AU - December

Dylan p.o.v

I'm sure something is wrong with Danny, but I can't quite put my finger on exactly what it is that is wrong with the poor guy. He is always here super early, and he always leaves after everyone else. Today has been the only exception to that as he walked in an hour late shaking like he was on the north pole or something. It snowed last night, so it's pretty cold outside this morning. "Are you okay Danny?" I ask him, as he plonks himself down next to me like he always does. He shakes his head and I wrap my arm around him before rubbing his to generate friction. I didn't want to flinch at how icy cold he felt. George got up to go get something and I tried to focus on warming my older friend up. "What's up Dyl?" Jorel asks, they were all worried about how cold Danny is today.

"Feel how cold his skin is," I tell him, Danny was barely focusing at this point and I was getting really worried for his health. This is starting to be more and more like he has hypothermia somehow. I am not sure how someone would get it unless they were out in this weather without a coat on for ages. Jorel puts his hand on Danny's forehead and keeps it there. "Yeah, that's pretty cold. Might be hypothermia or something. Let's get a thermometer and check," Jorel says, and Jordon looks up hypothermia on his phone. He shows me what they say to do, and I stop rubbing Danny's arm. It's doing more harm than good right now. George comes back with a blanket and thermometer for us. I thought he would have gotten a hot drink but Danny's not really coherent enough to drink right now and that would be dangerous.

George explains what he is going to do with Danny in hopes that if the other man becomes more alert then he won't be scared. "How the fuck has he gotten this cold? I thought you only got hypothermia if you were exposed to the cold for ages," Matt asks, when George read what Danny's current temperature was it confirmed our suspicions and means that Danny will be taking a trip to ER with me to get warmed up. "It's something we are gonna have to ask Danny when he wakes up and everything is alright again," Jordon says, he's right there is no use wondering how Danny got into this position. We have to ask him when he feels better, and we can sort it out then. Right now if we waste too much more time then he will get even worse and possibly die.

George carries Danny to his car. I have failed to mention that Danny and I have only just started Danny in the last 6 months, but the guys know that anyway which is why George is allowing me with him and making sure that I stay calm as well. As we have only been dating for six months neither of us feel that it would be right to move in with each other or anything as the relationship is still new and could still go wrong for both of us. "He's gonna be okay Dylan, I know he will," he tells me. I know they will make him better, I'm just worried now while he is unconscious in my arms. I kiss the top of his head and hope that Danny knows I still love him. We arrive in little to no time and George goes up to the desk to explain while I sit nearby with Danny in my arms. I check his breathing like I am supposed to and it's good for now.

They see Danny pretty quickly considering that Danny is pretty unwell at the moment and hypothermia is considered to be a medical emergency. They get him sorted out and on the road to recovery so all we can do now is wait until his body temperature goes back to a safe level. George is going to keep the rest of the guys updated who have volunteered to stay behind and do some work on the next album and explain why half of the band are not there now. I can't hold Danny's hand while they try and warm him up, so I can play with his hair instead. He prefers that more regardless, he feels calmer when I play with his hair. George rubs my shoulder and I look at him with a smile. They are currently trying a combination of warm fluids through his IV and humidified oxygen through a nasal canula because his hypothermia is quite bad.

They have other methods they could use, but so far they are happy their current treatment is working, and his body temperature has started to rise. This morning could definitely had gone better that is for sure. "What do you think happened?" George asks me, maybe there could be something we can work out before Danny wakes up. I think about all the possibilities that are coming to mind when I think about Danny. There was something that was ringing alarm bells in my head. "He did say his landlord was being an asshole," I mention to George, it could lead to nothing, but it was the only thing that I could think of that could lead to Danny being in this situation. His landlord could do many things that would end up leading to this.

"Yeah, he might have kicked Danny out which would explain some things," George says quietly. We don't want to mention too much. Danny might not even want to talk about it which is fine by me as long as he is okay. The doctor comes to take Danny's temperature again after it's been half an hour and says it's almost to where it needs to be, so he will waking up any time now. That's a huge relief to George and I who is updating the guys back at the studio. They want him to be okay, there is a potential he'll be feeling sick for a little while after this. The doctor said the most likely cause of this was his clothes got wet somehow in the cold and dried. Even he wasn't certain on what happened to Danny. All we know is he is going to be fine now.

