Chapter 4

Danny awoke from his slumber with the feeling of weight against his back and a headache from hell to contend with. Slowly opening his eyes he was greeted with sunlight flashing into his room from the window next to his bed. The instant flash to his eyes temporarily blinded him and pain seared on top of what was already there. He groaned his frustration and turned towards the wall but was stopped by an object of large scale.

Lying next to him was a beautiful man with blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes which were currently closed. His large frame, packed with muscle, was blocking his path to the "wall of darkness" as Danny referred it. He smiled subconsciously and grabbed the sleeping man in front of him by the waist pulling himself closer into the man's chest. The man pulled Danny closer to him and held onto him protectively. Danny sighed in slight content until he realized what was happening.

His splitting headache was reminding him that he was sober, or sobering, on all levels of the word. His eyes told him that this man in front of him was with him all night and that some sort of sexual contact was made because they were both naked. His ears told him that the fucking birds outside his window had yet to die because they were singing in his ear and that his partner in bed was still asleep. His mouth told him that it was time for food or some other sort of activity to keep it satisfied. Everything was coming all at once and he couldn't stop it.

Slowly maneuvering out of Dash's grip, and slowly getting off the bed, Danny was successful in grabbing his boxers and assorted items to go down the hall for some refreshing airway treatments. He walked down to the bathroom and locked himself in as he prepared his bowl with the pleasure filled grass he loved so much. He opened the window which caused him to shiver from the cold rush of air that hit him right after he opened it. He took the first hit from the pipe and choked a little, but kept it in as long as possible before letting it out.

Danny sighed in content as his body responded to the drug that was quickly infiltrating his systems and causing his feel good feelings to emerge. He took another hit and sat down on the floor smiling from the feeling it caused. His headache was slowly going away and he felt good to be in that state once more. His third drag caused him the most happiness because it was the final drag before all his pain was gone. Anything he smoked after that was just adding on to his feel good nature. He finished his drug, cleaned the wares and moved out of the bathroom back to his own room.

Dash was still there but he was awake and sitting up on the bed in his boxers about to pull up his pants. Danny being of sound mind and body, to a certain extent, quickly jumped Dash before he could finish putting his pants on and pushed him down on the bed. Dash laughed when Danny straddled him and held his arms down on the bed.

"Well good morning to you too Danny." Dash said when Danny began grinding against him. He wasn't against him doing it, but who knew he could do it so well. Dash smiled at Danny and captured his lips in a kiss. It wasn't rough but it wasn't soft either. He supposed it was just with a need. Like a drug addiction of sorts. With his need satisfied Danny pulled back and looked at the handsome man under him. He never realized Dash's eyes could be such a deep hue of blue, probably because he could barely keep his attention on one thing for more than a minute. Danny rolled over Dash and off the bed walking to the dresser.

"You're more than welcome to borrow what you need for school. I'm going to grab a quick shower before we go." Danny looked over his shoulder and smirked at Dash, "you're more than welcome to join me if you'd like." Before he could walk out of the room Dash was on him practically carrying him to the bathroom.

Once again Danny found himself bored in class only this one was math and he detested it with a passion. So not only was he bored out of his mind he had to listen to Tucker go on and on fighting with the teacher about how to teach his class. Lucky for Danny, Sam was also part of this class and they shared in their detest of math. Sam passed a notebook back to Danny with the conversation they were having.

So is it just me or is Tucker really arguing over 2+2?

Danny almost busted out laughing but was able to hold it in long enough to write a response back and pass it along.

I guess so… I always thought it was 5 or fish… I can never remember.

Sam snorted and rolled her eyes. She chuckled as she wrote her response and passed it back.

The only reason you think it is fish is because you're stoned and lost some of your brain cells.

Danny smirked and shook his head looking at Sam. She smiled as the teacher call out Danny's name and he looked up to the front of the class with the deer in the headlights look.

