Fun Fact: Were you wondering why Danny would get such a headache when he heard Ember's singing voice? Its because Ember's singing voice was fake. If you remember, it was gifted to her by Hades, which means it was unnatural, and anyone who was not attracted to women in any way shape or form, AKA malexmale inside and out, would get a headache.
That's right, that means that Mr. Lancer is also gay.
Dun dun duuuuuuuun!
...
Danny brushed his wet hair back as he sat on the bed in his pj's, sighing as he took in the empty room. It was 11 at night and he should really be getting to sleep soon. The lavender tea he made himself had been cold for a long time now, and there was no way that cold tea was going to make him feel any better, so he took off his socks and got into bed.
The mattress was much bigger than he remembered and much colder, but the smell of Phantom's pillow made Danny want to start crying all over again, so he pushed it off the bed and turned to face the other direction. The sharpness in his chest was like poison that invaded every inch of his body, leaving him numb and unable to breathe without feeling pain.
Out of his control, another tear fell down his face, and he shut his eyes, hoping that he would fall asleep quickly.
Something creaked on the other side of his room, and Danny's eyes shot open as he reached for the lamp to turn it on.
His eyes focused when the light turned on, and the boy looked around in every direction. "Phantom, if that's you, cut it out. I don't want to see you."
There was no answer, but Danny was sure that he heard something. He shook his head though, he was probably just stressed from being alone in his room at night for the first time in half a year. He got up and put on his slippers, no sense in wasting a perfectly good cup of tea, right?
He picked up his cold mug and went downstairs to heat it up before he made his way back up the stairs. He decided to listen to some instrumental music to calm his nerves as he drank his cup, maybe then he would be able to get some sleep.
Olafur Arnalds- Brotsjor started playing softly in the background from his radio, and he made sure the calming tune was on repeat as he sat on his bed with his mug to listen.
Danny took a few sips of his tea until the mug was half empty, letting the warmth from the liquid soothe his throat and calm the anxiety that had made its appearance. It wasn't until he stopped drinking and actually allowed the after taste from the tea register on his tongue did he look down at the cup in confusion. He smacked his tongue, wondering why the tea was much sweeter than normal, he was positive he hadn't put that much sugar in it when he made the cup.
He shrugged, it didn't taste bad, so he finished off the tea and set the mug on his nightstand.
He snuggled back into bed, listening to the music as it sang softly in the air, the melody of the chorus of strings was a nice distraction from the headache quickly forming behind his eyes.
His stomach started rolling, and Danny opened his eyes yet again, hoping that he wasn't so upset that he would actually vomit. That wish was quickly denied when his mouth started watering and stomach pain rapidly escalated from a dull ache to Danny leaning over the side of the bed with his face in his trash can.
He vomited violently, the pain in his head intensifying as he nearly choked on what was coming up out of his throat. He was glad that he kept a trashcan by his bed because there was already a lot of vomit and not only was he not done, but he was positive that he wouldn't have made it to the restroom.
It took two minutes before Danny was sure that he wouldn't vomit anymore, and he grabbed at his head to try to keep it from feeling like it was about to explode. What the heck had he eaten to made his stomach react so badly? Maybe he left the tea sitting there cold for too long.
Danny got up from bed for the second time that night and wobbled his way to the bathroom, but he barely made it to the sink before his legs started to buckle from beneath him. He panted for breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead as he tried to focus his eyes on his reflection. His vision was blurry, but even with the lack of sight, Danny could see that his eyes were red where they should have been white.
This was bad. Danny concluded, he had to have been reacting from something. This had to be some kind of allergic reaction.
He splashed some cold water on his face in an attempt to stop the headache, knowing that he probably had a fever now. He knew he needed to get to his father, but there was no way that he was going to be able to make it to his dad's room without collapsing in the hallway.
"Dad!" He tried to yell, but his voice was so raspy and dry that nothing but a broken and cracking voice left his throat. It was difficult to breathe already, and Danny knew he needed to make it back to his cell phone.
Danny let go of the sink, but without the support from the counter, the raven fell to his knees. He had to crawl, and he forced his limbs to work as fast as they could, getting him about halfway back to his bed before something completely horrifying happened.
