If you had been upstairs in the Compound or in the Hub at six in the evening of December 31, you might have thought your eyes were playing tricks on you, or that you'd once again been whisked off to some strange, new place. Within the blink of an eye, the rooms had changed, sparkling instantly with festive decorations, and it was all so ( Read more... )

New Years' Eve. Daniel had quite a bit more to be thankful for this year. He wasn't alone, for one. He had Patrick. He also had Jack, both of them, Vala, Alcuin, Crichton, Guy, and everyone else he knew on the island. He was content. And maybe him being content always boded ill for the near future, but it was New Years' Eve and this year, he wasn't going to be shoved aside by Logan and he wasn't going to kiss someone else's boyfriend when the clock struck midnight. He also wasn't going to go home with Vala and wake up the next morning not knowing what happened.

He got himself a cup of coffee. The rich, expensive kind that might have only been made better had Ianto made it. And for all Daniel knew, he had. He turned from the table to see who was around that he knew and narrowly avoided splashing someone with hot coffee. "Oh, god, I'm sorry. Are you all right?"

"Daniel! You might have scarred me for life!" Guy said at first, absolutely aghast, and looked to the drink nearly spilled. "What on earth possessed you to drink coffee on a night like this? Afraid someone might sit on your glasses again? Please tell me you're not determined to stay sober, you dull man." He laughed.

theunascended December 31 2009, 16:58:51 UTC

"Guy, I'm not sure there's anything that I could do that would scar you for life except maybe have sex with...with a woman with you present." Daniel specifically did not say Vala because A: he was reasonably sure that Guy would be less scarred and more making comments if it were Vala and B: ...because it was Vala.

He sighed. "I wasn't planning on drinking, no, but I have a feeling you're going to try to change that." He cuddled his drink to his chest. "Let me have this, first. As much as I love Ianto's coffee, he only has a limited kind of coffee bean to work with. This?" He took a sniff of the coffee and closed his eyes, smiling softly. "This is heaven."

"Clearly you have yet to taste the whisky," Guy retorted, but not worried that Daniel would remain sober throughout the evening. He would have certainly not let that happen. "Having a good time?"

theunascended December 31 2009, 18:56:03 UTC

"Clearly you have yet to offer me a drink," Daniel returned, not about to let Guy get the best of him. Not today. "So clearly you don't plan on getting me drunk, which leaves me to my coffee." Bad logic, but it'd do. He took a long sip of his coffee and smiled, nodding in answer to Guy's question. "A very good time. You?"

patriotqueen December 31 2009, 18:59:53 UTC

"I'm a patient man," Guy said, not even attempting to sound believable. "I can wait until you've finished your coffee. Then I'll get you drunk. And then I'll have a good time," he added wickedly.

theunascended December 31 2009, 19:03:08 UTC

"Why am I suddenly very worried about the order in which you listed those? Having a good time after I'm drunk?" Daniel wasn't worried...much. Then again, the last time he'd kissed Guy, he'd been drunk.

patriotqueen December 31 2009, 19:08:01 UTC

"I have no idea," Guy responded. "Finish your coffee, there are better things to taste. And some of them aren't coloured like piss!"

theunascended January 1 2010, 01:22:08 UTC

"Unless there is something very wrong, piss is not a brown color." Daniel smirked and finished his drink in two more swallows, giving Guy a curious look. "All right. Since it seems I am your project for the night - and this is really becoming a habit - what now?"

patriotqueen January 1 2010, 04:04:18 UTC

Guy smirked happily. "I happen to have spotted a Glen Garioch with our names written on it. The darling is simply begging for it. Come along." And with that he linked his arm into Daniel's and moved them both to the drinks.

"I never should have let you know about me, whiskey, and cigarettes," Daniel muttered under his breath. He followed willingly enough, however. It was always better to humor Guy than to try to argue with him. Especially when alcohol was on the line. He was always unreasonable on that front.

patriotqueen January 1 2010, 23:42:14 UTC

"What would you suggest we do, then? The island is giving us a wonderful opportunity to indulge into everything we'd like to indulge in." He looked Daniel in the eye than. "What would you like to indulge in?"

theunascended January 3 2010, 12:36:38 UTC

Dangerous question. Very dangerous question, considering who was asking. "Nothing but a midnight kiss with Patrick?" he suggested, knowing that Guy wasn't going to let him get away with just that.

patriotqueen January 3 2010, 13:06:37 UTC

Guy might not have known every exact detail of Daniel's relationship with Patrick, but he was fairly certain he could read what went on. He didn't know why such things went on, except to think that Daniel must have a magnetic attraction to drama.

"And how do you consider your chances there?"

theunascended January 4 2010, 00:28:14 UTC

Daniel's eyebrows lifted in surprise. "I'd say that the odds were pretty good, all things considered. A hundred percent, providing I actually manage to find him in this crowd. It's the finding him that might be a problem." He wasn't sure he liked the direction that Guy was headed, but he definitely didn't want to ask the question. Why?

patriotqueen January 4 2010, 00:53:14 UTC

In Guy's view, Daniel had just answered his own unspoken question. "Nothing. Provided - as you have mentioned - you find him. And not five minutes after midnight."
