Danny made his way up to his room hoping to catch a nap before he went out ghost hunting. Tucker had offered to let him come over and play video games but he had politely declined. He really wanted to catch up on sleep lord knows he could use it. He entered his room tossing down his book bag and shutting his door behind him when he got the distinct impression he wasn't alone.

"Hello Daniel." A monotone voice said from behind him. Turning rather slowly Danny sighed.

"What is it Castiel?" He asked, he didn't really feel like interacting with the expressionless angel today.

"You have become involved with the Winchesters." He stated blandly.

"Yes captain state the obvious, I have. But I'm just being a good friend, Sam doesn't know anyone here and I don't want him to feel left out." Danny explained, why the heck was Castiel meddling in his human life anyways. It wasn't uncommon for him to drop in with tips or information on ghosts but this was different. They'd met when Danny mistook a demon for a ghost and almost paid a high price for it, but Castiel had intervened and the two had been friends of a sort since.

"Be careful Daniel, where the Winchesters go trouble always seems to follow." Castiel warned, not wanting the young boy to get hurt.

"Alright, alright I'll be careful now if you don't mind I was going to take a nap before I had to go out." Danny sighed exasperated, sometimes the angel was a little over protective. Like really how bad could Sam be?

Castiel nodded and disappeared leaving Danny alone in his room. He flopped on his bed and curled up pulling the blankets over his head and hoping to get some well needed rest.

(Later in the evening)

Sam was back out on ghost patrol he had decided to start checking out the streets and had made it to a more shady looking area of town where the EMF was picking up some strange signals.

"Great so there's ghosts here and I'm going to get mugged." Sam sighed as he turned down an ally where stronger signals were coming from.

Looking around he didn't see anything until he heard a shout from above,

"Look out below!" Danny cried as he swooped down, his dive to steep to change course now. Sam tried to jump out of the way but didn't move in time but right before Danny hit him he went intangible and passed through him. Sam wasn't so lucky for the crow ghosts that were chasing Danny as they bowled him over knocking him flat on his back with a yelp. There was a flash of light and the next thing he knew the Phantom was standing over him.

"Hey, hey Sam are you okay." Danny asked kneeling beside him.

"I go to school with a kid named Danny." Sam slurred a little out of it from where he'd bumped his head.

"How neat." Danny replied carefully checking Sam over.

"Hey, what're you doing?" Sam asked trying to pull himself up.

"Just making sure you're okay, you're clearly not quite okay." Danny pushed him back down, "Just stay still for a minute Sam."

"You can't tell me what to, you're a ghost." Sam whined but lay back down.

Danny sighed and rolled his eyes, "You're gonna be fine, probably have a head ache just remember to take some Tylenol when you get home."

"If you're a ghost how are you so handsome?" Sam asked for the sake of asking, his mind was moving a little slower than usual and he just blurted out the question before he could think.

Dante looked at him a little strangely, did Sam just ask him why he was handsome? That would mean Sam thought he was handsome…well damn. Danny put on his best smirk and laughed it off.

"I guess that's just the way it is." He joked as he let Sam sit up.

"Ow…oh god my head." Sam moaned holding his head in his hands.

"C'mon you're okay, let's get you home Sam." Danny said offering him a hand which Sam took.

"Dean's not going to be happy…" he whined as he stood up.

"Well Dean can just suck it up you need to rest." Danny told him.

"Do you have somewhere else we can go?" Sam asked, "Just for a little while so that I'm not coming home early while Dean has his stupid slut over."

Danny sighed, "Yeah I guess we can go wait in the park or something."

Sam smiled, "That would be nice." He began to walk in the direction of the park not letting go of Danny's hand. Danny floated along beside him feeling his cheeks begin to blush, why was Sam holding his hand. They didn't talk on the way to the park and when they got there Sam sat down on a bench with Danny floating down to sit beside him. Sam finally seemed to notice his hold on the ghosts hand and let it go as casually as possible trying not to make a deal of it. Sam started to talk but Danny found himself distracted by the memory of how warm Sam's hand had been against his ghostly coldness. He felt very very distracted.

"I just don't think Dean would accept that I'm gay, he's such a jerk." Sam said breaking Danny out of his trance.

"You're-uh-what?" Danny asked not sure if he'd heard right.

"…gay…" Sam said again suddenly feeling very ashamed, he'd only been talking about it for the last five minutes was Danny not listening. Danny saw him drop his head and start staring at his hands.

"Hey, no that's cool, I get it." He said quickly and Sam looked up.

"You do?" Sam asked him.

"Yeah of course who hasn't had their fair share of boy crushes." Danny laughed a little trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah I guess you're right." Sam smiled looking over at Danny.

Sam's eyes seemed to linger over Danny's face for a little longer than normal taking extra time to appreciate his lips. Danny bit his lip not sure how to alleviate the strange tension that seemed to be building between them. Danny looked away, scanning over the park. He felt a weight rest on his shoulder and he looked back over to find Sam leaning against him passed out.

"Looks like it's time to get you home man." Danny whispered to the sleeping boy before picking him up bridal style and flying in the direction of the motel.

Sam's head rested against his chest as they flew nearing their destination. He phased them through into the motel and laid Sam down on the bed.

"Goodnight Sam." Danny said quietly bending down to pull the covers over him.

"G'night Danny," Sam mumbled looking up at him sleepily before reaching up and wrapping his arms around Danny's neck and pulling him in to press a kiss to his lips.. Danny didn't know what to do and before he could react Sam let him go and rolled over curling up under the covers.

Danny flew out of there as fast as he could not sure how to feel about what just happened.
