"I'm so sorry,"

"Danny"

"I understand if you dont feel the same,"

"Danny"

"or if you want me to leave,"

"Danny"

"and if you never want to see me again,"

"Daniel"

"I just barged into your house and-" His lips were suddenly met with Vlads.

"Danny, I wouldnt have comecome back if I didn't love you."

Danny's face turned bright red and his hand flew to his lips, his eyes searched the mans face for a hint of humor or a look of regret.

They had been watching tv and Danny couldnt keep his eyes off Vlad.

"What's on your mind Daniel?"

"I've loved you for years and you're actually here." As if he had realized what just came out of his mouth the boy paled and immediately started apologising.

"You kissed me..."

"Yes, was that alright?" Vlad held the boys face gently.

"You...you kissed me..."

"Daniel? Are you alright?"

"I um...I've... um..." Danny's face was red and he couldn't look at Vlad.

"Can I do it again?" Danny's eyes flickered to Vlads lips then to his eyes, the halfas lips were gently parted and Vladimir couldnt hold back. At first it was a gentle kiss for Danny to get use to but it soon became slightly more passionate. When they pulled apart Danny was tinted red with his hand on Vlads chest.

"I thought I'd never get to kiss you." Vlad chuckled lightly.

"Out of all the ththings to worry about thats the one you focused on?" He pulled the boy onto a hug. "Daniel you deserve so much better... come one lets get you to bed."

"Vlad?"

"mmm?"

"Why did you watch me?" The man looked down at him with a small smile.

"I was at the hospital when you were born, your father wanted me there of course, I remember hating you when you came out. I hated everything about you. When you turned five I moved away, I couldnt handle it, you favored me over anyone of your parents friends and I despised you. When you came to my mansion for the class reunion I couldnt breath, I stopped loving Maddy that day. It was a hard thing to deal with, I had never been involved with men and I wanted to impress you with knowing about who you were. I tried to get you alone but I couldnt. When I found out you were the ghost boy I got so angry that your parents let that happen to you and the anger clouded who I wanted to be to you. While I was with Clockwork I didnt age, I didnt do anything and I kept an eye on you. At first it was just random but as I would check in and do research I got terrified. I started watching more often and sending things to hide your blades... one night I accidentally stumbled apon you um...pleasuring yourself and I... it aroused me to say the least. I started watching you for days at a time, more likely than not it broke my heart. I had never felt this way... I knew I loved you."

Danny was sobbing into Vlads chest. "You dumb pervy fruitloop." Vlad chuckled and layed Danny in bed, he phased off the young mans binder, kissed him gently and went to leave.

"Vlad? Do you think maybe you could um...hold me until I fall asleep?"

"Of course badger."
