Boyfriend's Makes The Best Pillows

Something was wrong.

That much one Danny Fenton, current superhero of Amity Park and the world, knew…because when he pulled up to his girlfriend's house to find her not waiting for him outside the door, he had no choice but to drive to school alone.

Danny's hands gripped the steering wheel tight. As much as he loved his girlfriend….her parents weren't exactly friendly with him. Sure he'd saved the world only about a hundred times…and sure he'd revealed to the world his secret…but that was almost two years ago! He at least had hoped to be on their good side…but NOOOO…even now, after almost being with Sam for two years equally, he wasn't even allowed to go in and see what was wrong with her…

Danny's old truck had been passed down to him from his father and it heaved out a sigh as it shut off after Danny had pulled into the junior parking lot. The poor rusty blue pickup was an 87 model but it still purred like a new born kitten so no way was Daniel Fenton about to give up "his baby" for a new car.

He flicked his hand to Tucker in a "guy wave", who'd pulled up next to him. Upon not seeing the third member of their close knit group, Tucker pulled out his phone and texted said member. Judging by Danny's facial features and body posture, the dark-haired teen had failed in seeing what was wrong with his girlfriend.

Tucker's PDA went off, signaling he had a message. Quickly glancing at it, he sighed.

"Sam's at home sick. She asks that we get her homework for her…that's all she put."

Danny sighed in annoyance.

"Great…another boring day…"

Tucker threw his arm around his best friend's shoulders.

"Cheer up dude. It'll go by faster than you can say meat lover's pizza…"

"Easy for you to say…your girlfriend is here…"

"Tucker!"

As if on cue, Tucker's girlfriend of a year, five months and counting came bounding up to the two boys. With wild crimson red hair and foggy grey eyes, sophomore Sarah Nicolette King was the smartest kid in her class. Today, her hair was pulled into a high ponytail with some of her bangs falling over her right eye. She skid to a stop next to her boyfriend and pecked him on the cheek before turning to Danny with a sympathetic smile.

"Sam text me…sorry D…" She stated.

Danny ran a hand through his hair as he was known to do when he couldn't think of the right words to say.

"It's kewl Nicky…" Danny said, using her nickname.

"Well I guess we better head in…" Sarah said, jumping in between the two boys and ushered them into the school.

The hours continued to torture Danny as he headed to football practice for the last two hours of school. How he had managed to make the team was BEYOND him.

His number one enemy for years, Dash Baxter, had some up to him back after he'd revealed his secret, asking if he would like to join the team as quarterback. Apparently, watching him as Danny Phantom had paid off…

Shockingly, Danny had said yes….until the head honchos of the state football association heard about it. Danny had to then sign a contract stating that as long as he played as an eligible Casper High team member, he could not use his powers while playing. Danny signed right away and ever since then, his parents would sit in the front row, along with the guys in white, ghost detectors in hand. Of course, when you're still learning to control your powers, extra practices were used to make sure when it really counted and accidental power problems wouldn't happen.

Danny warmed up his throwing arm with Micheal, a receiver and fellow junior who hadn't picked on Danny back in freshman year before jogging over to actually practice. Hopefully, practice would fly as school had…

Danny actually felt frustrated. The entire day, his mind had been on Sam and how she was doing. Throwing his bag into the passenger seat and waving to Tucker and Sarah, he slowly pulled out of the school junior parking lot, and headed down the road home. Pulling into his parking spot, he noticed his parents were outside and seemed to be working on the RV.

"I'm heading to give Sam her homework." Danny called as he headed down the sidewalk.

"Be home soon sweetie!" Maddie called to her son who waved without looking back.

Walking the mere two blocks, he adjusted the backpack on his shoulder and rang the Manson's doorbell.

A few seconds later, the door opened to reveal the two people Danny least expected to see…

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Manson…" Danny awkwardly said with a smile.

Pamela Manson looked her daughter's boyfriend up and down, as if taking in his appearance while her husband, Jeremy, watched on in silence. Pamela seemed to approve of his football letterman jacket, sky blue shirt that matched his eyes, regular blue jeans, and white sneakers. Jeremy offered a weak smile and allowed the boy to enter their home.

"Nice to see you again Daniel…" Jeremy offered, extending a hand to the teen.

