Hey everyone. Thank you all so much for reading my story. Can you believe it? It's the #4 story on the GreenhouseAcademy tag right now. So, thank you all so so much. Seriously, thank you.
This is a Dayley one-shot as requested by TheDevilsAngxl, and honestly, this one in particular has been on my mind for a while, I just never found the right way to write it until like yesterday. I had planned to post this yesterday but there's something called college that is starting to take up most of time. Anyway, TheDevilsAngxl, I hope you enjoy this and its up to your expectations.
This was also inspired by High School Musical 3, and I'm pretty sure everyone knows which scene I'm talking about. Don't forget that we're all in this together, and we will defeat this virus, so keep your head held high and smile.
I hope you guys enjoy this and don't forget to send in your prompts.
Third Person POV
"Hey babe." Daniel calls out as he puts his arms around her and she sinks into the embrace. He then plants a gentle kiss on her forehead before turning around to face her. "What's got you so down?"
She just shakes her head, glancing at her brother before facing him once again. "It's nothing really." Her tone is softer, gentler, more careful as if she's avoiding being heard by those around them.
"It's just..." He can see her thinking as the words tumble around in her head, like she's trying to find the right way to phrase what she wants to say. "It's not that I'm not excited to have mom and dad here. I mean, we lost almost a whole year to be together and everything."
He nods at that, urging her to continue. And she does, with a sigh.
"But with them here, I feel like I'm losing some of my freedom. I can't just do whatever I want anymore. They're going to be the overprotective parents they are and lurk at every corner." She tells him before a spark is ignited in her eyes. "It also means no PDA when they're around."
As he finally comprehends her words, a frown falls on his face. "Wait. So, I can't kiss my girl whenever I want?"
"Nope, and it's not like you didn't already know that, you waited until we were out of the Greenhouse before giving me my morning kiss." She teases as a cheeky grin appears on her face. "Also, I think my dad would have an aneurysm if you had kissed me."
"Well we wouldn't want that happening, now would we." He sends her a smile before capturing her lips with his, allowing them to enjoy a kiss that they may soon be unable to have.
"Cut it out with the PDA already!" Their moment is cut short when a cardboard box is thrown in their direction, hitting Hayley square in the face. "Little brother is still in the room."
Seeing him covering his eyes, the pair and other Eagles around them chuckle at his childishness.
"As if we haven't seen you making out with Brooke when Hayley's in the room." Daniel chimes in, absently rubbing salt into a fresh wound.
"Yeah, you're my little brother. Don't you think that's weird for me? To see my baby brother kissing someone." Hayley adds before realising the look on Alex's face. "Sorry."
"No, it's ok." The younger Woods shakes his head. "It's kinda my fault anyway. I was being a really insensitive jerk."
Deciding that they had enough of the depressing topic, he took her hands in his. "Hey, take a walk with me?"
The girl in question just shrugged. "Sure. Why not?"
Hand in hand, they walk out of the clubhouse, and just as they turn the corner, they're almost certain they can hear Alex shouting, "Be back by curfew or dad will have your head."
A look at Hayley is all he needs to know the younger Woods speaks the truth and he keeps a mental reminder to have her back before 10:30 because not only is he too young to die, but he doesn't want his girl to get in trouble with her parents.
"Ok, so where are we going?" Her sweet voice breaks him out of his thoughts and a smile forces its way onto his face.
"I can't tell you." He grins. "But you'll love it." He continues to lead her down the hallways to the surprise mini date he had planned while she was out seeing Suzanne.
He knew that she was really mad and frustrated earlier, especially at Brooke, and while she is extremely adorable when she's mad, what boyfriend would he be if he let his girl stay mad the whole night? So, he quickly planned a little date at her favourite spot in all of the Greenhouse.
As he led her up to the roof, he turned on the music app on his Louie, and let the soothing rhythm surround them. Immediately, he could tell she was much calmer.
Finally, the pair reached the rooftop and Hayley was completely taken by surprise.
Fairy lights surround the lamp posts and give the place an ethereal glow. Paper butterflies were strung from them as well as the trees and the secret little garden looked more magical, more beautiful than ever before.
"Babe." Hayley calls out once she's over the initial shock. "It's beautiful."
He turns to her as he walks backwards, leading her to the center of the open air space. "But not as beautiful as you." He softly kisses her before putting his arms around her waist.
"Let's dance." He simply says as they begin to sway to the music.
