Thank you imperial13 for your review, here’s the next installment. This chapter is very important and I hope everyone out here gets the real and true feelings behind this. If not you are truly missing out on a great deal.
Danny groaned, ‘why am I so sore? I remember the fight, the belt, and someone tossing Vlad but after…’ Danny fluttered his eyes open only to let out a mewl of pain snapping them shut against the too bright light. He heard a muffled curse and the sound of blinds and drapes being closed, the light pressing against his eyelids vanished as the sounds stopped. Cracking one eye open and not seeing any substantial amount of light led him to openboth of them wider. He sat up when he didn’t recognize his surroundings.
It was a plush room, done in dark blues and hunter green with cream accents; leaving a very soothing ambiance. He saw a lark oak desk with a new computer on it; trash, disks and other assorted stuff along with the sports and band posters on the walls labeled this a teen’s room. A male teen’s room.
He continued his perusal and as he was looking suddenly found himself staring into a pair of half lidded deep sapphire eyes. He squeaked in fright and dove under the covers, only to hear a deep throated chuckle and a single surprising statement, “I’m glad to see you finally wake up.”
Dash watched as Danny poked his head just out enough for him to see his hair, bright blue eyes and the bridge of his cute little nose; Dash took one look at that last thought and wisely chooses to ignore the choice of words his mind had decided to use to describe Danny. He blinked when he realized Danny had just asked a question.
Danny watched as the other male lifted his head and gave him a sheepish smile, “Sorry lost in my thoughts could you repeat that question?’
Danny huffed in annoyance at him, “I said, ‘How long was I out?’” Dash gave him a hesitant look,” You’ve been out for twenty four hours. I called Lancer to let him know you were hurt in the crossfire yesterday and that I’m watching out for ya since your family isn’t home.”
Danny blinked before posing him a question,” How did you know my family isn’t there?”
Dash gave him on irritated look, “I called and no one answered, I picked up the answering machine and it stated bluntly that everybody but you was out and that to leave a message.”
Dash sighed when he saw him flinch slightly at the harsher tone he had used, ‘The same one I use when I tell him I’m about to stomp him. Damn I have a lot of do before he might let me get to know him a bit.’
Dash ran his hands through his hair and softened his voice down two octaves, “I’m sorry for startling earlier by the way. I just didn’t think you’d want someone hovering over you.” He watched as Danny sat totally up, and bowed his head; his unruly black hair hiding his face. He got up, concerned about his behavior but stopped al movement at the next question which was truly more a statement, “You saw… Everything?”
Sighing Dash complete the move across his room and sat on the edge of his massive bed; facing away from Danny he finally answered, “Yeah.” There was an intake of breathe behind him but he continued before him,” Yeah I saw but I won’t tell anyone. But…” He struggled for ho words needing to know some answers to questions that had started plaguing him the moment he got home,” Why? Why did you never fight back? Why didn’t you tell anyone? You knew that we worshipped the Ghost-Boy, worshipped you! So why keep it a secret?” He turned to face Danny who still had his head bowed so that his hair hid his face and Dash noticed the white knuckled grip he had on the sheet.
Danny stared at the sheet in his grip, refusing to face Dash. “Why? Why?!” He snapped his head up and snarled at him, “Because Dash, fighting back would have meant I would’ve put you and all your friends in the hospital. I never told anyone but my two best friends and my sister who, by the way, are constant targets of my ghostly enemies! I never told your friends because they ONLY like Phantom. No matter what you say Dash Phantom and Fenton is the same person, so no matter what you say they would never accept me as just being me (1)! You know what the worst part of it is? I’ve seen your form of acceptance and you guys plainly stated you were helping me and my friends because I was cool because I was Phantom. If I had just been a brave ghost geek who knew how to fight against ghosts and was brave enough to do it, you wouldn’t have helped me! Because to you guys, I will never be a real fighter, how can I be? After all I’m just a girly loser, even more so than the other geeks and dorks in Casper High.” He watched Dash recoil some from his venomous words, and he felt himself heaving from the pent up emotions; ignoring it he watched Dash for his reaction.
Dash was shocked at his words yet realized the truth to them. When one thought about it the voice and appearance of Phantom and Fenton was exactly the same, except for some superficial, and unimportant, differences. The true differences were in the bearing; Danny to all but his friends, or unless he was being bullied, was invisible. He walked with a slight hunch his shoulders squared forward and his head down, trying to make himself not stand out; less of a target. Phantom feared nothing, standing tall and proud; a fierce fighter who never gave up and everyday put his life on the line for many who feared him and wished to see him strapped to a lab table. Dash hung his head shamefully when he realized just how much he and his friends and fucked this one up.
He scooted closer to a strained and wild looking Danny, who was staring with wide feral eyes at his hands still gripping the sheets. Hesitant;y he reached out and place one of his broad, tanned hands on Danny’s more slim and pale one, startling him and causing him to look up at him. He rubbed his thumb against the surprisingly supple skin and answered him back the best he could,” I know, God do I know now, how much I’ve hurt you. I mean praising you as a ghost and sawing how much I would love to be a hero with you; than turning around and being mean and a jerk to those weaker than me; all for the sake of keeping my position at the top. But if I could do it again, I would. I would never have started fallng prey to the peer pressure of affirming my coolness by beating those smaller or different than me.” He lifted the hand he was holding and pressed it to his cheek. “Please, please,please, I’m so sorry for all the extra pain and baggage I shoved on you. Please, forgive me ,in some small measure, for my sins against you.” Dash never even noticed when he started crying as the true meaning of everything he had done to this particular teen; this one frail, petite, and pale teen who had saved them many times from the most evil of creatures. Who everyday dealt with the pain and humiliation of being bullied by those whom he saved and praised him. Dash only partially recognized when Danny pulled him into an embrace, hiding Dash’s head in his shoulder and letting him cry while saying.” I forgive you, you didn’t know, were never supposed to know.” Over and over again.
Tbc…
1: If you remeber the Freak Show take over episode, this is the the stuff I saw hidden between the lines. So if you don't agree you don't have to. This is just how I have interpreted it.
Me: -sniffles- I really hoped everyone out there gto the very meaning of this particular chapter. I was listneing to "How to Save a Life" by The Fray; I myself am in tears from writing this.
Danny and Dash: -curled together and sleep-
Me: Please keep reading and reviewing. You have no idea who much they make me happy.
