This was from Shiptember 2021 but I'm just uploading it now oops. Prompt was first date.
"Ugh!" Danny groaned as he threw another shirt to his growing pile. "None of these are working!"
"Dude, they all look fine to me. Just pick one!" Tucker picked some lint off his shirt.
"I can't just pick one! It has to be perfect!" Danny pulled on another button up shirt.
Tucker sighed and slid off Danny's bed and onto the floor. "It's just a date."
Danny almost tore his shirt in half in anxiety when Tucker said that. "But it's Sam! And it's our first date! If it goes wrong she'll suck me in the thermos and throw me down a well or worse - never talk to me again!"
Yes, Casper High's lovebirds finally got together. Surprisingly enough, it was Danny who made the first move. Sure, he was nervous and had some encouragement from Tucker (and Jazz and Clockwork and just about every ghost or human who would listen to his anxious rambling), who assured Danny that his friendship with Sam would most likely be okay no matter what happened, but he finally asked Sam out. Sam was cautiously optimistic (she wanted to be sure it wasn't a prank) but finally said yes. And Danny has been a nervous wreck ever since. He asked her out two days ago, and Tucker's patience was being tested.
"Interesting how you think her not talking to you is worse than being trapped in the thermos forever. But exactly. It's Sam. She likes you for you. Just be yourself, you'll be fine," Tucker reassured his best friend for about the twentieth time in the past 5 minutes alone.
"But myself isn't good enough for her! She's so pretty and smart and kind and strong and she has a good heart and she has my back and oh god have you seen her with the Fenton Bazooka? It's so hot and -"
"La la la don't want to hear that!" Tucker put his hands over his ears.
"Well she is! And I'm just dopey Danny Fenton," Danny sighed and plopped down on the floor next to Tucker.
"Dude, that's one of the things she loves about you. She knows who you are. You guys have been best friends for years. You know everything about each other already. It'll just be like hanging out, but with kissing or something." Tucker patted Danny supportively on the shoulder.
"I guess…I just don't want to disappoint her."
"You won't. Trust me. I know you guys will have a great time and you're perfect for each other."
Danny's face twisted into a goofy smile, "you think so?"
Tucker snorted, "everyone and their parrot thinks so and has for years. Including Sam."
Danny exhaled in relief. "Okay good." He stood up and reached for another shirt in his closet.
"Just go with the light blue one. It matches your eyes. She'll love that." Tucker dug his phone out of his pocket after it vibrated.
Danny looked at Tucker in bewilderment then shrugged and put on the aforementioned shirt. He quickly buttoned it up and stood in front of Tucker, bouncing up and down anxiously. "I think this is the one. I feel ready. I can do this. It's all good from here on out."
Tucker rolled his eyes at the text he got from Sam asking for his help choosing an outfit for tonight. She and Danny were definitely made for each other. He shot her a quick response saying he'd be over in ten, and looked up at Danny. "You missed a button," he pointed out.
Danny looked down and groaned. "Fuck!"
—
Danny wiped his sweaty palm off on his pants and took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell. He tried shooing away a bee that was trying to get at the lilies he bought for Sam, but the bee kept coming back.
"No! These are for Sam, not you!" He held the bouquet of flowers over his head thinking it would be out of reach for the bee, then started whipping the bouquet in the air, the bee following the flowers in every creative direction Danny could think of. "Stupid bee! You're gonna ruin everyth- ow! The little fucker stung me! I'll show you…" He began to form an ecto ball in his hand before he realized the front door was open, and had been for quite some time. Sam was leaning against the door frame, arms crossed and trying to suppress a giggle. She was so cute. "Um…hi. How long have you been standing there?"
"Oh no, please don't stop on my account. Want to introduce me to your friend?" Sam smirked as she pushed herself up from the door frame so she was fully standing.
Danny rubbed the back of his neck and held the flowers out. "These are for you!" He yelled a little too loudly. Danny narrowed his eyes when he noticed the bee on one of the flowers and let out a low growl.
"Thanks!" Sam grabbed the flowers, blowing gently on the one with the bee (which promptly flew away in response). She admired the flowers with a smile on her face. "Wow, you remembered my favorite flower." She signaled a butler to put the flowers in a vase and grabbed her purse. "Are you ready to go?"
Danny stood there stupidly. He was just staring at her. She looked so pretty. Her hair was down and in loose curls, lavender eyeshadow and black lipstick adorned her face, and she was wearing a simple black sundress that fit her like a glove until the skirt flowed out. The dress landed mid thigh - which is where Danny's eyes stopped. He couldn't believe she was this dressed up for him. He was so lucky! His goth goddess was showing off her sexy long legs for him and he couldn't help but think about how amazing they would feel wrapped around his waist while he loved on her and-
"Danny! My eyes are up here, babe." Sam smiled smugly.
Danny blushed as his eyes returned to her face. "You look amazing! So pretty-gorgeous! Your legs and your face and wow!"
Sam laughed at his babbling as a small blush dusted her cheeks as well. "Thanks. You look really handsome too. That shirt really brings out your eyes."
Danny smiled and noted he would have to thank Tucker for that one. Sam turned around and locked her door, and Danny took the opportunity to admire how amazing that dress made her backside look too.
He wiped off his sweaty palm again and grabbed her hand before immediately letting go. "Sorry! Is that okay? Friends don't do that but I guess we aren't friends anymore and no not like that I mean we aren't just friends anymore because we're dating you actually said yes to me and we're going on a date and you look amazing! Nice boobs, I MEAN BOOTS! Well, your boobs look nice too but it's not like that's your only asset, and speaking of ass,"
Sam busted out laughing and somehow refrained from ruining her makeup with her tears. "Oh my god, I can't believe I was nervous about this!"
