5.
It was eight o'clock in the morning when Dougie arrived at school. He intentionally came early because around this time there were only nerds in the school and they were in the library or the computer lab.
He looked around and when there was no one in sight he took the same stairs him and Danny had taken yesterday to the roof. As he arrived at the door he hesitated while yesterday's event flashed before his eyes for the millionth time.
Shaking the memory out of his mind he opened the door. He walked to the place where the girl had jumped and Danny had jumped after her. He looked down and was shocked with the height of the school.
With a sigh he looked around. He had no idea what he was trying to find here or what he was trying to proof himself, he already knows the truth. He sat down and let his eyes inspect the open space when he saw something out of the ordinary.
With narrowed eyes he stepped to a ball of yellow. He picked it up and realized it was a T-shirt, the T-shirt that Danny was wearing yesterday. A little naughty smile came on his face when he thought that Danny had been topless for the rest of the day.
Dougie opened the T-shirt up and read the bold black letters on it: DIG IF YOU WANT THE PICTURE. He hadn't realized his hands were coming closer to his face until his nose touched the T-shirt's fabric. Completely letting go of himself he closed his eyes and buried his face in Danny's shirt while smelling his body odor. The scent wasn't like anything he had every smelt before, it was so pure.
Dougie was pulled out of his trance when the door suddenly swung open and an annoyed Danny appeared. Dougie quickly hid himself behind the chimney.
'Alright I'm here, you can lecture me now' He said and the sun started to shine brighter and warmer.
'What was I supposed to do, let her die?' Danny said to the sky. Looked like he was having a conversation with the sun again.
'Granted, maybe I could have handled it differently but I didn't exactly have much thinking time you know'
'Why are you mad at me? You should be mad at Gabe for not paying attention to his guardian'
Danny sighed. 'It's always me isn't it?'
'YES IT IS! When Jenna protected another human being other than her own guardian she was praised but all I get is a lecture of how I should have handled it. And when Dean crossed the line by actually talking to his guardian he only got a warning. But when I crossed the line I got banished'
Dougie looked up from behind the chimney and saw how Danny's eyes started to tear up. From what Dougie heard he was being treated differently without a solid reason and that made him feel sorry for Danny.
'FUCK THIS! I DON'T NEED YOU AND I DON'T NEED HEAVEN. CUT MY WINGS AND CUT MY POWERS I DON'T CARE!' Danny said with a broken voice and left the roof dramatically by smashing the door behind him.
'MAYBE LATER I WON'T BUT RIGHT NOW I REALLY DO MEAN IT!' He yelled after himself.
Dougie waited until the sun was at its normal point again and then ran after Danny. When he got back down he expected the hall to be full of students but it was empty. He looked at his watch, first class had already started. Dougie didn't mind missing it and was glad he hadn't class together with Harry. He probably would have thought he ditched him again but now he can come up with a reasonable excuse for why he wasn't here in the morning.
Dougie searched the hall with his eyes and found Danny by his locker. He just smashed his head against his iron locker door and then let it rest there. His eyes were sad and teary.
'Are you alright?' He asked Danny
Surprised Dougie was standing behind him he quickly dried his eyes with his hand but didn't turn around. 'Yeah, I'm fine'
'I know what happened.. I know what you are'
'Could we not do this now?' Danny asked with a broken voice
'But..'
'Please Dougie?' Danny turned around and Dougie's breath was taken away when he saw how broken Danny's face was. He looked so vulnerable and fragile with his drowning eyes.
'S.. sure' Dougie said and turned around but halfway in his turn he changed his mind. He couldn't let Danny on his own like that, it was so heartbreaking! So he turned back around and pulled Danny into a hug.
Danny, who had never experienced a hug before, was completely taken by surprise. He had no idea what to do.
'It's ok, just let it go' Dougie whispered to Danny's shoulder.
Slowly and carefully Danny laid his hands on Dougie's back. The second they made contact with each other Danny felt a huge burden falling down his shoulders. The need to be strong disappeared and he let out all of his tears.
He pulled Dougie closer to him and now held him firmly whilst he was crying hysterically. Years of frustration finally made its way out.
Dougie held Danny tight in his arms, although he was crying Dougie couldn't help but smile. He was close to Danny, really close and now felt his perfect body against him, smelt his scent even better than before and his fingers went though his silky hair.
Apart from the tears this moment was perfect.
I'm so sorry it took so long to update! I've been really busy with work and school (exams in two weeks..)
Hope you like the chapter!
