(SD92: You’ll notice some completely fake information in this chapter and throughout the rest of the story. I did warn you this was AU, considering the pairing, but I figured I should add this in. I wanted to give them a little more history also I know it started slow but a lot of the story tags are going to start popping up.)

.......

Three

Danny tried not to fidget during dinner but it was hopeless, his mind felt like it was running laps trying to process why he thought Vlad looked so attractive. He looked at the man so many times over the years and never once had he been anything more than either the crazed up mom obsessed fruit loop or an anorexic Santa in his eyes. Danny chuckled to himself as the image entered his mind, Vlad looked up from his lasagna.

“Something funny about today?”

Danny shook his head and cleared his throat.

“No I was just remembering what I thought of you the first time we met.”

“When you were six?”

Danny nodded.

“And what would that be?”

With a chuckle Danny told him and Vlad looked down at his stomach absently.

“I have never been that skinny.”

“Keep in mind that I was six and you were being compared to my father.”

That time Vlad did laugh.

“I suppose it’s an odd sight for a child, I never thought when I was trying to be ‘friendly’ that it would lead to a.....friendship with the second half ghost your father created.”

“Indirectly.”

Vlad scoffed and sipped his wine, Danny shook his head but the smile hadn’t left his face.

“So Vlad, you never told me much about your....partner.”

Vlad stiffened a little then grabbed his glass again.

“James, what about him?” he said quietly.

“You seemed so upset when he left, you really love him don’t you?”

Danny frowned at the tingle he felt run down his spine, it was a wave of jealousy and he didn’t understand that. They were trying to be friends, nothing more than that Vlad didn’t answer.

“Well Daniel....”

“Sorry I didn’t mean to pry.” he said quickly.

“It’s not a problem, I’m glad you thought to ask...I’m just not the type to confide in anyone.”

“Well you should try to be like that, mom says it’s unhealthy to hold back your feelings.....because when you die you’ll become a bitter ghost and never be able to pass on.”

Danny paused.
“Okay you know I love and respect my mother but....that is the first time I’ve ever listened long enough to quote her.”

Vlad laughed then cleared his throat.

“Well at least you’re honest about it.....so, you think I should talk about my feelings, no matter what?”

Danny nodded.

“Are you offering an ear?”

“Uh...I’m still a teenager in my own right...say exactly what you mean or I may accidentally tune you out.”

With a chuckle Vlad asked him if he was listening with a nod in response he took a breath this was really uncomfortable for him.

“I met James at a fundraiser party, he was a guest of one of the people I work with a nephew or something. I wasn’t sure I preferred men when I talked to him, but I suppose he got his way in the end.....what?” he paused seeing the look on Danny’s face.

“Well I mean, you said ‘his way’ like you didn’t want him specifically.”

Vlad shook his head.

“No, I don’t think I did, but I suppose even at my age when you try something new you don’t always think about the consequences.”

“Meaning, you wanted to play around and figured you would give him what he wanted so you could figure out your own wants.”

Vlad cocked his head.

“Exactly......am I that obvious?”

“A lot of teenagers are the same way.”

“Should I be insulted?”

“Not at all, it’s a good thing not to jump into anything serious when you aren’t sure about the other person, you don’t want to deliberately hurt anyone but if their cool with being a test subject then it’s fine.”

Vlad rubbed his chin as if he hadn’t thought about it like that.

“Go on.” Danny said before grabbing his soda.

“Right....everything seemed fine at first but he changed I just don’t know why I give him everything he wants......but he...”

Danny instinctively reached over to grab his hand and give him a comforting squeeze, Vlad looked at him.

“I can’t talk about what he’s not getting, it’s just not something you want to hear.”

Danny raised an eyebrow.

“Are you talking about sex?”

Vlad blushed darkly and cleared his throat, Danny burst into a fit of laughter and Vlad stared at him.

“What’s funny about that?” he hissed.

“I’m sorry....I just can’t picture someone like you getting.......wild.”

Vlad turned an even darker shade of red as Danny laughed again he looked down and saw that Danny’s hand was still resting on his. Such a gentle touch was almost over whelming, he looked away and Danny stopped laughing long enough to wipe his eyes his smile faded seeing the look on Vlad’s face.

“I’m sorry.”

“You don’t have anything to apologize for, I’m just.....”

“I know I know it’s a start, let’s talk about something else.”

Vlad nodded.

......................................................................

After dinner they walked outside at the sound of someone calling his name Vlad turned around, he paled seeing his boyfriend. James was a larger man, not fat but buff. He was bald and had an angry scowl on his face that made it hard to tell if he was good looking or not. He walked over and crossed his arms.

“Vlad I need to talk to you, tell your friend to get lost.”

“We rode here together.” Vlad said quietly.

Danny looked at him, Vlad was a lot of things but timid? That didn’t suit him at all.

“He can wait for you in his damn car, now can’t he? Move it squirt.”

Danny chewed on his lip.

“Will you be okay?”

Vlad nodded.

“It’s fine Daniel, I’ll be right there in just a moment.”

