Hey guys, I have another one shot like this coming up and it will be a two part one since I can't fit it all into a single one shot. It's not going to have the same AU theme or pairing though.
This is an AU set in 2010 and like I usually do with AU's I tend to change the ages of some of the people within the story to suit it.
J-dog p.o.v
I have never ever owned a slave in my life so why was I suddenly deciding that today would be the best day to buy one. I also don't have a lot of money to spend on a slave; I don't know how much one would cost. I know back in the 1800's it was only for the super mega rich people and now anyone can buy one so it does lead me to believe that the price isn't that expensive. I don't even think I want I slave; I got drunk last weekend after we kicked Deuce out and I lost a bet. That bet involved buying a slave so now I am at the slave market which is in a hidden part of town since I heard slavery is a dodgy business.
I got into the building and met the guy that was going to be taking me around and trying to sell me a slave who would match our household. I live in a large house with Dylan, George, Jordon and Matt so a cleaner would be handy but I keep feeling this isn't right. I might buy this slave then free it, then I get told for the first six months they come by to see how they are doing. So, that destroys that plan, I'm sure I can come up with something. I was also told that any of the slaves here cost $90 but the one he showed me next only costs $60, he even told me they might bring the price down to $30 if he isn't bought soon.
This male slave is 20 and he has been all three types of slave. He was born into the slave life so he was a child slave at first, then when he was old enough he was made a labour slave who would do the housework for someone and he was also used as a sex slave at times. Those weren't the reasons that he was being sold at a lower price than the other slaves. The reason he told me that Daniel Rose Murillo was being sold at $60 instead of $90 was because he was the most aggressive slave that they have ever dealt with and because of that no one really wanted him.
They also kept him sedated most of the time. They didn't really want him awake because he was prone to lash out. So, I was looking at a small male with brown hair styled into a quiff, he had a couple of tattoos he picked out and he had his slave number tattooed on his wrist. He was really skinny because he never ate but there was a drip giving him nutrients and keeping him hydrated. He was currently under sedation so I couldn't see what colour his eyes are but I assume they are brown. Something about him just made me want to buy him, there was no way he is as aggressive as they say he is if he is shown the right care and love.
"So what happens if I tell you I want to buy him?" I ask the guy, just to see how they are going to deal with him. "I would say you are taking a big risk but, if you want to buy him then go ahead. He might be on and off sleeping for the first few days as his body gets used to not being under constant sedation. We will provide sedation drugs free in case you need them and you would be able to take him home today when we wake him up and he knows what's going on," the man says. I get my wallet out and hand over the $60 that I need to buy Daniel, I am determined to help him however I can.
I sign the paperwork which states Daniel is now my responsibility and anything that happens to him will be on me unless it is any condition that the place already knows about which covers the sedation and any side effects he may suffer. I was then taken to a medical room where they brought Daniel and hooked him up to some chest monitors and used a couple of other monitors like blood pressure and pulse ox. They gave him the drug which would wake him up and asked me if I was sure I wanted to do this. I said I was sure; this slave is my responsibility now. All I have to do now is wait for him to come round and pass a few little tests.
The side effects were only a possibility they might not happen to Daniel. Well, I know sleepiness was going to be one he will go through. They also told me he is going to be groggy and confused, he's voice would be hoarse since he hasn't spoken in a while. He could suffer from: nausea, vomiting, a dry mouth, a sore throat, and shivering. I was hoping for his sake that he wouldn't go through any of those other symptoms. That would just be horrible but I know I would look after him no matter what happens to him. I kind of like him already even though I haven't really met him yet, he's still in the process of coming round from the sedation.
It took ten to twenty minutes before he slowly opens his eyes and while he looks around the room he blinks, trying to adjust to the light and being awake. The guy who I paid to get Daniel was still there and I think he was happy the slave was going. "Daniel, this guy is Jorel Decker. He is your master now; you'll be leaving with him today. Try not to kill him," the guy says and then leaves for us to get to know each other and then he'd come back to do the testing. The fact Daniel might have killed previous masters didn't bother me which was weird, I'm sure he has his reasons to do it.
