A/N. This is just a sweet little oneshot that popped into my head while I was trying to write a chaptered Mac/Danny fic I'm working on. Hope you like it.
Stella rushed through the lab; stopping short when she saw Danny.
"Danny!" The man in question turned to see Stella looking worried.
"Something wrong?"
"Have you heard from Mac? He's three hours late and he's not picking up his phone." Danny's heart leapt into his throat. This was his fault.
"Actually yeah," Danny covered quickly. "He called a while ago. Said he's not feeling well, but he'll try to make it this afternoon." Smiling in relief, Stella shook her head.
"Just like Mac," She sighed. "Won't even take a full day to take care of himself."
"I'll swing by his place at lunch; make sure he's fit to come in." Stella smiled again; clearly feeling reassured.
"Thanks Danny."
(*~*~*)
Danny fumbled with the key; pushing the door open with his entire body. He couldn't believe he'd been this stupid.
He was almost running by the time he got to the bedroom; breathing a deep sigh at the sight before him.
Mac. Stretched out on the bed. Chained to the bedpost and sleeping peacefully.
With a soft smile on his lips, Danny crossed the room and sat on the bed. Gently, he shook Mac awake.
"Mac," He whispered. "It's time to wake up." Mac's eyes fluttered open and a serene smile graced his lips when he saw Danny.
"Master?" His voice was thick with sleep, and Danny couldn't hold back a smile.
"No, Mac, you overslept. It's already noon." Danny reached into the bedside table for the key and slowly undid Mac's restraints.
"I'm sorry I left you like this," Danny sighed heavily. "I can't believe I forgot about you." When Mac's arms were free, he used them to pull Danny into a long, gentle kiss.
"S'ok," Mac mumbled; still deep in lethargy, but slowly rising from his sub mindset. "I miss anything?"
"No," Danny smiled. "I covered for you with Stella; she thinks your ill." Pushing himself into a sitting position, Mac ran a hand through his hair.
"I'm fine," He replied; a little more alertness in his tone.
"Good. So how about I take you to lunch, and then we can get back to work." Mac nodded, pulling Danny into another kiss. The firmness of this kiss notified Danny of Mac's shift back to his usual self. Pulling back, Danny smiled brightly.
"Love ya Mac."
"Love you too, Ma-Danny." Danny laughed lightly at the slip; pressing his lips to Mac's again.
THE END
A/N. This is the first time I've used the term 'master' in a D/s fic. I'm not sure how well I like it yet. Hope you enjoyed it nonetheless.
