Why this must be read:
I don't know who started the Nicholas and Danny figure their shit out while watching a movie trope, but it's a popular one because it works so well, and it fits beautifully with the characters. And, hey! they're already on a couch, so no awkward getting things to the bed moments. This time, the movie is Tombstone, Nicholas is stuck in his head, and Danny is patient. Hotness follows.
This pair of stories, taking place within the same night, should be read together. You then get the dual perspective of Nicholas and Danny's reactions to their changing relationship. I especially love Pepper's Danny. His clear-eyed view of Nicholas belies the hero worship other writers wish to box him into. Her Nicholas, as in the movie, is well aware he over thinks situations, but uses it to his advantage in the second story. Then there's the hotness. Have I mentioned that?
“I’m your huckleberry,” Danny muttered. He glanced over. “Did you say anything like that?”
“No, nothing like that.”
“Shame. It’s a good line.”
“It is.”
“Hey, don’t forget it. Maybe you’ll get a chance to say it later.”
Hope not. “Maybe.”
“What do you want to watch after this?”
Nick rubbed his gritty eyes. He wanted to tell Danny that they didn’t have to watch anything. He didn’t need a movie to keep him right there on the couch. He wasn’t going to leave. Why would he want to?
“Whatever you like.”
“I was thinking Terminator 2 again.”
“Why? We just saw it last night.”
Danny shrugged. “I don’t know. I just like it.”
“That’s fine. Whatever makes you happy.” The words he just meant to think slipped out.
‘ello, Wyatt. I was jus…investigating the mysteries of the Church of Rome.
“What would make you happy?”
Nick didn’t really hear the question. “Is he dying? What happened? Was he shot?”
“Oh no, he has consumption,” Danny explained good-naturedly, his impatience with Nick’s lack of attention gone. Danny was rarely impatient or annoyed with him, and when it happened, it didn’t last long. Maybe he was able to forgive quickly. Maybe he just forgot. “That’s why he was in Tombstone. For the dry climate.”
“Oh.”
“See, Wyatt comes to visit him in the hospital every day.”
Nick nodded. Of course, Wyatt visited Doc every day. Nicholas had spent countless hours at Danny’s side, once he was allowed to leave his own hospital bed.
“It’s sad," Danny was saying, "but you know, at least he got to go in his own bed.”
This is funny.
“You didn’t answer me,” Danny said.
“What was the question?”
“What would make you happy?”
