Danny teases, then leans in and kisses you again. “Thanks for coming tonight. And the other nights, too.”

“Wouldn’t have missed it,” you reply, smiling up at him. “Now go. I’ll be waiting.”

It doesn’t take long for Danny to return to you, freshly showered and changed into a pair of comfy shorts. He’s foregone a shirt, and you let yourself take him in, all long and lean and muscly as he ambles over to you.

“See something you like?” Danny asks, cheeky, smiling at you.

“Always,” you answer immediately. You pat the spot beside you on the couch and then turn so you’re leaning against the arm rest, splaying your legs open and resting one against the back of the couch. Danny walks over and sits in between your thighs, his back to your chest, and leans his head back against your shoulder. His hair is still up in a towel, and you know he probably only left it up so he wouldn’t get you soaking wet when he leaned on you.

Once he’s situated, you press a kiss to the top of his cheek, just under the corner of his eye. “Does it hurt now?” You ask, your lips still brushing his skin. You touch your hand lightly to his right shoulder. “Do you need some Advil, maybe?”

“Not right now,” Danny answers honestly. “Want me to scoot?”

“Just a smidge,” you reply, and grab the small vial of essential oil from the coffee table, just in arms reach. “So tall.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Danny shoots back, but he slides a little further down the couch so you have better access to his shoulders and neck. You’d tried this with him laying down on his stomach, before, but had found that the best relief came from him still sitting up somewhat upright. “So small.”

“Shut up, I’m of perfectly average height,” you fire back back as you pour a few drops of the essential oil into your hands, rubbing your palms together for a second before sliding your arms over Danny’s shoulders and cupping your palms in front of him. “Deep breath,” you command gently.

Danny, knowing the routine, inhales deeply through his nose, taking in the scent of the lavender essential oil. You’d picked this one for two reasons: firstly, because it’s relaxing—but mainly because it’s Danny’s favorite. He holds his breath for a count before exhaling, already sinking a little farther back into you as he starts to relax. Once he’s repeated the inhale-exhale cycle a few times, you bring your hands to his shoulders and start to work your fingers into the tight muscles.

“Oof,” Danny grimaces a little when your thumb finds the spot you know is bothering him.

“Sorry,” you reply, instantly lightening your touch further.

“No, s’good,” Danny assures you. “Hurts. But it’s helping.”

It doesn’t happen often, but every once in awhile, Danny plays hard enough during a show that he reaggravates an old golf injury. It rarely bothers him, but you’re used to his tells- you even remember the original injury, though the two of you were just friends then— and had seen him wince a little tonight somewhere during the extensive drum and guitar solo in The Weight of Dreams. Their stint back home had been exciting for all the guys, and the energy at each show had been truly electric, but tonight had been absolutely unreal. Plus, with it being the last of three shows, it wasn’t that surprising that Danny re-pulled the muscle.

You work his shoulders and neck, your thumb applying pressure where you know he holds tension, working at a knot just in between his shoulder blades.

“Holy shit,” Danny mutters as you smooth your hands over his shoulders and down his arms. “How are you so good at that?”

“Gee, I wonder,” you reply, bringing your palms back up from his elbows to his biceps, then up to his shoulders again. “Could it be that I’ve been giving you massages for literal years?”

“No, that can’t be it,” Danny replies, and you know without seeing his face that there’s a hint of a smile teasing at his lips. “Gotta be magic, or something.”

“Oh, that too,” you agree, going along with it. “Sammy and I were practicing our spells the other night when you went to get the food.”

“So thaaaat’s why he looks taller,” Danny jokes. “He tried to tell me he was working on his posture.”

You huff out a laugh as you finish up your massage. “All done,” you say, punctuating it with a kiss to Danny’s cheek. You tug at the edge of the towel. “Want me to braid your hair?”

“Can’t move,” comes Danny’s reply, although he immediately contradicts himself and moves, flipping himself over so he’s facing you, still laying between your legs. He lays his head against your sternum, basically burying his face in between your breasts, and you can’t help but laugh.

“Thought you couldn’t move, hm?” You ask, the fingertips of one hand still dancing across his back, his shoulders.

“Couldnt,” Danny answers, voice slightly muffled. “But then I realized I’d be so much more comfy like this.”

