Danny P.O.V.
OK, this was getting annoying. English class just finished, and Sam has been avoiding me all day! I asked Tucker if he knows why, and he says it's because I didn't call her. That made sense; she didn't know that I wanted to ask her out in person. I felt stupid for hurting her like that. I was headed outside because I had study hall free, but Sam had PE instead of study hall today, with the other girls. As I walked past the girls' locker room, I heard something. I reached out with my senses and felt 2 presences in one the unoccupied lockers. "This is great Tuck!" I heard Mickey's voice whisper. "I know right?" Tucker whispered back. I shook my head and facepalmed.
I knocked on the door, and turned around. I heard the door open. "Something wrong?" the voice of Star asked. "I apologise if I'm disturbing you, but I thought you might like to know that there are 2 boys in an unoccupied locker." I told her. I could tell she exploded into an angry and embarrassed blush. "Thank you Dan." She said with anger and appreciation mixed in her voice. "No problem." I replied as I walked away. I could feel Tucker's and Mickey's fear flowing off of them as I heard them scream. I chuckled with an amused smile as I stopped at a bench outside and pulled out a gothic novel.
About 15 minutes later, Tucker came to meet me, sporting 2 black eyes, a fat lip, and few slap marks on his cheeks. "The phrase 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' comes to mind." I said to him with a kind smile, only to receive a glare in return. "That wasn't very nice." He said as he sat down. "It was nicer than letting you look at several girls with lecherous eyes." I responded. He just glared at me. I sighed. "I have respect for women kind, Tucker. Besides, haven't you seen Valerie naked already?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "You should have no need, much less desire to spy on other girls." I told him. He shook his head. "We haven't gotten past 2nd base with our shirts on." He told me as he crossed his arms. I laughed. "That's nothing to ashamed of." I told him. He just rolled his eyes and pulled out his PDA and played with it, while I went back to my book.
Lunch break came soon, and Valerie approached our bench, looking very angry. She sat down beside me. "Hello Dan." She greeted and pulled out her food. I smiled in response. Tucker looked at her, waiting for her to greet him. "What? No hello for the BF?" he asked. "Dan, please tell Tucker that he will be receiving the silent treatment for the foreseeable future." Valerie asked me as she ate. "Tucker, Valerie says you will be receiving the silent treatment for the foreseeable future." I said to Tucker, and he glared at me. "Come on Val, I-" he was interrupted by Valerie. "Also, please tell him that I do not wish for him to speak to me, and that he will not be getting any for a long, LONG time." Valerie said as she continued eating. "Tucker, Valerie says-" "I heard her!" Tucker exclaimed to me. He got up, grabbed his stuff and walked off. "Cockblocker…" he whispered under his breath, thinking I couldn't hear him. "I heard that!" I called after him. He looked at with wide eyes, and kept walking. "What did he say?" Valerie asked. "He called me a cockblocker." I responded, making Valerie glare in his direction.
School finished, and I still hadn't spoken to Sam all day. I decided to ambush her at her car. I made sure to get there before she did. As she approached her car door, I got up behind her and tapped her shoulder. She yelped in surprise and swung a punch at me, which I easily caught. "Nice, a little sloppy, but a good punch." I complimented. She glared at me, and withdrew her hand. "Dan, what the hell?" she asked angrily. "I could ask you the very same question, Sam." I responded. She looked at me and sighed. "I was embarrassed. I made a move, not realising you didn't me to." She said and turned around. I grabbed her arm. "That's not true. If you hadn't made a move then, I would've." I told her. She turned around and blushed. "I didn't call you because I thought it would be better to ask you out in person." I told her. "So, would you like to catch a movie or perhaps just coffee tomorrow, with me, say noon?" I asked her in a gentleman tone. "It is a holiday." I added. She blushed heavily. "I would like that very much." She responded, red as a tomato. I smiled, took her hand, and kissed it. "I look forward to it." I told her as I turned around and headed to my bike. As I drove off, I couldn't stop smiling. I had a date with my beloved. Tomorrow couldn't come soon enough.
Sam P.O.V. – Next day
After texting Dan my address, I waited in the living room for him to arrive. I just finished getting ready. Granny walked in while I was waiting. "Oh, what's with the outfit Sammy? Do you have a date?" she asked with a grin. I blushed and nodded. I was really proud of my outfit. I was wearing a black sleeveless shirt, black hot pants with dark blue skulls over the pockets, and black knee high boots with half-inch heels.
"Who's the lucky boy." Granny asked. "His name is Daniel Eidolon, but he goes by Dan." I answered, at that point, Dani teleported to the seat next to me. "Mommy's got a date?" She asked Granny, who nodded. "WHO?" She asked in excitement. "Dan." I whispered. "The guy who helped Desiree move on?" she asked, earning a nod from me. Before they could ask any more questions, the doorbell rang, much to my relief. I got up to answer it, but my mother beat me to it. "Oh no…" I muttered.