The day after Danny and Sam had started dating, Danny had quite bravely walked up to her parents and stated that the two were in a relationship. Pamela seemed to almost pass out while Jeremy looked as if he was thinking over the statement seriously. Of the two, Sam's father was the first to approve of the relationship…considering Danny was on the football team it gave the two something in common to talk about. Sam had quietly made a deal with her mother: if she could date Danny, she would "upgrade" her wardrobe. Pamela agreed knowing even if her daughter hadn't made the deal, she would continue to date the boy so why even argue with her?

Danny took the older man's hand and shook it before turning to Pamela.

"I thought I would bring over Sam's homework. We have a major test Friday in AP Chemistry so I got some extra problems that could be used as bonus on it…"

One of Pamela's thin brows rose sharply into her hairline as a soft smile began to grace her lips.

"Really…well…thank you Daniel…"

Danny nodded with a smile back.

"I figured it would be easier if I stayed and showed her how to work a few of the equations…if you don't mind of course. Sam had kinda promised me help me study as well...she's been on my tail about it. If I fail my test, there go my football games...and quite possibly a scholarship according to my coach…"

Pamela's hand fell to her sides in shock.

Since when had Daniel Fenton become so interested in trying to impress her and her husband? Was his being with their daughter in a relationship that important to the young man? Apparently…yes…

"W-well…"

"Of course you may stay Daniel…" Jeremy stated, pulling his wife to the study. "Samantha's in her room but be careful, we wouldn't want you getting sick before your big game!"

Danny grinned.

"Yes sir!"

Waiting for the two to leave, the young raven haired boy all but rushed up the stairs with featherlike steps and skidded to a halt at his girlfriend's door. He knocked out of courtesy, but upon feeling music blasting through soundproof walls, he phased through the door and smiled at the sight before him.

Music blasting hard core metal, she ignored the strong knock at her door. No doubt one or both of her parents were coming to check on her…again. After having the entire medical staff of the hospital at her house at six am, Samantha Elizabeth Manson wanted nothing more than to furrow deeper into her thick comforter and fall back asleep, trying to ignore the pain in her head.

But upon feeling the temperature drop a few degrees, she let a smile fall upon her lips. She heard a heavy object hit the floor, probably a backpack, and her comforter was pulled up as a warm body slid in next to her own freezing one before the heavy comforter was pulled back down and tucked around the now two bodies inhabiting the bed. Sam turned into the warm body and burrowed her face into a chest as a chuckle rumbled from said area. Opening her eyes, soft violet swirled with sky blue as she let her smile widen just a bit before blinking slowly with a yawn.

"How long you been here?" She asked, watching as he gazed down at her with a smile matching her own.

"Only about five minutes…" He replied, kissing her forehead.

She yawned once more and lifted a hand to brush away his bangs from his eyes, only for them to fall back into place. She stifled a giggle behind her hand and watched as one of his dark brows rose with a smirk falling into his face.

"May I ask what's so funny?" He asked in amusement.

She shook her head against her pillow and moved to lie on his chest. His arms wound around her lithe form automatically as he breathed in the lilac and jasmine scent that filled his Sam's room. Normally he would only smell the flowers that matched her eyes, but lately the sweet smell of jasmine had joined in the little scent party that tormented his nose.

"The doctors say jasmine is supposed to calm you…" Sam said, as if knowing what her boyfriend was thinking.

"Hmm…" The reply came as he reveled in having his girlfriend in his arms.

"…you know you really stink…" Sam suddenly stated, pulling away to look down at him.

His chuckle rumbled deep from his chest and Sam had to remember his voice was deeper than it had been two years ago…damn medicine the doctors had given her were finally getting to her…

"Well I did just get done with football practice if that's what you're implying…"

Sam rolled her eyes and leaned up to have a clear look at him. Danny had abandoned his letterman jacket on her desk chair and ditched his jeans, socks, and sneakers on the floor next to her bed, leaving him only in his sky blue shirt and black basketball shorts. She in turn wore only a violet tank top and black short shorts, known to many as "spandex".

Danny watched as she moved to lay a hand on his chest and froze as she moved her hand down his chest, feeling his muscles ripple at her touch. Her hand stopped at his naval before moving back up to rest on his heart.

"Sam?"

She snapped out of her thoughts before looking at him with an embarrassing smile.

