You're More Than A Son To Me (Kirin & Hater)
Danny Phantom: You're More Than A Son To Me
http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs13/f/20..._bradsgurl.jpg Danny is tired of listening to his parents bicker. Sam always wanted to be with him, Tucker is his best friend, but, when Sam and Danny go out. Things...well they change. Danny is fine with being with Sam, but, she getting clingy. Jazz is off in the midst of cram school, and Tucker is always inventing or bugging Danny constantly in the middle of the night. Being annoyed with all of this and wanting to get away, Danny decides to call up Vlad Masters (yes, you heard right) and asks to stay up there for some time to clear his head. Of course Vlad things its a plan, and even though Danny should suggest a trap, he just wants someone to talk to or be around that won't annoy him or expect something from him. If that means becoming Vlad's son, then so be it, and how will everyone else take this? I will play... Vlad yay |
(OOC: Danny.)
Danny walks up the drive to Vlad's mansion. A part of his mind is thinking this is a trap, but he ignores it. He just had to get away from the city. From his life. He takes a deep breath as he knocks on the door. He was pleasantly surprised when Vlad had told him he was more then welcome to come stay with him for awhile, though why he had been surprised he doesn't honestly know. He readjusts the duffel bag on his shoulder waiting for somebody to answer the door. |
Vlad heard the doorbell ring, he knew he said Danny could stay anytime he wanted for awhile, but, he didn't think the kid would actually show up. So he wasn't sure who it was, he had an idea it was Danny, but, wasn't all that sure honestly. Putting his book down after closing it with the book mark inside it. It lay on the table as he moved to the door and opened it "Danny" Vlad said happily like he always did "It's good to see you, come on in" Vlad wondered if Danny was up to something, the kid never wanted to actually come here before without it being a trap for Vlad to fall into like that time with his sister. But, things could change, he just wasn't expecting it. Vlad stepped by to let Danny in, though he did take the boy's bags for him, "I have a room already picked out for you" it wasn't filled with traps and such, it was a room for a boy during the Victorian style.
|
"Thanks," Danny says with a small smile. He was really glad he had a place to escape to. He was sick of his life at home. He hadn't been surprised when Vlad had made the offer for him to come whenever he wanted, he was just surprised that he had taken Vlad up on the offer. He follows him to as the older halfa leads him to his room. "Just had to get away, you know. You probably do since you built your mansion way out here." He says tripping over his words.

(I will always have time to roleplay with you)
Vlad smiled a little as he set Danny's things down on a cushion long stool at the end of the bed, it was actually a trunk, a very old one. "All I ask is you don't destroy anything in this room, its very special, and most of it is really hard to come by now" Vlad spoke "Dinner will be at 6pm, please do at least come to dinner, eating is up to you, till them and after that its up to you on how to spend it" before Vlad left the room he asked or more like stated "If you ever just want to talk, I'll listen" Vlad left the room closing the door and headed back to the fire place, he would have the book out in front of him but would stare at the fire in his big red chair. |
Danny watches the older halfa leave. He's glad to know that Vlad will listen. He just wishes he knew how to put his thoughts into words. He lets out a sigh as he looks around the room. He takes in all the details, and a part of his mind wishes he could stay here forever, though he knows he can't. He sighs again, as he starts unpacking his bags. He wonders if his parents even realized he had left. They hadn't been noticing him much lately. Not that they noticed him much to start with. It just seemed to be far less now.
|
Vlad heard the phone ring about fifteen minutes later and put his book down once again. Standing up he went into the kitchen answering it, it was one of the many phones around the house that he had, and only two out of the house worked. "Hello?" Vlad answered hearing a voice asking where Danny was and have you seen him "Yes, yes, calm down, he is safe here, he doesn't wish to return just yet, no no don't worry, I told you it will be find, alright, bye now" and he hung up the phone trying to figure what would be good to make. He walked around the kitchen looking at different things and decided on something simple: Steak, mashed potatoes, and salad.
|
It's almost six when Danny finally finds his way to the kitchen. His eyes are a little red, as if he's been crying. He has changed and is wearing a nice pair of slacks and a t-shirt. He spots Vlad cooking and can't believe. He would have thought Vlad would have had servants do that sort of stuff for him. Danny smiles to himself. ~Guess you can't judge a book by it's cover.~ He thinks to himself. "Need any help?" He asks. He feels sort of bad for not coming down to offer to help sooner. He knows his mom would be disappointed in him. ~Not that it would be the first time.~
|
"Oh, you want to help? Sure, could you help stir the potatoes, I have the steaks on the grill and I don't what them to burn" Vlad asked, he didn't rush out of the room though, if the stakes were close to burning he could just fly out there using his ghostly powers. Though he did wait a moment to see that Danny's eyes were redder than before "Your eyes are a bit red, are you alright?" he knew the boy wasn't but didn't know how else to say it.
