"You know you have a lot of music, right?" Ethan smirked, flicking through the piles of CDs in Dannys glove compartment.
"Music is life, ok?" Danny smiled, facing front, hands on the steering wheel of his SUV. He was giving Ethan a lift home from school while his bike was in the shop. "There's a song for pretty much every situation. Whether you're celebrating, partying, even when you're crying you can curl up into the foetus position and listen to some Cher."
Ethan laughed. "Cher? Really?"
"It was an example! But she is timeless."
"And who the hell is Imagine Dragons?"
"Oh come on Ethan do you live under a rock?"
"The Vamps? Sleeping with Sirens? They all sound like horror movies. Ethan scrunched his face up, like a kid who didn't want to eat his vegetables. "How do you even say this? Da-…Dot-…"
"It's Daughtry you idiot." Danny shook his head, a smile still stuck on his face. "I don't know if I should hit you or feel sorry for you."
"Whatever happened to AC DC? Or Bon Jovi?" Ethan sighed.
"I listen to them too" Danny moaned
Ethan could swear he was getting a little defensive.
"You know the saying pregnant women use 'No uterus, no opinion'?" Danny said, straight faced.
"Uh…Yeah?" Ethan replied, not really knowing where he was going with this… he was pretty sure neither of them had a uterus.
"Well the same thing goes for my music, either put in a CD or shut up"
Ethan popped open one of the albums and quickly put it in CD player. No use arguing with Danny seeing as he's the only thing between him and a 1 hour walk home.
Almost immediately, small digital words appeared on the CD player
Imagine Dragons, Track 8
Danny must've been listening to this earlier.
Moments later Ethan jumped in his seat as the sudden loud music replaced the silence of the car.
I'm coming home to you,
Every night,
Every night,
Every night,
Every night,
"Good choice!" Danny shouted over the music to Ethan, who looked as if he was in physical pain.
I'm the colourless sunrise ,
"That's never good enoooough!" Danny sang along
I'm the wind that's in you're hair,
That ruffles you up,
Danny leaned towards Ethan and began to exaggeratedly mouth the words, all the while looking back and forth between him and the road, and swaying his head to the song.
If you can find a reason
If you can let me know
I won't blame you
I'll just turn and go
Ethan smiled, his boyfriend really loved music, and the song wasn't half bad after all.
"I'm coming hoooome to yooooouuuu!" Danny screamed, sending Ethan into a fit of laughter.
Every night
Every night
Every night
Coming home to you
Every night
Every night
Every night
Danny slowly stopped smiling as he stared into Ethans eyes. Big and brown.
"My mind is made up." He kept singing, slower, and this time it felt like it had more meaning. "Nothing can change it."
Ethan stopped laughing and saw Danny was staring. Singing softer than before.
"I'm coming home to you, Every night, every night…"
Both boys gazed at each other, getting closer, they could feel each others breath on their faces.
"…Every night." Danny whispered, attempting to close the space between them.
"Danny look out!" Ethan shouted suddenly, they had drifted into the wrong lane, and Danny swerved the car to the right.
He hit the brakes, both boys panting out of fear.
"Are you ok?" Danny quickly turned to Ethan.
"Yeah…" He replied breathing heavily "But you better get me home quick 'cause I think I need a change of pants."
Ethan stared blankly at him.
Danny burst out laughing for a good 5 minutes, tears forming in his eyes.
"Alright then." Danny chuckled, Starting the car up again. "New rule," He turned to Ethan. "No kissing unless we're stationery."
Both of them smiled and before they knew it they were pulling up outside Ethans apartment.
"Well." Ethan turned to Danny. "This is my stop."
As soon as he was facing him, the lacrosse player unbuckled his seat belt and pressed his lips hard against Ethans.
Ethan, taken by surprise, soon relaxed and kissed the boy back.
They stayed like this for what seemed like forever until they were almost lying across the seats, Ethan under Danny.
"Alright Stud." Ethan said pulling back from Dannys embrace. "Me and Aiden have an econ test tomorrow, and I wouldn't be surprised if Aiden's forgotten how to hold his pencil."
Danny smiled at that. "I thought we were just getting started." He said, sounding a little sad.
"Yeah, well right now your gear stick's beating you to it." Ethan laughed, shifting uncomfortably.
Danny moved off of him, giving him room to breathe.
"Sorry." He smiled, his cheeks turning pink.
"It's no problem." Ethan laughed "Believe me if Aiden had a hope of passing this test without me we would've at least made it to the back seat but…"
He moved forward and lightly kissed Danny on the lips.
"Rain check?" He mumbled.
"Definitely." Danny smiled.
Ethan smile back.
"I'll see you." Ethan said, getting out of the car.
Danny just watched, Ethan didn't want to leave as much as the goalie, he walked backwards from the car, keeping his eyes on Danny and Dannys on him. It was only when he reached the steps that he gave a small smile and wave before turning and walking inside. He would be lying if he said he didn't check Ethan out, as he walked up the stairs, but judging by the force pressing against Dannys jeans he'd say he deserved it.
