Danny had finally finished his homework, hours later, and was now probably hungrier than Phantom. He was ready to hit the kitchen and cook himself up a giant bowl of cereal and coke, but when he got downstairs, his father was alone in the kitchen eating ice cream with a very big spoon. Music was playing softly from the small radio and Danny knew that he was using it for meditation.
"Dad," Danny stopped midway through the kitchen entrance and asked as he slowly approached his father. The man only ever ate ice cream with a cooking spoon if he was suffering a stressful amount of melancholy. "Are you okay?"
The man looked up at his son with the most helpless expression he had seen his father make in a very long time, and he knew that this couldn't be good.
"Son," Jack put the enormous spoon down into the gallon of ice cream and spoke slowly, "sit, I have something to discuss with you."
The boy sat down slowly, staring at his father in concern and knowing that this had everything to do with the two FBI agents that were there earlier. The chair was cool against the exposed part below his thighs, his black PJ shorts riding up slightly and goosebumps rose on his skin.
"What is it, Dad?" He already knew it had to have something to do with Vlad, he had been reported missing a while ago and he knew that the police had been looking for him for a while. He had been completely worried earlier that the police were there to accuse someone of murder, but Phantom had already calmed him down with hard logic so he continued to play it cool.
"Son," Jack looked like he was having a hard time figuring out what the right words were to say, so he started out with a question as if the answer would help him get his thoughts together. "Did Vlad ever make you uncomfortable in any way?"
Danny's face curled in confusion, thinking seriously how to answer this. Vlad had always made him uncomfortable ever since he turned 13, and he was positive that Vlad was creepy before then but he only started acknowledging just how creepy he was barely after turning into a teenager. Should he tell his father, now, what he had been wanting to tell and bring to his attention for years? Or should he just play dumb and say that Vlad always treated him as his godson?
What brought this on anyway? FBI agents show up and suddenly his Dad suspected that Vlad was a creep to him? What gives?
"Um, I mean, uh," Danny was suddenly unable to look his father in the eye, and though he knew that his father could be very dense sometimes, he was positive that his father would take the answer as a yes unless he spoke some real English words. The music playing suddenly felt like it was putting artistic sugar on the confectionary of dread cluttering his mind.
His father wasn't going to just take the implied yes, though, apparently, because he pried a little more, "I mean, did he ever look at you strangely, or touch you in a weird way?"
Immediately, Danny had a very vivid flashback of Vlad's hand around his neck as he aligned himself to his unwilling body. Danny desperately wanted to say yes, because at that moment as he looked into his father's concerned and loving eyes, all he wanted to do was confess what happened. Get it all out.
"None that I ever thought was horrifyingly inappropriate," he said instead, "sometimes he would look at me funny, but I never thought it was uncomfortable." He could never tell the truth, no one could know what actually happened to Vlad, especially not his father.
Jack would never protect Phantom as Danny would die to do.
Jack looked like the answer relieved a little stress, as if the lie was confirmation that something he was terrified had happened, didn't happen.
Good.
"What is this about, Dad?" Danny asked with newly found confidence, as long as his father didn't suspect that anything went on between him and Vlad, Phantom would still be safe.
Jack sighed, he had not been looking forward to this part of the conversation. How does one tell their son that the godfather they had loved and respected for their whole life had done something so disgusting?
"Danny," Jack reached out a hand and offered emotional support for the trainwreck of horrified shock his son was about to feel. He briefly wondered if he should be telling his son this at all, but quickly shot the idea down. He just felt it in his gut that Danny needed to know what had gone on. Jack himself now felt uncomfortable in his own home and was actively contemplating selling the house for a new one altogether. He had hardly been capable of staying in the same house that his wife had cheated on him in. He could not deal with living in a house that had cameras everywhere and had been watching his son and his ex-wife for the fast few years. "Vlad's mansion was searched a few days ago and they found something horrifying regarding you and your mother."
Danny looked down at the hand that gripped his, bigger and stronger than his own and a troubling feeling invaded his psyche and left a bitter taste on his tongue.
