Daniel from wayward x reader
Request: Can you do one where you get injured in the bell challenge and Daniel from Wayward helps you and brings you to the top
A/N:hi everyone! So this is kinda rushed and unedited as I only wrote this when I was like falling asleep but I’ll go back through it another day and edit it but I hope you still enjoy this is also corny af but the show must go on!
C/W: described injury, blood, confession, no use of y/n, cursing, first kiss, cringy/corny af, fluff, angst if you squint. Please lmk if I missed anything!
Fuck— everything hurts your body hurts your leg definitely hurts. Fuck this stupid challenge and definitely fuck tall pines.
You and Daniel both split up to find some water and food. Of course, you went to find water, as he hunted for food, so you wouldn’t have to deal with hurting a small animal for both of you. Yes, it’s a need to survive but you could never deal with something like that.
But now here you are… sitting in the mud clutching your left leg which has a huge gash in the side of it leading from the ankle to the knee..
You look down at the gash and see blood and mud mixing on the floor it makes you sick. Even if you wanted to stand up your knees would buckle as just the thought of blood makes your whole body give out.
You curse at the feeling as you lean against a rock towards your left, tears welling up in your eyes as exhaustion and rage build up within you— you kick the rock that made this cut on your leg with your right foot because fuck this! Although that turned out to be a terrible idea as you now wince because the stupid rock doesn’t break or budge like you had oh so hoped it would, to hope that you could inflict pain on a rock was a stupid idea and you should have known better. Stupid rock and stupid challenge you thought with tears falling freely from my eyes with small sniffles as you try to collect yourself you hear a voice from behind.
“Damn, what did the rock do to you—.” You heard as you whip your head around to try and glance at whoever is behind you.. It’s Daniel.. thank goodness.
Daniel stops mid-step and you can see realization hit him as your name falls from his lips and he rushes next to you and pulls you against him.
“Hey hey, it’s ok gorgeous I’m here now..” he whispered as he saw your leg and the giant gash that is still actively bleeding.
You clutch onto him as more tears finally fall at the feeling of safety and security, you bury your tear-streaked face into his shirt which is covered in dirt but at this time you couldn't care less as long as it’s him you know everything will be fine.
He shifts his body weight to pick you up bridal style and to get you out of the mud as he’s still whispering trying to calm you down “Alright baby I'm gonna pick you up now and move you to somewhere cleaner ok..?” He asked softly to which you just nod, much to his dismay he takes that as an answer even if he really didn’t want to.
He picks you up and your arms automatically wrap around his neck for support wincing as his fingers graze the cut as he picks you up which he repeats soft apologies for..
Once he found a place suitable for his liking to take care of the cut he sets you down on some rock near a lake and then uses his makeshift knife thingy that he made to cut off a strip of his shirt and uses it to wrap around your thigh to help stop the blood flow, he of course makes sure to elevate the leg a bit as he opens up his water bottle..
You quickly stop him as you groan out a small “stop..” he looks up at you with worry flashing through his eyes “No, no I gotta clean you up— let me do this.” He already knew what you were protesting, which you shook your head again as he ripped off another piece of his shirt to use it as a makeshift rag to clean up your cut, pouring a bit of water on it from his water bottle tuning out your very serious protests with an eye roll. He then starts to dab the cloth around the cut trying to clean it up the best he can.
You don’t say anything but you can 100% tell where his mind is leading to as his eyes flicker up to the designated target place we all are supposed to reach.
After cleaning you up a bit he takes off his makeshift tourniquet and ties the cloth against the gash to help make sure the least amount of dirt gets in the wound, he looks at you then his gaze shifts over to the mountain and back to you.
“Alright, gorgeous imma need you to try your best here with me and push through. I’m gonna get you to that mountain and get you the treatment you need I can only do so much… Alright beautiful?” He says to you softly, his right arm wraps around your body and he holds you up right underneath your right shoulder.
You nod quickly already wanting the pain to stop “Alright..” you mumble out not trusting your voice because you’re in so much pain.
He pushed both of you off the rock and pulled you into his side the best he could to help you walk.. you’re still sobbing you’re trying not to but everything just hurts so much.
This is gonna be a long walk…
You guys continue walking barely making any progress… You can tell he is starting to get a bit aggravated, not with you, of course not but with how little progress you guys are making.. fuck I’m wearing him down at this point he will never make it to the mountain in time for him to ring the bell he’s too worried about me.. your mind races with thoughts and that thought being the biggest one.
You shake your head as tears still slightly fall from your eyes, he notices of course he notices.. just in time he finds a big tree that has fallen and sets you down on its “alright let’s take a break and drink some water..” he says as he peels your backpack off your back and he takes of his off his back as well
He takes out both water bottles and sits down next to you handing you your water bottle you take a sip of water and silently look over at him.. your mind is still racing.. he should just leave me here and come back for me later.. I’m only slowing him down.
