Author's Note (Monster): Enjoy

Danny went to bed early again. It makes the others wonder why he would always go to bed around 6 pm and still be awake when they'd go to bed. Funny Man was smoking a cigarette inside. J-Dog had just returned with Johnny. Charlie was still punishing Da Kurlzz with the silent treatment because of the shoe he threw out.

It was around 9 pm when J-Dog came sitting next to Funny Man that the real things started happening. First of all the Mexican kept checking the door to the bunks part before relaxing and cracking jokes with the others. They noticed but no one said anything about it. They thought it was one of his typical nights where he was paranoid about the weed he had that day. It wasn't.

J-Dog leaned back and took a swing on his bottle. Around 11 pm Johnny and Charlie said good night. They shared some laughs at the coincidence of them going to bed at the same time. They joked about them getting in one bunk and doing some nasty things. The two laughed along before saying good night for the second time. Da Kurlzz went to bed shortly after.

When J-Dog was left alone with the Mexican, he decided to take his shot in the dark. "Funny?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you really a virgin?" J-Dog asked softly.

Funny Man rolled his eyes. "Yes. Is it really that hard to believe?"

"No, but I'd be careful, man. A lot of people are out to get rarities like you", the rapper warned.

That caught his attention. He turned his head sideways and frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Has Danny…?"

"What? No!"

"No, I mean. He's acting weird according to you, right?"

Funny Man bit his lower lip and smoked the rest of his cigarette nervously. "Yeah."

"It's not just you, man. Danny IS acting weird. I've known the kid for a long time, longer than you. I've known him for I guess four years now? I know things about him", J-Dog explained. He bent forward and leaned his elbows on his knees. "He's really one of my best friends and he told me…things."

The baritone voiced rapper scoffed but J-Dog looked him dead in the eye. "You know what kind of things?"

"What?"

"He's pretty much fucking fifty shades of Danny inside", the eldest told with a cynical grin plastered on his face. He rubbed his hands together. "He's messed up."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because you're his fucking type, man. He can't control himself in front of his fucking type. That's why he's acting weird. He's after you!" J-Dog growled.

Funny Man opened his mouth, then closed it again. "Well, I guess I already know that."

"What?"

"I bet Danny doesn't just ambush anyone", he awkwardly said.

The other widened his eyes. "What exactly did he do?"

"Nothing! Just a kiss. Honestly!"

"Did you initiate it?"

"No, he did."

"Forcefully?"

"Yeah, but I didn't exactly resist", the Mexican explained, using his hands to try and visualize what he was trying to tell, but it didn't exactly help him. It rather seemed to make him seem nervous.

"So you and Danny kissed?"

"Yeah", Funny replied.

J-Dog sighed. "Don't give in to him, Funny. He's sneaky and dark inside. There's nothing but darkness inside that boy when we're talking about his interest."

"But wait, Jay. He's fifty shades of Danny how?"

"You know."

"Like the books and movie?"

"Yeah."

"Bondage? An unhealthy dominant and submissive relationship that insults true BDSM?" Funny Man asked skeptically.

J-Dog chuckled. "How do you even know all that?"

"I guess I'm a hater. You think he's like that? Like mr. Grey?"

The older one rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Not a mister Grey, but he's not after you for a romantic relationship, dude. He's trying to 'unholy' you."

Funny Man glared at him. "Why would you say that? He hasn't even come close to that! I won't even let him!"

"I'm telling you. He's losing interest as soon as he's in your boxers."

"No, fuck off, Jay. You're just jealous because he's got his eyes fixed on me."

"Like hell I am. I've got a girlfriend!"

"Then stop trying to ruin it for me", the Mexican bit.

J-Dog moaned annoyed. "I swear I'll… Fine. Since when are you so into Danny anyway?"

"I'm not!"

"Yeah you are! You're defending him right now", J-Dog complained.

Funny Man pouted. "Fine, I guess I kinda maybe see him in a different light than before."

"He's intriguing, isn't he? He's just such a mystery, right?"

"He is. I just don't get why I like him so much out of nowhere."

"Because he kissed you."

"I've been kissed before. It didn't make me like everyone I kissed."

"Well, Danny's got a certain charm I guess or his lips are doused in aphrodisiac", J-Dog muttered before getting up to hit the sack. Funny Man remained on the couch for a bit. Danny's lips were pure poison, not aphrodisiac. Just thinking back of their kiss made him grow restless. Instead of pondering so much he decided to go to bed.

He brushed his teeth and looked in the mirror. He seemed sleep deprived. He shook the thought off and crawled underneath the warm blanket of his bunk. His back was turned to the outer world.

He closed his eyes and couldn't help but see Danny's silhouette in the darkness of his own mind. He was just looking around but when he turned to Funny, the Mexican shot his eyes open. He moved uneasily in his bed. That wasn't even a dream. He was just seeing things because his mind was thinking too much about the lead singer. Why? Was he in love? No way. Love didn't feel like this. Love wasn't the same as fear. What time was it anyway? Funny took out his phone, squinted his eyes at the bright light of his phone and sighed. He looked up and almost hit his head against the roof of his bunk when he saw Danny's predator eyes on him. "Jesus, Danny!"

"What?"

"Don't stare at me when I'm sleeping", The Mexican expressed.

"I'm not. I was in thoughts", he explained with a distance stare.

Funny Man got up. "Why are you awake?"

"I could ask you the same."

"Why do you always avoid questions about yourself?"

When he didn't reply, Funny Man sighed in frustration. "Stop playing with me, Danny. I don't like this game."

Did he? Did he not love the attention the lead singer was giving him?

"It's not a game."

"Really? Cause you sure make me feel like I'm just Player 1 in your game", Funny Man scowled.

He thought he misheard but Danny softly murmured. "You're Player 2."
