Author's Note (Monster): Enjoy
"Are we going to ignore the elephant in the room?" Johnny nervously stated when everyone arrived for breakfast. Charlie looked up from his bowl of cereal, shooting his friend the most murderous glare he'd ever given anyone. "Shut up."
"No, seriously. What's going on? I wake up on the couch and Funny's in Danny's bunk?" Johnny expressed surprised.
J-Dog cleared his throat. "You got drunk and made out with Charlie."
"Fuck!" Johnny shouted, covering his face with his hands. "But what happened with Funny and Danny?"
"No one knows", Da Kurlzz replied in their place. "We came home and they were sound asleep."
Danny took a sip out of his orange juice. He didn't answer their questions. Neither did Funny Man. He didn't want to. Danny was ignoring him all morning. When they awoke, he didn't get a kiss. He got shoved out of the bunk and the lead singer rushed to the bathroom to take a shower.
Funny Man glanced over at the singer who finished his orange juice. He cleared his throat, involuntarily drawing the attention.
"So? What's up with you two?" Charlie asked.
"Don't pry", Da Kurlzz scolded him but even he was curious to find out what the two had been up to.
Danny shrugged, a truly careless way to discard the questions. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Come on, Danny. Funny ended up in your bed. Did you get to bone him?"
The singer flinched at the brash words. "Please, Charlie. I'd like it if you didn't refer to our private life like that."
"Fine, but are you guys together?" Johnny asked.
Funny Man gazed at Danny who avoided his eyes. "I'm not looking for anything serious but yes, we're together."
The Mexican widened his eyes and held back the urge to jump upright and do a happy dance. He gasped. "We are? I mean… We are!"
Danny offered a half smile to no one in particular while he held his empty glass in his hands. "But I don't believe in true love. It's just a mindless relationship in which we kinda like each other and don't want to be alone."
That was the most open he'd ever been with the baritone voiced rapper. Funny Man bit his lip. "You don't have to be alone. I'll always be with you!"
"Sure", Danny replied with a sigh.
After breakfast they each went their ways. Danny relaxed on the couch, turned on the television and checked if any of his series were on. Funny Man walked up to him. "Can I join you?"
The singer raised an eyebrow. "No."
"Why not? We're together?"
"Yes, but you're obviously going to start talking about last night."
"No, I'm not!"
Danny scooted over. "Then you can sit."
Funny Man sat down next to him. "But now that you brought it up…"
"Get out", Danny said, his voice harsh and his eyes threatening. "I mean it. Get out and leave me alone. You can come talk to me again when you've decided to drop it."
The Mexican folded his arms. "You're not the boss of me."
Danny got up. "Get the fuck out of my sight."
Funny Man got up. "O-ok. Just. Easy. I didn't mean to upset you."
"Too late. Go away. I don't want to see you for the next 24 hours."
The Mexican opened his mouth but closed it again. "Fine."
He walked away, trying to process what just happened. He sat down in the front part next to J-Dog who glanced at him. "So. You gave in to Danny?"
"Can we not talk about Danny?"
"Why not? He's your boyfriend."
"Just please, Jay. We're friends, right? Please do me a favor and shut up about Danny", Funny Man begged.
J-Dog nodded. "Fine. I won't talk about him."
Charlie exited the bathroom, spotted his virgin friend on the couch. "Ah! Look who we have here. The stained maiden."
The Mexican tensed. "I didn't have sex with Danny."
"Yet", Charlie winked and flopped down next to him. "I bet the two of you are gonna have lots of little Danny's and Funny's."
"Dude, you read too much fanfiction", Da Kurlzz reacted.
Johnny scrunched his nose. "Male pregnancy makes me cringe."
"Me too", Charlie laughed but he looked at Funny Man. "I'm serious though. I think Danny is your true love. The two of you will be together forever!"
Funny Man sighed. When Charlie put an arm around his shoulder, he smacked it off. "Stop."
"What? You like him, don't you?"
"I do, but please, just stop", Funny Man begged. "It's not like that."
"So you're not in a relationship?"
"We are but I made him angry with me and he doesn't want to see me right now. This relationship is over before it's started", the Mexican said before he ran away to his bunk, bumping into Danny and closed the curtains on them.
The singer dropped his gaze, his frozen heart not even twitching at the pained words he let out to the others. He sat down motionlessly next to Johnny who stared at him. "Are you angry with him? Is it really over already?"
Danny shrugged. "He's exaggerating. I told him I didn't want to see him for 24 hours and now he's blowing it up like I'm breaking up with him."
"So you're not splitting up?" Charlie asked confused.
The lead singer scoffed. "No. If we were, I'd make it pretty damn sure he heard me correctly instead of just thinking we were."
"Then why don't you tell him you're not breaking up?" J-Dog asked.
Danny shrugged. "Because I burst out on him. Backing away on my punishment would make him think he could get away with anything."
"That is true", Johnny stated.
The five of them went out to get something to eat. Funny Man didn't feel like coming along. He remained in his bunk for the rest of the day. Danny turned in early as usual because of his insomnia. Funny Man looked down at his bunk. He got up and attempted to get in with him but Danny told him not to. "The 24 hours aren't over yet."
"But I didn't see you for a hole day", Funny Man whined.
"Don't whine. It's not attractive", was all what Danny said before he turned his back to him and closed the curtain.
The Mexican grumbled and crawled back into his own bunk. So much for being together. Their first day as a couple already went completely wrong. He hated it. He hated the stupid feelings he held for such a mean, masochistic idiot. Didn't he show vulnerability last night?
