(OTA! Happy holidays! If you know Fin, Willy, Phouka, or Winter, feel free to assume they gave you an invite. If not, you can say your pup got an invite through a friend of a friend, someone who knows someone, ect. It IS invite over (no gate crashing pups please, Fin's a giver and would want everyone to feel included), but the pups hosting the party are pretty active and I believe they know almost everyone in the game. And the people they don't know surely know people who do. Even if you only met them once, you got an invite somehow! This gathering post is open all week, and beyond!)

"Yeah," Danny nodded, hooking his arm through Hex's and walking along at his side. "I am pleased that you invited me you know. I don't want you to think I had a rotten time."

[just_hex]

"Oh good. Don't let James ruin it all for you. Fin and Will wanted everyone to have a good time," he said. "I'm going to have to bring you round to their place so you can meet them, proper. They're great people. Wills wonderful and Fin's me best mate. Best I've ever had," he said.

[london_spy]

"Yeah? I didn't get a chance to say hello, but I'm sure he's lovely if he's your best friend," Fin smiled. "You're a good bloke, I can't imagine you liking the bad sort."

[just_hex]

"I used to, but I got out of that. The army really turned me around, and just after I got sober I met Ace and traveling was brilliant," he said. "I'm a new man, now, Danny. And if I can turn me own life around, anyone can."

[london_spy]

"Yeah? You implying mine needs changing?" Danny asked, not angry, just curious.

[just_hex]

"Not you in particular. Just anyone," he replied. "Your life right now is a hot mess, but I think you'll sort it. If you gave up whatever Alex left you you might have a better chance, though," he pointed out and then immediately raised his hand to hold off the argument. "I know you won't, and I understand why. I'm just afraid for you, Danny. That's all."

[london_spy]

"You don't have to be, Hex. I'm a survivor, Hex. I survive," Danny assured him, giving his arm a squeeze and offering a bright smile.

[just_hex]

"I know, Danny. And I know I've no right to fuss over you so much. We've only just found one another again. But that's what I do. I fuss over all me mates, so now you get me as a mother hen, too," he laughed.

[london_spy]

"Not terribly sexy there, Hex, but alright," Danny teased softly.

[just_hex]

Hex jerked his arm in against his body, jerking Danny in turn. He laughed as he did it. Laughing came easily with Danny, he'd found.

"Shut up," he said, not meaning it in the least. "I bet you're the same. Let a friend crash at yours, pay what you can. Donate to charity when you can...I'm not wrong, am I?"

[london_spy]

"I think you're projecting a bit," Danny chuckled. "I'm an okay guy, I like to think, but I don't know if I'm a mother hen sort."

[just_hex]

'i think I might be projecting, yeah," he laughed. "So what sort are you? When someone asks for a cigarette outside the club do you offer up or pretend you're out?"

[london_spy]

"Well, cigarettes are different, you always share if you have a spare," Danny scoffed.

[just_hex]

"Alright, fair enough," he laughed. "Maybe that was a bad example. "

[london_spy]

Danny laughed, and for a brief moment the weight of his grief and fear lifted. For a moment he felt whole and calm- And while it didn't last, he still allowed himself to enjoy it.

"So how'd you wind up friends with someone off the telly?" he asked curiously.

[just_hex]

"He came through as an emergency. His heart was failing. But then he met Will and big changes happened for him. But I knew him when he was homeless, yeah?"

[london_spy]

"Didn't know he had been," Danny confessed with a smile and a shrug. "Not that familiar with his work. Just remember seeing him in the papers."

[just_hex]

"He's been making the papers more and more. Acting, doing radio. Modeling. He's a rising star," he said proudly. Fin had come so far since he'd met him so long ago.

[london_spy]

"You talk about him like you fancy him," Danny laughed. "You harbouring a crush there, Hex?"

[just_hex]

"Oh, I won't deny it, but he's me best mate. It's a different sort of love. Like...brothers, yeah. Maybe Greek brothers with kissing. But Will's not the jealous sort and it's clear who Fin loves," he said. "But please don't leak that to the press. There's already enough rumours floating around."

[london_spy]

"Trust me, I've no interest in going to the press, Hex," Danny promised, his smile fading slightly.

[just_hex]

"I know, but if times get tough and you need some dosh, come see me. Don't sell out your mates," he said warmly. He even pulled his hand from his pocket to drape it round Danny's narrow shoulders.

[london_spy]

"I would never do that," Danny replied, offended enough that he physically pulled away. "Ever. I could be broke, and I'd never do that to anyone, friend or not."

[just_hex]

Hex's arm fell and he slowed his steps.

"I'm sorry, danny. I didn't mean to offend you. Like you said, we don't know one another very well. But...I'd like it if we could. Come home with me tonight?" Hex asked softly.

[london_spy]

"Are you seriously trying to pull me after suggesting I'd sell your friend out to the papers?" Danny asked flatly.