"Hey, is there any name other than Daniel that you prefer?" I ask, speaking in a calm tone and trying to come across as a friendly person. He tried to sit up and nearly fell off the bed and I gently helped him even though he was flinching an awful lot. This could mean his former masters abused him and didn't treat him right. "Um, I prefer Danny master," he tells me, his voice was a little scratchy but I knew he was slightly scared of me. I don't want him to be afraid of me; I wasn't going to hurt him. I wasn't even going to let him be my slave; it would be for show when they come to check on him.
"It's okay Danny, no need to be shy around me. I'm not going to hurt you," I tell him. He gave me a little smile and I don't think it's me he is afraid of anymore. I am telling the truth about not wanting to hurt him so he should know that. Maybe he fears the master he had before and this guy who just sold him to me. I talked to him some more and allowed him to ask me as many questions about where he is going to live and who is going to be living with us. He was going to be cleaning our house. Well he isn't really but that is what the guy who just walked back in believes.
He checks Danny over and gives him a glass of water. If he kept that down, he could have a sandwich. It didn't take long before he was given the all clear for me to take him home. He did say he would come to the house in a months' time if we weren't dead already to see how Daniel was doing. In the car Danny was clearly tired but he was interested in seeing Los Angeles again since it was where he was born and raised for a few years. "Listen Danny, I am not interested in making you a slave for me or my band mates. I bought you as a dare but now I know what you've been through I feel more inclined to save you and help you get to live a normal life," I explain to him.
I wasn't sure how much of this conversation he was going to remember but I could always remind him if he forgets. He seemed shocked that I was doing this; he has never had a good experience of people I am guessing. I don't think I'd be happy if I had to be a slave since I was five or something. "Jorel, how could I repay you for that?" he asks me, I did explain we'd have to act around those people but it shouldn't be hard. "Let me hear you sing, we need a new lead singer and if you can sing then you can do it," I tell him. I turn the car radio on and soon enough he starts singing along to it.
He sounded like an angel was singing; he was perfect and just who we were looking for. If he gets along with the guys well, then it could be very promising and we could have a new lead singer. All it cost us was $60. I'm saying that now when it could all go horribly wrong from here on in. I am yet to see this guy's angry side and the others haven't met him yet. I did text Johnny to tell him what I had done and who the guy I was bringing home is. Johnny seemed to accept that and my plans and said he would help in any way he could.
I watched as Danny got nervous when I pulled into the garage of the house. It is a six-bedroom house and now six people live in it. I did rub his arm and tell him it was going to be okay. Johnny told the others what was going on and to not overwhelm the new guy and try and help him settle in. If this runs smoothly then that would be the best outcome. Danny stayed really close to me as I walked into the house and was greeted by Johnny. He introduced himself to Danny who flinched at any kind of contact we gave him unless we told him we were going to do it. I decided to take him to the living room and let him try and sleep off the sedation drug because it was still affecting him.
I covered him with a blanket once he was out for the count. He looked more peaceful here then he did back at the place I bought him from. Then again the atmosphere here is different and he wasn't drugged unconscious by anyone. I left the drugs they gave me in my car because I don't think I will need them. He seems to be more shy and scared than aggressive. Someone was lying or we haven't seen that side of him yet, maybe it is too early. Dylan seemed curious as to why Danny needed to sleep at two in the afternoon. "At the place I got him from, they kept him sedated all the time so they told me he is going to be like this for a few days," I tell him.
"Why would they sedate him though? He seems to be a shy and quiet guy," George asks me and I shrug. "He would have been ninety dollars but I got him for sixty because they claim he is the most aggressive one there and he might have killed at least one of his former masters. They said he was prone to lashing out at them so they kept him under and they gave me the drugs they used on him in case we need them but I don't think we will," I explain to them. I also let Johnny look through the file I was given which has all Danny's details on them.