"There is a hidden lab that they found with a bunch of TVs and videotapes. The men that came over today came to tell me that the tapes that they found were of you and your mom." With every word that passed through his father's mouth, Danny's gut seemed to drop more and more as his eyes widened, that bitter taste turning sour as nausea threatened to have him over the trash any second. "It seems that Vlad has been watching you through hidden cameras that were put all over your room," Jack swallowed, "In your bathroom."
Danny thought about all the times he had undressed, slept naked, showered, masturbated... Vlad had been watching all of that. When he thought he was alone, he really wasn't. Vlad, the creep that had been flirting and chasing him around the table for years, had been watching him when he thought he wasn't even in the same state.
Danny's face was probably paler than when he first returned back home after spending most of 6 and a half months under water, but Danny didn't care about that.
I took out the cameras in your room Christmas night, they aren't there anymore. Phantom immediately appeased the burning thoughts of his rigged room, and Danny relaxed only a millimeter in the miles of stress he felt over the new information. So that's what those tiny holes in the walls are from...
He should have expected that Vlad would abuse the amount of cash that he has. He should have expected a lot of things from Vlad, and he was currently kicking his own ass for naively having faith in the man's humanity. He wished he was wiser, wished he knew better. If he had known then what he knew now, then maybe he could have done something about Vlad before Phantom had to get his hands dirty to save him.
"They found parts of him in a swamp outside of town, they don't think it was an accident but they aren't calling it a murder yet either, though."
It was that sentence that made Danny absolutely sure that he was going to be sick very soon. Danny's eyes widened and he feared that his father could see how much he was panicking.
They found the body.
They were not supposed to find the body ever.
Danny bit his lip and stared down at the hand that covered his on the surface of the table. His body felt heavy and his stomach was rolling with ill emotion, and the heat from the hand wasn't helping. In the span of about two seconds, Danny shot up from his spot in the chair and ran across the distance between him and the kitchen trash where he emptied his stomach. The music playing softly behind the symphony of his vomiting was suddenly less soothing and more mind-numbing to the poor sick boy.
Pain wracked his emotional meltdown with a force that rivaled Niagra falls. He had no idea how so much came out when he hadn't really eaten since noon and it was already 10 pm, then again he never paid that much attention in health class.
He just did not pay attention to anything, did he?
Just as he thought he was done, he felt a large meaty hand rubbed up against his trembling back and another wave of sick fell. Thank's, Dad.
"Does Mom know?" He asked when he was sure that his stomach was finally done committing suicide.
Jack shook his head before realizing that Danny's face was still breathing heavily into the trashcan, "No, I don't think so, but I'm going to give her a call. Why don't you go and get some sleep? I can call the school in the morning if you want to stay?"
As much as he would love to take the excuse for the offered sanity day, "I have a test tomorrow, I won't be able to make it up."
"Ohh Ember, you will remember. Ember, one thing remains. Ohh Ember, so warm and tender, you will remember my name."
That song, he had heard it before, earlier in the day. It gave him a headache then too.
"Dad, will you change that song, that girls voice is more annoying than Paulina's perfume." It was true, Paulina's perfume was like knives to your sinuses, just like that singer's voice was like knives to his temples.
"What do you mean?" His Dad responded, though he changed it despite his obvious disagreement, "Her voice is sweeter than honey, I find that song relaxing." when the singers voice was cut off, it was like a ton of pressure lifted from Danny's ears and it was the most relieved he had felt in the last ten minutes.
Danny groaned, knowing that song was going to be on his father's playlist before the night was over if it wasn't already. Hopefully, though, he wouldn't have to ever hear it again.
...
Of course, someone out there wanted Danny to suffer.
"Ohh Ember, you will remember. Ember, one thing remains. Ohh Ember, so warm and tender, You will remember my name."
"Ugh," Danny covered his ears, the tinge of pain hitting him behind his ears and driving him up the wall, "Tucker, don't you have headphones or something?" He hissed at his best friend who was playing the wretched song as if his phone was a Bluetooth radio.
