Left Unsaid
this will all go away after tomorrow nights episode, so I figured I'd just shoot this little oneshot in here. sooooooooooo missing Faye Dartmouth's fics, I hope she is saving her writing for this summer,she is the best. feedback appreciated. I own nothing but a couple of supergreat mules, and you can't have them.
He was going to say that seeing Grace walk out of her school and look at him-looking *for* Danny and not seeing him-was possibly the hardest thing he'd ever done-definitely in the top 5. He was going to say that the way Danny looked at him and said "I can't breathe" was terrifying, and never, ever do that again; that he'd go in first, that he'd clear the scene, that he'd do anything at all not to have to see *his* people look at him like that. He was going to say thank you for continuing to breathe. He was going to say that the way Rachel looked at him meant something, too, and maybe someday he'd understand. He was going to ask why the doctor told Danny he needed a good pulmonologist for the spots on his lungs. He was going to say something snarky and petty and normal. Instead he handed Danny the bag with clothes in it, to get dressed and leave. He brought a tshirt of his; he knew it'd be too tight across the chest because although Danny was a head shorter, he had a barrel chest that packed a lot of strength. He brought board shorts and flip flops because if you live in Hawaii, and plan on staying, you *must have* board shorts and flip flops. He knew that Danny's clothes -including his tie, which he couldn't remember if the tie was one that Grace gave him because he didn't *do* ties and it was the kind of thing that wasn't important at the time but might be important to Danny now-had been put in a hazmat bag and probably incinerated. And as much as Danny hated the board shorts and the flip flops and someone else's tshirt, he'd put them on, though he'd probably also consider just walking out of the hospital with his ass hanging out a gown, just to stick it to him. Laughing all the way to the car. And that'd be okay, too.
