Best friends in love
"I have eaten too much food again guys" Danny complained with a small smile
Tom and Harry just laughed at him but Dougie seemed to be daydreaming.
Danny then whacked him across the head "Oi Dopey guts, stop daydreaming"
Dougie then looked at Danny and held his head "Own that hurt. What was that for?"
"You were daydreaming" Tom said with a laugh.
The youngest boy then sighed softly "I wasn't daydreaming, I was thinking"
"Aren't they the same thing?" Danny said with a smile.
Dougie felt his heart skip a beat when Danny smiled, the way it always did. He loved Danny more than anything but he was too scared to ever admit it to anyone.
"I am off to bed, I'm too tired to stay awake" Danny yawned and went upstairs.
Tom and Harry then went to watch TV and left a space for Dougie but the youngest boy just went upstairs without saying a single word.
Dougie had just gotten up the stairs when he tripped over his shoelace and fell down the stairs, landing at the bottom with a loud bang as he hit his head on the wall.
Danny heard the bang so he walked out of his room and walked down the stairs and saw Dougie sitting at the bottom holding his head and by the looks of it trying not to cry.
Danny then sat down next to his best friend and wrapped an arm around his shoulder "What did you do?"
Dougie looked at Danny "Tripped over my shoelace and fell down the stairs"
At this point Tom and Harry had come over to make sure Dougie was okay. Danny and Dougie looked up at Tom and Harry who were trying not to laugh.
"It's not funny, my head hurts" Dougie said to them
Danny then grinned "It is kind of funny" he said and then laughed.
Dougie then burst out laughing, Danny's laugh always made him laugh.
Danny then stood up and held out a hand to Dougie "Come on you dumbass get up"
Dougie looked up at Danny and took his hand and the two of them just stood and stared at each other for a single moment before Danny looked away and started to walk up the stairs, gently pulling the younger boy behind him.
"By the way Danny, you are the dumbass of the group" Dougie said once both boys were up the stairs.
"That is it Dougie Lee Poynter" Danny said to him as he chased Dougie to his room.
Dougie tried to shut the door but Danny was stronger than him so he couldn't get it shut. Danny then walked into boy's room and pushed a laughing Dougie onto the bed and began to tickle him, which made him laugh even more.
"Stop it please just stop it" Dougie managed to say through his laughter.
The older boy just shook his head "Not until you say sorry for calling me a dumbass"
Tom and Harry just looked at each other as they heard Dougie's laughter and then Dougie telling Danny to stop and then Danny refusing.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Tom said to Harry.
Harry smiled "I think they are finally getting it on"
The two boys smiled and then both of them quietly went up the stairs and stopped just outside Dougie's room and listened.
"Danny stop it now, I can't breathe" Dougie complained still laughing.
Danny laughed "Say you are sorry you little git and then I will stop" he said as he carried on tickling his friend.
The younger boy then opened his mouth to say he was sorry but instead he just laughed even more.
Danny never wanted to stop tickling Dougie because he thought the young boy looked so cute when he was laughing like this. He just couldn't keep his eyes off the younger boy and he felt his heart racing.
"Okay, Okay, I'm sorry" Dougie managed to say but Danny kept on tickling him.
"Do you mean it?" The older boy asked.
"Yes yes I mean it" Dougie said to Danny.
Danny then stopped tickling his friend and laughed "You are pathetic you know that Dougie?"
"Just because I am ticklish it doesn't mean I am pathetic" Dougie said to Danny as he playfully punched the older boy in the arm.
Tom and Harry then walked into Dougie's room to see Dougie and Danny lying next to each other and laughing.
"What have you two been up to?" Harry asked with a smile.
Danny looked at the two older boys and went to explain but just burst out laughing again.
Tom raised an eyebrow "Is there something we need to know?"
"I called him a dumbass so he tickled me until I said I was sorry" Dougie said through laughter.
"What's so funny about that?" Harry asked the two younger boys.
"Well I started laughing and you know my laugh always sets little Dougie off, and now we can't stop laughing" Danny said to them.
Tom and Harry rolled their eyes and walked off and back down the stairs.
"I swear those get more immature everyday" Harry said.
"And it is so obvious that they both like each other" Tom added.
The two boys sighed and sat on the sofa and carried on watching the TV.
About half an hour later Dougie came running down the stairs.