"Sorry…damn medicine is kicking in I'm afraid…"

He chuckled once more and pulled her toward him, crashing her lips to his. Carefully laying her back down onto the bed, he allowed her hands to explore his chest and back while his hands did a little exploring of their own. Of course this wasn't the first time one of their little make out sessions had gone toward third base…not that either of the two cared… It was just when someone walked in on the two…

Danny's thoughts were sharply brought back to reality when his girlfriend's hands slid up underneath his shirt, one flowing down his still growing abs and the other sliding up behind his back. Breaking away for only a few moments, he allowed her to quickly remove his shirt where it joined the ever-growing pile of his clothes.

He growled low in the back of his throat.

"Something bothering you?" She asked, raking a hand of black painted manicured nails down his stomach with a smirk.

His mouth latched onto the junction where her neck and shoulder met and she mewled in content.

"…we're hardly even on items of clothing Sammy…"

She raised a brow.

"Hardly? I believe we ARE even mister…"

He nipped at her neck in response and she rolled her eyes again.

When it came to her boyfriend and their relationship, Sam had found that Daniel Andrew Fenton was quite a passionate man, pouring every ounce of love into what he did with and for her. From something as small as holding her hand to what they were doing now, Danny gave one hundred percent when it came to Sam. Not that she minded because she loved to see Danny pouring out his heart for her and she returned it one hundred percent back. She leaned up and allowed him to pull the skin tight tank top from her body and watched as he took in the sight that was his girlfriend.

The past two years had been nothing but rekindling their friendship and learning about each other all over again. Then about a year ago, their relationship had been taken to the next level when Danny had accidently walked in on Sam getting ready for their sophomore prom. Her parents had been gone for the night and he was getting tired of Tucker gushing over how hot Sarah looked in her dark blue mini, so he merely stated that he was going upstairs to check on Sam. When he'd walked in without knocking, he found his girlfriend in only her underwear, stockings, and heels trying to get a wrinkle out of her dress. That had made the entire group an hour late for prom…

Sam couldn't help but feel a familiar feeling come from the pit of her stomach as she watched the hunger fill Danny's baby blues and the familiar flash of neon green before turning back to baby blue. When that happened, Sam knew not to let it go too far…Danny sometimes forgot his emotions were in sync with his ghost powers. The first time she'd learned that was when a heated study session had resulted in Danny falling through the floor of his bedroom and land in the basement two floors down.

She smiled as he placed his lips at the follow of her neck before sliding up to kiss her soundly on the mouth. He pulled away and suddenly flipped their position so he was against the mattress and she above him. Sam took this time to gaze at the battle scars that decorated his upper body. Of course, she'd bandaged most of them even when they were younger but now most were nothing but pink lines that ran across, diagonally, and every which way along his chest, stomach, and no doubt his back. Her fingers found one that had been white for some time now, tanning along with his skin. It ran from the top of his right shoulder diagonally all the way down to his left hip. The fight against his future self had left this scar that would never disappear no matter what any medicine said. She shivered, remembering what Clockwork had said about the scar.

"This scar will never disappear so long as Danny continues to travel down the dark path leading to the man you saw…" Clockwork stated of the evil Dan Phantom, who lay locked in a thermos.

"How do I change this future?" Sam had pleaded.

Clockwork only shook his head and reverted to his child form.

"I can only tell you that friends and family can only guide. The choices he makes will affect his path…"

Upon feeling a hand to her check, Sam looked up to see Danny's worried expression. With a soft smile, she shook her head and moved to lay her head upon his chest.

"With both of us spacing out, I guess the moment's gone isn't it?" Danny asked, rubbing his fingers up and down her back.

She shivered and moved closer against him.

"I wouldn't say that exactly…"

He chuckled once more and moved to lay one more kiss to her head before getting comfy in her bed.

"I almost forgot you were sick and the reason for me being over here was to bring you your homework…"

Sam shrugged and kissed his chest.

"Sorry…but you're too good of a pillow to move…"

Danny smiled and hugged her to him, closing his eyes to let the smell of lilacs and jasmine to refill his nose.

"…but you really to need a shower…"

Yes something can be said of the two who were found a few hours later, actually working on homework and fully dressed unknownst to the Manson parents of what had happened prior to the moment they had walked in.

Danny Fenton and Sam Manson were without a doubt, no questions asked…. IN. LOVE.