"Well, it seems he is showing signs of being abused in the past, which could lead to him lashing out in self-defence and the fight or flight reaction. They wouldn't have let him run so he would have fought for his life. If we show him love and care then yeah we wouldn't need the drugs," Johnny says and closes the file. The flinching was the only giveaway we knew of to any form of abuse. Then there was the fact that he was a sex slave and I don't think he became one with any kind of free will. I sat down next to Danny's sleeping form and traced little hearts on his hand with my finger being very gentle.
It seemed to comfort him; he was beginning to have a nightmare before I did that and now he seemed to have gone back to a more peaceful sleep. That was another thing that we'd help him with while he settles. He's been through a whole life of abuse from what we can gather about the mistreatment of slaves so he was going to have a few nightmares while he tries to adjust to the free lifestyle he was now going to have. Maybe if I gave him a sock or something he would be a free slave. Matt was already one step ahead of me and had a clean sock in his hands.
"I don't think it works while they are sleeping Matty," I tell him and he pouts. I smiled at him and soon his pout went away. "Were you trying to do the Harry Potter scene?" Jordon asks and I nod. Then I pause for a minute to think. "He wouldn't get the reference anyway at this point; we would need to show him the films first. From my limited research and knowledge slaves don't get any leisure time to watch anything entertaining," I tell them and they instantly feel sorry for him. He did know what music was though so one of his masters or maybe even his mom when she was alive introduced him to it.
Danny woke up briefly three hours later and I made sure he ate a bowl of soup and had a glass of juice, if he needed the toilet he could go too. I will leave the house tour until this drug was out of his system for good. He was probably going to need to sleep at some point during it and I just want him to know that no one is going to hurt him here and get him settled into the house first. Matt seemed desperate to give Danny the sock so he could be a free slave even though I made him a free slave already. I shrugged, he could do it but I still wasn't sure that Danny would get the reference.
Matt walked over and crouched next to Danny. He then handed the younger boy the sock. Danny took the sock and starred at it for a few moments. I think he was trying to understand why he had only been given one sock. "Master gave Danny a sock, Danny is free," he says quietly after a few moments which made everyone in the room chuckle. So he had seen the Harry Potter films, or at least the one that scene was from. "Of course you are free Danny, we'd rather have you as a singer than someone stuck cleaning our house," Jordon says. He picked up Danny's file and read it.
I had also told them of the moment when I made Danny sing for me in the car and how angelic he sounded. To prove that I was going to have to get Danny to sing for them but I had no idea what song he could sing. Well, I suppose I could let him use my phone to listen to Swan songs as those are some of the only songs we have and we currently perform live on stage. If he was going to be our new band member then we need to hear what he sounds like singing our songs. I decided to go for Young as the song of choice.
Danny: We are young!
But we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong
But we don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart
In my opinion he made it sound nicer than it did when Deuce was singing it. Deuce's tone when he was singing was very nasally and it just didn't really go well with the rest of the vocal ranges that were provided by the rest of us. The others were also impressed with Danny's vocal abilities. "What range do you have?" Dylan asks Danny who seemed to be stunned with all the attention and praise he was getting. "Um I can go from kinda low to quite high, I can rap to a decent standard and I can scream quite well. One of my masters used to make me sing all the time," Danny answers, again speaking quietly.
I am sure once he becomes comfortable around us he will talk a bit louder. We could hear him since no one was talking at the same time as him. If we were having a group discussion it could become an issue. To be fair on him though the vocal range is quite impressive and it will be a good addition to the ones we already have in the band. We will have to talk to each other about it when he next falls asleep though, just so we had a vote and it was fair since we voted Deuce out we would need to vote Danny in. It didn't take too long before the sleepiness left by the sedation drug took over and Danny was out for the count again.
