“You’re right, sweet thing. I could have, but then I wouldn’t be me. Would I?”

“Okay, ya got me there. Let’s get back to the real issue here. Noah was throwing shit and mumbling ‘diablo’, so I assumed he meant you. What’d he do this time?”

"You’ve got that ridiculous inbred look to you. Makes me feel bad.“

"Wow. Well, now I regret ever asking that question. I’m just going to get my stuff together in the guest room... uh... thanks.”

Ari is buzzing with her anger. Bouncing on her tiptoes by the time he reaches her. “They’re a bunch of pricks,” she says fiercely, shaking her hands at her sides. “Evil, manipulative pricks."

She stops to eye him, "If I kick their ass, how much trouble do you think I’ll get in?” However much, it seemed like it’d be worth it. No one said that shit about her mother and got away with it.

Dan laughs and puts a hand on her shoulder to keep her still, “Listen, I’m not exactly considered a teacher here, so I couldn’t say.” He sighs and decides she’s probably just going to have to learn the hard way, so he steps away to start the warm up.

“I’ve always been against confrontation, and advice was definitely more Elijah’s thing.” With his arm stretched above his head, he decides not to bring up Noah as an example of what not to do, “Maybe you could just call them out on it in front of staff... or find them off school property. Oh wait... but your mom...” Dan sucks in a breath and stretches his other arm over his head, “Good luck getting out of trouble with her?”

Ariella wanted to, and badly but it was starting to get to her. She was just as much a hunter as the rest of them. Her father was a legend, whether she liked it or not. Why did they have to treat her differently? And why did they think they could say that shitty stuff about her mom? Ari loved her so much, and if she couldn’t defend her then who will? Still, she nods and walks past her uncle. “Let’s do this.”

Dan quirked an eyebrow and folded his arms. It’s obvious she’s still bothered because her body language is easy to read. Thinking back, Dan remembered Gabe always told him to keep his emotions in check during a fight or something could go terribly wrong. Dan learned that the hard way... twice, so he follows Ari to the middle of the area. “Listen, shake it out for a minute if you need to. The Derringers have always been this way, like, honestly I can’t remember a time when they were nice.”

Veda watches him move closer, and it takes everything in her not to jump the gun on this one. You. She wonders, eyes slowing taking in every detail on his face. His small and bright eyes. The playful quirk of his lips. She wanted to write a song about him and they haven’t even ordered yet. Right now, I fancy you.

As Veda’s mouth opens to say something that may be entirely inappropriate, their waitress arrives at their table. But it takes her more than a few seconds to tear her eyes away from him, and it’s painfully obvious. The bubbly teenager standing beside them is completely oblivious, already spouting the day’s specials. Veda barely hears one word, she’s too busy trying to gather herself. She hadn’t felt that way in years.

It seems they were having a staring contest and neither go them cared to look away, and it wasn’t even uncomfortable. Dan felt like he was opening a door to his soul for her and she was here doing the same. The teenager ends up waving a hand in his face to get his attention and he looks up very confused.

“Oh! Um… coffee? Two of your… breakfast specials?” he looks at Veda to confirm, he kind of just wants the kid to go away and leave them alone. “That was awkward.” he laughs when they are alone again.

Of course she didn’t have to explain. She never had to explain herself to Dan, he just knew. He knew what made her tick, and what made her smile. He knew how to keep her breathing, and why couldn’t that be enough for her? Looking into his eyes, she tried to come up with one reason why they wouldn’t be happy together. One of her hands went from clutching the blanket to landing on his chest. And there it was. Her one, stupidly unfortunate reason.

He was a hunter, and he would die long before her time. There was a sadness in her eyes then, unlike the one she usually showed him. This time, it was him she longed for openly. Not Callum. Her Danny. Voice soft as air, her fingers wrap around his cross. “I love you.” It wasn’t the first time she said it and it wouldn’t be the last. Thumb tracing the intricate etches of his family crest, her mouth moves close until his breath is her own. “I love you,” she repeats, softer than before because he knows. The way he always knew.

Veda has a boyfriend. A pretty damn good boyfriend that could take care of her every need and it pains Dan to admit the man really has no reason to be hated. Dan doesn’t hate him, but at the same time he definitely does not like him for stupid reasons. Jealously is hard to curb, but boy Dan dissolves it well in front of Veda and Garrett. Her ‘I love you’s’ are from one friend to another. Best friends actually and that’s all they will ever be but he still wishes he knew why she didn’t like him the same way she likes Garrett.

“I love you too, Veda.” he means it differently than she does he knows, and it’s not fair to her but he can’t imagine his life without her. Dan touches his forehead to hers as he snuggles up to her body, and he almost closes the distance between their lips, but that would not be fair while she is so intoxicated like this. No matter how much he wants to, he will never kiss her the way he desperately craves, so he brushes his lips across her cheek and closes his eyes, “Always.”

“Dan.. in all the years you’ve known me, have you ever known me to tell a lie?”

“You’re very trustworthy, but you could have just ignored it and spared my feelings...”

Looking at the book’s cover, she traces the intricate gold lettering with her pointer finger. It was beautiful, obviously a first or second edition. He must have snuck it out of the Hopkins’ library.

Her smile tells him everything. “It’s the wrong edition.” She preferred the edited bestiary with the Shelley forward. When her eyes meet his, there isn’t a trace of disappointment in them. The fact that he remembered makes her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Leaning upward, she plants a gentle kiss on his cheek before slipping the book into her bookbag.

Dan frowns and puts his hand against the locker in an attempt to pretend he isn’t that broken up about it inside. For some reason he knew this wasn’t the right one, but if he took the one he knows she wants… well Gabe would have a fit wouldn’t he?

