Hex

Looking over at the sound of Hex's voice, Danny sighed, getting onto the train anyway. The car was empty, something that would usually be a rare treat, but now only made it impossible for Danny to hide from the other man.

"I'd like that a lot," Danny assured him, his smile growing brighter again. "Though- I dunno. Part of me still thinks I'm mad even talking to you. They've already hurt you once- They could come at you again. Hurt you, hurt your friends..."

Guilt hit him hard, and Danny looked uneasy. "You could have really hurt someone last night."

[just_hex]

"I'm so sorry, Danny. I'd like to say I'd never...and I never would...but I wasn't right in me head," he said. "I'm still not scared of them, though. I'll stand up to them until I take me last breath. No matter what they do."

[london_spy]

"I know- I know you weren't," Danny assured him quietly. "You were scary though," he admitted.

[just_hex]

"I can't say I'm sorry enough times for you to know how sorry I am. The last thing I ever want is for you, or anyone, to be afraid of me," he said.

[london_spy]

"It was just intense, that's all- I'm not scared of you, I promise," Danny replied, shaking his head.

[just_hex]

"At least I didn't ruin everything," he said and then sighed with relief. "Can I kiss you, Danny? Would you kiss me back?"

[london_spy]

Danny had been walking, but he came to a stop at that, stubbing out his cigarette and then pulling Hex down for a firm and demanding kiss. Danny was smaller, sure, but when he wanted something he was very aggressive- And when he liked someone, he wasn't shy.

[just_hex]

It was a kiss forceful enough to make him catch his breath. Hex slipped his arms around Danny and everything wrong fell into place and became right.

"I love you," he whispered against Danny's lips. Last night the words had almost been a threat but now, in the light of day they were only the tenderness confession.

[london_spy]

"You hardly know me," Danny scolded gently. "I'm all for love at first sight, but- Come on. Come off it. Love me? Maybe you love my kiss, love my body, but me? That's a nut you've hardly begun to crack, Hex."

[just_hex]

"Give me time, then," he smiled. "Let me really know you. But I doubt I'll change me tune."

[london_spy]

"You've got as much time as the universe is giving me," Danny assured him.

It didn't take long to get to the doctors, but the wait was painfully long and by the time they finally got back out it was mid afternoon.

"That place is such a joke," he huffed, "What good's the NHS if I can't see a bloody doctor?" he muttered, lighting another cigarette, then sighing. "I'm sorry I wasted most of your day off."

[just_hex]

"It wasn't a water at all. We had good conversation, a few good laughs. Don't let it get you down. Let's go get something to eat. Something healthy, at least. And then we can go back to mine or yours. I should really do me home workout," he said, arm in arm as they walked out.

[london_spy]

"You inviting me over to watch you work out?" Danny asked with a laugh. "Wish I could say that was the strangest thing a man's invited me over to see."

[just_hex]

Hex chuckled, "I didn't mean it like that. I just need to do it. It can wait," he said. "Just thinking out loud. Of course you can. If you want."

[london_spy]

"Why don't we go back to yours and just hang out?" Danny suggested.

[just_hex]

"I'd like that, Danny," he smiled, looking a bit shy. "I like just spending time with you."

[london_spy]

"I like it too," Danny admitted. "I feel very comfortable around you- Like you just- Understand me."

[just_hex]

"I feel like you understand me too. Like I could tell you anything," he replied, though he did have one secret he shouldn't tell. Maybe one day he'd talk about the Doctor but he knew from his mistakes with Spencer to just keep quiet.

[london_spy]

"You can," Danny assured him. "Anything, any time," he smiled, nudging Hex gently.

[just_hex]

"Let me cook for you. Unless you're dying for take away, let's go back to mine and I'll make something proper. And we can talk while I cook?" Hex asked, reaching down to take Danny's hand in his as they walked.

[london_spy]

"Yeah? ...Yeah, alright. If you're sure you don't mind," Danny nodded, looking down at their hands and smiling.

[just_hex]

"See, that's one thing you need to know about me. I love to cook. No trouble and given the choice I'd rather be in the kitchen. What sounds good? I might have supplies..." he said.

[london_spy]

"Oh I don't mind, honestly. Anything," Danny insisted. "Whatever you feel like making."

He checked his pockets as he spoke, making sure he'd brought his pillbox, and relaxing when he found it.

[just_hex]

"We can make a night of it. I'll cook and we can watch Netflix. You could stay if you like," he said hopefully.

[london_spy]

"I only have enough pills for tonight, I'd have to get home really early," Danny replied. "But I could stay, if you don't mind that."