"Are you kidding?" Tucker said in shock, "this song is too sweet for you not to adore, Danny." the slightly older boy smirked, "What, you don't like anything your mythological boyfriend doesn't sing himself?"
"No," Danny said defensively as he opened his locker, but not before he tore away the poster of the newly famous pop star that was for some reason taped to the door, "I listen to other artists, it's just something about that one girl, her voice is like nails being blended in my skull."
Phantom stood a couple of feet away, staring at the poster quietly as he listened to the three friends bicker.
"Her voice isn't that bad," Sam said as she waited for Danny to grab his books, wincing as the textbook he threw into the locker hit the back of it with a loud bang, "It actually helped me fall asleep faster last night."
Danny rolled his eyes and shut his locker, ripping off the torn poster and crumbling it up before throwing it somewhere behind him angrily. Phantom stepped next to him and put a cool hand to Danny's head and the reaction was immediate.
Danny gave a grateful sigh and pressed his forehead into the other boy's palm, loving how cool it was against his aching nerves and knowing that Phantom was putting a little of his ice energy into his hand. It was the same pleasurable feeling as putting a wet towel to his face and Danny couldn't have had a better nurse.
Phantom gave Danny a whiff.
"Mhm," Danny felt the irritation peacefully leave his temples, "let's get to lunch, I'm probably just hungry." He proposed when he realized Phantom was sniffing to smell what was wrong.
His friends nodded in agreement at the idea of getting to food faster and lead the way down the hall to the front of the school, however, they didn't make it 10 feet before they heard a loud shout of anger a few feet away.
"Paradise Lost!" Mr. Lancer screamed a couple of feet away when he walked out of his classroom, he seemed to be looking at all the posters and decorations of the same singer that now cluttered the halls of the school. "Where in Great Ceaser's Diary did all this come from?" The out of shape teacher ripped down a giant poster currently covering up his World's Best Teacher campaign poster.
A nerd appeared out of nowhere, the group of four too focused on Mr. Lancer to see the redhead walk up. Mikey threw his hands up in the air excitedly, wearing a blue wig and a black band shirt with a familiar popstar's face on it, "Ember is the hottest chick I've ever seen!" his voice was loud and ear-piercing, "My teenage boy hormones are so wild, she has got to be my soul mate!"
Suddenly loud screams and the boom of an electric guitar could be heard, and while everyone in the hall, including Sam and Tucker, seemed to be overjoyed and excited as they stampeded out the front of the school, Lancer and Danny covered their irritated ears as Ember started singing. The sound of her music could be heard all the way through the doors and down the hall, they could only imagine how loud it was outside.
Phantom was silently cursing.
While Sam and Tucker made their way out of the school to see their current favorite Popstar perform live at their school, Danny, Phantom, and Lancer all had matching aggravated expressions. Danny hissed in irritation and he knew that if his eyes could change color like Phantom's, they would be turning bright red, he was so annoyed. Lancer looked like he was about to lose his shit, as well, at the loud and blaring noise currently invading the normally boring and unenthusiastic school.
"Ember, you will remember. Ember, one thing remains."
It wasn't enough for Danny to roll his eyes as he watched students mindlessly cheer for the pop star outside, he rolled his whole head. He could see the pop star from where he stood through the glass front doors. She was pretty, he did have to admit that she was extremely attractive and sort of reminded him of Sam with her goth attire. He just couldn't get past how annoying she was. As if it wasn't enough that she was on repeat on everyone's playlist and he had to have heard the same song at least a billion times in the last 24 hours, no, now she had to show up at his school and drive him crazier than he already was.
"Ohh, Ember, so warm and tender!"
Ember made eye contact with Phantom and smiled.
"You will remember my name."
Phantom's eyes flashed red in anger.
"Come on," Danny started tugging at Phantom's hand, "We can wait for Sam and Tucker in the car. I'm sure whatever Ember is trying to do will be canceled soon when the school officials escort her out."
