They didn't intend for it to happen, but, as the other members of their social circle were all paired off, Danny found himself getting closer and closer to Isaac. The blond was funny, had a quiet, biting wit and a certain sweetness about him that Danny found appealing, so it wasn't a hardship. Neither of them were lucky in love and it just seemed natural when they began hanging out.
Like, hanging out a lot.
So it also seemed natural one night when Danny leaned in and pressed a kiss to Isaac's warm lips. Both of them froze for a moment, then Isaac sighed and deepened the kiss.
The next couple of months, they kissed a lot and fell into bed nearly as often. Isaac had never been with another guy before, but he was eager and responsive in a way that Danny adored. They told themselves, and their friends, over and over that it was a casual thing, just friends enjoying a good time together.
And maybe that was what it started out as, but pretty soon Danny started having messy feelings. Messy feelings he tried to keep in for fear of losing whatever this was with Isaac…until one night.
As they lay in bed, moonlight shining in through the window, he felt the soft caress of Isaac's lips against the back of his neck as they lay spooned together. He was drowsy and half asleep, but he smiled and hummed happily. "Isaac," he murmured, fingers tracing shapes on the pale forearm wrapped around his torso. "Have dinner with me?"
He felt the curve of a smile against his neck. "Don't we always?"
Danny chuckled, defenses down. "Yes, but I'm asking you on a date. If you want to date me."
There was a momentary pause before Isaac said, "You know, I think we might already be dating. So yes, I'd like that."
Smiling, Danny turned in Isaac's arms and drew him into a long kiss…a kiss that led to them staying up quite a while longer that night.
