SN WIP: Danny/Accounting

[out_there]

Hmmm… I wonder if Celli's asleep yet? Knowing her, she probably isn't, but she *should* be.

*yawns and longs for her own bed*

Anyway, as you all know, this isn't beta'd, so… yes, rough. But at least it's the end of this fic. Previous bits here, here, here and here. I'm currently thinking of calling it "Insane Troll Logic" because, y'know, BtVS reference, but if anyone has a better idea, please do suggest it.

Casey noticed that Dan was edgy all through the show, but he really couldn't blame him. When the credits started rolling, Dan was up and pulling off his earpiece within seconds.

"Where are you guys going?" Natalie asked as Casey started to follow Dan.

"Dan has to check something online," Casey replied as he walked off.

"But what about the blue margaritas?"

"We'll join you guys down there," Casey called over his shoulder. When he got to their office, Dan was already in front of the laptop, taping his fingers impatiently on the table top.

"This thing is never going to load. It's going to keep me sitting here, for the rest of my natural life, as it refuses to load. Casey, you may need to consider going for supplies..." Dan stopped to type in some access code and then hit enter. "Load, load, load, load, load," Dan muttered under his breath while he nervously jittered.

Casey walked around the table. The white screen remained blank, and Casey ended up pressing a hand down on Dan's shoulder just to stop him bouncing out of his chair. "Danny? Breathe."

Without looking, Dan reached up and grasped Casey's hand. "I am breathing. I am doing a good job of breathing, an excellent example of breathing, but-" Dan stopped as the result finally loaded. "Yes!"

Casey bent down and leaned over Dan's shoulder to get a better view. "Ninety-three percent..." he read aloud, and then turned his head to see Dan's triumphant grin. "Ninety-three percent, Danny."

"I have a feeling that standardised tests are my friends," Dan said lightly, but the thrilled expression didn't leave his eyes.

"And that you had a good study-buddy," Casey replied with a grin, noticing that Dan's hand was still holding his.

Dan squeezed his hand and then his smile became a little more reckless. "Thank you," Dan said tenderly, and then tilted his head to cover the few inches between their lips. Dan's mouth was soft and warm on his, and even though it was an extremely strange angle, it was a nice kiss.

Casey rested his forehead against the side of Dan's cheek and kept his tone playful. "Is that a new way of saying thanks?"

Dan chuckled. "I wouldn't call it new." Dan let go of Casey's hand and stood up. "I mean, it's not a sudden invention or anything."

Casey backed up a few steps and Dan walked around the chair. "But is it just… saying thanks?"

Dan stepped closer and ran a hand along his shoulder. "It's paying up what I owe."

Dan leaned closer, breathing against the side of Casey's neck and making Casey shiver. "Owe?" he asked mindlessly.

"Wasn't it twenty dollars for a kiss?" Dan murmured and then started nuzzling Casey's neck.

Casey swallowed and found his arms wrapping around Dan's shoulders. "Um, Danny?"

Dan didn't stop his sucking kisses. "Mmm?"

"That kiss was nice and all-" Casey gasped as Dan bit down sharply. "But I don't think it was…" Casey paused and tried not to moan as Dan slowly ran his tongue over that sensitive area of skin. "…worth twenty dollars…"

Dan stopped and pulled back, looking Casey in the eye. "You don't, huh?"

"No, I don't."

Dan's lips twitched. "Well, I wouldn't want you to feel cheated."

Casey grinned and raised an eyebrow. "No?"

"It'd be bad for business," Dan said, licking his lips and staring at Casey's mouth. "Word of mouth is very important."

Casey didn't trust his voice, so he just nodded.

Dan licked his lips again and then kissed him. It was soft and warm, but without the awkward angle of the last kiss. Dan's fingers threaded through his hair, pulling him closer. Casey closed his eyes and followed the urging of Dan's hands, the teasing suggestions of Dan's tongue.

One of Dan's hands slid down to the small of Casey's back, and Casey groaned as Dan started rocking against him lightly. Casey found himself thinking that accounting might not be Dan's forte, but kissing certainly was.

When Dan pulled back, they were both slightly breathless. "Better?"

"Much," Casey said hoarsely. Dan's face split into a wide grin and then Casey realised something. "Damn."

Dan face quickly fell. "What?"

"I need to go to the ATM," Casey said seriously.

Dan blinked. "Why?"

"I'm all out of twenties," Casey replied, leaning forward to press a light kiss against Dan's cheek. Dan stared at him for a moment, and then started chuckling. Pressed tight against Dan, Casey could feel his chest shake with laughter.

"We're still using the accrual system, right?" Dan breathed into his ear. Casey dug his fingers into Dan's shoulders and nodded. "In that case, I'll let you put it on credit."

The End

Hope you're starting to feel better sweetie. *smooches*

Thanks. *hugs you*

On the good side, your reward for getting through a long day will be Danny/Casey kissing. That's a pretty good reward. *g*

I like 'Insane Troll Logic' as a title!

And I also adore the Danny/Casey first-time kiss. Perfect ending too.
