Chapter 9: Only Jay, Only Danial

They spent the day cuddling and kissing on the couch, till 5 p.m. when Jay looked up at his wall clock and saw how late it was. Danial was cuddled against his chest, sitting in between his legs. The brunette kissed Danial’s temple as he moved to get up from behind the happy blonde.

“Where do you think you’re going Deku,” Danial asked, irritated that his human heater was moving. He had been enjoying his time with Jay far more than he would ever admit.

“We have a dinner date tonight, Danny. Did you forget,” Jay said amused as he moved to stand behind the couch. Leaning down to kiss the top of Danial’s head. Danial’s eyes went wide with the realization that he had forgotten and needed to get ready. They had agreed this morning to leave for the restaurant at 6:30 and that left him with only an hour and a half to get ready. Jay laughed as Danial launched himself off the couch, grabbed his keys, and was out the door to his apartment across the hall. “God, I love him,” Jay said to himself, happy that Danial was so excited for their first date.

He made his way into his room to decide what he was going to wear. He had snuck away that morning to make reservations at the best restaurant in the city for 7. It was about a 15-minute drive to the restaurant from their apartment building. Jay hoped Danial would like the place he picked for their date.

Jay stared at his closet trying to decide what he should wear, he eventually settled on; a red button-up with a black vest, black dress pants, a thick leather wristwatch, and fancy black shoes. He jumped in the shower, and when he got out, he started on the hardest challenge of all, taming his wild curls. He spent a good 20 minutes making sure his hair was perfect before putting green studs in his ears. ‘Perfect.’ He thought, giving himself a once over. Looking over at his alarm clock, he saw it was already 6:25. He decided to head over to Danial’s a little early and see if he was ready to go.

Knocking on the door, Jay waited patiently for his date to answer. Slowly becoming more and more nervous over the outfit he had chosen. When Danial finally opened the door, he forgot all his fears and anxieties. The blonde was absolutely stunning in his; green button-up with the first couple of buttons undone, black skinny jeans, an assortment of bracelets, a single charm necklace, and red studs in his ears. Jay was completely speechless as he stared down at the blonde.

Danial’s face got a slight blush when he saw the amazed look on Jay’s face. He took in the brunette’s outfit and found himself blushing even more, not to mention making it even harder to wait to not jump Jay. ‘Breath in, breath out.’ Danial kept telling himself as he looked up into mesmerizing jade eyes.

“You ready to go Danny,” Jay asks softly, reaching his hand out for Danial to take. Danial looked from jade eyes then to the outstretched hand then back again, before giving Jay a bright smile, grabbing his keys and taking his hand.

“Is this where we are eating,” Danial asked stunned. Plus Ultra was the most exclusive restaurant in town and was impossibly hard to get into if you didn’t make a reservation months in advance. Not even he had eaten there before, and his parents had only been once or twice.

“Yep, I got us a table on the balcony. I hope that is okay,” Jay asks opening the door for his date.

“Okay?! That’s amazing! How did you arrange this in one day,” Danial asks stunned gawking up at the tall brunette while holding his hand as they make their way inside. Jay chuckles kissing Danial’s hand.

“Hello, do you have a reservation,” asks the hostess.

“Yes, under Fuqua.” The hostess looks through the book, before finding the name.

“JJ Fuqua?” Danial snorts, trying to stop himself from laughing at Jay's embarrassed face.

“Of course, that is the name he put down. Damn rat… yes… JJ Fuqua, that is me.” It was so funny watching Jay’s face contort saying that both the hostess and Danial were trying not to laugh.

“Right this way sir.” She leads them through the restaurant and onto the balcony, only to find it completely empty. Just one table with a small lit candle and a small vase of red roses.

“Here you are, just as instructed. Your server will be out shortly to get your drink order.” With that, the hostess heads back inside as Jay pulls out Danial’s chair for him to sit down. No one had ever treated Danial like this, let alone gone through so much trouble for him. Sure, they never got farther than one date, but still this was more than the blonde could ever dream of.

“Thank you, Deku… for all of this. And you never answered my question from earlier,” Danial says, watching Jay smile taking his seat across from him.

“I guess I do owe you an explanation, don’t I? Well, the man who owns the restaurant, I know from my mentor. Hank and Edward, besides Skyler, are the only people I have left from before my mental state decided to take a dump. After my mom passed, they were the ones who checked in on me to make sure I was safe and was taking care of myself. I actually lived with Edward for a year when I almost… when I cut too deep.” Jay told Danial, getting more uncomfortable the more he spoke. storm eyes softened as he reached over the table to grab one of Jay’s hands.

“Remind me to thank them for looking after you… and making it possible for us to meet,” Danial said, trying to not blush. ‘When did I turn into a sappy romance novel?!’ He thought surprising himself with how soft he was being with the taller male. Before Jay could reply, their server came out with a bottle of wine.

“Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae Malbec 2016, as requested. Would you like me to open the bottle before taking your order?” As Jay spoke to the waitress, Danial could only think one thing. How the hell did he afford the most popular wine in the world? They ordered their food after the waitress opened the bottle of wine for them before going back to place their order.

“Deku, how did you afford that bottle of wine?” He was still baffled, even more so once he took a sip of the most delicious glass of wine he had ever had.