I adjust the blanket around him and we all walk to the dining room. He will be out for an hour or two so it gave us the perfect opportunity to have the band meeting. Dylan, Jordon, Matt and Johnny joined me around the dining table and I got a notebook out just to scribble down brief minutes for this meeting for our management team when we see them again to discuss if we found a replacement for Deuce. "We all know what I wanna do here. I just need a quick vote to see if Danny should be in the band or not," I tell them.
"All in favour of Danny joining raise your hand now," Johnny says, it felt like de-ja-vu but we weren't kicking someone out this time. Everyone in the room raised their hands including me which made me smile. "This is pointless but all apposed raise your hand now," Johnny says and it could have been that moment in a television show where you hear the crickets. "Well that settles it then, Danny is now the lead singer and front man of this band," I say and Jordon cheers, followed by everyone else. Then Danny shuffles in rubbing his eyes and looking a bit distressed.
"Come here Danny," I tell him and he shuffles over to me. I pulled him down onto my lap and wrapped my arms around him. "What happened Danny? We thought you were still sleeping," Matt asks Danny who snuggles into me. "I had a nightmare and when I woke up and I was all alone I panicked," Danny says, speaking a little louder than he did earlier which meant he was warming up to us. That was something I should have considered before leaving him alone in the room. He would be prone to nightmares after what happened to him.
"Sorry Danny, we were having a discussion. We decided that you would be perfect in our band as the lead singer," I tell him and he looks at me like I had told him the best thing in the world. "You guys are honestly the best people ever, first you rescue me from a life of hell and pain and then you are going to help me turn something I love into a job," he tells me and I smile. I also hug him tightly; Johnny ruffles his hair. Obviously, he was very thankful for this. "You're very welcome Danny. We will help you in any way that we can," I tell him.
Danny was still tired and it didn't take long for general discussion to send him back into sleep. I hate what the drugs have done to him but his body was too used to being sedated. He's never been awake at this time of day for some time. I can't wait for him to be used to us and we can find out what his personality is like. I think he will be cute and a bit cheeky. I hope when I move him back to the living room until we get his room set up that he won't wake up. I lift him up and he is out for the count. He was also a lot lighter than I was expecting, he did have nutrients and fluids through the IV but I don't think he had food.
"Are you okay Jorel?" Jordon asks me, stopping at the doorway. I walk up to him with Danny in my arms peacefully sleeping. "Yeah, he's just a lot lighter than I was expecting him to be. I think he needs a few days of Dylan's cooking for sure," I reply and we walk back into the living room and I lie down on the sofa so I cuddle Danny so he was going to be calm and hopefully not have another nightmare. Matt adjusted the blanket around us and I watched as Danny snuggled up to me in his sleep. At least I knew I was giving him some form of comfort.
I do feel something deep in my heart for this guy. I can't act on this since I have only just met this guy, it would be way too soon and I need to know for sure if I really have fallen for him before I make my move. I looked at Danny, noticing he had some muscle on him but you could see his ribs a little bit at the same time. You could see his hips as well which I found to be slightly strange but he didn't really have any clothes apart from the tank top and shorts he was wearing. Dylan and Matt had left to the stores and Jordon and George were in what was Aron's room since they said Danny needs a room of his own.
I was happy to stay with Danny and help him not have any nightmares for a little bit. Maybe when he wakes up again later I can have more of a chat with him and get to know him some more and he could watch a film or something. I know that he is different from other slaves and he might not know what forms of entertainment are out there. It depends on how he was raised and what tasks he was given by his masters or mistresses. I want to know who they are so they can get arrested. No one should be a slave for anyone.
Danny stirred in his sleep and before I could prevent it he fell off the couch when he rolled over. "Jorel?" he asks, I peer over the couch to see him trying to process what just happened. "You rolled off the couch buddy, want help?" I ask him and he nods. I stand up and pull him up to his feet. "Thanks," he says and then he hugs me. Okay so add cuddly to the personality list. I love this cuddliness it means that whenever we just want a hug from someone we are likely to get one. "You're welcome Danny," I tell him and we cuddle on the couch for a bit while the TV plays in front of us.
