4.

Dougie sat in the canteen and stared before him. Since his encounter with Danny he was even more intrigued with him then he was before. But what did he know about him? Apparently he's a bit of a loner, he's really smart and beautiful, talks to the sun and has weird lines on his back. Was he even human?

'Thanks for ditching me at gym' Harry said and practically threw his plate of food on the table. 'We played dodge ball, it was really fun' He added sarcastically.

Dougie looked at him and saw a fresh bruise on his forehead. He was feeling a little guilty now for not telling Harry he was going to skip. Maybe he should have invited him along? But then he wouldn't have seen Danny again..

'Sorry' Dougie said.

'So why did you skip?'

Dougie pulled his sleeve further on his wrist and looked down. 'I don't like people seeing my body'

'Why? Do you have scars or something?'

'Yeah..'

'From when you were little or..?' Harry didn't came up with an or. He had no idea from what else you can get scars.

'Or' Dougie said and gave a weak fake smile. He didn't feel like talking about it, not now, not with everything going on with Danny.

Harry was curious, he wanted to know what Dougie went through. What scars covered his body that he's so afraid to even do gym? But he didn't say anything, knowing Dougie would tell him when he's ready for it. Besides they only know each other for two days now, you don't tell your whole life story to someone you've just met.

The whole canteen was buzzing with people talking and laughing but around their table there was an awkwardly silence waiting to be broken. Dougie didn't dare to look at Harry, he still felt his eyes on him. Instead he looked around and found Danny sitting alone again, staring outside the window.

Dougie's heartbeat raised and his neck hair stood up. As Danny was sitting there Dougie just noticed how perfect he is. He always found him beautiful but now he was perfect. He was hanging on his chair, his feet placed perfectly apart from each other giving his body interesting angles. His blue eyes fixed on the sky were even more brightened now by the daylight and his hair fell perfectly above his eyes and across his face. Dougie could even see from where he was sitting how freckled Danny's skin was.

Dougie had so many questions for Danny but he had warned him to stay away. He bit his lip. He had no idea what Danny was capable of, was he prepared to push him and find out?

He suddenly stood up and determined to get the answers he wanted he walked to Danny, ignoring Harry who yelled after him. As Dougie came closer to Danny his heartbeat was so fast he thought he was going to have a heart attack but he didn't let it show and sat down with confidence.

Danny, of course, when he noticed Dougie stood up.

'SIT' Dougie said strong and to his surprise Danny did what he was told and that made Dougie fall out of character for a second. He didn't actually think Danny would listen to him and hadn't extended his plan.

'Sooo.. How are you liking the school?' Dougie cursed himself for forgetting why he came. The determination to get some answers disappeared when he looked into Danny's eyes.

'Errm.. It's alright I guess' Danny answered confused, he expected the questions to flow from Dougie's mouth but instead he got this.

'I'm new too' Dougie said. 'It's really hard to restart somewhere new and different, fortunately I found Harry. Well.. He found me. He's the reason my life doesn't suck these days'

Dougie frowned and blinked several times. He's normally not that open but now the words just came naturally. It was like.. it was like he was his old self again.

He looked up and saw Danny smiling at him. It was the first time he ever saw his smile, he has the most perfect smile he had ever seen. His handsome shaped lips and his teeth, a bit oblique, came through so gorgeously that Dougie lost his breath.

'Your voice is special' Danny said 'Like a piano high key symphony'

Dougie always hated his voice. When he heard himself talking on a recording he was disgusted by it. But as Danny described it he actually felt proud of it and for the first time he believed it was beautiful.

He just wanted to thank Danny when he suddenly turned around.

'Danny?' Dougie asked but he didn't respond. It was like he had forgotten everything and everyone else around him and was hearing something no one else could.

He stood up and Dougie followed him. They took several stairs until they ended up the roof. Dougie waited behind the door and looked through the glass window.

There was someone else on the roof, a girl. She was standing on the edge and threatened to jump. Danny talked to her and Dougie wished he hadn't closed the door, now he had no idea what they were saying.

Suddenly the girl jumped and Danny quickly pulled his shirt off and jumped after her, only when he jumped there came big white feathered wings out of the lines on his back. A few seconds later he came back up with an unconscious girl in his arms. As walking to the door he pulled back in his wings and made a painful face.

When he opened the door he saw Dougie but this time he did not care what he had seen and as if he wasn't even there Danny walked past him.

Dougie was frozen by everything that he had witnessed and couldn't move until after a few minutes. He went back to the canteen and joined Harry again, Danny was nowhere to be spotted.

'Thank for ditching me, again..' Harry said

'Do you believe in angels?' Dougie asked ignoring Harry.

'What?'

'Just answer'

'Errm.. I like to believe that there is a heaven with angels and some kind of god but then I also have to believe that there is a hell with demons and a devil'

'So you don't believe?'

'No, I think I believe more in afterlife' Harry said. 'Where is all this coming from?'

Dougie wondered if he should tell Harry or not but decided it wasn't his secret to share. 'Nothing, I was just wondering'
