Pairing: Nick/Danny
Rating: Up to R
Summary: 50 unrelated, 1-sentence stories, inspired by a random prompt list I stole from someone.
1. Comfort
Some nights, Nicholas’ fingertips were the only things that could take the pain away while Danny recovered in the hospital.
2. Kiss
Nicholas had never half-assed anything in his life, and kisses were no different.
3. Soft
Danny liked dragging his nails through Nick’s soft, blonde hair and hearing the gentle, relaxed sounds Nick made in response.
4. Pain
When Danny saw the bullet rip through Nick’s shoulder, he hated himself for waiting too long to interfere.
5. Potatoes
The best meal Nicholas ever ate, involved mashed potatoes that Doris had prepared for Nick and Danny’s “not-quite-a-wedding” party.
6. Rain
The first kiss they shared was under an umbrella during the worst storm Sanford had seen in 11 years.
7. Chocolate
Danny spent the day deciding exactly what type of chocolate he’d be licking off of Nicholas for their anniversary this year.
8. Happiness
Nicholas found it hard not to laugh at the pure, childlike glee that spread across Danny’s face when McClane murmured his famous catch phrase.
9. Telephone
Hanging up was the most difficult thing Nicholas had done all month.
10. Ears
If you’d held a gun to his head, Nick would still NEVER admit to squeaking when Danny nibbled on his ear.
11. Name
Nick was embarrassed, but Danny beamed when the toddler on the street pointed and said to his mother, “Angel, mommy!”
12. Sensual
The steaming hot bath had Nick dozing off while Danny massaged shampoo into the blond man’s scalp.
13. Death
Nick could offer no words of comfort when Danny had to shoot someone for the first time.
14. Sex
Danny knew that one way to get Nick to well and truly switch off... was to tie him down and fuck him into the mattress.
15. Touch
It was interesting, really... Nick avoided touching anyone unless they were being arrested or if they were... well, Danny.
16. Weakness
“It’s not a weakness, Nick... it’s how I feel.”
17. Tears
“Oh Jesus, Nicholas, don’t cry... now you’ve got me worried.”
18. Speed
“C’mon, Nick... faster... c’mon... ah!”
19. Wind
Only Danny could tell that the wind was making Nicholas cold, a fact that made him realize he knew Nick well enough to detect things that no other person could.
20. Freedom
“Please, just let Danny go... It’s me you want... just let him walk out that door...”
21. Life
“Nick, I don’t want you to feel pressured into this... this is your whole life, y’know!”
22. Jealousy
When Amanda Wheaty giggled and placed her hand oh-so-delicately on Nick’s arm, Danny could have taken the entire building down with his bare hands.
23. Hands
Nick’s left hand trembled when he was nervous... or turned on.
24. Taste
Before Nick could protest, Danny kissed him... and the taste of his most recent activity made Nick’s vision blur.
25. Devotion
“If you told me... that I couldn’t be a police officer anymore... I’d quit... but only if you asked me to.”
26. Forever
“It could be like this for the rest of our lives, you know... I want it to be like this...”
27. Blood
Danny knows the feeling of Nick’s blood trickling through his fingers... and it keeps him up at night.
28. Sickness
Who would have thought that Nick’s own body would be the thing to take him off the beat, rather than a thug with a gun?
29. Melody
Danny had a beautiful singing voice, but rarely showed it off.
30. Star
“I only notice that star when you’re around, Nick.”
31. Home
It was Danny who finally had the brilliant idea to, “Y’know, put our things in one place... like a home... that we share.”
32. Confusion
“What do you mean, ‘it’s not responding to treatment’?!”
33. Fear
“Christ Danny... I just... I’m too scared to think about what I’ll do without you.”
34. Lightning/Thunder
“The paper called us “lightning and thunder” cuz you’re quick as lightning... and I s’pose I shake the ground when I walk...”
35. Bonds
“Danny... let me go... I need... I need to touch you... need you to touch me.”
36. Market
There were very few shops Danny felt comfortable taking Nick to anymore.
37. Technology
The pacemaker, Nick thought, was a beautiful thing; after all, it had saved Danny’s life after he was shot.
38. Gift
Danny didn’t know what he loved more; Nick, for getting him a present even though it wasn’t his birthday... or the fact that the present was the Die Hard Box Set.
39. Smile
Danny’s goal was to get Nick to smile at least once a day.
40. Innocence
Nick hated to shatter his innocence, but Danny needed to know that not all action stars did their own stunts.
41. Completion
“Ahh... Ahhhh, Oh- Oooooooh.... Fuck, Danny.”
42. Clouds
“I was hoping it would be sunny out when I did this...” Nick lamented, pulling a small box from his pocket and presenting it to Danny.
43. Sky
Something he liked better about Sanford; the fact that here, he could actually see the stars... and spend time looking at them with Danny.
44. Heaven
“Even if you don’t believe in it, I still think you’d get in.”
45. Hell
Danny truly believed his own personal hell consisted of having to wait a whole week for Nick to come back from London.
46. Sun
The recent stint of sunny weather made small freckles appear on Nick’s forearms, where his sleeves had been rolled up.
47. Moon
The moon’s bright light almost blew their cover, but ducking into the shadows under a tree saved them from being discovered by teenagers out late.
48. Waves
It was a ripple effect; the longer the silence between them went on, the bigger it got.
49. Hair
Upon closer inspection, Sergeant Nicholas Angel actually did have hair on his chest... it was just very, very blond.
50. Supernova
Danny bit down gently on Nick’s neck, and Nick felt like his brain was exploding in a glorious display of white light.