Phantom looked at Danny, and the raven flinched back when he saw how red the teen's eyes were, "Whoa, Phantom, I don't want to have my head bitten off." He meant it as a joke but he didn't laugh when he realized that was an actual possibility, "What's the matter?"
The merman's eyes bled back to the neon green that Danny had always admired no matter the circumstances, and the raven breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go." Phantom started to the door. Unfortunately, they would have to exit out the front where all the commotion was to get to Danny's car, and despite the fact that Danny wanted nothing more than to run far away until he never has to hear Ember so much as hiccup again, he had no choice but to fallow the merman out the front.
Danny wanted to facepalm when he caught his father cheering at the front of the crowd, dressed head to toe in Ember merchandise and screaming how much he loves her over her guitar.
Phantom grimaced.
All through lunch, Phantom was quiet. Well, he was normally quite silent, but today he seemed both disinterested in conversation and irritated.
Danny nudged him after swallowing the food in his mouth, the merman hadn't touched his fish. "Phantom, are you sure you're okay? You have been acting really strange today."
The merman didn't answer at first, instead, he just kept staring out the window as if he was looking for someone. Danny thought that the older boy was going to ignore him completely until Phantom finally spoke.
"I'm fine, just eat your food, Danny." the raven's heart fluttered at being called by his name, and normally the response would have satisfied him, but Phantom's tone was so offhanded that Danny knew that his mind was in a whole other world at the moment.
Sam and Tucker looked at each other at Phantom's response, looking at Danny and communicating through eye contact that something was definitely up with Phantom. Though they all knew that the merman wasn't the type to spill his thoughts if he didn't want to, so they didn't bother asking.
Danny did, however, stare at Phantom's wary eyes with full concern, and for the millionth time wondered what was going on inside his head.
He stopped staring though when he felt his phone vibrate in his back pocket, and he picked it out and opened it up. It was a message from his father.
"Hi, son! You won't believe who I got to come over for dinner tonight! Why didn't you tell me that Ember and Dan knew each other?! Anyway, I asked her over tonight and she said that she would be here at 7."
Danny's eyebrows rose as he looked over at Phantom, who was staring at him with a lookout outrage. The raven flinched, but after a second he realized, as the merman dropped his gaze to the text on his phone, that he wasn't mad at Danny but at the apparent visitor that would be coming over.
Well, Danny was annoyed by it too, but Phantom looked livid.
Wait a minute...
"You and Ember know each other?" When had he and Ember had the chance to meet each other? Was Phantom talking to her online? How well did they know each other that Ember was now being invited over to their private home?
Danny looked back up and met Danny's worried blue eyes, immediately knowing that the boy was concerned over his and Ember's relationship. His features softened from the hostility he felt and he lifted a hand up to gently grip the raven's chin. "Yeah I know her, but we are nothing close to friends. In fact, I hate her guts."
Danny blinked and nodded.
When they got back to school, all the Ember decorations had been taken down by the custodial faculty and Ember had already been escorted off the premises.
Danny turned off his car and unlocked the back doors for his friends to exit the car, but before Danny could open his own door, Phantom grabbed his arm. Danny looked at him questioningly but stayed put as Sam and Tucker got out of the car. When Tucker looked at Danny curiously after realizing his best friend wasn't following him, Danny nodded at him. "Give me a minute, Tuck."
The African nodded, "I'll see you in biology."
When Phantom and Danny were alone, Danny waited for Phantom to speak.
"I need you to stay at Sam's tonight," Phantom said out of the blue. He specifically said, Sam, because he knew that her mansion was farther from Fenton works than Tucker's house was. Danny's eyes widened, knowing that it had everything to do with Ember coming over.
"Why?" possible explanations flashed through his head, and Danny couldn't help but feel extremely possessive. Danny never thought of himself as the jealous type, but the current situation was making him feel vigilant. First, his father exposes the fact that Ember and Phantom know each other, and then Phantom wants Danny out of the house while the female pop star visits his house?
