Lunchtime had finally arrived. All of the Danger Agents were seated at the tables and eating lunch. Well, not all. Danger Mouse and Danger Moth were standing outside with Penfold and Professor Squawkencluck. "So, you know what you'll say?" Danger Mouse asked the other three, who nodded in response. He grasped Penfold's paw and saw Squawkencluck clinging onto Danger Moth's arm. "Right. Here we go." He inhaled deeply, pushed the control panel and watched the doors open.

The quartet marched inside, trying to continue facing forward. The time had come and all of them felt nervous about what was about to happen. They continued until they stood in the center of the room.

Danger Mouse cleared his throat. "Ahem. May we have your attention, please?"

All chatter ceased. "What's going on, DM? We're trying to have lunch," Danger Bug voiced.

"We can see that, but we have a very important announcement to make."

Danger Moth nodded reassuringly to Squawkencluck. "Professor Squawkencluck is my girlfriend!"

"Danger Moth is my girlfriend!" Squawkencluck added. She'd been apprehensive to start, but her voice came out strong as if daring anybody to challenge her devotion to the moth she stood with.

"I don't like where this is goin'..." Danger Mackerel could be heard saying.

Danger Mouse held Penfold. "Penfold is my boyfriend!"

Penfold inhaled deeply, summoning up all of the courage he could muster. To back out after Danger Mouse had said that would've felt like denial. "Danger Mouse is my boyfriend!"

Danger Mackerel rose to his tail fins. "You mean to tell me that you two," he pointed to the rodents, "and you two," his fin shifted to point to the women, "are couples? What the heck is wrong with you? It's not natural! I...I've lost my appetite, I'm gone!" He stormed out of the cafeteria. "I'M OUT OF HERE!"

Danger Pelican rose to his flippers. "Ah, so that's who you're with." He followed Danger Mackerel.

The rest of the Danger Agents were silent. A throat was cleared. Danger Hedgehog rose to his feet and approached the quartet, saddened to see Penfold flinch as he approached. "Don't worry, Penfold, I'm fine with it. I'm happy for all of you." He turned to the professor. "You have quite the girlfriend, Professor, you're very fortunate." He smiled fondly.

Danger Mole and Danger Bug joined them. "So, how long?" Danger Bug asked.

The rest of the Danger Agents resumed eating lunch.

"How about you come back to our flat and we can tell you," Danger Mouse offered.

Danger Mole nodded. "Sounds like a good idea, but let us finish lunch first."

"We can meet you there then."

"Well, that went alright. Not perfectly, but not too bad either," Danger Mouse remarked as the quartet entered the flat.

"Danger Mackerel's manner of speech has me worried," Danger Moth remarked.

"He'll come around someday, or if not, we can at least depend on Colonel K keeping him in-line."

Penfold blinked twice before looking up to Danger Mouse. "Are you sure?"

"I'm hopeful."

Squawkencluck frowned. "That doesn't sound reassuring."

"I can't say that I'm sure unless I am 100% certain. We'll just have to hope he'll learn to keep it to himself."

Penfold tensed. "Speaking of keeping it to himself..."

"It would be against protocol if he betrayed a secret about a fellow agent."

"So, we don't have to worry about him spreading it around the world in hopes of getting those of a similar mindset to join him in telling us how wrong our relationships are."

"He'd be in deep trouble if he did that."

The door opened and in stepped Danger Hedgehog and Danger Mole. Danger Bug was flying just above them. "Sorry it took us so long, we just heard Danger Mackerel," Danger Hedgehog stated.

"Cursing our names and relationships?" Squawkencluck sighed. She felt Danger Moth squeeze her hand. "I can now empathise with you not wanting to tell your parents," she whispered to her girlfriend.

Danger Mouse gestured for the new arrivals to sit down. "Anyway, you wanted to know about how long we've been together?"

Danger Bug nodded. "Surely, it's not something new?"

"Well, not entirely. Danger Moth, how about you and Squawks share your story first."

The women exchanged looks and nodded. "I'd harboured a crush on Danger Moth for some time now, but it got stronger a couple of months ago. I was staying with her while my flat was undergoing repairs. I felt...free to be myself around her. I wasn't told I needed to loosen up or anything like that, she just accepted me as I am."

"It developed into something a bit more after..." Danger Moth inhaled deeply to compose herself. "After Emma died. We spent a lot of time together, either in the lab or just hanging out in each other's homes, if only to share comfort with each other."

"The more time Danger Moth and I spent together, the stronger my feelings became. I appreciated her being there for me, even if just to keep me company and make sure I didn't overwork myself."

"Then, a month or so ago, DM suggested to me that he'd noticed there might be something more than friendship between us. So, I spoke with the professor and..."

"I made my confession which helped her realise her own feelings."

Danger Mole nodded. "That's a nice story. So, you've been together ever since. Certainly explains all of your Ladies Nights and Danger Moth spending most of her free time in the lab," he chuckled. "No, seriously, I'm happy for you."

"How about you two?" Danger Hedgehog asked the pair of rodents.

Danger Mouse opened his mouth to speak when he heard his iPatch chime. "Excuse me, just got an email." He activated his iPatch and read the message, frowned and then deactivated it. "Never mind, nothing important."

Penfold looked up to Danger Mouse in concern. "DM..."

"Anyway, I was about to say that it's actually all thanks to the professor here that it happened! I'd been developing feelings for Penfold for years, though I wasn't willing to risk our friendship, so I didn't say anything."

"It was pretty much the same for me."

"But, you recall last year's Christmas Eve party?"

The other three Danger Agents nodded. "We'd had to move it elsewhere for some reason," Danger Bug remarked.

"Right. Well, Squawks had set up mistletoe for Penfold and I to stand under. It was there we shared the traditional kiss and then made our confessions."

"Looking back on it, we were both pretty silly about not telling each other how we really felt for such a long time," Penfold added with a chuckle.

"Indeed we were. Well, by the time we'd finished our moment, you'd all left to go somewhere else. That's about it, really."

"Does Colonel K know about you four?" Danger Hedgehog questioned.

Danger Mouse nodded. "He knows and approves. The only other ones to know were Greenback, Stiletto and Nero before they inhaled the memory wiping gas, and...Emma."

"I know you fellows cared about her, but you're pretty solemn still. Just how close were you?"

"Penfold wanted to adopt her since we both came to love her like our own daughter. I advised against it due to our line of work."

Penfold was relieved Danger Mouse didn't add the self-blaming comments he used to always add.

Danger Bug cleared his throat to try to cut through the tension filling the room. "So, since you know of each other and one of each couple was somewhat responsible for the other, do you have plans of going on a double-date sometime?"

The two couples in question exchanged glances. "Erm, maybe one day," Danger Moth responded.

"Fair enough!"

There are more Danger Agents like Danger Skunk and Danger Monkey, but these are the ones I am best acquainted with. Danger Sheep is still in trouble for when he went rogue so he won't appear in my fics.
