Now That We're 'Men' [DAN]

[brent zachary mckinney]

It was Daniel's birthday. Gosh, he was going to be a proper adult, leaving his horrid teenage years behind him. Brent couldn't help but feel rather emotional about it all because Dan was a man now. Yes! Thanks to his guidance, the werewolf was still alive.

He was sat a booth in the Gateway currently, waiting for the birthday boy to arrive. Brent had bought him a drink in advance to save from having to move again but if Dan didn't make an appearance soon Brent thought he may have to give in and drink it himself.

Despite himself, Daniel was feeling sort of excited about his birthday. He was aware that now, there was no doubt that he was considered an adult. After all, he was twenty years old now, which meant he had responsibilities and had to start being serious all the time- which had to include not being overly enthusiastic about his twentieth. Sadly, it didn't appear like he was capable of doing that. One, it seemed like he was still just a little kid inside when it came to certain things (like birthdays; who didn't get psyched about birthdays?) and two, he was finally able to get away from the shitty teen years of hell. So many things had gone wrong during the previous decade, and hopefully the one following could be a little better. That couldn't possibly be too much to ask for.

Dan was determined to calm himself down before he went for his celebratory drink with Brent. He didn't want the hybrid thinking he was still a little kid. Hopping up and down outside the Gateway, he ran a hand through his hair. Sure, he got a few strange looks from passerby, but he didn't care. He was determined to stay happy today, because happy was a good thing. Taking a deep breath, he headed into the bar.

It didn't take him long to find Brent. The crossbreed looked pretty annoyed, and it took Daniel a little while to realise that it was because in his attempts to make himself calm, he'd also made himself late. Not horrifically late, but too late to be fashionable. Sliding into the booth opposite from the elder guy, he gave a sheepish grin. "Sorry." It was all the werewolf could do to stop himself from bouncing up and down on his seat, and it was a good thing he decided not to: Brent would probably think he was high or something then and that really wouldn't be a good first step into adulthood.

Brent almost got to his feet and started up a round of applause because Dan had finally arrived. Of course he didn't go along with it because he was rather comfortable sat down and then he'd probably have to readjust his shirt or something stupid like that if he moved loads. Well, it didn't matter. Everything was cool because the crossbreed hadn't even touched Daniel's drink (besides from bringing it over here).

It brought a genuine smile to his face to see his 'son' look a whole lot brighter than usual. He almost looked excited. What was this? A miracle, that was for sure. "Whatever. I bought you a drink with the money I didn't know I had." Brent pushed the glass of cold beer towards the werewolf. Seriously, was Robert secretly donating money to him because Brent had thought he'd been completely out of pocket. Or maybe he'd stolen for Robert? That looked more likely.

Now that Dan had actually arrived, Brent didn't seem anywhere near as annoyed as he had previously. Well, that was good. The werewolf didn't want his birthday celebrations to be brought down by the grumpiness of the guy he called his mum dad. That just wouldn't be any fun at all. In fact, was that... was that a smile he saw on Brent's face? That was sort of terrifying. Maybe he was in pain or something. Smiling back sort-of-hesitantly at first, his grin quickly became more natural as he became more excited once again. And aww, Brent had bought him a drink! Well, he'd paid for it, anyway; the now twenty-year-old had a suspicion that it probably wasn't his money, though. It was nice of him, though! Dan took the alcohol from where Brent has left it on the table and held it in his hand. He'd never really drunk alcohol, which was pretty impressive, considering who he'd had as a parental figure for the majority of his life. Beer and stuff like that had never really been his thing- he was more of a cigarettes guy- but maybe now that he was twenty, things were going to change. He wasn't going to have a drink yet, though: in his hyperactive mood, he was far more likely to drop the glass on the floor than actually drink from it. He placed it back on the table, just to be safer.

"Thanks!" Dan gave Brent yet another sunny grin. He loved being in a good mood- it didn't really happen enough.

Brent thought he was going to start cooing everywhere in a ridiculous and embarrassing manner. Dan was grinning. Grinning! This was exciting and awesome and beautiful and rare and, man, his little heart hurt from it because he felt so proud.

"So, how's it feel to be an old man now? We can go and play golf or bingo or something next weekend if you want." Brent chuckled. The images of the two of them attempting golf or bingo were pretty funny. But, no, that had definitely been a joke because he had so many better things to be doing with his life.

Dan wasn't able to contain his excitement at all. This so wasn't like him; even on his other good days, he was never, ever this happy. Despite that, he wasn't going to complain. It had been so long since he'd had a day where he hadn't been worrying about stuff and if it should be any day, it would have to be his birthday.

"I'm not old!" Dan laughed- well, it was actually closer to a giggle, but not quite- and smiled yet again. The happiness just bubbled around inside of him, and while the werewolf knew that he was likely to have a bad day somewhere along the line to make up for it, he didn't care right then. "You're old." The young man knew that it wasn't polite to call people old, it was kinda true. So maybe that gave him more of a right? Oh well, he was almost positive Brent wouldn't hold it against him. And at the idea of golf or bingo, Dan wrinkled his nose. "...Golf? Nah, you're alright. But maybe we could try badminton?" While Dan had been able to pick up Brent's joke pretty easily, his was masked by the intense happiness he was feeling and he just hoped that the crossbreed would still be able to notice he wasn't being serious.