You’re still leaning against the arm rest, so you wiggle your way down the couch a little. Danny moves with you, not giving up his current position, until you’re situated with your head against the arm rest and him laying comfortably atop you.

“Need to do your hair,” you murmur, lips pressed to Danny’s forehead. “Wanna pull it up?”

“I’ll fix it in the morning,” comes Danny’s reply, voice already heavy with sleep.

“Baby,” you sing-song, dancing your fingers along his spine. “Can’t fall asleep here, it’ll fuck up all my hard work on your back.”

“Just a nap,” Danny insists, somehow managing to burrow even further into the softness of your breasts. He’s wedged an arm under you, grasping you around the waist like a pillow, and his other hand cups your breast. “So comfy here. Favorite place.”

“You’re an idiot,” you laugh, gasping when he brushes a thumb across your nipple. “Daniel.”

“Baby.”

“Thought you were sleepy?” Your breath catches as he does it again, accompanying the movement over your nipple with a kiss to the soft skin of your breast, exposed from where the neckline of your tank top has been dragged down.

“Am sleepy,” Danny answers. “Also want you. Wanted you so bad after the show, then your magic hands—“

He trails off, and you smile, pressing another kiss to his forehead. “My magic hands?”

You’ve been running your fingertips up and down his spine as you lay there, feeling as his breathing slows and becomes deeper, more rhythmic. It takes him awhile to answer you, this time, getting closer and closer to succumbing to rest.

“Magic hands went and put me to sleep.”

[wildbluesorbit]

What a lovely morning it is on this wonderful Wagner Wednesday🌼

[sacredthefran]

Imagine Danny eating you out for the first time, he’s nervous as hell and then he hears a quiet little moan escape your mouth. Looking up at you the gears in Danny’s head start to turn. His nose is hitting you clit just right, Danny gives you a tiny smirk as he notices your hips starting to move, trying to gain some sort of friction.

“Don’t worry baby. I’ll get you there.”

Summary: You finally talk to Jake about something that has been on your mind for a while. It takes a turn for the best.

Part 2

The tour had just started back up for the guys. You had been to a few shows when you could get away from work. You still made sure to call Jake, your boyfriend, before every show. You knew he knew that you loved your job, but you knew deep down it hurt him that you weren’t at more shows. He would never tell you that though. 

Finally you had been able to take a few weeks off of work. You decided instead of telling Jake that you would be able to tour with them for a bit, that you would surprise him. He had been wanting you to travel with them for a while now. You knew he would be thrilled and he did love surprises. 

You went straight home from work and booked your plane ticket. You got up early and packed your bags. You packed enough for at least two weeks. Jake had called first thing that morning and you could barely contain your excitement. You had called Josh right after and told him of your plan and of course he was delighted to sneak away and pick you up from the airport. 

A couple of hours later and you were on your flight. Once you landed you called Josh and he let you know that he was right outside. You grabbed your bags and headed out. You saw Josh patiently waiting right outside like he said he was. 

“ Y/N!! I can’t believe you’re here! Jake is going to be so happy. Everyone is going to be thrilled to see you, I know I am.” Josh said as he gave you a bear hug and put your bags into his car. 

“I know, I honestly can’t believe that I kept it from him this long.”

It was a short drive from the airport to the hotel that they were staying at. Josh helped you bring your bags up to Jake’s room. 

“The other guys are at soundcheck before the show tonight, I told them I had a little errand to run. So we have to head back over there after you get changed. I’ll be waiting in my room, just call me when you’re ready.” Josh said.

You quickly showered and changed into a more concert appropriate outfit. You swiftly did your hair and makeup. After about an hour you were ready, so you called Josh to let him know. You met him outside of his door and walked down to his car. The drive from the hotel to the concert venue was only about 15 minutes. You were oddly nervous. You had been to plenty of shows. It had only been about a month since you had seen Jake and you had been together for almost two years now. There was no reason to be nervous. 

You arrived a lot quicker than you thought. Josh helped sneak you in undetected from the other guys through the back. They were busy with soundcheck so it wasn’t too hard for them to not notice you. Josh got you settled into Jake’s dressing room.