|
"I'm fine." He says going to stir the potatoes. He wasn't sure if or how to talk about what had been happening in his life. He would just keep lying to the everybody. Just like he always had. He had always told people he was fine, even when he wasn't. It was better this way. Wasn't it?
|
Vlad lets it go as he goes outside and gathers the steaks, having ghost powers was helpful and glad that he didn't turn the food into ghosts, he sometimes had the problem of messing things up that way. After getting the steaks he come back in setting the plate of steaks down on the counter. The potatoes were seasoned and mashed, so they would be good. The salad was already done, "How are the potatoes coming along Danny?" Vlad asked washing his hands at the sink.
|
"They are done." Danny says smiling, though the smile doesn't reach his eyes. He was only 18, yet he felt much older then that. He felt, as he often did, that the weight of the whole world was on his shoulders.
|
"Alright, would you mind helping setting the table while I put the food on the table?" Vlad asked picking up the steaks first to set out there, he already had the salt and pepper out there. All he needed to do was bowls, plates, silverware, and the cups for the drinks.
|
Danny nods and starts setting the table. "Thanks a lot for letting me come and stay here. I just needed to get away from it all." He says as he sets the table. "Things at home were getting to be to much." He says. He isn't sure why he's telling Vlad all this, it's just nice to have somebody to talk to.
|
"I understand getting away from things" Vlad said thinking how much of a baboon that Jack was, how lovely his mother was, and how much his sister was like mother just younger. "That's why I moved out here Daniel, it wasn't because I never had a chance with your mother, it was because all that life there was too much growing up." Vlad replied back as the table gets set and he takes a seat after pouring some iced tea for both of them.
|
"I can see the appeal of being out here. Though I am worried about what might be happening at home." He means with the ghosts and him not being there to take care of them. "I know my mom can handle it, if she didn't have to deal with my dad." He says sounding slightly disgusted. "You know, about a month ago, I almost told them about my being a halfa." He says as the sit down to eat.
|
"What stopped you?" Vlad asked adding "Your mother did quite well before you were born and even now she does well with ghosts" Vlad reassured him. He waited while he began to eat, wondering what Daniel would answer to. He was glad that he was okay with Daniel instead of Danny. Daniel just seemed to fit him better, at least Vlad thought that.
|
"I just, I just couldn't. I don't know why. Yeah she's good at hunting them." He says poking at the food on his plate. "It's just better if they don't know." He says with a small, sad, smile.
|
"Maybe in the future they'll come to know and understand, for now lets just focus on the time of now" Vlad spoke cutting his steak and taking a bite out of it. The table wasn't that large, it was actually a normal size family table, being closer meant they didn't have to yell out. "While you're here, what do you want to do, anything?" Vlad would be alright if he didn't want to do anything, but, thought it was better than nothing.
|
"Maybe." HE says. "I don't know, didn't really come with any plans. Just had to get away." He eats the steak, it tastes better then any he's ever had before. "What would you suggest?" He asks. "Oh the food is really good." He says smiling.
|
"Thank you" Vlad spoke to Danny's comment about the food, he never had received a comment from him before, but, he wasn't about to ruin it. "Well, walking, flying in our case, there are some other kids around here you could hang with if you wanted. Only a couple though and easy to talk to since no one around here believes in ghosts" Vlad commented, that was how he stayed quiet so long.
|
"I guess it would be nice to hang with kids who didn't know, maybe. I don't know." He eats in silence for a bit. "I doubt they even miss me." He mumbles as he puts food in his mouth. It was strange, that they hadn't started bickering and fighting. No matter what he tried it always seemed to end with one of them throwing a barb at the other and them breaking down into a fight. This was rather nice.
|
"Why don't I invite them over tomorrow, then you could try to make some new ones" Vlad spoke thinking these kids would be a bit more accepting than his older ones. Vlad worked on slowly finishing his meal, after he had, about two hours had gone by, there was time of eating and silence, but, there was also time where they talked and time seemed to fly by. Vlad stood up picking up his plate "Are you finished? I am going to do dishes, when you do finish just leave it on the table, I'll get it" Vlad took his dishes to the sink and started washing them after rolling up his sleeves.
|
"Sure, sounds like it could be fun, as long as none of them call me at all hours." He says smiling. "I can help clean up." He says, he had finished as well. He picks up his dishes. He really just needed to be doing things. And he really didn't mind helping.
|
"If that is what you wish" Vlad spoke as he washed his dishes putting them in the strainer, he of course thought this was all an act, but, Danny hadn't argued with him in the short time he had been here. Vlad liked doing things the old fashion way, though he did have a washer and dryer, just no dishwasher and he did have a car, that was a known fact in the garage. "There is plenty of daylight left since its summer if you wish to go off on an adventure or walk" Vlad spoke finishing up the dishes and putting the left overs away.