I was moving his hair out the way of his eyes when he finally started to wake up. He flinched for a moment, but I was talking to him which calmed him down. "Hey Danny," I tell him, and he smiles at me. "Sorry," he says, very quietly and I kiss him on the lips and he kisses me back. "There is nothing to be sorry for, you're okay now which is all that matters to me," I tell him. He does apologise quite a far bit when he does not need to. George smiles at Danny who smiles back. It's good to see Danny awake again. "What happened Dan? How did you get so cold?" George asks, hopefully we can go back to the studio soon where the guys have assured us it will stay warm today. I don't think Danny's going to answer to be honest.

"I don't remember," he tells, which is fair enough. Anything could have happened while we were not together. "That's okay Danny, just thought we should ask anyways," George says, and Danny nods. It's movie night tonight at Jorel's and we are all sleeping over because we are all going to be lazy for once and just stay there. "Do you feel any better?" I ask him, and he nods. He's definitely warmer than he was before. "Yeah, I wish I could have said something about how cold I was when I got into the studio, but I could barely move, and I wasn't sure what was going on honestly," he tells us. It all makes sense with how severe his symptoms were when he got here. I want to cuddle with him right now, but I have to wait.

"Yeah that makes sense, you had severe hypothermia from whatever happened so there wasn't much we could do apart from bring you here," George says, it did shock Danny to know he had that, and we think he might have been knocked out somewhere when it snowed last night. We just wait and soon a doctor comes in to check on him. He said that Danny should be fine without the oxygen and the IV now and we'll have to wait another hour to see if he can maintain his own body temperature at the right level then he can go home. I can now cuddle with him which is amazing, and he hugged me back tightly. "Are you still up for movies and sleepover later?" George asks and Danny nods. I think he feels a lot better now.

"Movies sound good to me," Danny says quietly, and I kiss his cheek. My boyfriend is so adorable, I cannot handle the cuteness most of the time. I'm glad he is feeling a lot better and he isn't about to die on me. I am holding him tightly and not letting him go, he doesn't seem to mind being cuddled so tightly by me. I bet he was a little scared by what happened. I would be too if I nearly died and didn't know what happened to cause it. The hour passes by pretty quickly, George gives Danny a hot chocolate and some cookies and we just watch videos on my phone to pass the time. Jorel says he has a change of clothes for Danny when we get back to the studio and we can wash the ones he currently has on when we get to Jorel's house later this afternoon.

I allow the rest of the guys to hug Danny tightly when we get back. George gave Danny his hoodie to make sure that he stays warm during the car journey back to the studio. I wasn't going to be jealous, they all treat him like the younger brother he is to them and it would be cruel for me to deny that after what happened a few hours ago. Jorel takes Danny to get him changed into some better clothes while we work on lyrics for a little while longer. It is nearly lunchtime now and I bet the guys were getting hungry now, I know I was. "Did he tell you what happened?" Jordon asks us, and we both shake our head. "He can't remember what happened, the doctor thinks he could have been jumped and either fell into a cold lake or fell into the snow and passed out for a while," George says.

We still don't know for sure what happened and it's going to be up to Danny to tell us if he remembers what happened to him. I will still support him regardless. Danny walks in and comes and sits on my lap this time. I wrap my arms around him and let him snuggle up with me. I kiss him on the cheek and he blushes. I miss his blushes, they make him just that little more adorable in my mind. He kisses my cheek when I wasn't paying attention and when I look at him he just smiles at me. Jordon says he is going to get everyone some hot food for lunch, we all need it with the weather outside taking a turn for the worst. It's started snowing again, Jorel looks to Danny who is snuggled up with me and doing fine now.

"Glad we already decided that today was going to be a sleepover, looks like the snow is back with a vengeance," Jorel says and Danny nods. I don't think anyone in their right mind would want to be out in this weather and the managers might send us home sooner than we thought. Jordon came back with all the food we had asked for. "Luckily shops are still open, they say they want to stay open for as long as they can to make sure the homeless outside get somewhere to stay warm and not get hypothermia," Jordon says, that is a real risk for the homeless around here. Living on the streets of Los Angeles is hard enough without the added risk of the snow. Jordon gives Danny his lunch first since he was a bit more worried about Danny after what happened this morning.

I was right, we got sent home at 1 o'clock, the manager was worried we would all be stuck here if the snow continued for much longer. This is rare for LA to have this much snow, but I ain't about to complain. We are going to enjoy our cosy evening in where we just watch movies and relax. George gives Danny his hoodie again to make sure that nothing bad happens. "You can keep it, you look better in it than I do," George says, before Danny even has the chance to say that he is giving it back when we get to Jorel's house. Danny just shrugs and smiles at George. We knew he appreciated the hoodie, he didn't have a coat as far as I know. I am gonna buy him one as an early Christmas present. It's going to be one suitable for this weather and when we next go to Russia in winter.

