If Daniel had thought the last year had been a whirlwind, it was nothing like all that changed the moment they stood before Dylan in the park. A lifetime of hardwork, a year of risking prison and failure, and now he had come to the pinnacle of all he had ever wanted.
And it wasn't even close to over yet. Packing wasn't hard, and leaving behind his life had already been done. They had no idea where they were going, or what was coming next.
He did know that McKinney didn't stop making whatever sound that was at the ungodly hour of not even four in the morning, and he was about ready to scream if the coffee maker didn't go faster.

She glanced towards the door she'd come in, that said, as if she expected Merritt to suddenly appear. She -- well. She hadn't meant anything by it, just remembered the promo photos she'd seen from his original run, after they'd all come together, and couldn't help herself. The hair he'd had then had been something of a nightmare. And did she mention she hoped he hadn't overhead that? She wasn't looking to accidentally hurt his feelings in busting his and Daniel's balls.

no subject
Date: 2015-03-24 11:26 pm (UTC)And then she was laughing, too, at the question. "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

Date: 2015-03-25 02:05 am (UTC)Another sip of her coffee followed, and as she lowered it, she nodded. "Pretty much, yeah. I need to take another lap around the suite and make sure you three didn't leave, like, your shampoo in the shower or whatever, but other than that?"
Yeah, she was packed.
no subject
Date: 2015-03-25 04:48 am (UTC)"I never leave my shampoo in the shower. Do you know how much I pay for what it takes for this," he asked, running his fingers through his hair. "And like McKinney has any."
no subject
Date: 2015-03-27 12:25 am (UTC)"And Merritt's got enough hair to warrant shampoo." A beat. "So does Jack."
no subject
Date: 2015-03-27 08:37 pm (UTC)He gave her a look. "I didn't say Jack didn't. He just doesn't have the concerns I do," he said, touseling his curls.
no subject
Date: 2015-03-28 01:46 pm (UTC)Regardless, she nudged him back gently, before, in all seriousness, asking, "Speaking of. Is it just the shampoo, or do you have to have that professionally straightened?" Last time they were together, he'd all but had a fro for how poofy it was, after all.
no subject
Date: 2015-03-28 10:35 pm (UTC)"We are not talking about the hair back then," he warned her. "It's a rule. A law. Something." He smirked a tiny bit though. "Maybe it's magic," he said, taking another sip of his coffee.
no subject
Date: 2015-03-29 04:51 pm (UTC)As long as there was a supermarket nearby and maybe a Bed, Bath and Beyond so she could pick up and espresso machine, they'd be good. She dismissed that thought for the time being, however, in favor of nudging him again.
"Maybe salon magic." A beat. "And we're totally talking about the hair. I might even print out a couple of pictures from back then and hang them up, where ever we end up. I think Merritt and Jack need the whole White Guy Fro experience."
Never mind the fact that Jack had probably already seen Daniel's hair, back then, what with his interest in him before they'd even met.

Date: 2015-03-29 09:25 pm (UTC)Yep, if she was touching the hair, he was going after the sequins.
"No. No they do not. No one needs to have a return of that, Henley. I worked hard to overcome that look, and you will spare me McKinney never shutting up about it," he said, almost as if it was a command. Then he blinked at her, all puppy dog eyes. "You wouldn't do that, would you?"
He wasn't great at puppy dog eyes, dammit.
no subject
Date: 2015-03-29 09:36 pm (UTC)"They can go up with the ones of your hair, because yeah, I'd totally do that." No, she wouldn't. "You brought it on yourself, Danny."
no subject
Date: 2015-03-30 01:02 am (UTC)"Wait, those pictures are punishment for the past, or making fun of your pretty coffee?"
no subject
Date: 2015-03-30 01:07 am (UTC)A beat. "And let's go with all of the above." For the past, for him poking fun at her coffee, for the idea that he might try and get her into an edible costume. All of it.
no subject
Date: 2015-03-30 08:00 pm (UTC)"Let's go with, you like me too much to post pictures of that hair," He said softly, just barely resting against her side.
no subject
Date: 2015-03-31 11:38 pm (UTC)"And the pictures are totally going up, regardless of how much I may or may not like you." Again, she was teasing. She wasn't that cruel. Most of the time.
no subject
Date: 2015-04-01 03:48 am (UTC)And he still remembered how she looked then.
"Come on now. There has to be something I can do, right?"
no subject
Date: 2015-04-06 06:19 pm (UTC)Another silence, as she recalled their meeting, and then ever so slightly, she shook her head. She didn't want to give him cause to pull away, but she needed to dismiss the fog of memories all the same. When she'd managed, she asked, "Are you offering to bribe me, Daniel?"
She sounded (mock) horrified at the thought.
no subject
Date: 2015-04-07 01:42 am (UTC)"Yeah, I think I might," he admitted. "What kind of bribe do you want?"
no subject
Date: 2015-04-07 11:49 pm (UTC)"I don't know. Offer me something and we can go from there."
no subject
Date: 2015-04-08 04:55 am (UTC)Life was changing, and he wasn't taking the chances he had in the past, letting her go. So he leaned in, kissing her tenderly as his fingers brushed along her cheek, back to card through the soft tendrils of her hair.
