Danny wiped his hands on a towel as he walked to his front door. He threw it back into the kitchen, before pulling on the handle, revealing Aiden on his step.
Before he even got a polite 'hey' out, a small pizza box was thrust into his chest. "Don't say I never give you anything" Aiden deadpanned
"Oh, you shouldn't have" He grinned, stepping to the side for her to pass. Danny shut the door and pulled open the lid. "It's got anchovies!"
"Yep, loads of 'em" she grinned. She'd asked for a special recipe of 'pepperoni, and don't skimp on the anchovies. He hates 'em…so pile them on'
Danny shook his head. He understood it was his punishment. "er, thanks"
"Anytime" Aiden smiled, flopping onto his couch.
"Pasta'll be ready any minute" he called, making his way back to the kitchen. Aiden had been to his apartment lots of times for end-of-shift drinks, and general drinks, so he had no worries that she'd make herself at home.
"Awesome. I'm so hungry"
"I thought you were at the hut?"
"I was…but Omar was hungry"
Danny's head popped out from the other room, "He ate the pizza?"
"I got one slice"
Forcing back a grin, Danny disappeared again. "So I basically saved your life then"
Aiden chuckled, trust Danny to turn this about him. "I wouldn't say that, but I sure as hell am thankful for your text"
"How thankful?" he asked, grinning his little sideways smile.
"That depends" Aiden announced. She'd walked into the kitchen and was just behind him when he asked his typically probing question. Seeing him jump from her voice made her giggle.
"Jeez! Don't sneak up on people like that!"
"A little jumpy are we?"
"I always am when I'm cooking for a beautiful woman" he sassed, placing two bowls of tomato and basil pasta on the set table.
"Ahhh" she smiled, shaking her head at the corny comeback. "That looks so good". Aiden went to pull one of the chairs back for her to sit down, but Danny grabbed at her hand before she could touch it.
"I said I'd show you what a real date was like" he relayed, pulling at the chair himself
"Danny-"
"Na" he shushed her. "Your seat" he announced, gesturing animatedly.
She chuckled, taking the seat. Danny spun back around. When he came back to face her, he had a white towel over one arm, and a bottle of red wine in his hand. "Would the lady care for some vino?"
"If the sir cares to drop the accent?"
"I can do that" He nodded, scrunching his face in agreement as he poured her a glass.

"Danny, you did yourself proud" Aiden smiled, setting her fork across the empty bowl.
"I try" he smiled humbly, also setting his fork across his own empty bowl. "Grab your drink, and we'll see what's on the box"
Aiden obliged and followed Danny back into the lounge area, reclaiming her place on the couch. She leant her booted her feet on the edge of the coffee table, mirroring Danny's.
Danny flicked through the channels, finally settling on a college basketball game.
It only had 1 minute left on the clock, and was tied in score.
"Bet ya $10 Greenbay win" Danny said, leaning over slightly to touch Aiden's shoulders with his own
"You're on"
In the dying seconds, a player from the opposite team scored a 3-point shot. The buzzer sounded. Aiden won.
She grinned as she held her hand out waiting for a ten-dollar bill to grace her palm.
"Lucky shot" Danny mumbled, reaching into his pocket and pulling out his wallet.
"Don't hate the player" Aiden smirked, folding the money and placing it in her bra strap.
"Yeah yeah" he mumbled again, flicking through the channels a second time. "ooo, a cop show"
"I can't believe you watch those. They're so inaccurate"
"That's why I watch 'em. I bet ya 10 bucks he doesn't even wear gloves" he chuckled, gesturing to the 'cop' on the TV.
"Nah-ah, I'm keeping this ten bucks, but I will take your bet, but I'm gonna make it interesting" she smirked rising from the couch and disappearing into the kitchen.
"Aid?"
She reappeared with a bottle in one hand and two shot glasses in the other, "Tequila!"
X
"I can't believe we went through half a bottle of Tequila in one show!" Aiden slurred, downing her last shot. She grimaced slightly as the liquid burned at her throat
"That's why I watch 'em"
"What we gonna do now?" She asked, gesturing to the end titles rolling on the screen and the empty bottle in the middle of the table.
Danny shrugged. His eyes closed as he buried his head deeper into the back of the sofa. Suddenly he sat up, "Truth or dare?"
"What are you? 12?"
"No, I'm drunk and that's all I can think of doing"
Aiden eyed him suspiciously, "Alright, but I get to ask first"
"Fine"
"So…? Truth or dare? Whoa, major flashback to 7th grade"
Danny chuckled before saying "Dare"
Aiden looked into the distance, before setting her eyes back on Danny, "You have to go the liquor store next door and get another bottle of Tequila"
"That's it!" he asked, standing up, "I have to say, I'm disappointed in you, Aiden"
"Wearing no pants" she added with a grin
"That's my girl" he grinned back. Danny stumbled over his door, and grabbed his wallet from the table. He popped it in his shirt pocket, before taking a breath and dragging his zipper down. He kicked his pants off and threw them back at Aiden.
She gave a cry of "Woooo!" before the trousers landed on her head.