His breathing became erratic, he could hear his heart pumping in his ears at a rapid pace, more rapid than what was normal or healthy. White started covering his sight, bright white spots as his arms and legs went numb and he was forced to release his weight onto the ground where he rolled onto his back and breathed heavily as he stared up at his ceiling.
Adrenaline, endorphins, and powerful hormones rushed through his body, making his brain respond to try to protect his body from going into shock. The only way he knew how to describe the feeling was, well, he had to be high. This has got to be what it feels like to be on drugs. Somehow, someone, someway, Danny had been drugged, and he knew it as soon as he started seeing strange colors float across his vision.
"Don't worry," A female voice spoke, and Danny fought to place it, "I put a rare form of opium in you're tea." Danny was unable to move his arms or legs anymore. "I would have poisoned you, but I don't want anything tainting your flavor, so instead I just put a harmless drug in your tea to make sure you are unable to move or fight when I eat you."
Samantha appeared in his line of sight as she kneeled next to him and pet his face with her small pale hand.
"Wh-." Danny had to really concentrate on his speech to get his words to actually be verbal, "Why? Who a-are you?" He sounded like someone with brain damage, but he was proud that he was at least semi-understandable.
She continued to pet his cheek as she smiled down at him with black lips and green eyes. Suddenly Danny knew.
"Yes, I am a siren. Just like Phantom, only much less kind than he seems to be." She leaned down and started smelling Danny, taking in the sound of the blood rushing through his veins, the heartbeat that pounded against his chest, and the smell of lavender and fear that radiated from his pores. "you don't need to speak, I can hear all your thoughts."
Why was she here? What was the point of coming onto land just to go after him? Or was this a trend now; sirens were becoming able to invade land to find food instead of only being able to feed in the ocean. Why him? He had escaped the cove long ago, why now, why couldn't they just leave him alone?
Samantha smiled and licked up his neck, "Phantom is being punished for not killing you, but Hades doesn't want him to have a chance at an enjoyable life, so he has been sending us siren's to kill you. Phantom has already prevented your death twice now."
Danny's eyes widened, remembering when he almost committed suicide. Phantom had saved his life, and Danny had no idea why he would even let himself stoop so low. He remembered Spectra, and how she had spoken to him, and how he had been so manipulated so easily. Spectra was a siren and she made him attempt suicide, it had never been in his control.
Why wouldn't Phantom tell him though? What did he have to gain from keeping this from him?
That time when Phantom made him spend the night at Sam's. He had said he knew Ember but they were not on good terms. His father had invited Ember over that day. Was Ember a siren too? Did Phantom order him away because he was afraid Ember would try to kill him? Suddenly the vest that the merman made him wear all night made sense, Phantom didn't want Ember to be able to smell him.
Where was Phantom now?
"He's currently either dying or too sick to save you. So I wouldn't count on him for a third time. you're all mine." She smirked and started leaning closer, and Danny knew that this was it. This siren was about to tear him apart, she was about to do what Phantom had tried to protect him from all along, he was going to die here and now if he did not save himself.
He tried to move, but the drug was still coursing through his system and he was still paralyzed, unable to fight back as he watched sharp fangs replace perfectly normal teeth right in front of his eyes. Danny knew that even though his eyes couldn't get any wider, he did his best to focus his vision and look for a way to save himself. If only Phantom had warned him about this before, then maybe he would have one of his dad's weapons on him. He didn't have anything though, and those extra long teeth were about to find a home in his neck any second.
"Careful," a voice behind her said just as a cold hand was put on her shoulder, immediately Samantha shivered, "Cold is bad for the plants."
Phantom's eyes turned bright blue as he pulled Samantha away from Danny, holding her body with one arm and putting a hand over her mouth to muffle her screaming. Immediately Samantha started growing weak from the chill that Phantom produced, her skin going dry and chapped as she struggled against him.
Her effort was futile though, with her being nowhere near as strong as the male siren who was twice her size in muscle mass, and a few seconds later, she shut her eyes and stopped breathing.
Phantom dropped her, his eyes still glowing a bright blue as he stared down at the dead siren, wanting nothing more than to watch as she whithers away into nothing but dust.