Dylan and Matt were the first ones to finish their task. Danny seems to be a medium judging by the labels on the clothes he was wearing but I did mention to get a few smalls just in case. Matt sat with him and went through all the clothes that they had gotten and asked if he liked them or not. He didn't like all of them but he liked enough to create a decent wardrobe for himself. He had some Pjs as well. He was going to have to go with them to buy some new shoes since they didn't know what size he was and he said he didn't know what size he was the master never told him. It also wasn't in his file which was weird.
I was half expecting shoe size to be there since they had his height and they did have his clothes size in there as well which was s/m. It is obviously not really a requirement for a slave to have shoes. Danny didn't have a pair on when I got him a few hours ago. He was quite comfortable walking on the sidewalks and the driveway without complaining of pain in his feet. That did unnerve me slightly. If he was used to it then fair enough but surely the soles of his feet would be a mess. A quick glance as he stumbled when he stood up confirmed his feet were not as bad as I was expecting but there were a couple of cuts there.
"Danny, when you come sit down again stick your feet up on that cube," I tell him and he did as he was told almost straight away. Giving him commands was going to make him do them straight away so we were going to have to work on that and also get him to call us by our names could be difficult since he is used to saying master or mistress. Dylan cleaned his feet up and I provided the distraction since he was not happy with having his feet cleaned. It hurt quite a bit since Dylan was clearing some infection out as well. "It's okay Danny; we don't mean to hurt you. We just want to help you and make your feet better," I tell him.
He seemed to be mute, he stopped talking completely now. He was extremely quiet when Matt was asking him about the shirts he had picked out. He was shying away from us, after Dylan has cleaned and covered the cuts on his feet he darted over to the other side of the living room and he was shaking and whimpering a lot. George came dashing down, he was an expert on reading body language and guessing what mood the person was in. "I think he might be going through a flashback, he doesn't recognise where he is," George says. That was bad, we would have to keep our distance for the moment, he could think we are his former masters and lash out.
Jordon learned that the hard way, he went over to Danny and the smaller, younger male kicked out. Jordon didn't get hurt but he knew then it's best to leave Danny to it and comfort him when he was more with it. It was heart-breaking to see but I wasn't going to sedate him now, it wasn't needed in this situation. I think it will make him worse and more prone to lash out at us without meaning to. It will take some time but this will stop eventually. George and Jordon went back to sorting out the new room and enlisted Dylan to help them. Matt and I would stay with Danny and calm him down when he is back with us.
It took ten to fifteen minutes after that for him to come out of the freak out he had gone into. He looked around the room, seeing where he was and who he was with. He was tense at first but when he saw us he relaxed slightly. We were both calm that was going to help Danny become calm. "Hey, do you want to come over here?" I ask, speaking softly to the youngster. Sure he isn't too much younger but we are all in our mid-twenties. Danny can't even legally drink yet, he'd have to wait another year for that.
He slowly walked over to me and I smiled when he hugged me without me prompting him too. Matt joined the hug and Danny didn't mind it. I hugged him back and we waited until we knew he was calm again before we broke the hug. "Are you okay now?" Matt asks him and he nods. "I'm sorry, I thought I was with an old master who liked to cut my feet up sometimes," Danny tells us, explaining why he reacted the way he did after we cleaned his feet. That shocked me and I felt disgusted, how could someone find such joy in doing something so cruel especially to one so young. "It's okay Danny; we understand you will be scared. We would never hurt you intentionally. Dylan was only cleaning your feet so they won't hurt so badly," I tell him.
He looked around for Dylan and I could see his breathing hitch when he saw Dylan wasn't in the room. "Don't worry, no one was hurt. They are working on a nice surprise for you," Matt tells him and Danny goes to hug him. Matt hugged him back straight away and then he went to put the new clothes in the washing machine. Danny felt the urge to do it for Matt but he was reminded he was free now and he didn't need to help us with anything unless we asked him too. I watched Danny look a bit uncomfortable.