"Daniel," She laughs. "I can't dance. You know that." She tries to follow his footsteps but fails, tripping over her own feet and allowing to be suave as he catches her in his arms.
"Just follow my lead, I'll teach you." He tells her gently as the song changes. "My mom told me that the way to a girl's heart is to sweep her off her feet, and I think I'm doing just fine."
Hayley chuckles at that but follows his movements anyway.
Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine
And let the music be your guide
He takes her hand in his once again and extends it before placing her other on his shoulder. With his other arm around her waist, he pulls her closer and they both enjoy the close proximity.
Their eyes connect and it's like they're the only two people in the world. Slowly, they move to the music and it's as if they've been dancing together their whole lives.
Won't you promise me (now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing (to keep dancing)
Wherever we go next
As they dance, they feel as if this is a moment neither of them will ever forget. They could forget who they are, their friends, family, and everything in the world, but they won't forget this moment and the feeling of being in the arms of another, the one they love.
It's like catching lightning, the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
He feels so lucky she chose him. She's like the sun, a ball of fire that controls so much of the universe. If she were gone, everything would be too. She fuels everything, his life, his passion, and his will to be better.
Being with her makes him feel like everything is right with the world. She makes him stronger, like they could take down anything that comes their way, even another magnetite crazed person. Knock on wood that it will never happen again, but even if it does, he knows that with her by his side, he can do anything.
And with each step they take together, they become more in sync not only to the rhythm but with each other. It's like they can anticipate each other's move and when he goes in for a spin, she follows almost effortlessly.
She might not be much of a dancer but dancing with someone she loves makes it so much better. She loves him with all her heart and a look at him tells her he shares the same sentiments.
Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you through it all
He spins her again, but this time she trips. Terror grips her heart as she feels herself hurtling towards the floor. All fear is gone though, when strong warm hands find her waist and lifts her up until her feet barely touch the ground. She grasps tightly onto him, holding him like a lifeline, and all he can do is hold her tighter.
With their chests pressed together, they can feel the fear and terror the other exudes. That was too close. They had gone too close to the railing for comfort.
And you can't keep us apart (even a thousand miles can't keep us apart)
Cause my heart is (cause my heart is) wherever you are
He keeps a firm hold on her, for fear of her falling if he were to let go. Carefully, he leads her over to the center once again. Throughout this, her head remains in the crook of his neck as his hand softly strokes her brown locks, the soothing motion calming her down.
Once she stops shaking, he gently lifts her head, and wiping the few stray tears from her eyes, he asks her if she wants to continue or stop.
She wants to continue and the lightning that strikes the moment she does puts a smile on her face.
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
They sway slowly once again, allowing them to catch their breath and return to the momentum. As they dance, their fears dissipate and it's like nothing ever happened. Once again, they are just a loving couple, enjoying a moonlit dance on the rooftop without a care in the world.
Oh no mountains too high and no oceans too wide
Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe, that we were meant to be
They know, together they are invincible and the last few months have proved that. They've taken down more bad guys than they ever should, and they did it together.
As long as they stay together, fight for each other, they know they will be unstoppable and their love for each other would never die.
It's like catching lightning, the chances of finding
Someone like you (like you)
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do (way we do)
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
By now, the two of them are glowing with bliss. They've never felt happier, more at peace, as they do now in each other's arms. They hope this will stay forever, that they will be together forever, and that their love will only grow from here.
So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
And can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
As the song dies out, he pulls her in for a kiss which she reciprocates immediately. Her hands go around his neck and his are placed firmly on her waist. They stay like that for a few moments until a shiver goes up her spine as she feels the cold drizzle on her shoulder.
"Are you cold?" He asks her, concerned, already shrugging off his jacket. She just smiles sheepishly as he throws it over her and he grins at how it makes her tall frame look smaller.
"C'mon, let's get you back inside before it pours and you fall sick." She wants to protest but his arm is already over her shoulders, steering her back inside.
As they arrive at the door, he plants a soft kiss on her forehead, wishing her goodnight, before opening the door and ushering her in.
Seeing the look on her face, Ryan grins. "Nice night?" She teases and the girl in question just nods before heading to her room. As she lays on her bed clutching onto the jacket, she allows the sweet memories of the night to run through her head and seep into her dreams.
Outside, Ryan smiles. If her baby is happy, then this guy is definitely good for her, because he is treating her right. And she can sleep easily knowing she can trust her daughter to make the right decisions when it comes to her own love life.