Danny's sitting next to me at Jorel's completely absorbed with the movie while I look at decent winter coats for him. George looked over my shoulder once and nodded. I think we all have a similar idea for getting my bear a coat to keep warm. "Surely he has a coat of his own?" George asks me, I was looking at all of the coats in Danny's typical style not my own. I shake my head, if he had a coat he would have been wearing it. "This morning probably wouldn't have happened if he did," I tell him, trying not to disturb Danny who was enjoying the film. I look to George who admits defeat, if Danny had a decent coat then we would not have spent over two hours in the emergency room with him today dealing with hypothermia.

"Ah yeah, you got me there," George says, and Danny looks at us with curiosity in his eyes. He reaches up and kisses me. "What are you talking about?" Danny asks, almost giving us both puppy eyes to encourage us to tell him. "Just looking at coats for you, so today doesn't happen again," I tell him, being one hundred percent honest with him. I think it is better for our relationship if I keep being honest with him. He has had a few bad relationships in the past (not Theresa though), so he finds it hard to open up like that. I am hoping if I open up to him then he will open up to me a little more. It might work eventually. "Yeah, definitely need a new coat," Danny says, at least he agrees with me. I don't think he is that inclined to disagree with me on it. He would hate a repeat of day as much as everyone else in the room would.

"You can chose one if you see one you like more than what I might think," I tell him, it will make it easier for me to just have Danny chose one then to spend ages picking one myself then finding out that it is not the right one. I let him scroll through my browser and order the one he wants, he does worry a little about spending my money, but since this is a gift for him I don't mind how much it will cost me. As long as there is never ever a repeat of earlier then I should be fine. I hated holding him in my arms feeling like he was moments away from dying on me. Danny squeezes my hand after I let him make the order. "I'm sorry for worrying you," he tells me, and I kiss the top of his head again. He's so precious. "It's okay Danny, it was not your fault. I just don't want to lose you," I tell him.

Jorel made everyone dinner and we all watched movies before one by one we went to bed. Well, Danny fell asleep on the couch in my arms first, then Matt and Jordon went to bed followed by Jorel who trusts us to not make a mess of his house. Then George carries Danny up to bed for me when I want to go and then he goes to bed himself. I like evenings like this where no drama happens and the six of us just get time to hang out and forget about our worries for a little while. I snuggle up to Danny and he hugs me back in his sleep. This is so cute I can't wait until we have been together for long enough for us to make that move in together step. I want to sleep with him every night and wake up in his arms.

1 year later – Danny p.o.v

It has been so hard keeping this secret from all of the guys. Especially last year when I got hypothermia and they started asking questions. I could get kicked out, but that would not be the first time that happened to me. I'm currently staying at Justin's house, but I know it's not going to be for too much longer and I'll be back where I was before. I have been homeless for nearly two years now and I just have not had the courage to tell the guys to get them to help me out because being kicked out does not look good when you are trying to get a new place yourself. "Dan, what are you going to do? I can't stand to see you in the streets again, but you need a better living situation than my couch," Justin asks, we have been friends since I was young, so he does care he is not being mean.

"I don't know, probably go back to where you found me. I think I'd be jobless, single and homeless still if I told the guys what's going on," I tell him. I am on his couch hugging my legs. He knows pretty much everything that has gone on in my life and he's waiting for me to come clean to the guys and I just have been a bit weak and too afraid to do it just yet with the fears that I have. He touches my back and I look at him. "The guys seem more accepting than you think they are. All you have to do is sit down and talk with them about it," Justin says, and he is right. We have some interviews this week and we have time in between where I can ask if one of the guys will let me either stay with them or move in and I'll pay my share of the rent. All I want is a safe and secure roof over my head, and I can't get one right now.

"Yeah I guess, I just always over worry about these things I guess. Who would want the frontman of their band to be homeless," I tell him. Justin is leaving town in a couple of days and as much as he loves me like a brother and trusts me to keep his house clean I know I can't stay for safety reasons. I don't love him any less for it, it might be the one thing that makes me come clean to the band and get my situation solved for once. It would be better than bottling it all up and Dylan might have mention us moving in together once or twice. "They'd fixed that so that you wouldn't be homeless anymore. If you feel too uncomfortable talking about it, I could always mention it to George and get him to start the conversation with you. With what happened last year I doubt they would want you on the streets again," he tells me.

