DannyMay 2019 Day Two: Farewell

Ship: Danny/Paulina ; For context they're both in college

Paulina stared in shock as Danny sat next to her casually, the half-ghost giving a light sigh. She slowly put her phone into her bag's pocket, adjusting to face him better. The airport around them seemed oblivious to the couple.

"What the hell are you doing?" she asked. "How did you even get back here without a ticket?" Danny's sheepish grin was all the answer she needed. Ghost powers. "Danny, it's a long plane ride, I don't really want to travel in a sour mood."

"Look, I'm sorry, and I just came here to say I'm sorry, and so that I can just…say goodbye to you alone," Danny assured her. Paulina couldn't help but smile a bit softly, slipping her hand into his. Their fingers intertwined.

"It's not a goodbye, Danny. More of a temporary farewell," she told him softly. "I'll be back before you know it."

"You're going away for a whole semester," Danny replied a bit bitterly. "I know studying abroad is like, a great experience, God knows Jazz will never stop talking about her time in England, but just…you know."

"What do I know?" Paulina questioned. She shifted closer to him, leaning into him and putting her head on his shoulder. He lightly squeezed her hand. The voices over the PA system began to announce flights in various languages, but it was simply just more background noise that blended in with the shuffle of people and airport carts.

"I'll miss you," he told her. "A lot. I know I consider Tucker and Sam my best friends, but you're kind of like…my Best Best friend, and I love being with you. What am I going to do without you around for a whole semester?"

"I know it seems like a long time, but we have Discord and Facebook messenger, we can still play games together, and I think you forget sometimes," Paulina teased, using her free hand to poke his nose, "that one of us has the ability to think with portals." Danny couldn't help but smile, relaxing in his seat more.

"I know, I know," he mumbled, and he pecked the top of her head. "I just know it's going to be hard not being able to see you every day in class or be able to hang out. I love you."

"And I love you too, and while I'm really excited to see Italy, I'm going to be even more excited to come home to see you," Paulina told him. She pecked his cheek. "I'll be home just in time for Christmas, and it'll be great. I'll bring you home something nice."

"You coming home is perfect enough."

"You're a romantic dork," she teased. She shifted, sitting up as she gave his hand a final squeeze before letting go. "My plane's going to board soon. You should probably go back to the bathroom before they realize you're not boarding." Danny sighed.

"Yeah. You're probably right." He stayed seated for a moment before finally standing up. "This is goodbye. Least until Christmas."

"It's not a goodbye," Paulina insisted, reading out to lightly take his hand again, giving it another squeeze. "Just a temporary farewell. And I'll call you when I land."

"Promise?"

"I promise."

Danny leaned down to kiss his girlfriend a final time before letting go of her hand. He reluctantly took a few steps back.

"Farewell, Paulina. Travel safe."

"Farewell, Danny. I love you."

"You too."