"Could you please inform the class of the answer for question 10?" the teacher asked knowing full well Danny wasn't paying attention and wasn't even on the right page. Danny looked down and tried to remember what today's class was on, but failed to remember anything but 2+2, fish and Dash's member which he knew none of them were correct. He looked down and there was a piece of paper in front of him showing him the correct answer. Under the answer was the word FISH circled several times. Danny smirked and looked up and very confidently announced "Fish…"

The class immediately roared with laughter and Danny smirked chuckling to himself. Sam was laughing the hardest and practically fell out of her chair. The teacher, of course, found none of it to be funny and shouted for the class to be silent. After about two more minutes of laughing the class was silent again and the teacher began the ass ripping Danny expected to get. After a ten minute long speech Danny finally, reluctantly, gave the correct answer and his reward? Two day stay in detention for class room disruption for a five second joke. Danny rolled his eyes and took the slip from the teacher after class ended as he walked out the door.

While walking down the hall toward his next class, Danny glanced down the hall and caught Dash's eye. The bad boy look was back on his face and of course it made Danny's blood boil with desire. However he knew this encounter would not end in pleasurable release, but possibly a bloody fist or face. While Dash was a wonderful focus he was also not alone in his stride down the hallway. Kwan, best bro to the quarterback, was walking next to him discussing strategies for the match in P.E. Dash, of course, noticed Danny immediately and tried to hide it as long as possible. As if he could hold off the inevitable, fate was such a bitch.

"Dash look it's Fenton, without his geek squad too, what a catch!" Kwan said punching Dash in the arm as if to spark interest in torturing their new prey. Dash smirked which only caused waves of desire to increase in Danny's bloodstream. "Yes look what we have here, a lone wolf without his pack to protect him. Whatever will he do now?" Dash said circling Danny fully before returning to his position next to Kwan. Danny, eyeing him the entire time, could see the same desire burning in Dash's eyes and he knew this was all play. Well two could play this game.

"Well if it isn't my favorite Jock squad. Given any good swirlies lately? That is you goons know how to flush a toilet right?" Danny said looking at Kwan smirking. Kwan flushed red with anger, but Dash was already way ahead of him with the returns. "Of course we haven't done swirlies lately Danny. However you could be our start to the return of them." Dash said stepping forward pushing his power forward as well. Kwan smirked and turned to watch the scene unfold, completely unaware that is exactly what it was, a scene.

"Please Dash; do you really expect me to believe you'll get me in a bathroom alone with you? Let alone in a stall in said bathroom? Grow up" Danny said stepping forward almost chest to chest with Dash. He smirked and knew it was killing Dash to be so close and not be able to touch, but he was willing to test the waters of loyalty. Dash looked at him with pleading eyes as if to say 'Don't make me do this.' Danny shook his head and turned to walk away when Dash grabbed both his arms and locked them in one of his large hands behind Danny's back. "Wrong answer" was all that was said.

Next thing Danny knows he is being dragged to the nearest bathroom by Kwan and some other goon and shoved into a stall to await his fate. Danny rolled his eyes and mentally kicked himself. 'Of course he'd pick the goons you idiot! You're a random piece of ass until proven otherwise.' He could hear shuffling of feet just outside the door and some conversation outside the bathroom but he was unable to make out the words. Go figure. After the mumbling finished a figure came into the bathroom and evidentially kicked everyone out and locked the bathroom door. 'Great now not only am I a swirly victim, I'm a swirly victim with no escape, perfect.' Danny thought as the figure came closer.

"Do you honestly think I'd let them swirly you? That's like ninth grade kid stuff." Dash said as he opened the stall door. "I'm glad you suggested it though. Distracted Kwan nicely, he likes old method torturing." Dash grabbed Danny by the hem of his shirt and pulled him in for a kiss. Danny willingly took it and kissed back harder. Once released Danny smirked and laced his hands together behind Dash's head. He liked the look in Dash's eyes, a mixture of desire and concern at the same time. It made him chuckle and kiss the man again.

"You know I was hoping for a bloody fist fight or at least an offset jaw. We are eighteen now, not twelve. However it was the only thing I could come up with at the time. I was thinking other thoughts that may have been inappropriate for the situation." Danny proved his point by rubbing his leg against Dash's member which was half hard, probably since he grabbed Danny's arms at least. Dash's response was a grunt as Danny continued to rub him through his jeans.