He's right again, they all panicked when I arrived at the studio a year ago and basically collapsed with hypothermia and they rushed me to ER and prayed to J3T that I would make it through that. That evening Dylan made me get a winter coat on his account and made sure that whenever we were together that I was warm. They all made sure the studios we were in were warm during the rest of winter and this winter so far, so it is safe to say they have not forgotten what happened. "Yeah, if I can't tell them myself soon I might ask for help telling them," I tell him, earning myself a tight hug and I smile from Justin. I hug him back, but I struggle to smile as much as he was, and he rubbed my shoulder.

"I know this is stressful for you Danny, but just know that we can get through this. I can help you get through this," he tells me, and I nod. I know I will get help eventually, it is just a matter of me being able to ask for it. For now I guess I just have to be homeless until I get that courage. "I just wish that landlord was not such an asshole and it would not have damaged my ability to find somewhere new so badly," I tell him. He kicked me out without warning, no reason as to why and keeps making up bullshit as to why I was apparently such a shit tenant. I paid my rent on time, kept the house spotless and everything. I was every part the perfect tenant for him and yet he still decided to kick me out onto the streets.

I text Dylan and I was debating confessing to him right now, but I decide against it. I still have a roof over my head for now, when it becomes a problem I might go do it. I'll make sure they know eventually though. Dylan was happy that I was spending some time with Justin, because I know I had a bad friendship with them when I first joined the band. Well, I was like brothers with everyone in Lorene Drive then there was a little spat and now we are all friends again which is good. I don't think I could cope not being friends with them anymore. They have been with me through so much and I have paid them back for that. And now Justin is helping me out once again, to be fair though I have been buying the groceries and stuff, so I am not mooching off him completely.

"Again with the groceries Danny! I was gonna buy all these," I hear Justin shout as I am in the middle of texting Dylan again. He said he wanted no payment for giving me a roof over my head, but I couldn't help it. I had to do something to say thank you to him. Even if it was buy his weekly groceries while he wasn't aware of it. "Yeah well I was there, and I had your list memorised, so I thought I might as well get it done," I tell him, and he hugs me. nothing but brotherly love between Justin and I much to Dylan's relief. He can get a little jealous at times. "Thank you Danny," he tells me and I smile.

2 weeks later – Danny p.o.v

I'm hiding behind a dumpster with the coat on that Dylan got me, rubbing my hands to warm them up without being spotted. They are gonna find out this week whether I like it or not. Dylan definitely will because there is no way I can hide how cold I feel today. I am meeting him at a café in a little bit, I wanna head there early and get a drink to warm up first to see what happens. I manage to get to our date location without being seen and order myself a hot chocolate before settling myself into a corner. I look at my phone to see I have half an hour left before Dylan arrives. I told him I would meet him here so that way he would not find out I am currently homeless without me telling him that I am. The hot chocolate was so good, and I felt myself feeling warmer as I wait for Dylan to get here.

"Hey Danny," Dylan tells me, I was in our usual spot so it didn't take him long to find me at all. I stand up so that he can hug and kiss me then I sit down and smile at him. "Hey Dyl," I tell him. He knows what we usually get so he goes to put the order through while I sit and wait where I am. I feel nervous, but I am sure everything will be fine in the end, just like Justin keeps telling me it will be. I just need to come clean, maybe Dylan will initiate it because there have been some things that would ring alarm bells for him. He comes back with the drinks and says that the food will be here soon. I take my drink and put it down and he grabs hold of my hand and I look into his eyes. "What's wrong Dyl?" I ask him.

He doesn't really hold my hand like this which is a little worrying, but at the same time it feels good to have some couple time with him. "Why don't I get to come over to your house anymore? It's been almost two years since any of us have gone there," Dylan asks, and that was the question that I have been waiting for. It was the one question I was sure that they would have asked me this by now. I look down, trying to hide the tears about to fall. I am so embarrassed by what happened two years ago. "Danny?" he asks, and I look at him and sigh. I want to tell him, but all my fears are back forcing me to stay silent. "It's because I have no home," I tell him, my voice very quiet and he probably only just heard me.