“Honestly, that wasn’t me. Hank must have asked them to set it aside for us. This is the first time I’ve asked for a table for a date before. He must have been happier than he sounded on the phone this morning.” Jay was positively adorable right now, seeing him awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck and sitting back in his chair. Danial chuckled giving the embarrassed nerd a smug smirk.

“I think at this rate I should just give the two of them free stuff for the rest of their lives. Then I might actually be able to repay them,” Danial smirks taking another sip of his wine.

The dinner was nothing short of perfect. They laughed and told stories the entire time. They get to know each other more and more, finding out that they are a perfect match, almost like they are soul mates. By the end of dinner, they are both completely smitten with the other. Jay paid for the meal like a gentleman, much to Danial's protest, but Jay wasn’t having it.

“I asked you out. I pay.” Was all he said, opening the door for Danial to make their way to Jay’s car.

“Deku… we never talked about… about me being King,” Danial said scared of what Jay was going to say. Jay stopped walking as they stood by the passenger side door, taking both the blonde’s hands in his own.

“Danny, I understand why you never said anything and… I’m sorry. Sorry that you had to find out like you did that I have mental… problems.” Jay was looking down at their joint hands, rubbing his thumb along the back of the smaller hands.

“Jay, I don’t care that you have mental illnesses. All I care about is you.” Jade eyes look up into sincere stormy blue ones, a soft smile on Danial's face.

Jay had no words, that was single-handedly the most romantic thing anyone had ever said to him. With a gentle smile, he leans down to capture Danial’s perfect lips with his own. He backs Danial up against the car and brings his hands up to cup the blonde's face. When they finally pull apart, they are both flushed and panting.

“Thank you for saying that, Danny.” Their foreheads against each other, enjoying contact.

“I should also probably tell you that… I’m the secret chef Simon stole food from that one night.” Jay’s eyes flew open as he took his face away from Danial’s, surprising the shorter male.

“That was you!” A huge smile spread across the brunette’s face as he once again brought Danial in for a rough kiss. “I think there is no one luckier than me in the world right now. Can you please make your katsudon for me tomorrow,” Jay asks with hope shining in his pleading jade eyes. Danial laughs while nodding his head. ‘Best day ever.’ They both think as they drive back to their apartment building.

They walked out of the elevator towards their doors, neither one wanting to leave the other. Once they finally got to their doors, they turned to look at each other. Jay knew that he wanted Danial to stay the night with him again, but didn’t know how to ask. He timidly met Danial’s smug blue eyes with a shy smile.

“Grab some clothes nerd, you have five minutes before I lock my door for the night.” Jay froze, not having any idea what was happening or what he should do. Danial raised an eyebrow, annoyed. “Deku. Move. Now!” With that, the brunette snapped out of his thoughts and ran into his apartment to get an overnight bag. Danial smirked, unlocked his door, and walked inside. Just as he was about to walk into his room to put on his pajamas, there was a knock on his door. He opened the door to find a very out-of-breath brunette holding a duffle bag.

“I didn’t know what to pack or how long you would want me to stay with you so I just packed enough for a night, but if you want, I can always go grab more clothes or-” Danial yanks the rambling man into his apartment before putting his hand over the other's mouth, glaring at him.

“Deku, chill. You are fine. I have the exact layout of your apartment, so you know where the bathroom is. I am going to go change and you can too if you want. Unless you wanna get changed with me? I mean, I already saw you in your underwear. Actually, you know what, just sleep in those again.” Danial says smirking, winking at a very flushed and embarrassed Jay. ‘He looks like a strawberry.’ Danial chuckles, walking into his bedroom. It only took a minute before Jay hurried after him, still blushing a little.

“You are going to be the death of me,” Jay says sarcastically, chuckling, starting to unbutton his shirt. When he sees Danial staring at him, his mouth slightly opens gaping at him. Now it was Jay’s turn to smirk as slowly slid his shirt off his shoulder making sure to flex every muscle as the shirt fell from his body. Teasing the blonde that had been driving him nuts all night. He starts to unbutton his pants, smugly smirking looking into lustful blue eyes. “You gonna get undressed, Danny,” Jay says while drawing out the name seductively. He walked over to stand directly in front of a blushing Danial, his pants unbuttoned and hanging loose around his hips as he towered over him. Jay gazed down at the blushing mess, leaning in to brush their noses together. Danial sucked in a breath, feeling the arousal building along with his cock.

‘Fuck, this is his revenge from earlier, isn’t it.’ Danial thinks grabbing Jay by his belt loops and pulling him all the way against Danial, standing on his tippy toes to smash his lips against the brunettes. Jay kisses him back instantly, trying to deepen the kiss, but Danial pulls back before he can.

“If we don’t stop now, I will not be able to keep myself from making you fuck me. So, take off your pants and get in bed. I have a TV in here. We can watch a movie before bed,” Danial says, slightly panting staring at Jay’s parted lips so very tempted to say fuck it and push Jay down on his bed, climb onto that thick cock, and hop up and down on it. Taking a deep breath, Jay looks from Danial’s lips to his blue eyes which are filled to the brim with desire.

“Ya, that sounds good.” Neither moved for a couple of seconds before finally finding the strength to get ready for bed. Once they were finally in bed and curled up, Jay sat up against the headboard with Danial curled up on his chest as they watched an All Might movie. Large hands rubbing up and down on a pale back.

“Best date ever,” Danial says smiling. Jay hums happily holding his love tighter to his chest.

“Best date ever.”
