Weeo woooe weeo wooeThe police sirens rang as they arrested the protesting woman.
"My Daniel! He's mine. Don't try to come between our love!"
The woman screeched loudly as she was getting dragged away, you stood there watching her along with little Daniel who had a complex expression on his face.
The cops bowed before finally driving away, leaving the two of you.
...
Daniel remained quiet. You couldn't exactly see what kind of expression he was making, since his glasses covered his eyes completely.
A frown formed on your face.
Why should Daniel suffer just because he showed kindness to a woman? What made that woman think that he was going to be happy with this?
You looked down at Daniel, opening his mouth to say something. "Thank you M/n. If it weren't for you I-"
Daniel's voice faded off, an unsure look on his face as he looked down the ground.
You're just glad that you were able to resolve this before something more bad happened to Daniel. If you remember it right, the stalker tases and kidnaps both the bodies the next day.
Luckily, you were able to prevent her from knowing about the two bodies just yet.
You sighed in relief, looking down at Daniel who still had an unreadable expression.
It was subtle but.. He was trembling.
No matter what, this event was hella traumatic. Just finding a stranger hiding inside your kitchen cabinet. That alone made you want to move houses.
".Daniel, are you going to be okay?"
"Thanks. M/n."
"Huh?"
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found her."
Daniel smiled with gratitude, which shocked you a bit. You grinned back at him. Of course, the main character stands strong despite the events that he experienced just now. You didn't expected that he'd be this optimistic, but he's Daniel. One of the best lookism characters. The walking green flag. So he'll get through it somehow.
That's that.
So why was he still trembling?
"Eh?"
Daniel froze as you swiftly pulled him into a hug.
Truthfully, he was shocked. To the core. What would've happened if he refused you when you tried to help him? If that was so, the stalker would still be living in his house. And he'd not know anything.
Just thinking about it gave him chills.
He lifted his arms to hug you back. It was comforting. He wanted to be the one to comfort you, and yet the opposite was happening right now. Your warmth, your heart beat, your breathing, your scent. Everything was so warm, so fuzzy and reassuring, that he couldn't help but want to stay like this with you forever.
Come to think of it. Most people Daniel knew, all had different reactions to both of his bodies. Yet you never treated him differently at all. It was as if, you knew he was one person all along.
He chuckled at the thought.
Yeah.
There was no way you would've actually known, since it was a bit of a stretch.
