Danny POV

I heard Phantom chuckling at me while I was trying to get my book of Astronomy back.

"Give it back, Phantom!" I said in a threatening tone.

It only made Phantom laughed a bit and said, "Why should I~? You're too cute when you're like this, babe~."

I blushed at his comment, but that didn't work at all.

"Just give it back, please," I pleaded.

Phantom made the 'Let-Me-Think' pose and simply said, "Nope!"

I groaned and left the living room and up to my room.

Once I got there, I facepalmed myself with my bed and groan.

Why does he always do this to me? I thought, not wanting to look at Phantom at all.

Knowing Phantom, he probably followed me to my room without any consent.

And I was right.

He did follow me and chuckling.

"Aw, why are you like this, babe~? I want to see your pretty face~," I heard Phantom said, making me blush.

But of course, I wouldn't let him see it.

"Alright, alright. I've been too teasing for you. Here's your book," Phantom said while sitting down at the bed.

I didn't bother turning towards him, making him irritated.

"C'mon, Danny. Look, I'm sorry, okay? You know-"

"How much my blushing personality especially means to you. Yeah, yeah, I know," I said.

I turned to him and grabbed the book quickly so that he didn't have to see my face.

However, he held my chin before I turned and said, "You're mine, you know that, right?"

My face blush more, and it made Phantom lightly chuckle.

"Is this some type of form for flirting with yourself?" I blurted out accidentally.

That made Phantom stop and looked into my eyes.

After the extend of uncomfortable silence, I heard Phantom sighed and said, "Kind of? But only I get to do that, okay?"

I nodded out of annoyance and let Phantom kissed me.

It was short and gentle, unlike those other times when he kissed me roughly, and I kinda like that roughness.

"I gotta go, you know how ghosts are at night. See you later, my raven~," Phantom said before letting me go.

After he left, I blushed furiously.

Why does he always do that?! I thought, not wanting to see Phantom sooner than later.

Time skip, three hours later

Phantom POV

I went back to Danny's house after a ghost fight with Johnny and his shadow yet again.

To be honest, I already sick and tired of them wasting my time just for Johnny to blow off some steam.

Though, after the battle, Sam made a flirty comment, and that made me and Tucker feel uncomfortable.

It took Sam a few minutes before figuring out what she said, and it soon turned into uncomfortable silence for us all.

We agreed never to mention this ever again, but knowing Danny, he'll probably ask us what's been eating us up, and that'll be a problem.

Once I got inside, I saw Danny still reading a book, but it was a comic one.

"Hey, how was it?" I heard Danny asked with no blush.

He must've gotten over it, I thought, shrugging.

"It's been fine, nothing much. Just Johnny and his stupid shadow pet," I said, not facing him.

"Something up. I know you, Phantom, and I know when you're hiding something. C'mon, tell me. Or do I have to call-"

"No!" I said, making him flinch.

"S-Sorry didn't mean it, " I apologized.

I gave out a groan and explained to Danny what happened.

I told about Sam's comment, and that was the mistake I shouldn't have made.

After I was done, I noticed that he was silent.

I got the idea and smirk while asking him if that really pissed him.

He looked startled but didn't bother saying anything since I was right.

"So, you didn't like Sam flirting with me, don't you, Danny?" I said while making him even more pissed.

I heard him huff and looked away.

Maybe I've gone too far, I thought, seeing this is the second time that I did this.

I grabbed his book out of his hand and then looked at his face.

"Look, I'm sorry, okay? But you've been too stubborn to actually do something for me," I started pointing out, remembering all the times that Danny didn't want to fight the ghost alongside me ever since something happened.

He looked away, and he was... shivering?

"I-It's because of your eyes, Phantom. They... they remind so much of him..."

It took a moment to finally figure out what Danny meant, and I was not pleased.

"I guess that's why you've been too scared to face me. I'm sorry, I guess the stress really got to me," I said, wishing no harm towards Danny.

"Please, don't turn into him, Phantom. I... I don't want this nightmare to become a reality," Danny pleaded with me, holding my hands.

I know he was terrified, and I know it'll be my fault if I ever touch Danny harshly.

"I try, my love," I said, kissing his forehead.

I carried him to our bed and hugged him tightly.

He snuggled up close to me with worried written all over his face.

"Please, don't turn into him, Phantom. I... I don't want this nightmare to become a reality." I really don't want to harm you, Danny. That I promised, I thought, fully falling asleep with him close to me.

By HIM, it means about Future Dark Danny Phantom (aka Dan Phantom)