"One bottle of your finest Tequila please"
"You know you're not wearing pants right?"
"I hadn't noticed that, thanks for pointing it out"
"Whatever dude, $13.95"
Danny paid the man.
"Gotta say, I'm glad your wallet was in your pocket"

Danny made his way back up the stairs to his apartment. His foot slipped a couple of times on the step, sending him crashing into the hard surface, but he got back up, steadied himself against the wall, checked the Tequila was okay, and carried on his way.
Reaching his door, he dug into his pocket to find the keys, instead his hand slid along the material to his boxers. "Aiden!"
"Quit your hollering" Aiden giggled when she opened the door. Danny had decided to lean against it and came tumbling in, narrowly missing his guest. "Easy there, Tiger" she giggled, helping him to straighten up.
"Its funny how a bit of cold air can really help the drink to hit you" Danny mentioned, before holding up the bottle and grinning, "Task completed"
Aiden closed the door while Danny hobbled his way back to the couch. She poured two more shots as he got back into his pants, before they both collapsed back onto the cushions. Aiden got comfortable and sat facing her host, bringing her leg under her.
They tapped glasses and swallowed the hazel liquid in one go.
"Alright" Danny started, still grimacing "Truth or Dare?"
"Dare" She smirked
"Proud" he chuckled. His face contorted in thought as he came up with a perfect dare…maybe something with the same treatment as he got: public nudity…..nah, he wouldn't do that to Aiden….
All of the dares he could think of were quickly rejected as he thought of the ramifications for the one who had to actually do them.
"C'mon Danny! Give me something!"
"er….erm…."he shrugged. Then it hit him. "aha! You, my dear Aiden, you're dare should you chose to accept it, which you already have but never mind, it that you have to act like Mrs. Anderson" A huge grin broke out across his face as he sat back into the couch, crossing his legs by resting his ankle on his knee and spreading his arms across the back.
"Mrs. Anderson? You mean from that S&M case a few weeks back?"
Danny nodded
"I'm not nearly drunk enough for that yet" she scoffed
"Who said anything about S&M?"
"You just did!"
"No, I said you had to act like Mrs. Anderson, nothing about tying to you a chair or something, although…."
"No" she confirmed with a 'Men!' smirk. "So how do I act like Mrs. Anderson without the whips and whatnot?"
"You're really not getting this are you?" he sat forward, clasping his hands at his knees
"Getting what?"
"Okay, but I did leave it up to your choice, but you're just not getting the dare…"
"Danny?"
Danny snaked his hand around the back of Aiden's neck and brought her closer to him, finally touching his lips to hers.
Aiden was still in shock at first. She wasn't sure if the Tequila had finally kicked in and she was hallucinating. She didn't reciprocate until she felt Danny loosen his grip on her lips and move away slightly. That was when he inched forward and attacked Danny's lips with her own.
Now it was Danny's turn for shock. It took a second before he realised that Aiden was actually kissing him back. In fact, she was pushing him back into the couch side and manoeuvring herself so that she was lying on top of him.
With one hand still around her neck, pulling her lips even closer to his, the other began to snake around her body. It danced across her back, moving from her side, to the small of her back, and to the other side, so he was in effect hugging her.
Aiden's hands were gripping at Danny's hair, scratching at his scalp slightly, gladly getting tangled into his dirty blonde locks.
As they eventually pulled back for air, Aiden brought her hands to Danny's side and propped herself up. She looked down at his perplexed face, as he straightened out his glasses. "Task completed".
