In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have gone on the roof with a dusty bottle of wine by way of a rickety old ladder whilst my mom was out of town for the weekend. It was a bad idea, I can see that now that the ladder is lying in the overgrown grass by the lilac bush and I'm still on the roof with a half-empty bottle of wine and a constellation book that I can't even read in this damn moonlight.

I wasn't even drunk. This was the worst idea I've ever had, and trust me; I've had a lot of bad ideas. A lot of them. Now I was stuck on the cold roof for a solid night with nothing but a dumb constellation book and a useless bottle of wine that wasn't at all making me drunk enough to ignore the fact that the wind was fucking cold and I was wearing a holey t-shirt and running shorts. Maybe I could jump down from the roof … Nope. No, never mind. I'm not drunk enough to do that, either.

Great. Just great. I could've just as easily watched the stars on the grass, but hey, wouldn't it be more fun to lie on the roof and not get stuck up there at all oh no that's not even a possibility lol great thinking Voice In My Head you're the best.

"Hey, you good?"

I was up in a second, and then I was stumbling on the slanted roof, and then I was falling backwards, and then I was screaming and flailing and look there's the ground—

Two gloved hands grabbed my flailing ones, yanking me away from the edge of the roof. My knees buckled, I overbalanced, and I ran straight into the person holding me upright. We both fell, our heads banging into each other's, my foot connecting with something smooth and wobbly and—

CRASH!

Great. There goes the wine. Now I just had the constellation book and the lump that I was laying on. Oh wait shit. This was a person. Maybe I was drunker than I initially thought.

"Oh motherfucking fuck I'm so sorry I was just stargazing and I got stuck on the roof and then—wait a hot second, how'd you get on my roof?"

The person in question was still groaning, and I was still on top of them, so I rolled off and finally got a better look at who I'd rammed heads with. Whoever it was was glowing, with this ridiculous white hair and a skintight black hazmat suit and when they cracked their eyes open I caught a glimpse of the brightest neon green eyes I'd ever seen, not that I'd ever seen another pair of neon green eyes and—

Fuck. My drunk ass had rammed heads with Danny Phantom. The Danny Phantom. Ghost-fighting, badass, probably-really-ridiculously-hot-to-straight-people Danny Phantom.

"ARE YOU OKAY?" I shouted, and then I realized it was too loud and tried again. "Are you okay?" Nope. Too quiet. I was either more of a lightweight than I initially thought or I was just really flustered in front of the literal world-saving superhero Danny Phantom. Fuck I could literally reach out and touch him.

"I'm fine," Phantom said, his right gloved hand still massaging circles into his forehead. "What about you? Sorry about scaring you, I just saw your fallen ladder and figured you could use a hand." He froze suddenly, eyes widening a fraction. "Wait, did you say stargazing?"

I started picking at the goose bumps on my arm, my face flushing. "Yeah. You're probably gonna think I'm a bit of a nerd."

"No! No, I love stargazing! Can I join you? God, I love stars. Wait, come here, you see that one? That's Hercules, and over there is Sagittarius, and—" His hand ran into the constellation book and he picked it up, eyebrows furrowed. "I used to have this book! Are you trying to learn about constellations? Oh, man, I know all about them. I've been studying them since I was really little. No, seriously, sit down next to me; you see that cluster of stars over there?"

He was glowing brighter and brighter with every rushed, rambled sentence. He was actually glowing with happiness.

And that's how, at 2:30 in the morning, my drunk ass found out that Danny Phantom is a total space nerd.

And a bit more human than I had originally thought him to be.
