J is for
Danny again straightens his suit, running his hands over the smooth crisp material, when a hand smacks his own away.
‘Stop that Daniel, its fine.’
Danny glares in the direction of Angela’s voice but doesn’t dare argue with the woman. He doesn’t need to see her to know she was a scary lady. A chuckle to his left makes him turn and glare at Claire, who he images is smiling up innocently at him.
‘I didn’t think you’d be so nervous about this. You’ll be great Danny!’
Claire squeezes his arm and gently pushes him forward. Danny swallows and slowly moves forward. From somewhere to his right he hears whistles and cheers that he knows are from Bruce and Larry.
Carefully Danny walks forward, not going too fast as to trip but not slowing to a stop either. The closer he gets the more his heart begins to race, he is so nervous he can barely breath. Finally, after an eternity, his name is called and he steps forward, a piece of paper is placed in his hand and someone takes his hand.
‘Well done Danny, everyone’s proud of you.’
Danny feels the blush run up to his face, ‘Thank you Senator Petrelli.’ He hears Nathan chuckle as he lets go of Danny’s hand. Danny slowly walks forward towards the one person he wants to hear from the most. He hopes they’ll be proud but with this man’s past...
As Danny steps off the stage a hand gently takes his and leads him back to a seat, gently sitting down next to him. Danny waits, his whole body trembling, every fibre of his being screaming, until the soft voice of his lover whispers in his ear.
‘I’m so proud of you, my love.’
Danny allows the jitters that had plagued him all day melt away. After all, who better to help Sylar out of trouble than his lawyer?