"Why didn't you tell me bear? I could give you one," he tells me, walking over to sit right besides me. "I was too afraid to tell you even after it cause hypothermia a year ago. I was too scared that you'd dump me and then the guys would kick me out of the band," I admit, feeling like a huge weight has just been lifted off my chest. He hugs me tightly and I nearly burst into tears, but I stay strong for my own sake. "No one would do that, I won't tell them either unless you want me to. Come move in with me and I will get you everything you need," he tells me. I feel so grateful if he is going to do that for me. I'd love to have a home with Dylan, I barely own anything myself right now, but I have the money all saved up for it.

"I don't want to tell them, it's best if they didn't know. I will move in with you though," I tell him, and his eyes light up. The food arrives which cuts our conversation a little short, but I know we will pick it back up once she has gone. "That's good, once we are done here we can buy all the clothes and things you will need and then go back to ours," he tells me, with a wink at the end. I liked how he said ours, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. "Sounds good to me, I think I'll like staying at our house," I tell him, and he grins. He likes it as much as I do, and it's just naturally fallen into place despite the downside of me being homeless for the last two years. That's all going to change now, I have a home to go back to.

Dylan held my hand tightly as we walked out, we were just going to go to a few shops, get myself some personal belongings that I no longer have and that I desperately need. It doesn't take us long and we don't see any of the others which I have a little bit of mixed feelings about. "I'll give you privacy to shower while I sort the closet out with all your new stuff," Dylan says, as we head back to the car to go to our house. I am quickly getting used to this, calling it our house and just moving in with Dylan in general. It is like we are meant to be doing this at this stage. "Thanks, been a little while since I had a decent hot shower. I've been to homeless shelters and I've showered, and it's always been cold," I tell him, not in any way complaining about it, it could have been a lot worse.

An hour later I am back with Dylan and we are snuggling in our living room. It felt so good to know I have a roof over my head for the foreseeable future. "So glad to know that you are safe now. I can understand why you said back then you couldn't remember what happened. I get the emotional burden that you would have over being homeless and the potential shame that comes with it, but I will always support you and always give you a roof over your head," he tells me, and this was one of the reasons why I think he deserves a trophy for putting up with me. I can't quite get over how supportive he has been despite only knowing about this for a few short hours. He could have refused and left me over this.

I kiss him on the lips and he kisses me back. "I love you so much Dylan, thank you for helping me," I tell him. He hugs me, and I just relax, I have not been able to relax like this for a long time and I have definitely missed this. "Did Justin let you stay for a little bit?" Dylan asks me, and I nod. "He was also going to tell you guys if I did not tell you today," I tell him, and he smiles at me. He's probably going to thank Justin for giving me that roof over my head for the beginning of winter. "I'll have to thank him later for looking after my bear. It should have been my job, but I was a bit late with that," he tells me, and I shake my head. I love him so much and he can be such a dork sometimes. It was my fault for being too ashamed to talk about it.

"You're not late at all Dyl, I never spoke about it to anyone other than Justin until today. Not even my mom knows I was homeless until today. I was too ashamed to speak about it, like who has a homeless lead singer in their band you know?" I tell him. I love being able to be this open with him. He hugs me tightly. "Yeah, I get it. We would never have kicked you our and you would have only been homeless for as long as you didn't tell us, like today," Dylan says, I am so grateful that he understands what I am trying to say. I yawn and snuggle up to him some more, the streets are so dangerous that I have not slept properly outside of tours and sleepovers with the guys. I feel Dylan play with my hair, we are still waiting for pizza for dinner.

"You tired there Dan?" he asks me, and I nod. I will probably tell him that I have barely slept but I think he can work that one out on his own. "After pizza we can go straight to bed if you would like," he tells me, and I nod. I would normally decline but I am so tired right now and bed sounds pretty nice right now. "I think bed sounds good, sorry I am just so tired" I tell him, and he kisses the top of my head just as the doorbell rings. "It's okay bear, wouldn't have suggested it if it wasn't something I'd be happy with," he says, then gets up to answer the door to Jorel who had taken the pizza and paid for it as well. "Oh hey Danny," he says, and gives me my pizza box since we ordered two personal pizzas. "Hey Jay," I reply.

"Danny and I are living together now, finally decided to make that step," Dylan says, I don't think Jorel would question why I would spent an evening with my boyfriend, but I was happy he said it regardless. "Nice one," Jorel says, feeling happy for us. I was grateful that Dylan has an excuse to cover the real reason why I am staying with him permanently now. We ate pizza and enjoy watching movies and Jorel leaves when our third movie ended. I was getting pretty tired and Dylan notices. He nudges me and we both head to bed where I fall asleep next to him with his arms wrapped around me tightly.

And that is the end of another one shot, hope everyone enjoyed.