Once Danny was fully satisfied knowing Dash would walk around hard for at least another twenty minutes he stopped. Dash groaned and tried to return the contact but was unsuccessful. "So I'm pretty sure it'll look odd if we walk out me dry and you hard. How about a little flush…" Danny flushed the toilet in the closest stall to the door. "And a little water…" Danny turned on the faucet at the sink and began soaking his head and shoulders with cold water. He pulled Dash over and soaked his right arm with water to look like he had held Danny's head under. "There, perfect. Now just to rid you of that" Danny said pointing at the obvious bulge in Dash's pants. Of course Danny knew exactly how to get rid of it and he had no problem getting that part of Dash's anatomy wet.

Ten minutes and some choked off groans later, Dash walked out of the bathroom satisfied and Danny followed suit, only dripping wet and out of breath. The ragged breathing wasn't exaggerated either, he held his breath while giving Dash head only breathing when necessary to ensure a good show when they walked out. Of course the boys were waiting for them and hooted and hollered when they came out. Kwan high fived Dash as they walked down the hallway together to their next class. Sam, who just happened to be in the girls' bathroom at the time of the boys' exit, walked out and observed Danny with a skeptical eye.

"Its sink water I swear." Danny quickly corrected any thought Sam had and walked down the hallway throwing up his arms. Sam sighed while smiling and followed him to their favorite classroom for pre physics pot session. Once securely in the room with shades drawn and window open did Sam finally question Danny on his physical state.

"You know I could have sworn swirlies went out of style years ago. Fist fighting seems to be more practical don't you think?" Sam asked as she took the first hit and passed the bowl to her best friend. Danny shrugged "That's what I said, but apparently we're still Neanderthal enough to play such games. Besides its only sink water, Dash was nice enough to drown me in 'clean' water instead of the alternative." Danny half lied as he passed the bowl back and exhaled coughing some at the end of the stream of smoke.

"Dash being nice, that's weird isn't it? I mean I know you guys have some mutual agreement, but that has never stopped him before." Sam dragged and exhaled passing the bowl back. "This 'mutual agreement' is complicated. We haven't talked about it yet, but I think we've been too engrossed in sexual desire that we've completely ignored all that." Danny dragged and exhaled smiling. He could feel the drugs working their magic once more, sending him high in the sky. Sam rolled her eyes and took the remaining drag left and emptied the bowl cleaning all the evidence out.

"Well whatever it is hopefully it doesn't end up hurting you." Sam rapped his arm with her fist and motioned with her head for them to exit to the next class. "Shall we? Physics won't be boring without us there to bitch about it."

Danny sighed as his physics class dragged on forever. He felt almost hypnotized by the endless theories and laws not to mention the monotone voice that the teacher had didn't help. He was just about ready to let go and fall asleep when the phone rang on the teacher's desk. Danny, one who is skeptical of most things, had a very bad feeling he wouldn't be finishing class. As if on cue, he pointed in Danny's direction and then to the door as if to say 'get out!' Danny rolled his eyes and got up grabbed his stuff, knowing he wouldn't be back, and nodded at Sam before exiting.

This wasn't the first time he'd been called down to the office. He didn't even have to be told anymore where he was going, he just went. Of course to no surprise when he got there his father was waiting for him, patiently drumming his hand on his knee, appearing to be perfectly innocent. Danny backed up out of the view of the office and froze to the wall. Questions ran through his mind as he stood there trying to breathe through his current dilemma. He thanked whatever god there was that he smoked before class. Convincing himself nothing was wrong he stepped into the office waiting for his father's wrath.

"Danny we're leaving. There are some things we need to do," Jack said standing up and waving his goodbye to the clerk at the desk. Danny walked out with him without an argument which stunned Jack. Once on the road Jack finally spoke. "So where have you been the last two days?" His question left open without accusation. Danny was on to him though; he knew that Jack wanted him to tell where he was instead of guessing for himself, that'll be later. Danny wasn't about to spill something to Jack if he didn't know anything.

