d for the alphabet ask

Daniel banks! because I want an excuse to talk about him

he’s Juno and Morgan’s older half-brother, though nobody knows who his biological father is

Grayson kicked him out when he turned eighteen, which was coincidentally about two weeks after Katie died, he moved to a Charlotte, NC after.

he went into public administration because he wanted a stable job in case either of his sisters ever.

as a teenager he had a job as a surfing instructor during the summer and worked at The Wreck during the school year

his mom nicknamed him Firestarter after he accidentally set part of their lawn on fire while doing that thing where you burn anthills with a magnifying glass.

send me a random letter and I’ll pick an OC who’s name starts with that letter and give you five random fun facts about them.

🕰- Daniel banks…

oh my god thank you for this. I love Daniel sm.

he moves to California with Juno whenever the show ends I guess

he’s still living there five years later

he’s gotten a job as a photographer, mostly weddings and stuff, but they pay pretty well

he’s taking an online college course for film and screenwriting

Juno moved out when she turned 18 and he cried, though he’ll never admit it

he cried when she graduated from college too

Juno gently prompted him to go see his dad over the years and eventually he did, they didn’t talk much but they make a point to meet up once a year anyway

he has a tabby cat named Venus (Juno insisted on naming all the animals after Roman gods)

he’s had a couple relationships here and there, nothing that lasted for longer than a couple months

overall he’s just doing well, he’s happy, he has a good relationship with his sister for once in his life

Send me 🕰+ an oc and I’ll tell you about them 5-10 years post canon/in a time skip

Will you ever be able to forgive Mary Margaret for taking your first love?

Never. That woman deserves everything that is coming her way.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're flirting with me." Liberty to Daniel

“So you’re both beautiful and intuitive,” Daniel looked up from the dish he was trying to prepare so he could both wink at her and pretend to check off items from an imaginary list. “If I didn’t know any better, I would say you’re the whole package.”  He gave her the goofy, lopsided grin she had called cute earlier.  He was absolutely flirting with her, of course.  Anyone with eyes could see that.  This was still being broadcasted on a major network, though, even if it was just a cooking show.  He wanted to keep things as PG while as absurdly suggestive as he possibly could.  

It took a lot of effort to try and ignore her presence.  Daniel had never been so close to a girl this beautiful before - he was six feet away from the actual Miss Universe and it almost didn’t feel real.  Even though he was currently living out a dream, so close to making every fantasy he ever had a reality, this was easily the most surreal day of his life.  Not because he was competing in the top 7 of the most popular culinary competition ever, but because Miss Ethiopia was at his arms length.  She so close that could he kiss her if he wanted to, but her face said that she actually wanted him to do that.  It was hard for him not to look up at her every now and then and beam.

It was almost funny.  There had been so many guest judges up until this point. Daniel had actually cooked for his literal hero and several other icons he had looked up to for so long.  And yet? He had never been more determined to impress someone like he wanted to impress Liberty.  His intentions had never been so clear.  On a normal occasion, he’d worry about how others would perceive him, but today he didn’t care if everyone knew how weak he as for the girl before him.  He had a feeling anyone would understand if they were in his shoes.  It was hard to resist her after having already felt her smile at him while encourage his every few actions.  

“I warn you, Miss Liberty, but cooking and flirting aren’t my only talent.” Daniel grinned. He was sure that the cameras subtly caught his actions, but he still only winked in the direction of the beauty queen.  He leaned in closer to her, close enough to smell her perfume, and he was tempted to kiss her then.  He knew it would cause a scandal, maybe even his early exit from the show, but the thought was so tempting.  Somehow, though, Daniel managed to stay strong.  “When we’re done filming, I can show you all the other things I have to offer.”

❛❛ wait , did you just say you love me? ❜❜ (daniel/helena)

“I said cake. Totally said cake.” Daniel tried to cover up, afraid that she wouldn’t feel the same.

“I wanted to make sure that you were okay...?” ( page / daniel )

Daniel was already overwhelmed by the all the English words she had said (he didn’t understand much of what she had said) but what made it even worse, was the announced hug. He hated hugs, especially being touched. It made him all sorts of uncomfortable. His eyes widen and he tried despertaley to break free but her grip seemed to be very tight. He didn’t know what to do, was he just supposed to stand their and take it, would this be the death of him? What would they put on his gravestone, death by hugs ? Millions of thoughts ran through his head. Finally, he blearted out some of the English words he knew. 

“I am okay.”

‘ tell me you own me. ’ (cy@dan)

“Someone wants to be dominated, huh?” Daniel says as a predatory smile crosses over his face. He loved when Cyrus was dominate of course, but he also liked when the other was submissive to him as well. “Your wish is my command. You’re mine. I own every inch of you. It’s only mine to touch.”

[xinthesewallsx]

‘ keep me forever. ’ (cy@dan)

Daniel smiled at Cyrus, shaking his head in fondness. “You do know that was my plan all along, right? I don’t plan to ever give you up. I don’t think I physically can always.” Intertwining their fingers, he brings the other’s hand up to press a kiss to it. “You’re not getting rid of me. I promise, I’m here forever.”