Danny was panting on the ground, his fingers twitching as he started to slowly get control back in his muscles. He stared up at Phantom, watching as his eyes went from a bright glowing blue to the normal neon green that Danny was so familiar with. He was able to turn his head just enough to watch as the body next to him turned to dust and collapsed in a pile on the ground. His blue eyes widened, unsure if he was more shocked at her death or glad that she was gone.
Phantom got on his hands and knees and took in Danny's bloodshot eyes and his trembling body. The merman leaned forward and buried his face in Danny's neck and breathed, smelling that there was something in his blood, but it was currently flushing from his system.
Danny felt the closeness from Phantom, and a load of relief crashed right into the raven. He had no idea just how safe Phantom made him feel until the merman was that close to him.
The sight of Samantha in a lip lock with Phantom flashed across his head and he shut his eyes, unable to look at the merman anymore.
Phantom sighed and lifted Danny up off the ground bridal style and put him in his bed. He took care of the bag of vomit in the trash by the side of the bed and brought Danny a glass of water from the kitchen.
By the time he came back with a glass of water and a granola bar, Danny was sitting up on the bed wiggling his hands and toes experimentally, seeming to have much more control. The opium must be wearing off.
He handed the raven the water and snack, but Danny ignored him an stood, pausing by the bed to make sure he had his balance before he walked to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.
Phantom stayed where he sat on Danny's bed, knowing that the boy probably wanted him to leave, but unwilling to walk away without talking to the raven.
When Danny walked out of the bathroom and noticed that Phantom was still sitting on the bed with the granola bar and water in his hands, Danny dropped his gaze and walked over to his cell phone.
"You can stay in the guest room until you find another place to stay." Those words had Phantom's heart dropping from his chest, he had no idea that just a few words could impact and hurt him so much. "you have plenty of money, a license, and you should have your car by now. You're smart too, so I know you are very capable of taking care of yourself. You don't need me anymore, and it's over between us."
Danny started packing his backpack, and Phantom knew that he was planning on heading over to Sam's house, unable to stay in his own house anymore for the night.
Phantom's whole world was suddenly crashing around him, Danny said they were finished, but Phantom knew that he was not. There was no way that Phantom would be leaving Danny any time soon. He never wanted to be apart from his human, and he wasn't ready to stop fighting for forgiveness.
Just as Danny was zipping up the backpack and heading towards his door, five words are what stopped him in his tracks.
"But, Danny, I love you."
Danny froze, nearly dropping his bag at the sound of the same words he had been waiting to hear from Phantom for so long. It felt incredible for a brief moment before the good feeling was tarnished by the memory of Samantha's arms around him.
He fought tears that he had been fighting to keep in his eyes ever since Phantom made it into his line of sight after Samantha almost killed him, but a couple fell without his permission anyway. Danny slowly turned around and dropped his bag, regarding Phantom with an intense and unbelieving glare.
"Why should I believe you when you say that now? You've never believed in love before, how do I know you aren't just trying to manipulate me by saying the one thing I have been wanting to hear you say since you had me in captivity?" There was so much passion in those blue eyes, but Phantom regretted that they were filled with pain and anger instead of the adoration and trust that they usually had. "You want me to forgive you? Tell me why you deserve it."
Phantom stood, wanting nothing more than to cross the distance between him and Danny, but knowing that wasn't a good idea. Danny was more angry at him than he remembered, and Phantom was walking on thin ice, one wrong move and he would fall through and drown.
"In all the 3-thousand-something-years that I've lived, I've never felt so unworthy, Precious," Phantom said sincerely, staring at Danny's angered eyes with his own sad green ones, "I gave up my tail to keep you safe. I gave up my honor in Hades's eyes, and I have no intention of ever getting it back. As long as you are alive, I am proud of this life. You are the only other living creature that I have ever fought to protect. Even if you hate me now, I'll keep saving your life, because Hades is not going to stop sending assassins until you're dead and I don't ever want to know how painful it will be if he takes your soul."
The sweet words touched Danny's ears and felt like candy to the pain that simmered down, but he held his ground. He could not allow himself to forgive Phantom so easily, no, he had more self-respect in himself than that. Danny wasn't ready to forgive yet, he needed to be sure so that he could trust Phantom. He needed to trust Phantom. Without trust, there was no relationship.
"Tell me what love means to you, Phantom. I want to hear it."