“Okay now that you’re all settled I am going to head out there, it should be over in about an hour, and then surprise time!”

“Thank you so much for this Josh, I’ll be waiting here!”

“Of course, I’ll see you in just a bit then!”

You patiently waited in Jake’s dressing room, it felt like time was dragging by. You felt your phone vibrate, it was Jake. 

“Doing soundcheck now, I’ll call you in about an hour, hope that you’re having a good day! Miss you “ - Jake

Little did he know you were only backstage and he thought you were hours away. Finally you heard the music stop and people chattering outside of the dressing room door. Your nerves riled up again and you suddenly couldn’t decide what you should do. Should you stand right in front of the door so that you were the first thing he saw? Should you sit on the couch? 

Suddenly the door flung open and you were out of time. You decided that standing in the middle of the room would have to do. Jake walked in and immediately lit up. He ran over to you, scooping you up in his arms.

 “You’re here! How are you here?”

 “I finally got some time off of work, I thought it was a great opportunity to surprise you!” “Wait.. how much time?” 

“Actually, baby that’s the even better part, they gave me three weeks. So I can tour with you for a bit now!” 

“This is the best news ever, I cannot believe that you are actually here.” 

You spent the time in between the show catching up and you eventually went and saw the rest of the guys. Sam and Danny were thrilled you were there. Danny picked you up and spun you around. You had really bonded with them all over the past couple of years, but Danny especially. 

You had a few drinks and caught up with everyone. Eventually they got the five minute call and they had to head to the stage. You were thrilled to see them play. You made your way to the side of the stage. The curtain dropped and it was like you were the only one in the world. Jake played his heart out and so did the other guys. 

You noticed throughout the night that Danny and Jake had some undeniable chemistry on stage. They had always had some chemistry on and off stage. It was something that you picked up on a few years ago, you couldn’t deny that with every time you saw them together it got stronger. You noticed the little winks and smirks they threw at each other on stage. Off of stage though, there was something in their body language. You thought that others would eventually pick up on this earlier on, but they never did. You were sure that you were the only one who could feel whatever this was between them. 

After the show the boys ran off of the stage, out of breath and covered in sweat. They looked glorious. They each ran off to their dressing rooms and showered and changed. You followed Jake back to his room. You watched him shower and change and he ran over to you. He immediately sat down pulling you on top of him. He grazed his soft tender lips over yours. He looked into your eyes, just holding you there. You didn’t realize it, but you were both holding your breath. It was like you were the only people on earth, the only sounds were your hearts beating. He eventually pulled you into a deep kiss. Like he was starved of you. You stayed like that for what felt like forever. Your tongues were exploring each other like it was the first time. 

You were finally pulled from your trance whenever Sam began pounding on the door, finally swinging it open, “Guys there will be plenty of time for that mushy stuff later, let’s get to the bar, we all have some catching up to do!” “Okay okay we're coming.” 

You peeled yourself from Jake’s lap, pulling a groan from him. You both got yourselves situated and got ready to head out. Josh and Sam were already in the car waiting. You walked out of the room to Danny waiting on you and Jake. 

“I was wondering if you guys were even coming, let's go, the guys are waiting in the car for us.” Danny said as he looked you both up and down.

You and Jake made your way to the car finally and with Danny right alongside Jake.

You spent the entire night catching up, dancing and singing the night away. You had missed this so much and you were so happy to be together with them all again. They had a few days in between shows so you had time to explore the city you were in and spend some much needed quality time with Jake. You ended up spending most of your time rolling around in the sheets together. 

It was time to head to the next city, it was a close enough ride that the boys chose to take the tour bus instead of flying. You and Jake couldn’t keep your hands off of each other. You noticed if you weren’t with Jake, Danny was. 

This didn't bother you, in fact it only made your mind wander to incredibly inappropriate corners. You couldn’t help but think there really was something there that neither of them had the nerve to explore or ever bring up. You continued to let your mind wander to these inappropriate places at the most inappropriate times. 

One particular night you were on the bus, about to make a stop for the night and your mind was running what felt like a million miles a minute. “Y/N… Y/N? Helloooo?” you finally heard a voice calling. “What, what sorry” you croaked out, being pulled from your daze. “What’s got you in such deep thought?” you finally realized that it was Sam speaking to you. 

