Hello! Welcome to my first multi chapter fic of TMP! I am SO excited to be here, and I hope you all enjoy this story.
Just one thing: I am new to the fandom and to the show so if I have ANY small details wrong please let me know! If you want to write faster, or you just want to say something (Be nice, please), leave me a review! All reviews make my day.
So, without further ado, I give you my story.
Summary: Mindy and Danny must deal with the aftermath of their hook-up in the plane, all while having to keep their coworkers in the dark about their new relationship. Mindy/Danny.
"I'm going to have to ask you to return to your seats now." The hostess said, trying to keep her voice as normal as possible.
Mindy and Danny broke apart, both embarrassed that they had forgotten that they were on a plane, and that everyone could see them going at it behind them.
"I, uh," Danny began, "Yeah."
He glanced at Mindy before making his way back to their seats. Mindy ran after him, so mortified that she couldn't even apologize to the hostess on the plane. As soon as she sat down though, she smacked Danny on the arm.
"You could have told me the whole plane could see us!" She hissed. Danny grabbed at where she smacked him, and his eyebrows shot up.
"I wasn't exactly thinking about that at the moment, you know!" He exclaimed in a low voice.
"What were you thinking, really?" She said. "'Let's just confuse Mindy', or something?"
"No! I just thought-" Danny said, beads of sweat beginning to form on his forehead. "I just thought that this was my best chance, with the turbulence and all."
"Turbulence? You decided to make a move on me because of the turbulence?" Mindy said. "This is so not how it was supposed to go."
"Wait, how what was supposed to go? Are you telling me you've thought about this before?" Danny said, turning to her, one side of his mouth quirked up.
"Well, yeah. Before Cliff and stuff, but-" Suddenly Mindy gasped. "Cliff! I forgot about Cliff! Thanks a lot Danny!"
"What did I do?"
"Now you've ruined me and Cliff!" Mindy said. "You kissed me, and now I have to date you!"
"I never said you had to! I just wanted you to know what was going on!"
"Oh come on," Mindy said, rolling her eyes. "Like I'm not going to date you? You have the puppy dog eyes, and that cute smile of yours. And, oh my god, I just said that out loud."
"You think I have a cute smile?" Danny said, and there it was. That cute smile Mindy was just talking about!
"That's your fault too! You made me say all this stuff!" Mindy said, crossing her arms over her chest. Her mouth was pointed downwards in a frown. "I'm really mad at you, you know?"
"So, what now?"
"You know, if this were my idea of a romantic comedy we wouldn't be on this plane, I wouldn't have just called Cliff my boyfriend in front of your little sister. Plus, you'd ask me out to dinner first and-"
"Fine. How about dinner when we get back?"
Mindy sighed. "Where at?"
"I don't know, you pick." Danny shrugged. He was smiling at her again, and God, she just couldn't take it.
"Some place nice. And you have to pick, it's like a rule. And you have to pay."
"Good. I'll take you out tomorrow night."
"Fine." Mindy said.
Though she could still feel a slight annoyance at Danny for making a move at the worst possible time, Mindy was on top of the world because of Danny. And it didn't have anything to do with the fact they were in a plane.
Her mind began to go through a million scenarios for what was going to happen when they get back. Her date was going to be perfect, and then he was going to buy her flowers, and stand outside of her window and sing to her. This was going to rock.
"I'm not standing outside of your window and singing to you." Danny said. Mindy looked over to him, to find him reading a magazine with his glasses on.
"How did you know I was thinking that?"
He looked up and smiled. "Because I know you."
"Oh. Right."
"Hey, Mindy." Someone was saying to her. "Mindy, wake up."
It took the woman a few moments to register that she had even been asleep. For it had been so peaceful that she couldn't even tell she had fallen into slumber. But, Mindy finally opened her eyes to see Danny smiling down at her. She lifted her head off of his shoulder, which was totally a cute moment, by the way.
"Oh my god, I drooled on your shirt." Mindy said, her eyes widening, and her brain coming up with a million excuses to make this situation better.
"You drooled on my pillow that night you stayed over too."
"I am a horrible person…" Mindy muttered, putting her head into her hands.
"No you're not." Danny said. "You drool all the time. I think I first noticed it when you saw me naked in that steam room at the gym."
Mindy instantly looked around to make sure that no one was listening in on them. But most of everyone was still asleep, or too in their own worlds to even notice.
"Shut up! Why did you wake me up anyways, to annoy me?" Mindy said.
"They said we'll be landing in a few minutes. Turn off your phone so you don't crash the plane."
"If it causes turbulence then it wouldn't be that bad…" Mindy muttered under her breath, but she began to search for her phone in the seat. Danny looked at her with a raised eye brow. "Shut up. That last night wasn't too bad and you know it."
"I never said it wasn't." Danny said. "Now, get ready because we're going to be landing soon."
Mindy smiled at Danny as he leaned back in his chair. She grabbed his hand this time, for once, because she could.
Danny smiled at her, but didn't say anything.
A feeling bubbled up inside of Mindy. It was different than what she had felt with anyone else. It wasn't love, because her and Danny had just started this thing, but something weird.
With other guys she always threw herself into them, and made them move quickly. How long had she known Danny now?
A long time, really.
Her knew her, the real her. The Mindy that wasn't trying to impress someone, and he might have just liked that Mindy.
God, this was weird. In a good way, of course.
"They are gonna be writing rom-com's about us, Danny." Mindy said.
"No, they're not." He replied.