Tom looked up at the youngest boy and laughed "Good grief you may be the smallest but you sounded like a herd of elephants just then"
Dougie narrowed his eyes and went to the kitchen and got two glasses from the cupboard and then went to fill them up with water.
Tom then walked into the kitchen "Dougie can ask you something?" he asked.
Since the youngest member didn't know Tom was there until he spoke, he jumped and dropped one of the glasses on the floor causing it to smash.
Tom rolled his eyes "Dougie be more careful will you?"
Dougie's eyes then looked down at the broken glass and then back up at Tom "Sorry" he said quietly and put the other glass on the bench, before kneeling down and starting to pick up the glass on the kitchen floor.
Tom then sighed "Dougie look at me!" he said
Dougie looked up at Tom and saw that the older boy looked angry.
"What is wrong with you these days? You are just like Danny. A clumsy git and you are always daydreaming" Tom said sounding angry "For fucks sake Dougie stop being so God Damn stupid"
Dougie didn't say anything but he just stood up and dropped the glass that he had in his hand. Tears then filled his eyes.
"It wasn't my fault Tom" the youngest boy said as a single tear rolled down his face.
"Whose fault was it then? Mother fucking Theresa's" Tom shouted.
"I mean you gave me a fright and I didn't mean to do it" Dougie said quietly.
"It isn't my fault you are so fucking useless" Tom shouted back.
Dougie then walked out of the kitchen and ran upstairs and into Danny's room before bursting into tears.
Danny looked up and saw his best friend in tears. He then sat up on his bed "Come here you" he said to him with a smile.
Dougie walked over to Danny's bed and sat down and looked at his best friend.
Danny wrapped his arms around the younger boy and pulled him into a hug, Dougie hugged Danny back and cried into his chest.
"What's wrong Dougs?" Danny asked the younger boy.
Dougie looked up at Danny "I went to get a drink and Tom came in the kitchen but I never heard him and he spoke to me giving me a fright and I dropped the glass and smashed it and then Tom shouted at me and said I was stupid and useless" Dougie said through his tears.
Danny hugged Dougie tightly "You are not useless, do you hear me? If any of us are then it's me because I am always fucking things up"
Dougie then pulled away from the hug and looked at Danny and smiled slightly.
Danny reached out and wiped away Dougie's tears "Don't cry okay?"
The younger boy just nodded and carried on looking at Danny.
Danny looked away for a single second and then looked back at the younger boy.
Dougie could tell something was bothering Danny but he didn't know what. He thought of what to do for a few moments and then he moved his head closer to Danny's.
Danny smiled and moved his head closer to Dougie's.
Just when the their lips were almost touching Tom walked in the room, which made the two youngest boys quickly move their heads.
"Look Dougie I'm sorry" Tom said to Dougie as he walked closer to Danny's bed.
Danny stood up "Get out!"
"Danny I'm only saying sorry to him" Tom smiled
"I couldn't give a shit! You really upset him. He came in here and he started breaking his heart. Just get out of my room" Danny said to Tom as he walked closer to the oldest boy.
"I'm just saying sorry Danny and I want to make sure he is okay" Tom said trying to keep calm.
"Right well you've said sorry and he is fine now so just bugger off" Danny said as his blue eyes flashed with anger.
"But..." Tom started but he was silenced by Danny punching him in the face, almost causing him to topple to the ground.
Tom sighed and then walked off and went downstairs.
Danny turned to Dougie who was crying again.
"It's all my fault" Dougie said as Danny sat next to him and pulled him into a hug.
"What's your fault?" Danny asked.
"You and Tom are going to hate each other now and then McFly is going to split up, because of me being so clumsy" Dougie said as he cried into Danny's chest.
"Hey, we are not going to split up. Okay so I am angry at Tom but I won't be forever" Danny said with a smile "Dougie look at me".
Dougie looked up, tears still rolling down his face.
Danny then wiped Dougie's tears away "What's got you like this? You aren't normally like this. What's with all the crying?"
Dougie shrugged "I guess it's because there is one thing that id really bugging me and now everything just gets to me"
"What's bugging you mate? Tell me" Danny said, his arms still around Dougie.
"I really like someone and I doubt they like me back" Dougie sighed.
"Just tell that person and..." Danny started but he was cut off when Dougie's lips pressed against his.
Danny wrapped his arms tighter around the younger boy and kissed him back.