“Oh nothing nothing, sorry I'm listening now.”

 “We were just saying there's a few bars in a few miles that look good.”

 “Okay! That sounds great, I'm down.”

 Jake knew you better than that and knew that something was on your mind. He shot you a weird look while you were looking at Sam showing you the bars you were about to stop at. 

You made it to the bar, all hopping off of the bus in high spirits. Definitely needing a break from the bus and some room to move around. Josh ordered everyone drinks and you all were sharing stories and laughing. 

After a few rounds Jake pulled you to the side, “So what was that about earlier?” “What are you talking about?” you played dumb. “You know what i’m talking about, you were in your own little world of deep thought, tell me what about?” “You just waited until you got a few drinks in me didn’t you” “Of course I did, it’s much easier to pull things out of you that way.” “Fine I’ll tell you, let’s go back to the bus.” He gave you a concerned look. “No no nothing is wrong, just something we should talk about in private that’s all.” 

As you grabbed his hand and led him away to the bus you noticed Danny catching both your and Jake’s attention. You watched as Jake sent him a small smirk, which Danny returned, you just knew that you weren’t making this up. 

The both of you hopped on the bus and sat down in his bunk, “Okay out with it, you’ve got me so nervous.” 

“I told you it was nothing to be nervous about, baby.”

 “Fine, come on then.” 

“Okay, so I’ve noticed a little something, I have for a while now, and before I say this I would like to put it out there that we’ve been together for a while now, and I feel like we’re comfortable enough to share absolutely anything with the other and there’s no judgment, and I love you no matter what.” 

He just nodded his head, you could see the panic in his eyes. 

“So anyways, I think that you and Danny have a little bit of chemistry, well more than a little bit, a lot actually. I thought that it was just maybe physical attraction at first, but now after spending more time with all of us together, I’m thinking that there’s some emotions involved.” “That’s what you were in such deep thought about earlier?” You nodded slowly, you were having trouble reading his emotions.

 “So what exactly were you thinking about?” he slid his hand up your thigh. 

“Oh so I am right aren’t I,” you said with a smirk. 

“Yeah yeah maybe, I don’t know.” he whispered.

 “You want to know exactly what I was picturing because it does turn you on doesn’t it? You have these thoughts don’t you?”

 He just looked at you like he was scared to answer honestly, but you knew the answer, you just wanted to hear him say it. “Come on Jakey, use your words for me, tell me what you want.” This must have sparked something inside of him, because his eyes filled with lust and he wrapped you around his waist.

 His lips met yours with a deep passion. He was undressing you before you could even take a breath. You began clawing at each other, practically ripping each other’s clothes off. You were overwhelmed with the feeling of him. Your mind was clouded with the sounds of his ragged breathing. He was leaving a trail of wet sloppy marks down your body, from your neck to your thighs. He was nipping at your most sensitive spots making the sting feel delightful. You knew there would be dark purple marks up and down your body tomorrow to remind you of what was to come. 

Jake took so much pleasure in pleasing you. He made his way to your wet center. He licked a few stripes up your cunt. 

He stopped and looked at you.”So, care to enlighten me now on these inappropriate thoughts anytime soon?”

 “Oh so eager to hear about these thoughts are we?” you cooed. 

“Only if you want,” he said as he began lapping away at you. 

He slowly slid a calloused finger into you. You could tell that he was excited that you mentioned it, but still nervous and wasn’t sure how to go about it, he definitely needed you to guide him along through it. You decided it was time to stop torturing him. “Well b-baby, at first it was just small thoughts, nothing terribly inappropriate I just pictured you and D-Danny kissing, exploring each other a bit, n-nipping and licking at the sensitive skin on your necks..” you were struggling to get the words out as he was pulling you closer and closer to your edge. You could tell he was enjoying the descriptives though, he was groaning passionately into you. 

“You like that baby? You like hearing about you and Danny fooling around?” He took just a moment to catch his breath and look you in the eyes, more full of lust and hunger now than you had ever seen them, his face covered in your slick. “Don’t start holding out on me now love, I want more.” He dove right back into you, sucking at your sensitive clit and slamming now two fingers into you. 

