Warnings? Just some swearing as usual and I didnât proof read so potential typos
A/n: I havenât written an imagine in literally FOREVER so this is probably actual garbage. Anywho I hope the few of you who are still active enjoy reading this :) I also have to redo the tag list because I forgot whoâs on it so let me know if you want to be added!
âDo I look okay?â you asked Daniel when you saw his figure appear in the reflection behind you as you smoothed out the shirt you had just put on.
âBeautiful as always, where are you going?â he asked.
âDidnât I already tell you?â you asked, being pretty sure you already mentioned your plans, âDylan invited me over with some people, just a casual hang out.â
âSo why do you care about looking good?â Daniel asked, laughing slightly as he rested his head on your shoulder, placing a gentle kiss in the crook of your neck.
âI donât know, because theyâre all likeâŚpopular and cooler than me,â you joked, turning around and getting your things ready to be able to go meet everyone.
âNot true, are really cool boyfriends allowed?â he asked, raising his eyebrows at you suggestively.
âI didnât ask Dyl, but I could if you want me to,â you shrugged.Â
Daniel felt a tinge of jealousy rise when he heard the nickname you had given to Dylan. He didnât care that you were friends with other guys, you were super close with all the other band members and had guy friends of your own, but Dylan was different.
He had been your celebrity crush for the longest time. Being a huge fan of Teen Wolf and the Maze Runner series as well, Dylan OâBrien was someone you lowkey fangirled over, and Daniel knew it.
He never had a problem with it, because obviously everyone has celebrity crushes, and Daniel found it almost amusing how you reacted when you saw pictures or watched him on screen.
You had actually met Dylan for the first time a few months back at an event you both ended up being at. After talking there for a while, you both exchanged numbers and became friends.
Obviously you were ecstatic, and thought he was a really awesome person, but Daniel sometimes had different feelings towards the friendship you and Dylan had started.
âDyl?â Daniel said under his breath, rolling his eyes a little. He noticed you didnât hear him, and was sort of grateful for that in the moment.
âHe says you can come,â you smiled, reaching your arm out to him, waiting for him to take your hand, âwe have to go now though, Iâm already gonna be late!â
Dylan opened his front door, cheering loudly when he saw you, pulling you into a tight hug, which you happily reciprocated.
âHey Daniel,â he grinned, pulling Daniel in for a hug as well before stepping away from the doorway, letting you both through into the beautiful house. You admired the art hanging on the walls as you walked down the hall into the living room, where people were already sprawled out on couches, snacks and drinks in hand.
You and Daniel found a spot on the couch after greeting everyone who had already arrived, and picked up on the conversation they were having.
âY/N I was actually telling them about when we first met and how we became friends and stuff,â Dylan said as he sat on the other side of you.
âYeah definitely did not expect to actually become friends but Iâm happy we did,â you grinned, hitting his side lightly with your elbow, earning a laugh from him in return.
Dylan grabbed the popcorn bowl you had placed on your lap, shoving a handful in his mouth.
âAsshole did I say you could take that?â you challenged. You reached over to grab it back but Dylan pulled it away, leaving it out of reach.
âI didnât know I needed your permission,â Dylan teased and you reached again, being unable to reach it from where you were sitting.
You climbed over him, slightly sitting on his lap, grabbing the bowl and throwing a few pieces at his face before taking your spot back beside Daniel, whoâs eyebrows were furrowed as he watched your interaction beside him.
âYouâre such a shit,â you laughed as Dylan tossed a piece of popcorn back at you, a smirk dancing across his face.
Daniel stayed pretty quiet most of the time, and couldnât help but get upset over you and Dylan. To him, it always seemed like you were teasing each other flirtatiously, and you had so much to say and laughed at everything Dylan said. Daniel felt as if you forgot he was even there sitting next to you, except for the few times he joined in conversations or you turned back to give him a smile.
You, on the other hand, didnât think anything of it, but noticed after a while that Daniel was being unusually quiet, and he wasnât often shy in social situations like this one.
âWhatâs up?â you mumbled to him, making sure no one was able to hear, but everyone else was talking, so you knew there wouldnât be a problem.
âNothing,â he shrugged, not really wanting to get into it because he knew it was stupid for him to be upset over something like this.
âI know you, Danny, itâs not nothing,â you sighed, not wanting him to be passive aggressive with you even though thatâs the way things usually started out with him.
âWe donât have to talk about it here,â he replied softly, brushing it off.
âOkay, well weâre leaving soon anyway so we can talk about it then,â you told him before your name was called by someone who was bringing up a funny memory, so your focused returned back on the rest of the group, your hand resting on Danielâs thigh.
The care ride home was basically silent except for the radio that played lowly in the background. Despite it being set to a low volume, the sound consumed the car, when usually that consuming sound would be the conversations between you and Daniel, or your voice singing at the top of your lungs.
You waited until the two of you walked inside to bring it up to him, knowing you couldnât let this go anymore. Clearly something was bothering him enough to not even speak on the drive home, and you needed to know what it was.
âDaniel, seriously, just tell me whatâs wrong,â you told him, trying to hide the hint of annoyance threatening to be heard in your voice.
