A/N This is my first FanFiction so please let me know what you think :) Constructive criticism is also welcome! Enjoy...
Sure. He'd changed for her. He wanted to express his 'love'. Wanted her to trust him. More than that, he wanted the others to trust him. Wanted him to trust him. Now she was standing there wearing spray-on pants and asking him to be exactly like he was before. She was flipping her hair and running her hands up and down her sides, grinning at him like this was just what he wanted. To be fair, that's just the impression he had intended to give her, but she wasn't supposed to act on it.
Danny chose Sandy for a reason. She was safe. So polite and modest and naïve. She would be pleased, and a little embarrassed, if he even held her hand. She was content with the way things were over the summer and certainly didn't expect anything from him. He was supposed to be seen to be pushing her, seen to be wanting her, and she was meant to pull away, always springing back because her love was eternal. Now she wasn't pulling away. She was coming right towards him and he had nothing to do but put his arms around her, looking over her shoulder at the real love of his life. Not that he noticed, of course. He was too distracted by Rizzo's tongue.
Danny thought there had been moments. When Kenickie asked him to be his lieutenant and thunder road, then they hugged, that was a moment. He could almost still feel the electricity beneath his skin from the touch. He thought he had seen something then, in Kenickie's eyes. He thought he had seen his feelings mirrored back. Then they had split apart, combing their hair and trying to act cool, and neither one of them had mentioned it since.
Now, feeling hopeless and dejected, Danny untangled himself from Sandy and, with one last glance at Kenickie, left the crowded lawn and moved out towards the carpark. His head was spinning, trying to figure it all out. What if people had noticed the way that he had shied away from Sandy? Could she have noticed, or the other T-Birds? What if he had noticed? But no, he hadn't been looking.
It had taken Danny far to long to come to terms with his feeling for Kenickie, to see them for what they were, and it had left him with very little confidence in his future. Where was he to go from here? What do people do when they're in love with people that don't, and can never, love them back? He stopped by Kenickie's car, which the gang had named 'Greased Lightning', and slumped against the bonnet. It wasn't until he had stopped walking, silent but for his thoughts, that he heard familiar footsteps behind him.
To be continued... Please review and tell me if it's any good and, more importantly, if it's worth continuing. Thanks!