He was pulling lewd curses and moans from your throat. “F-Fuck Jake, fuckfuckfuck, I’m cumming, god don’t stop.” “That’s it baby, make a mess of my face and fingers.” You tugged at his hair as he worked you through your intense orgasm, he never slowed his unforgiving pace. 

When you finally managed to pull your eyes open and come back down to earth Jake was eye level with you now. His face was soaked and he was wearing a toothy grin. He lowered his lips to yours. He tasted like a mixture of you and some dark liquor. “Hm don’t you taste sweet.” “Oh baby that is all you.” You continued to clean his face off, licking up and down his cheeks, swiftly moving down to his neck. He tasted delightful. You made sure not to miss a drop. 

You laid him down onto his back, trading places with him. You bit softly at his nipples causing him to whine just a little, you then made your way down his stomach leaving bites and purple marks in a trail. You made your way to his cock and it was so hard that it almost looked painful, he was a leaking mess and you loved that you could do that to him. You lazily wrapped your hand around him, slowly jerking him. His eyes met yours and he knew you were trying to tease him. “P-Please baby, I need you, I need you to move faster, harder, something, anything.” You moved your hand a bit faster while you lowered your lips to his leaking cock. You licked his shaft from tip to base, getting it nice and wet. You teased at his sensitive spot under his head and licked his slit. He moaned and bucked his hips up at you. 

You had him completely in your control and he knew it. You slammed his cock down your throat. You could barely hear his moans over your own slurping and gagging. Tears began streaming down your face. He began uncontrollably fucking into your throat. He had one hand on the back of your head tightly gripping your hair into a makeshift ponytail and pushing you further down onto him and the other hand grasping the sweat and slick covered sheets below him. 

He slowly pulled you off of his cock, “I want you to tell me more of these thoughts you’ve been having, baby please?” You could tell he was desperate for the details from your mind. “Since you asked so nicely baby, I suppose I could indulge a bit.” You kissed up and down his thighs as you continued to jerk his cock, which was throbbing at this point. 

You spoke in between licks, “I imagine him on top of you, undressing each other, your hands exploring what’s underneath, grabbing at your skin. He starts kissing down your stomach, licking and biting. He will pull down your pants to find you hard and leaking for him. He takes you into his mouth, slowly so that he can savor your taste. Then maybe something like this..” His eyes were wide and mouth agape, he was stunned in the best way, he was hanging onto every word you said, every movement that you made, like his life depended on it. You moved to a spot that you had never been before, but you had thought of so many times. You dipped slowly between his cheeks, barely spreading them, glancing up at him to be sure that this was okay, he gave you a slow, but sure nod. You made your way to his hole, kitten licking at first to get him used to the new feeling. After a few moments you started to devour him, he tasted so sweet. You couldn’t get enough of him. He was pouring moans from his throat that were angelic, you had never heard this side of him before, and you loved it.

 “I-I want you in-inside, please, I need it baby. I need to feel you inside o-of me.” He hardly got the words out. He was a gasping, whining mess. You looked up at him and inched your way back up to his lips, pulling his lips to yours.

 “You taste that Jakey, that’s you. You taste so sweet, I could lap you up for hours.” You said as you put your fingers to his lips, slowly inching them inside. You swirled them around his tongue to make sure they were nice and wet. You gave him one more glance and a smirk before going back down onto him. 

You held eye contact as you let a strand of your spit land on his hole. You swirled it around along with his liquid from his mouth already on your fingers. You inched your first finger into his hole. In and out slowly, making sure he was comfortable. 

“Yes, ohfuck yes baby just like that, deeper, more, anything please.” He whined out to you. You started to pick up your pace. You took his weeping cock into your mouth as he was begging and pleading for more. His cock was throbbing at the back of your throat. You couldn’t hear a thing over his moaning and groaning. This was only making you go harder and deeper.

 “Yeah baby, you want Danny inside of you like this? With his cock thrusting deep inside of you, making you moan and squirm just like I am right now?” He only groaned and nodded in response. You slowed down. “W-Why did you slow down, p-please don’t s-stop.” 

“Use your words then baby, is that what you want?”

 “Y-Yes I do I do.” he cried out. 

