Meanwhile in their flat, Danger Mouse and Penfold were indulging in a hearty breakfast of jam on toast. "I think this is my best batch yet!" Penfold remarked with a grin.
Danger Mouse appeared contemplative. "Hm, I don't know, Penfold. It's missing something."
"Eh? What?"
"This!" He leaned over and allowed his lips to meet those of the hamster. He pulled back after a few seconds and had another bite of toast. "Oh yesh, much better!" he exclaimed around the chewed mixture in his mouth.
Penfold chuckled. "You're always so snoggy in the morning!"
"Best way to start the day, I think. Ah! Professor, Danger Moth, what brings you two here?"
Penfold looked to the doorway and saw the aforementioned females. "Cor, we weren't expecting you two this morning! I mean, it's not like you're not welcome or anything..."
Squawkencluck held up a feathered hand. "Boys, we need to have a serious conversation."
Danger Mouse's smile faded. "A world-ending crisis?"
"No."
"Greenback plot?"
"Not this time."
"The Princess got a new toy?" Penfold added.
"Not that I know of. It's nothin' to do with that!"
"Then, come sit down and tell us what it is. There's plenty of toast, help yourselves," Danger Mouse offered.
The women stepped over to the table and sat down. "DM, we need to discuss this with you two before we decide where to go from here," Danger Moth started. "This morning, Danger Hedgehog confessed his feelings to me, and Danger Pelican did likewise to the professor."
Squawkencluck nodded. "We had to tell them we're already taken, but we can't yet say who we're with. Danger Pelican assumed you and I were together."
Danger Mouse almost choked on the toast he was swallowing. "What gave him that impression? We're bickering siblings, if anything!"
"I told him as much."
Penfold nodded as he grasped what the women were talking about. "You want to talk about if we should reveal our relationships?"
"Yes, exactly," Danger Moth responded. "I know we're keeping them secret to prevent any discourse among everyone in the agency, but then this happened."
"There are others who might wind up falling for either of you two, meaning you'd have to tell them you're taken. The sooner everyone knows, the easier it might be to prevent future heartbreaks," Squawkencluck added.
"There is a reason we've been keeping it classified, Professor. Not everyone would be very accepting of same-sex couples," Danger Mouse piped up.
"I'm well-aware of that, I overheard some loud remarks from Danger Mackerel demonstrating as much."
"It will be hard, but...maybe we should finally reveal it. Danger Mackerel is only vocal, and we can support each other if he says anything hurtful. Danger Pelican is of the if I ignore it, it's not there mindset in these regards, but the others aren't clear on their stances."
"Shall we organise a meeting with the others, DM?" Danger Moth questioned.
The mouse nodded. "Just those within our agency. I'd had some experience with a very vocal member of the public at one point in the past, and I am perfectly aware that there are those who will be violent in opposition as well. At least here we can guarantee no harassment."
"When should we do it, DM?" Penfold asked.
"This afternoon sounds fine. If no agents have been called out for a mission, then we'll make the announcement in the cafeteria at lunch."
"Lunchtime it is, then," Squawkencluck and Danger Moth agreed.
Though the plan had been confirmed, the four of them felt tense about their more public revelations.

No offence to any Dangercluck shippers; they are just like siblings in my stories.