"Hey," Phantom said gently as he grabbed Danny's hands, "I need you to trust me right now Danny." Phantom looked Danny in his suspicious eyes and conveyed his honesty as best as he could.
He could just tell Danny that Ember was another siren that he was positive was sent by Hades to cause trouble. There was no way that the siren would be here on legs and going to Danny's home for any other reason other than to bring trouble.
He chose not to tell Danny though, he didn't want him to feel unsafe. Even though he was absolutely unsafe.
If Ember was here to hurt Danny, and Hades had promised the previously handicapped siren a lasting singing voice if she completed the assignment, then it was probable that she wouldn't stop until the job was done and either him, or Danny, or both, were dead. That meant Phantom would have to get more blood on his hands to protect Danny, and he knew that the raven was already suffering mentally just knowing that he killed one person.
"Are you going to tell me what's going on?" Danny asked, and Phantom wished that the situation wasn't so delicate.
Phantom knew that if Hades sent one siren after him and Danny, then he would absolutely send more just to make their lives difficult. He wasn't sure at the moment whether Hades sent Ember after him, or after Danny, or even if she actually intended to kill one of them, but he knew no matter what, Ember would not be the last siren to come after them.
He probably shouldn't let Danny in on the fact that his list of crimes would be getting longer.
"I can't explain, Precious." the merman lifted a hand up and cupped Danny's face, "but if there was ever a time that you needed to trust me, it is right now. Please, Danny, don't come home until I call you." it would just be so much easier if Danny wasn't there to see what was probably going to take place at his house later.
Danny agreed to stay at Sam's for the night, and as soon as he and Phantom were done talking, the raven texted his goth friend for permission - not that he needed it. The merman had felt another wave of gratefulness when Danny agreed, and he had kissed him to let him know how thankful he was that the raven would do as he asked despite not knowing what was going on.
He made sure to catch Danny before he drove to Sam's at the end of the school day though.
Phantom took off his vest and gave it to Danny, now only in a wife beater. "I want you to wear this, and do not take it off under any circumstances." He knew that Ember would have already been tracking the raven's scent, that was the only way she could have found them.
Danny took the vest and looked up at Phantom in confusion, unsure of Phantom's reasoning.
"Put it on," Phantom commanded.
Danny did, but it was slightly uncomfortable due to Phantom's body being slightly more broad and muscular than he was. On Phantom, the vest was almost form fitting as if a tailor stitched it directly onto his body, but on Danny, it sat awkwardly on his frame.
"I mean it, Danny." Phantom's eyes narrowed as he read the raven's thoughts. "You will not take it off for any reason, I don't care how uncomfortable it is. Promise me." He needed to make sure that Ember couldn't smell him, and as he sniffed the air for Danny's scent, he was satisfied to find that he couldn't find it.
If he couldn't, then neither could Ember.
Danny quickly understood just how serious Phantom was, and he wondered again what the heck was going on. "I promise."
Phantom nodded and seemed to be relieved when Danny promised. The raven stared at Phantom's face, the thought of him possibly cheating was no longer in his head as the reality of Phantom's discomfort became clearly evident.
"Phantom, please tell me what's wrong?" Danny begged as he thought back to Phantom's behavior throughout the day. How Phantom has been quiet, paranoid, and distant. He was obviously worried about something and Danny knew it had everything to do with Ember. Why Phantom wouldn't talk to him about it, though, was beyond him.
The merman's eyes seemed to soften, and when soft hands lifted up to cup his cheeks, Danny leaned into the touch. Their faces were inches apart and the raven's heart started to beat faster as Phantom inched closer and pressed their foreheads together.
"Don't worry your pretty little head off too much, precious. Just do what I say, and everything will be okay, yes?" he pecked Danny on the nose, glad that there was nobody around in the parking lot, as Danny found PDA to be embarrassing and he wouldn't be as receptive to this if there were other people around.
Danny nodded, "Yes."
Phantom smirked, "Good boy."