“What do you want?”

 “I want Danny’s cock inside of me please, I need it.” he was screaming, you almost couldn’t make out what he had said.

“Oh yeah baby you need him inside of you just like this, filling you up, making a mess of you.” You knew he was so close, he was tightening around your fingers and throbbing.

 “Can I p-please cum, I want to cum for you baby.”  Jake begged you.

“Yes baby cum for me, make a mess just like you want to for Danny, be a good boy for me just like you would be for him.” Your words are all that it took. He exploded all over you, his euphoria sent him into another universe. He was screaming, moaning, and shaking uncontrollably. You made out a few of the words, the main ones being “y/n and Danny”. He pleaded both of your names over and over. As he came down from his high he watched as you licked his cum from his stomach and off of each finger. You raised up to kiss him. 

“That was amazing, thank you, fuck thank you.” You blushed as he praised you. You were thrilled that you finally brought this up. This opened up a whole new side of him that you couldn’t wait to see.

If Jake had not been screaming for you and Danny, you would have heard the bus door open. You would have known that the person who opened it was Danny, and that he stayed for the show.

illicit affairs

a/n: ok, so I actually wrote something, i did not mean to take it that far, but I hope you enjoy anyway 🖤

warnings: none, aside from asshole Danny lmao

based on illicit affairs by taylor swift

You and Danny were both in relationships that weren’t bad exactly, but neither of you is super happy. You met through a mutual friend at a party and you immediately hit if off. You both realized pretty quickly it’s been a long time since you’ve felt a connection like this with anyone, let alone your own partner. You didn’t mean to exchange texts outside of the group chat of your friends you’d both been added to. You didn’t plan to start talking everyday. You’d didn’t mean to slowly start seeing each other one on one. It all just kind of happened. This goes on for months and For whatever reason, you both hadn’t left your significant other. However, the sneaking around between each other’s places when you could, meeting at places well outside of Nashville so you wouldn’t see anyone you knew, it was all getting old.

One day, he was at your place . His girlfriend was out of town and as far as your boyfriend knew, you were spending the weekend with family. You were in the bathroom, contemplating how you’d gotten here while staring at a perfume bottle on the counter. It was the one you had to hide regularly. It was Danny’s favorite, but your boyfriend hated it. You’d bought it as a weird sort of anniversary gift once you realized you’d been doing this for a year. You always hid it though and never dared put it on when you knew your boyfriend would be around soon because the smell was distinct and it lingered. As you put it back in the shelf where you kept it, out of sight, you realized how stupid this whole thing had gotten. You both loved each other and clearly didn’t want to stop seeing each other. You’d become so indifferent about your boyfriend and if we’re being honest, you guys fucked maybe once a month at best at this point. You had no idea what you guys were doing anymore.

“Danny, we have to talk”

“Yeah, babe?”

“What the hell are we doing”

“What do you mean?”

You rolled your eyes. “You know exactly what I mean. Why are we still with other people? I’m so sick of us having to sneak around just to be sort of happy. Wouldn’t it be so much better if we could just be with each other, like actually be with each other?”

Danny looked at you, considering the thought he’d have to leave your place in the middle of the night so no one would see.

“I’m doing it” you finally said after a moment. “I’m ending things with him, I can’t keep doing this.” You looked at Danny expectantly, hoping (perhaps foolishly) he’d say the same. After what felt like ages of you both staring at each other you had to break the silence.

“Well?”

“I don’t know,” he sighed after a minute.

“This is a fucking joke, right? Please tell me you’re not serious.”

“It’s a lot to consider, is all”

“Oh my god, what the hell does that mean? After everything we’ve been through, you don’t know? You don’t fucking know? What was the last year then, Danny?”

“You’re right,” he said finally. “It is stupid. I love you so much and I’m certainly not as happy with her as I am with you. We’ve just been together since i moved to Nashville, I can’t imagine anything else”

You gave him a look.

“You know what I mean”

“Yeah, doesn’t hurt any less to hear though”

“Sorry. I’ll do it though, you’re right, clearly neither of us was that happy in our relationships when we met each other”

“So…we’re doing it?”