I know he has the instincts to clean and help Matt with the chores he decided to do. However, he is no longer a slave so he doesn't have to do it. Maybe we'll let him do one of the chores we hand out once he is a little more settled, for now he should be able to experience what it is like to relax and have nothing to do. He'll probably fall asleep again but that's okay with me. He's stayed awake for longer than I was expecting him to this time. I think he was getting hungry again so Matt brought a few donuts since I would want one and he got himself one. Danny enjoyed the donut; I think he could have a bit of a sweet tooth.
Then again as we got talking he told me just how he didn't have treats growing up unless he was really well behaved and the first master he ever had wasn't very kind to him. He never really had sweet foods or watched much television or films but he only watched the Harry Potter films as he was shown them when he was waiting to get his second master at a weird warehouse with a cinema screen in it. It made me re-think how awful my childhood was compared with his, yeah LA is a horrible place to grow up but slavery is a lot worse.
Then George came down the stairs an hour later and Danny was dozing off. I think his new bedroom was done now. "Danny I know you are sleepy but I want to show you something," George says, Danny rubs his eyes and stands up. He did wobble a little bit but George went and helped him regain his balance before he fell over again. I took Danny's hand and he followed me as we got up the stairs to his new bedroom. It was a simple design which will allow Danny to decorate it to how he will like it and it will feel more personal to him. It was a basic calming blue paint on the walls with laminate flooring and a nice rug which goes with the colour scheme.
He has a double bed with blue bedsheets which matches the curtains in the room and it also has a blackout blind so the room is dark at night. He has a closet and a chest of drawers to store the clothes he just got. He also has a desk with a set of art equipment in case he wanted to draw and he also has a laptop so he could use it for whatever he wants. We will get him a phone at some point but the laptop wasn't being used so we could give him that. He looked in awe at his room, it made my heart break a little bit. He probably never had a decent bedroom with the items in it in his entire life.
"So what do you think Danny?" Dylan asks, he was in the bedroom finishing painting Danny's name on the wall above his door. Danny is still looking around his new room. "This is amazing, I have never had a room like this ever, thank you guys," he tells us and I hug him and then George and Dylan have their turns to cuddle. Jordon had gone out on a date so he would get his thank you hug later. Matt will probably get one after Danny took another nap because he is definitely tired again and he would probably test out his new bed. He has a high-quality mattress from Aron which was left here. We aren't exactly rich people at this moment, our first album only made it to 22 on the charts.
"You can take a nap again if you want. We'll be downstairs if you need us and we'll wake you up if you aren't up for dinner," George says and Danny sleepily nods. We watch as he walks over to the bed and climbs under the duvet cover. He was asleep in a matter of minutes and he had found a lion toy on the dresser and he took it into bed with him which I found adorable. I find a few things about Danny adorable. We decided to leave him to sleep in his bed and hope that he will not have any more nightmares. We walked down the stairs and George decided to order pizza to come for a couple of hours so we can give Danny a chance to sleep off the sedation drug some more.
"I take it Danny has either fallen asleep or he wants to use some of the things in his room," Matt says when we come into the living room and Danny isn't behind us. "He fell asleep again; he was in complete awe when he saw his room though. I don't think he really gave himself time to take the room in before he really needed to sleep again," I tell Matt. Matt smiled, we were doing something good and it felt incredible. We have saved someone's life today and it started as a drunken dare. Totally worth it in my opinion but we aren't going to go it again. Danny is perfect for us and I feel like our brotherhood is complete now.
Danny came down an hour later, he had another nightmare and I heard him scream. As I was about to go and calm him down he came running in and straight to me. "It's okay Danny, no one here is going to hurt you I promise," I tell him as I wrap my arms around him and rub his back while he grips my shirt tightly and sobs, that one must have scared him quite badly. My efforts weren't enough to calm him down this time. George came over as he is the tallest he would be able to lift the younger one up and hold him and it would work. Danny jumped at first but George started saying calming things as he lifted Danny up and it started working. I went to sit on the recliner chair so I could cuddle Danny again once he stopped sobbing as much.
