8AN: Thanks do much for the reviews I got. And thanks to anyone else who bother reading this. :) Sorry if its kind of short. This was my first DP fanfic and I haven't written any type of fanfic in a while so really thanks for the R&R!
Danny's POV
"Will you ever give up?" I asked the Box Ghost while shooting out a ray.
"THE BOX GHOST SHALL NEVER GIVE UP AS LONG AS HE HAS HIS SQUARE AND RECTANGULAR BOXES OF DOOM!"
"Dude," I pulled out the Fenton Thermos, "Give it up already." I aimed the thermos and the blue beam shot out.
"BEWARE!" The Box Ghost yelled as he got sucked in. I closed the thermos tightly.
"Really," I said throwing up the thermos in the air and catching it. "Do you always have to escape in the middle of the night." I put the thermos away and headed home. Even though it sucks being woken up in the middle of the night, especially for only the Box Ghost, it was a nice time to fly. It was a perfect cool summer night. The stars were shinning a little brighter and the moon hung high in the cloudless sky.
As I turned about to pass Amity Park(the actual park), I noticed a light flicker from afar. "What is that?" I decided I should check it out. It was a little strange after all for someone to be out right now. Well unless your me and you have ghosts to deal with.
"Is that a lantern?" It looked like it in the shadows. I turned intangible just in case somebody was awake. I didn't want to scare anyone even though Tucker and Sam claim I'm not even one bit scary.
I landed and transformed back to Fenton. I realized where I was, 'It's the hill Sam and I always go to.' I thought. As I got closer I realized somebody was leaning on the other side of the tree. 'Whats that-wait is somebody crying?' I walk to the other side. 'Sam?'
Sam's POV
I hate crying with a passion, but no matter how much I wanted to stop I couldn't. I was drowning in my own overflow of emotions. And I hated it. I didn't even notice that it got cooler around me.
Suddenly I felt someone's arms around me. I looked up quickly and saw it was Danny.
"It's okay, Sammy." He gently pushed my into his chest and hugged me tighter. I felt him rest his head on mine. At first I wanted nothing but to get away from him, but being there in his arms, it felt so right and warm...and just, I don't know. It felt good. I hugged him tighter. After a while once I stopped crying, we just stayed there for awhile. Danny leaning against the tree with me in his arms. He grabbed another blanket and laid it over us. A shooting star shot across the sky. In any other day I would have barfed at the scenario I was in, but today I needed this.
I felt something I hadn't felt in a while. Happiness? Calm? No, it wasn't that. I thought about it and then it hit me.
Loved.
I felt loved. The feeling I hadn't felt since before my parents started fighting and since my grandma passed away.
"Sam?"
"Yeah Danny."
"I'm sorry."
I looked up at him not freeing myself from his embrace. Our faces were just inches apart. "For what?"
"For lying to you. You looked gorgeous." I smiled.
"So... I don't anymore."
"Wait I didn't say it like that." he said with his recognizable clueless face. My smile grew wider.
"You said looked." He relaxed a bit probably thinking he did something else wrong. Like he could ever do anything wrong remotely as much as he does right.
"You always notice my mistakes, Sammy." I sent him a glare for calling me Sammy. He chuckled in response.
Danny's POV
I didn't want the night to end. I wanted to stay just where I was, leaning against a tree with Sam in my arms as we gazed at the stars. I had to do something though and this was the perfect time to do it.
"Sam?"
"Yeah Danny."
"I'm sorry." She moved her head and looked at me a little confused.
"For what?"
"For lying to you." I felt a smile tug it's way up. "You looked gorgeous." I was just to scared to admit it because I thought you'd find out I'm crushing on you, I thought.
She smiled in response and said, "So... I don't anymore."
I looked down on her confused as ever. "Wait I didn't say it like that."
I noticed a mischievous glimmer in her amethyst eyes. "You said looked."
I relaxed thinking I did something else wrong knowing I always find a way to screw things up. "You always notice my mistakes, Sammy." She glared at me. I chuckled, she's never going to let anyone get away with calling her Sammy.
I looked at her and even though I was nervous about it, I knew what I had to finally do. I reached out and gently grabbed her face bringing it closer towards mine.
"I lied again, Sam."
Sam's POV
Danny looked down at me nervously but something changed in his icy blue eyes. They filled with determination. He reached for my face bringing me closer to him. I froze.
"I lied again, Sam." He started to slowly lean down and rested his head against my forehead.
"You always look gorgeous." He quickly closed the gap and I exploded inside. My heart swelled up with emotions. 'He likes me! Danny actually likes me!' I thought. He nibbled my lip slightly as we separated. He once again leaned on my forehead. "Don't ever cry again."
"I won't. I don't have a reason to anymore." And it was true. I let everything out, and I felt, I felt at peace. 'Wow, I thought, that doesn't sound like me at all.' I snuggled into his chest, sleepness suddenly compelling me.
"You want me to fly you home?"
"No thanks, I might as well camp out." He kissed the top of my head and got comfortable.
"Okay then." We stayed like that the rest of the night. I went to sleep under the stars.
**Tada! Hoped you guys liked it. I might write a full on DP story taking place after PP but I haven't decided. Let me know if you would be interested if I did-Cristina