“Yeah, I guess we are,” he smiled at you and grabbed your hand. You both agreed that after you “got home” from visiting family and his girlfriend got back, you’d call it off with them. You also decided to wait a bit to make things public though. With his band finally starting to take off, the last thing he needed was cheating allegations.

You sat at your apartment that night after Danny left, feeling extremely nervous about breaking it off with you boyfriend, but also feeling lighter over the fact you and Danny had finally agreed to fully commit to each other. You realized it had been all you’d wanted since shortly after you both met, and you were so glad you were finally on the same page.

✨1 week later✨

You hadn’t seen Danny since that night at your apartment, and you couldn’t wait to finally see him again tonight. It had been a rough week - even if you didn’t want to be with your boyfriend anymore, breaking up certainly wasn’t easy. Add to that that work had been kicking your ass, and that your family decided this was also the week for drama, you really needed a break. Knowing that you guys could finally be a couple without sneaking around was the light at the end of the tunnel.

The feeling didn’t last though. When you arrived at Danny’s apartment, something immediately felt off and you couldn’t place it at first. You then realized that her stuff was still spread throughout the house and you prayed it was just because she hadn’t gotten a chance to clear all her stuff out. The fact that there was a purse and shoes in the front hall made you think that wasn’t the case though.

“Hey you,” he smiled as you walked inside. You accepted his kiss when he greeted you, but you were distracted.

“So, are we going to discuss that?” You said, pulling away and pointing at all of her belongings in the hall.

“Uh, yeah, about that,” he anxiously ran his hand through his hair.

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me, Danny,” You turned on your heel to leave, seeing absolute red.

“I’m sorry, I just…I couldn’t do it, not this week. I was all set to, but her mom’s been sick and she really took a turn for the worse the day I saw you last. They don’t think she has much time left. I don’t want to be with her anymore, but I couldn’t just do that to her then, you know?”

“So how long are you going to keep this up then? If her mom just keeps getting sicker, you can’t leave. What about when her mom dies, then what? You won’t be able to leave her when she gets that news, and then you certainly can’t leave while she’s grieving! I guess we’ll just keep doing what we’re doing and you can just keep cheating on her.”

“Baby, that’s not fair - “

“Stop, you don’t get to call me baby anymore. I held up my end of the deal, can you do the fucking same?”

“It’s not that easy, trust me, I wish it were!”

“Oh, bullshit. Her sick mom wasn’t an issue a week ago. You don’t just get to weasel your way into my life and promise me this beautiful life together just to keep taking it away from me. I told you, being with you is the best thing to happen to me in years, I…I can’t describe it. It’s like you showed me colors I can’t see when I’m with anyone else, and the way I connect with you? It’s like we have this language I can’t speak with anyone else. Danny, it’s so, so good when it’s good, but it’s fucking cruel of you to dangle that in front of me.”

You both stared at each other, neither of you sure what to say next.

“I’m leaving, I don’t think there’s anything else to say.”

“No wait,” he called as you grabbed the door handle. You knew you shouldn’t, but you dropped the knob and turned to hear him out. What was it about this man you couldn’t say no to?

“You’re right, I’m sorry. It’s not fair to you, and i just need to rip the bandaid off. She’s up with her family right now, but she’ll be home in a couple days. I’ll do it then. I wanna be with you, I promise. I don’t wanna fuck this up.”

Part of you said to run. What proof did you have he’d actually do it this time? None. However, that naive part of you was hopeful that maybe, maybe, he meant it this time. After considering it for a second you took a step towards him.

“Okay. I’ll let it go this time, but the next time I see you, you better have ended it”

“Promise. In fact, I pinkie promise.” You laughed despite yourself and wrapped your pinkie around his. Before you knew it, you were both laughing and he pulled you in for a kiss. You kept letting it deepen, even though you knew you shouldn’t. A few minutes later, he’d pulled you onto his lap, his hands moving under your tshirt. You didn’t resist at all when he moved you to his bedroom, their bedroom. As he laid you down in the bed, you couldn’t stop your mind from racing and thinking about the fact you knew he wouldn’t be anymore available this time next week than he was now. You just knew. You also knew you’d be right back here, or he’d be at your place. No matter what, you couldn’t quit him and you’d let him ruin you a million times over.