He looks over at you seeming to notice the mental battle that is going on in your head right now, pushes some hair off of your face, and smiles at you“We’re almost there only about an hour.” He says to which you nod “You should just leave me I’m weighing you down.” You confess your thoughts to him as you avert your gaze to the ground
He shakes his head “I’m not leaving you.” He states and continues talking “I understand that you think you’re weighing me down but fuck this stupid ass challenge and fuck tall pines. You matter way more to me than ringing a stupid bell that probably won’t do anything we all know they are lying.” He finishes saying, softly his fingers graze your cheek and he pulls your gaze from the ground to him “you and your safety is more important to me than anything…” he states as your eyes lock and you nod left speechless at his devotion towards your safety your name falls from his lips right before he confesses the one thing that you have always wanted him to confess “I—“ he starts as the tension and pressure between you guys grows stronger “I- I love you” he stuttered a bit as he’s never spoken these words to anyone let alone anyone at tall pines, your eyes widen a bit at his confession his name falling from your lips almost like a prayer “Daniel..” his eyes softened at you or should you say the words that have left you without you even thinking straight.. “I love you too Danny.” You confess without second-guessing.
He smiles softly looking into your eyes his gaze flickers to your lips as he licks his own, he then mumbles out “Can I kiss you?” He asked, You nod you have wanted this for so long.. it’s always been too risky to kiss while at tall pines but here.. it’s just you two“of course you can.” you say with a smile that almost breaks as your still in slight pain but everything that is happening makes you forget about the pain for a split second, almost like blocking out everything bad in the world and just leaving everything good, you and Daniel.
He cups your cheeks with his hands and smiles softly as he leans in and captures your lips in his to which you press against him to kiss him back smiling into the kiss you pull back after a few minutes then press your foreheads together catching your breath from the sneering kiss that had built up emotions within it.
He slowly shifts away from you and stands up “Come on I’ll carry you the rest of the way.” He said softly then he moved to pick you up bridal style which you quickly clock and try to push him away “Daniel no stop I can walk… well partly” You say slightly panicked he shakes his head and shuts you up when he says “No no let me carry you I’ll be fine you’ll be fine.” He says and picks you up while chuckling and starts to walk
After a while, you guys are almost there! Finally, after walking and making small talk for what seemed like hours to some degree.. truth be told you didn’t really talk much as you have been starting to get really dizzy and it’s worrying yourself but you don’t wanna tell Daniel I mean we’re almost to the top it will be fine.. right?
You were wrong. It wouldn’t be fine. You’re actually starting to see black spots in your vision.. you’re no eye doctor but you’re pretty sure that's really bad. Your gaze shifts up towards Daniel who’s looking ahead but his gaze flickers down to you for a split second and back in front of him “It’s ok gorgeous we’re almost there stay with me.” He says to much of your dismay you can’t in fact stay with him as you start to really feel lightheaded you mumble out his name almost like a whisper as you start to go in and out of consciousness.. You can see the panic rise in his face as he tries his best to rush up the mountain the best he can’t while still carrying you and two backpacks.
The last thing you hear is him breathing out your name in a rushed panic, you now lay in his arms unconscious as he curses- his breath getting more rushed than ever and his feet picking up pace as he reaches the top of the mountain breathing heavily tears starting to weld up in his eyes as he collapses to his knees dropping you gently onto the floor- looking up at duck and mule who stood up “don’t just stand there help them!!” He yelled at them.. he knew he shouldn’t have yelled and that he would be punished later right now he didn’t care he just needed you to get better.
Mule rushes over and takes a look at your leg and nods over to duck as Daniel is still breathing heavily.. duck then walks over and instructs Daniel to go wait in the van.
Daniel reluctantly agrees as he doesn’t want to be in even more trouble duck then instructs one of the other adult staff to take you to their make-shift ambulance that Tall Pines has.
The adult staff member nodded and picked you up then started to walk to that said ambulance that will take you and Alexandra who had also hurt her ankle to the infirmary (which I say ambulance very lightly)
After a bit, Marty out of all people was the one to ring the bell and Duck was doing exactly like he said and letting Marty leave.. into the woods.
Everyone in the van was watching Marty begging him to just take the opportunity and run, leave and never look back, to just.. go.. Marty soon turns around and boards the bus then sits down..
The fact that Marty didn’t take this literal once in a lifetime opportunity is surprising to all of the Tall Pines students as any one of them would have taken the opportunity.
Daniel sits back in his seat as they pull out and onto the road leading back to Tall Pines Academy he knows that you are safe but he’s still anxious that you somehow aren’t.. for good reason too it’s Tall Pines for crying out loud!
But at the end of the day you end up getting better and getting your leg wrapped properly and you even go on to help Abbie and her friends escape.. now just to get you and Daniel out of here.