âI donât like him,â Daniel muttered as he disappeared into the kitchen to get water.
You followed, sighing to yourself as you asked who he was talking about even though you felt as though you already knew what his answer would be.
âWhy donât you like Dylan? Heâs great,â you asked him, not understanding how their encounter went wrong in any way, and it wasnât Danielâs first time meeting him either.
âI donât like how he is with you,â Daniel specified, looking down at his feet as he shifted his weight back and forth.
âWhat do you mean?â you asked.
âHe flirts with you all the time, and not only do you let him, but you do it right back,â he told you, a sense of irritation shining through as he spoke.
Before you could say anything, he continued.
âItâs as if Iâm not even there and Iâm especially not your boyfriend. Everything he says is SO funny and itâs like âoh my god Dylan youâre hilarious let me ruffle your hair or sit on your lapââ Daniel spat.
âOkay woah,â you stopped him, lifting your hands up to stop him from going further, âyouâre being ridiculous right now you know heâs just my friend.â
âReally? Do friends really act like that, Y/n?â Daniel asked, his voice raising slightly, but he wasnât screaming, he almost never yelled at you, which you were happy about.
âYes they do, Daniel! I literally act the exact same way with Jonah, Corbyn, Jack and Zach!â you defended, starting to get annoyed at the way he was acting.
âIts different!â he retaliated.
âHow, Daniel? Please fucking educate me,â you spat, crossing your arms over your chest as you looked at him, waiting for a proper explanation that was somewhat reasonable.
âBecause I know you find him attractive and have been basically in love with him for years!â Daniel said back, throwing his hands up in frustration as he expressed his feelings.
âOh my god Daniel so what if I had a little celebrity crush on him, would I freak out every single time you spoke to an attractive and sweet celebrity? Itâs platonic Daniel youâre being stupid,â you said, trying to remain calm even though you felt your anger rising.
âOh so Iâm stupid?â he asked.
âYeah, right now you are. Youâre being stupid by thinking Iâm flirting with Dylan when Iâm literally just trying to be friends with someone who I like to hang out with. Itâs not that deep, youâre looking so far into every little move and this new possessive shit isnât a good look on you,â you replied, not wanting to look into his eyes.
âWhatâs going on?â you heard a familiar voice say from behind you, and you noticed Jonah when you turned around, his eyebrows furrowed as he heard the last part of your conversation.
âNothing,â you sighed, âIâm going upstairs.â
âBe careful Jonah,â you added, putting your hand on his shoulder and looking back at Daniel, âI might suck your dick because I laugh when you say something funny,â you said sarcastically, scoffing as you walked off, leaving the boys in the kitchen.
âWhat was that?â Jonah asked, feeling even more confused now than when he first walked in.
âNothing,â Daniel groaned, âI got mad at her because we went to Dylanâs house and I got jealous.â
âDude,â Jonah sighed, trying to hide a small laugh from escaping him.
âGo talk to her,â Jonah urged, âdonât be mad over a dude sheâs friends with. Sheâs dating you, man, not him. You arenât like this with the rest of us when weâre with her, so donât be that way about him either.â
Daniel took Jonahâs advice and thanked him before jogging upstairs, opening the door a crack to look for you, and saw you lying on your stomach on your bed, head resting on the pillow.
âCan we talk?â Daniel asked as he walked in, âless petty and angry this time.â
âWhatever,â you muttered into your pillow, moving over so Daniel could sit next to you, which he did.
âLook, Iâm sorry baby, I know I was stupid,â Daniel started, knowing he needed to give up the fight if he wanted any chance of you forgiving him in the near future.
âI just got upset because he was your celebrity crush and we always made jokes that you would leave me for him if he asked you to. I guess it was more insecurity than jealousy. I donât hate him, in fact I think heâs awesome, and that makes me worried youâll stop loving me because you love him,â Daniel confessed, not liking revealing his true feelings to you, but he knew it had to be done.
âDaniel, those are just jokes, you know that,â you started, âyou know I would never actually leave you for Dylan OâBrien, heâs amazing, yeah, and Iâm really happy I get to build a friendship with him but I would never choose him over you.â
âReally?â Daniel asked. This time the question wasnât aggressive and challenging, but soft and full of hope.
âReally,â you confirmed, âyouâre the one I love, Daniel. Yeah heâs my friend and was my celebrity crush but heâs just a friend, you have nothing to worry about. But you canât do this every time I see him because I do want to be friends with him and you need to support that.â
âI do, I do support that,â Daniel nodded, âI donât know I guess watching you guys today got the better of me. You have the right to be friends with whoever you want, donât listen to your idiot boyfriend.â
âWe all doubt ourselves sometimes, Danny, itâs okay. Iâm sorry for getting angry too instead of just listening. Letâs not fight about this okay, this isnât us,â you comforted, reaching out to take his hand into yours.
âFight over,â he agreed, pressing a kiss to your temple before moving down to your lips. The kiss was full of love and forgiveness, and you knew everything was okay.
âDylan OâBrien is hot as fuck though you have to admit,â you joked, winking at Daniel before he pushed you, letting a laugh out.
âHonestly, Y/n, I would have to agree.