He has a strong attachment to me already and that was nice, he trusts all of us here but I wasn't expecting him to be this close to me this early on in our friendship. We've been together for about 7 hours now and he has spent about 5 hours sleeping because of the drug which I hated but had no control over. He must be getting hungry by now as well considering it has been a while since he had the donut and those aren't really that filling. He does have an hour to wait for the pizzas to arrive though.
George placed Danny onto my lap once he stopped crying. I cuddled him and then poked his sides which brought some giggles. I like it when he giggles, he sounds so cute. He was becoming cuddlier over the course of the day and as we get to know him some more he is going to be cuddlier. I don't mind because his cuddles are nice. He was sniffling a little bit but after a couple of minutes he settled down and the sniffles stopped. I showed him some videos on you tube which helped him keep calm while we wait for the pizza to arrive.
Then the pizza arrived and Danny was dozing off again. I nudged him to wake him up a little bit and he pouted. "Pizza's here bud," I tell him. His eyes lit up and I carried him into the kitchen and put him down on the chair. I put a small box of pizza in front of him. Because he hasn't really eaten much in the past few months so we didn't want to overdo and to have him spend the night throwing up because he ate too much. I put a couple of sides near him so he could try them if he wanted to. The pizza on its own might fill him up.
We ate our dinner and Danny did fairly well considering he hadn't had a full meal in a long while. He ate all the pizza and he had a few of the dough balls but he didn't want anymore and he did have a drink as well. We did offer desert but he politely declined. After dinner, we went into the living room and we watched some television to keep everything calm and Danny could fall asleep if he wanted. It didn't take too long before Danny fell asleep on me and had a loose grip on my t-shirt. I think the grip was comforting him because he would know I wasn't going to leave him anytime soon. I want to help him so much.
I kissed his forehead and I saw a faint smile in his sleep. He might fall in love with me and return my feelings for him. I have to wait though, I only just met this guy and I already think it's love at first sight. I'll get to know him over the next few days and I will see more of the personality he has. I don't think he is aggressive at all. He has been very shy and very quiet while he's been awake during the day. It might be because he doesn't know us and it could change but I think he was abused and provoked with the other people. I saw the marks all over his body, the scars and the recent injuries.
They made me feel upset and angry. Danny seems like a genuinely nice person and to have some bastard people hurt him constantly over and over for years and years. He is so affected by them at the moment, the nightmares he has had and that freak out he had when we cleaned his feet. I am sure that he will have more as the days go on and he recovers from the trauma associated with abuse. If we show him love and we take care of him like we are meant to then he won't hurt us and won't get aggressive towards us. I am not sure how this whole visit is gonna pan out but we'll see when it arrives.
We waited until the film was over before I took Danny up to his new room and put him into bed. Danny woke up briefly and looked at me with puppy dog eyes. "Jorel, can you stay with me please? I don't want to be on my own," he tells me. My heart breaks a little bit and I climb into the bed next to him. He snuggles up to me straight away and I smile. "Of course I can stay with you, you don't have to be on your own anymore because I am here to look after you," I tell him and I get one of the sweetest smiles I've ever seen. He let my play with his hair and he was asleep in no time. I'm glad he gets peaceful sleep when he is around other people.
It doesn't take me long to start dozing off, Danny's already fast asleep and unless he has a nightmare anytime soon he won't be awake for a while. I don't know how the drugs are gonna affect him but I hope it doesn't get too bad. I think he was feeling a little nauseous earlier but it didn't seem to last too long and he was feeling fine afterwards. If we give him too much food then he will definitely throw up but fingers crossed he will be fine for the rest of the night. It also doesn't take me too long before I fall asleep holding Danny protectively.
End of another one shot. I should be back to posting more regularly soon once I get over this virus which never seems to end.. Seriously I hate it now.
