Live, Laugh, Love [Danisnotonfire x Reader]

"Here we are," Dan smiles, slowly letting go of your hand. You suddenly miss the warmth of his palm on yours.

"It's beautiful," you breathe. The place is decorated with simple, yet breathtaking furniture. It looks like the kitchen of a Barbie dream house.

"I thought you'd like it," Dan chuckles, then holds out the seat for you. As soon as the two of you sit, a waitress appears.

"May I take your order?" She asks. Her eyes bat a bit as she sees Dan, and she flashes him a flirty smile. She's so much prettier than you, you think. Although you know that Dan could potentially be in a relationship, you still feel a bit jealous when others flirt with him.

"Of course, just.. Give us a minute," Dan nods solemnly, gently raising up his hand to signal her away. The waitress looks slightly offended as she leaves, and you shoot Dan a grateful smile.

"That waitress seemed like she was into you," you remark. "Why'd you shoo her away?"

"Well.. I.. Kind of have my heart set on someone already." Dan admits.

"Really?" You tilt your head. Lucky girl, you think to yourself.

"Yeah. So, tell me again," Dan quickly changes the subject, "You don't know about the internet?"

"Not much," you say in an embarrassed manner.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you," Dan gives you an apologetic look.

"No, you're fine!" You beam. "So, as you were saying?"

"Oh! Well, I was wondering if you knew about this site," he replies, awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.

"What site?"

"Youtube."

"I've heard of it. Is it popular?"

"Well, yeah, I suppose." Dan shrugs.

"That's cool. Why'd you ask?"

"Nothing-- just curious."

"Oh, okay."

Another waitress comes over and smiles at both of you. "Are you two lovebirds ready to order?"

"L-lovebirds?" You stutter.

"Of course, dear! You two are such a cute couple!" The waitress says. You sneak a glance at Dan and find him staring at the table, cheeks slightly pink.

"Um.. Well, I guess I'll just get this." You pick the cheapest item on the menu. At that moment, Dan snaps out of his little trance and says, "Actually, we'll just get this."

"Great!" The waitress smiles at the two of you once more, then leaves you both alone.

"Dan, you don't have to do this, really," you say worriedly. "That's like, the most expensive thing they have!"

"Hey, I'm the one who's going to treat you. Don't worry about it, really," Dan gives you a reassuring smile, and you can't help but smile back.

After your meal comes, the two of you eat in silence. Finally, you decide to break the ice. "Um, can I just say that.. You have really nice eyes."

"Thank you," Dan blushes slightly. "You have wonderful hair, (y/n)."

"Seriously? I doubt it!" You joke.

"Believe it!"

"Whatever you say," you reply in a sing-songy voice.

Dan grins, then hands the waiter the bill.

"That must've cost a fortune! I'll pay you back, honestly." You nod firmly.

Dan stares at you intently and says, "(Y/n). Seriously. It's fine. Oh, and are you full?"

"I'm stuffed. I don't think I'm going to be able to stand up," you grumble.

"I guess I'll have to carry you then!" He smirks, then dives at you. You yelp as his warm hands touch your stomach.

"Dan! I'm really ticklish!" You squirm, but Dan doesn't let go of you. He carries you, bridal style, out of the restaurant.

"Have you ever had a piggy-back ride before?"

"N-no," you say nervously.

"Well, it's always good to try new things!" Dan laughs, and puts you onto his back.

"Daaan! Put me down!" You yell, half jokingly and half worriedly.

"No way! You're coming with me!" With that, Dan keeps you steady on his back, then runs off.

"Dan!!" You laugh.

"Okay!" Dan stops in front of a big house and lets you off of his back. "Here we are."

"This isn't... This isn't uni," you raise an eyebrow.

"Nope, it's my flat. I share it with a friend."

"What about my dorm?"

"Why do you need a dorm when you could just stay with us?"

"Are you serious?" You gasp.

"Why not?"

"Honestly! We met two weeks ago!"

"I usually don't do this. Consider yourself special," Dan winks.

"Are you.. Are you sure?" You ask cautiously.

"Look, you can just stay for tonight and see how it is. If you like it, you're welcome to stay. If not, then you can just go back to your dorm. Okay?"

After a moment of silence, you nod. "Okay."
