With Your Kiss, My Life Begins [Harriet]

[Danny Bailey]

Danny made an unhappy noise when Harriet sat on him, burying his face in her hair. He didn't particularly want to talk, then again, he didn't particularly want Harriet to beat up Oliver either. So he just snuggled into her some more, wrapping his arms around her and selfishly hugging her to him. Take that Bryn Kennedy! The woman was his. At least for now. And y'know, normally he wouldn't mind sharing, but people being happy was just entirely unfair right now.

"First he said that I couldn't be in love with him. Like, yeah, I chose to or something. He was all like, I can't be good for you, you deserve to be happy, and he called me Evan so he remembered our night on the pitch. And then he was all I told you. It wouldn't be easy, I told you. Even if I really, really loved you and you were all I had and my life depended on you, I'd probably still act the same way. So he doesn't, but then he said it wasn't ever going to be easy so I figured maybe...cause like, he leaned in to kiss me"

At this he scoffed, remembering how used he'd felt and how desperately he'd wanted the other to kiss him. "Which, you know, I really kinda wanted but then I told him he couldn't just do that. He got pissed and all, cause I suggested he just wanted something easy from me, and then he even SAID that he liked me, and then it all just went to hell." He sighed deeply, ignoring the fact that he'd offered to be friends in the first place, because they both knew that wasn't what he REALLY wanted.