............................

Danny sat up realizing he had fallen asleep waiting for Vlad, he got out of his car and locked it as he walked back toward the alley way where James had come out of hiding and his eyes widened. It looked like Vlad had just woken up himself. He was sitting in a puddle of blood shaking as he tried to pull his pants back up. His eye was already purple and he had a number of wounds all over. Through several tears on his suit Danny saw more damage, Vlad either didn’t see him or didn’t want to face him. He bent down and Vlad practically jumped out of his skin trying to avoid his touch. Danny’s blood was boiling more and more but he was trying to hold it in, he didn’t want to make the situation worse.

“Vlad...”

“Danny please.......I just want to leave.” he coughed out.

“Okay, can you stand?”

Vlad nodded, Danny stayed close but didn’t try to touch him again he could tell that the way Vlad was feeling he would reach out on his own if he wanted to be touched right now. Vlad fixed his pants the rest of the way while he leaned against the dumpster he wiped blood from his split lip and stood up straighter. Danny watched him as they moved toward his car he was still in a lot of pain, as one would expect, but he wouldn’t ask for help he was trying to walk as if nothing had happened. He slid in the passenger side and they drove to Tucker’s house where Vlad’s car was waiting.

Danny glanced over at him, he was still shaking but his pride wouldn’t let a tear leave his eyes, he was staring forward as if he wished he could make the scene melt before him.

“Vlad.”

He shook his head, Danny felt out of his element he knew no matter who it was he couldn’t just force the victim to talk to him especially right after. However he wanted to offer some sort of comfort, he couldn’t sit there and just watch him suffer. He cursed as they got close to the curb Vlad looked up and saw what had upset him. His car was a mess, to say the least.

The windows were smashed, the doors were heavily dented, the tires were slashed, if you walked around you would see someone had poured some substance all over his engine. Vlad rubbed his temples feeling overwhelmed, he leaned on Danny’s car. Danny walked over to check out the damage and his face paled a little. Scratched into the seat was, Jack was here, he scanned the engine and saw that the substance was one of the many samples in his father’s lab that he was studying to figure out what ghost they came from Vlad looked over.

“What is it?” he mumbled.

“Well, looks like my dad did this.”

Vlad rubbed his temples, he got back in the car and Danny looked up as Tucker’s car came into view. They parked on the sidewalk and the couple jumped out.

“Oh my....” Sam mumbled as they walked over.

“The car was fine when we left....”

“Don’t worry about it Tucker, I’m pretty sure my dad did this, in fact I’m positive.”

The two looked at each other then looked at Vlad sympathetically.

“We can wait for a tow truck inside.” Sam offered.

Vlad shook his head.

“I’ll stay outside, tonight has been too much for me.”

Danny grabbed his papers out of the glove compartment and got in the car giving his friends a look that simply said he could handle it.

...

After the tow truck left Danny took Vlad home, he was leaning against the car door exhausted he sighed as the pulled into the garage. Vlad used the remote to close the door, they sat in silence until he let himself out and went inside Danny could have left but he couldn’t do that. He wanted nothing more than to go find the bastard and make him pay but he couldn’t imagine leaving Vlad alone. He sat on the couch and waited for him to come back down.

Vlad’s POV

I was standing in the large white and brown bathroom connected to my bedroom, I had thrown my suit on the ground and was waiting for the tub to fill up. I looked over at the steam raising off of the top, know it would be hotter than I could stand. I didn’t care I wanted to scald myself, so I could scrub my body clean like it needed to be. I glared at the tub, it wasn’t very big but it seemed to be taking it’s sweet time filling up. I looked at my reflection and grimaced, I looked a complete mess I raised my fist and punched the mirror. It shattered as quickly as I had, I climbed into the tub ignoring the cuts on my hand. More damage I could easily handle, as I sank into the water Ignoring the uncomfortable temperature I gritted my teeth as every cut burned.

‘Idiot.....should have cleaned them first.’

I grabbed the hand towel and started scrubbing, the cloth aggravated my wounds I was scrubbing so hard but I didn’t care. I can admit in my own mind, even to my cat, I’m not a particularly nice person I’ve done wrong and hurt lots of people. Still I had never felt dirtier than I did right now, not until I reached below to touch my entrance did the dam finally break. I broke down, shook and sobbed like I hadn’t done since I was a small child. James was always rough, in fact this wasn’t the first time he’d done this. He liked to be rough, I don’t even know why I’m with him I coughed as I choked on my sobs.

‘What’s happened to me....?’

I stood up and grabbed my robe I couldn’t handle this, I felt like I was drowning, I phased through the floor and saw Danny was still there just on the couch.

“Danny...”

He turned to looked at me.

“Please....”

It didn’t take him long to get up and wrap his arms around me, we slid to the floor and though its a surprise that I can even say it. Danny Phantom held me against him.

I don’t know how long we stayed like that, how long he stroked my hair and rocked back and forth, I don’t know how long I cried clinging to him but it doesn’t matter, I just didn’t want him to leave me.

............................