"I've been busy. Keeping myself scarce just like you like it," Danny knew being a smart ass wouldn't be a good idea, but at this point he didn't care. He was in trouble regardless of what he did or said. Jack frowned keeping his eyes on the road. "I'm still your father you need to let me know where you are when you go out." The gruff way he said it however contradicted the way the message was implied. Danny rolled his eyes watching the scenery go by without interest.

He was becoming nervous at what his father planned for them. Although his father had never tried to hurt him intentionally; and Danny could take him, he wouldn't put anything past his father. However what his father said next made him feel a lot of things. "So you remember my friend from college Vlad right?" Jack asked sincerely. Danny's stomach dropped out but also was easy to pull back up. The ghost that haunted him years ago had left him alone recently, but now has come back into the picture via his father. He stopped worrying after losing his powers because what does a ghost of his power need with a no longer ghost teenager? Danny was skeptical about where this was going.

"Yes I remember. What does he have to do with this?" Danny questioned motioning with his hands their current surroundings. Jack smiled and looked over for the first time and it wasn't a genuine smile, it was evil. "He wants to stay with us for a few days while some work on his house gets done." Jack said trying to cover some of his evil plan. It clicked there for Danny that Jack knew he and Vlad were not on good terms. How he knew was beside the point, but anything to torment Danny was a perfect plan for Jack.

"I'm going to go out on a limb and say you told him he could." Danny said disinterested as he looked out the window. He wasn't sure what his situation with Vlad would be now that his powers were gone, but he wouldn't let his father know that Vlad was a concern. "As a matter of fact I did. He should be at the house when we get there. I figured you could help move your stuff into the basement so Vlad could have your room until he leaves." Jack said throwing a sideways glance to see Danny's reaction only Danny, however irritated he was, merely rolled his eyes and continued to look out the window.

Danny's reunion with the old ghost was less worrisome than previously thought. Vlad was quite behaved and even nice to him. Danny however expected this treatment in front of his father, but wasn't expecting the good behavior to continue even after his father left their presence. Vlad cornered Danny in his new basement living quarters seating himself in a chair on the opposite side of the room.

"Well Danny this is quite the predicament. I never thought we'd be in such a situation. How long have you been without powers?" Vlad asked almost concerned. Danny held the same tactic with Vlad as he had with his father, no unnecessary leak of information. "Not long, its very odd not having them since I've had them so long." Danny said being very vague as he placed clothes into his dresser. "Why does my sudden loss of powers concern you?" Danny asked legitimately.

"Well to be honest you losing your powers do not concern me. It's the fact that they can be lost concerns me. If your father has finally created a machine that can kill ghosts and rid halfas from the world that concerns me deeply." Vlad confessed. Danny wasn't surprised by the statement. Vlad had quite a bit invested in the ghosts that haunted Amity Park but his father was harmless to them. However if Vlad was not privy to this information then why give it out?

"My father's machine is quite capable of doing so yes. I cannot tell you where it is though and before you ask I honestly don't know where it is. That incident is still quite a blur to me." Danny lied. His memory is quite hazy of the day it happened but he knew exactly where the machine in question was and wasn't afraid to do what it took to keep it away from him. Vlad didn't seem completely convinced but was satisfied and concerned with the confirmation that it did work and it wasn't a myth spread by the ghosts.

"Well that is terrible that you don't know where it is. I was hoping to confiscate it and have it destroyed, after I'd used it some myself of course." Vlad mused. "Of course, such a shame that you couldn't use it yourself to rid me of my powers," Danny knew exactly which ghost Vlad had intentions of using it on and it wasn't him. Months prior to Danny's loss of powers Vlad had attempted a prison break of sorts for the residents of the ghost prison. He failed thanks to Walker and his team of ghost guards and Danny's investigative work that tipped Walker off.

Danny shrugged and climbed on top of his bed opening the half window at the top of the concrete foundation, preparing to bring back the high that was waning its way out of him. Vlad narrowed his eyes at the recently remade non-ghost and was about to comment on the action but decided against it. Instead he stood up and made his way to the stairs stopping at the base. "Well I hope this stay has benefits for both of us…" Vlad stated trailing off at the end as he left up the stairs. Danny filled a pipe and took a hit off his bowl looking at the staircase as he tried hard not to think about Vlad's final words.