"Hello there, Mrs Manson, correct?" I heard Dan's voice asked. "Yes, may I ask who you are?" Mother asked. "Mother, he's here for me." I told her before they could continue. "Why?" she asked. "He's taking me out." I told her bluntly. Mother developed an angry look. "Sammy! You know your father and I have been looking for a husband for you! Someone who is successful, and worthy of a Manson!" she practically screamed. "He is worthy! And it's not because his guardian is as wealthy as us! It's because he has money, but not the stuck up attitude that usually comes with it! He is kind, sweet, smart, and he treats me with respect!" I yelled back. Granny chose this point to intervene.
"Sammy is quite right." She said. "If anybody would make a good husband for her, it would be Mr Eidolon." She said to Mother with a glare. Mother got a scared look, nodded, and skidded off in a hurry. "Some things don't change." Dan said with a chuckle. I then remembered Dan saying he knew Granny. "How have you been Daniel?" Granny asked. "I have been very well thank you Ida." He said as he hugged her. "How do you 2 know each other?" I asked in complete surprise at how friendly they were. "I was in New York a few years ago, and met Daniel." Granny explained. "Ida helped me get some work for my guardian done." Dan added. "We got along quite well while she was there." "And now, you are taking my granddaughter on a date. It is a small world, no?" she asked us with a grin, making us both blush.
"Shall we go Sam?" Dan asked. I nodded quickly, and sprinted out the front door, Dan close behind me. He closed the door, and he walked up to me. "Hello there." He greeted sarcastically. "Hello yourself." I responded, equally sarcastic. We both laughed, and I got a good look at his outfit. Black jeans, black boots, and a black short sleeved collared shirt. He looked really handsome. "Shall we?" he asked as he open the door of a car. "Yours?" I asked. He nodded. I smiled and got in the car, and he closed the door for me. He got into the driver's seat, and drove. We stopped at a movie theatre. "I have more planned after the movie." He informed me with a smile. I smiled back and we entered a horror movie that had just come out.
The movie was nice. It had a slight hint of romance in it if you squint, but it mostly consisted of horror. We both enjoyed it thoroughly. After the movie finished, we drove off, and stopped at a karaoke bar. We entered and were given a table for 2. "Shall we sing?" he asked me as he brought me a drink. "You can sing, I'm not gonna, not in front of all of these people." I told him. He chuckled and went the stage. "So, what will you be singing young man?" the DJ asked. "Monster by Imagine Dragons." Dan replied. The DJ nodded and the karaoke version of the song started playing, and after a few seconds, Dan started singing.
Ever since I could remember
Everything inside of me
Just wanted to fit in (oh oh oh oh)
I was never one for pretenders
Everything I tried to be
Just wouldn't settle in (oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
That this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me
A monster, a monster
I've turned into a monster
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger
Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest
Do I have to run and hide? (oh oh oh oh)
I never said that I want this
This burden came to me
And it's made its home inside (oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
That this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me
A monster, a monster
I've turned into a monster
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger
As he concluded the song, the entire bar exploded into applause, myself included. Dan was a really good singer. He could probably get a record deal if he wanted to. He sat down opposite me, still out of breath. "That was fantastic." I told him. He smiled at me. "Thank you. Though, I have a feeling you would do well too." He said. I blushed. "I don't like singing in front of so many people." I told him. He chuckled. He dropped the topic and we moved on to a restaurant to get a good meal. The date was ultimately a lot of fun. We talked a lot, he told me about how his guardian educated him, I told him about my family being controlling, and so much more. It was so nice having a guy listen to me. We stopped at a park and decided to take a walk.
Danny P.O.V.
This day has been the best since I died. I knew it was a bad idea to get so close to Sam, since I would eventually have to return to the tower. I shook those thoughts out of my mind and just focussed on Sam. We were walking down the lakeside, hand in hand, just enjoying each other's company. We stopped at a bench, and decided to sit down for a moment. After a few minutes of sitting and chatting, we continued our walk. Not long after, Sam stopped me, blushing heavily.
"Dan." She said. "Yeah? Everything OK?" I asked her. She nodded and took a deep breath. "Dan, I don't know why, but ever since I met you, I've felt drawn to you." She said, getting redder and redder. "I've got the biggest crush on you that anyone has ever seen. What I'm trying to say is, will you be my boyfriend?" she asked, choking out that last word. I smiled at her. "I was just about to ask you the same thing. Inverted of course." I added, making her laugh. I brought her close to me. "I would be delighted to be your boyfriend." I told her as I placed my forehead on hers. She smiled brighter than I've ever seen, and pulled me into a kiss.
It took me almost no time to kiss her back. The feeling of her lips against mine in a consensual kiss was amazing. It was nothing like those old 'fake-out make-outs,' this was real. I could sense that she was enjoying the kiss as our lips danced. After a few minutes, she brushed her tongue over my lips to ask for entry. I was surprised, but gladly obliged her. As our tongues wrestled, Sam let out a soft moan of pleasure. We fought for dominance, and it was a close call, but I won. Knowing Sam, she would want to be in control some of the time at least. Our kiss quickly became deeper, but I forgot that Sam needed air, and she pulled away. I faked panting and placed my forehead on hers again. "Wow, the girl knows how to kiss." I told her with grin, making her laugh. At that point, something awful happened; my ghost sense went off. The black puff of mist appeared right in front of Sam's face, making Sam's eyes widen.