They were currently at least ten feet apart, and more and more Phantom was hating the amount of distance between them when all he wanted was to touch Danny. To brush that little bit of hair out of his eyes, to wipe away the tear that fell, to kiss away the pain...
"Love is limitless. Capable of lasting through time, distance, heartache, and disappointment. Love is deep, and beautiful even without visual appearance. I wish I had a word to describe what love feels like Danny, I know so many languages, some that you never even heard of, yet the only way I understand how to say what love feels like is how I feel with you. How it feels to look at you, you're so beautiful.-" Phantom took a step forward when he was sure that Danny wouldn't notice.
He didn't.
"-How it feels to run my thumb against your cheek and feel how soft your skin is. How it feels to lay my head on your chest and listen to your heartbeat, to never get tired of that sound, that beautiful rhythmic patter is the last thing I listen for when I go to sleep." he took another step, getting closer and closer to Danny every chance he got. "I will never get over how it feels to sleep with you every night, with your arm around my stomach and your face in my neck. How good your closeness feels despite the discomfort around anyone else.
"It's just you, Danny, you're the only one I can imagine ending or starting the day with. You're the only one I'll ever allow to see me hurt, or see me vulnerable because I trust you. I trust you even though I have never given you any reason to trust me."
Danny finally noticed the distance between them getting shorter, but the fluttering in his chest and the tears that were quickly changing from the evidence of anguish to that of amazement gave Phantom the bravery to continue to shorten the distance.
"When you stare at me just like that," Phantom said referring to the deep look of warmth and doting in Danny's sparkling blue eyes, "Like I am the most precious thing in the world to you. Like I am the single most important detail in all your life, and in all your struggle, it makes me feel more powerful than I ever had as a merman. You look at me like all you want to do is give me the world, but you've already done that Danny. You may not realize it Danny, but you have been everything to me for a long time now, I didn't realize it until just recently, and I'm so sorry for that, but now I want to spend every minute of my time proving to you just what you mean to me."
They were now just a couple of feet apart, and the temptation to lift up his hand and caress the side of the raven's face was getting increasingly hard to ignore.
"You've given me everything. You showed me what it's like to be human, to laugh to the point of nausea, to hurt to the point of tears. To get angry. Oh, so angry." That was it, he couldn't stop himself anymore. He lifted both hands up and cupped either side of Danny's face, stepping closer and staring deeply into his precious human's eyes. "I know what it's like to love, and I never would have known if it wasn't for you. If you hadn't shown me how beautiful the human race actually was, and how stupid and wrong I was to ever once believe that you were anything less than perfection, I wouldn't be who I am today."
A huge fat tear dropped from Danny's eye and Phantom swiped it away with his thumb, smelling that the pain was leaving Danny as forgiveness and trust slowly made it's way back.
"I wouldn't take it back, Precious." Phantom promised, "I'd never take anything back. Call me selfish if you want, but forgive me when I say if I had to go back in time I would kidnap you all over again because I don't think I could last a day without you in my life."
Danny made a noise that sounded somewhere between a chuckle and a sob as he shut his eyes and leaned into Phantom's touch. Finally, the raven crossed the last two feet over to the merman to circle his arms around his neck, and Phantom sighed in relief.
He had needed that hug since the moment he knew that Samantha was up to something, the worry and the fear that he had felt to know that another siren was after the human had bothered him to the point of constant anxiety. Everything that followed the siren's appearance had done nothing to help Phantom either.
"I wouldn't last a day, Precious," Phantom said, his voice breaking as he fought his own tears back.
Danny hugged him tighter and nodded, glad the merman was wearing clothes that would not soak his tears. The raven started walking, taking slow steps forward as Phantom was lead backward towards the bed where they both climbed in.
Phantom took off his clothes, leaving nothing on but his black boxers, and cuddled into Danny's warm body, laying his head on his chest and holding him tightly. He had been terrified that he wouldn't be able to do this again, either because Samantha succeeded in the mission, or because Danny wanted him to leave. To be doing it now after killing the assassin and making up with Danny, it felt indescribable. The relief he felt could only be shown in how tightly he held Danny, and how nice it felt to feel a small hand brush through his white hair with short nails.
"I love you, too, Phantom." The merman heard Danny whisper just before lips pressed to the top of his head.
Buh-dump. Buh-dump. Buh-dump.
Phantom smiled.