Honestly, Gabe would have a fit about this anyway. He notices little things like that. “I mean yeah, but you know… Gabe.” he awkwardly laughs.

Years before, Veda would have made some sarcastic comment and pushed him away. She still would if they had an audience but alone, she couldn’t keep him at a distance. Vaulting forward, she cuddles her face into his neck for a little bit. Soaks up his scent, the one that swaddled her at night. Every night for the rest of their immortal lives. Calm now, she leans back but keeps her hands twisted in his sweater. “Blood smoothie? Danny, you should open a shop for vampires. Blood smoothies, that could make us a ton of money.”

“Is that not already a thing?” he quirked an eyebrow before nodding in agreement. “Hell yeah! let’s do it! We’ll call it Organicish.” He knew it wasn’t actually a very good name, nor was it funny at all but he laughed anyway before standing up to get the blender ready. She had to drink the blood before their baby decided to eat her. Magical or not, claws and teeth still made witches bleed.

Dan quickly peels and deseeds three oranges before tossing them in the blender along with the last banana. Just for good measure he finds some frozen strawberries in the freezer and tosses those in there as well. “Oh... ice right?” He’s moving so quickly, he forgets to dump the blood in it as well.

Veda wonders when he’s going to drop the innocent bullshit and just kiss her already. Technically it was her fault they hadn’t gotten together yet, but she figured she was dropping all the right hints. Except… When he brushes her fingers, she immediately follows the impulse to find a seat on the other side of the room. She was always running.

“Ya’re just being mean to Freya,” she huffs, beckoning the cat over. Picking her up, she gets back into her comfortable position on the couch. “Also it’d would’ve been done already if you had come over earlier like I’d asked.” She’s griping, she knows, but she doesn’t like it when she spends time with people that aren’t her. Not that he was spending time with anyone, she’s almost sure he was just held up in the Hopkins’ library.

Maybe she was right, but he had lost track of time like he always had. His nose was buried in a book learning as much as he could because Dan hated being wrong. Phoebe had shown him a few times that he was looking at the obstacle all wrong, he needed to exhaust all possible circumstances before coming to a conclusion. Dan refused to let anyone die because of a stupid mistake. That didn’t matter now though, he didn’t want to talk about what he’d been doing because it always sounded like an excuse to him anyway.

“Sorry.” he mutters as he connects the middle shelf to the stand. The muscles in his arms flex dangerously as he forces the sides together in order to get the glue to stick. The last bookshelf he built was sub-par because he forgot that step, at least it was still holding itself up. “I have five clocks, you’d think I could actually make it somewhere on time for once. It’s kinda like my brain hits the snooze button before I realize I’ve done it fifteen times already.” he laughs now, hoping to bring a smile to her face too.

Veda goes from smiling to grimacing in under a second, which was pretty par for the course when you are with Danny. Huffing, she sets the cat down and propels herself off the couch. “Ya’re a fuckin’ mess,” she muttered as she passed him to get to the kitchen.

Instead of an ice pack, she purposefully grabs a bag of frozen raspberries. Chuckling to herself, she brings it to him hoping he’ll remember when he brought the same to her after a particularly nasty bar fight.

Of course the cat had to bother him as soon as it was free. Now she was rubbing on him, making him itchy. "No, kitty please." he whispered at her as he tried to scoot away. The project was only half done and one comment, a freaking joke, threw it all out of whack. Maybe he should tone down his crush somehow, like magically just stop liking her. Yeah, right.

He looks up and snorts, "I'm pretty sure I brought you some ice packs." His fingers brushed hers gently when he took the berries and sat them on top of his head, these little things were subconscious, but he'd always been cuddly with her so she must not have minded much. "This is never gonna get done if you don't pick up Freya."

Veda watches Dan, the way his sleeves are rolled to his elbow, and the veins in his arms curl. But most importantly, how damn happy he looks to be putting another bookshelf together for her. She holds her cat close to her chest so that she doesn’t wander over and bother their guest. Normally, she’d let her but since Dan was doing them a favor, it would be too high on the dick-move scale. Even for Veda.

”Is this the part in the porno where I offer you a drink?”

chasingknowledge

Dan was concentrating very hard on perfecting this bookshelf just like all the others he had built for Veda. He hadn’t even noticed she was staring until she spoke up and because he was all innocent and celibate, his face flushed as it usually did with any mention of porn. At least he didn’t scream when he dropped one of the shelves on his foot nervously.

“Nooooooo,” he hissed and then bumped his head on the very top shelf, “Ahhhh...” he sobbed dramatically and whispered “ice pack.” like he was going to die without one.

"Dad?" his son's eyes had shifted back to the light brown he remembered and Dan smiled. His cold hand raised to Bran's cheek and wiped away tears that had just broken through. No words or sounds would come out of his mouth; he could only form them in his head and hope his son could read minds. The love he felt and the look on his face would be his last message. Dan could forgive his son, with or without all of his flaws, the boy would always be his.

Dan figured he was on borrowed time anyway because there were too many times he should have been killed. Once, he ended up stumbling about the world blind because Veda loved him too much to let him go. The second time, he was turned into a creature that his family hunted all their lives. Third time is a charm, and now Death will finally get his soul.

Anya doesn’t even bother looking where he points, too busy snorting and giggling at Dan’s desperate attempts to cover up his mistake.

“I’m supposed to believe that guy left this in my locker?”

So what if he was caught almost red handed, it's not like she saw him shove it in there. He just happened to be standing next to her locker, big deal.
