#should i?

Seeing as humans are very emotional creatures, and ghosts are made from emotions.

This means when Danny moves to Gotham for what he would say was a 'vaca' from all that is being king of basically everything, he was very aware that he moved into another ghost's haunt.

But he knows that as long as he doesn't damage anyone or anything in said haunt, the ghost won't care, he's king, they don't tend to care unless it's to challenge him. And no one (honorable exclusion of Vlad, the bastard) really wants to challenge him. He's the closest thing to God by mortal definition.

So, for the last two weeks, Danny has been balancing college classes for engineering and astrophysics with his nightly activities of eating all the corrupted ectoplasm Gotham has to offer.

Simultaneously satisfying his obsession for stars and space, and his obsession to help and protect, while also getting a good snack out of the affirmationed corrupted ectoplasm.

Danny really hadn't been more relaxed since he first died. That was, until around 2:57 am on a Tuesday that marked Danny's third week in Gotham.

Danny would just like to mention that he was minding his ancients-damned business. He'd just picked up food for himself and Cujo, though neither of them have to eat, it's still an enjoyable experience, along with enough caffeine to kill, well, anyone that's actually alive.

The store clerk that checked him out looked ready to call the police or a mental hospital, or both.

Walking into what he assumed was an empty alleyway, and it was. Empty, that is. The rancid smell of piss and sex, and probably blood in the humid air blowing from semi-broken air conditioners made Danny wrinkle his nose and sigh, it was a shortcut back to his apartment even if it was a dead (ha) end. Danny usually just phased through the wall into the apartment complex right next to his.

But that's what happens usually. And usually is not a word that exists on a late night (early morning's?) Tuesday.

So, because the universe hates Danny, and because Clockwork thinks that his misery and torment is entertaining, Danny has the unfortunate pleasure of hearing a thud behind him from what could only be a body dropping into the alleyway he just walked into.

Yay him. Yay, Gotham.

Danny, like any sensible person, turns to greet the sight of a tall figure (Ancients, he's HUGE), clad from head to steel toed boot in leather, red, and guns... was that blood? What's up with this city and blood?

Danny has no reason to be interacting with any of the furry brigade that calls Gotham home. He hasn't done anything illegal by this world's standards... he thinks.

Shit, was he about to lose kneecap privileges for Jaywalking? He swears he only does it at night.

Danny, like any sensible person with a fear for their lives (deaths? Half life? Whatever), just turns back towards the inside of the alley and just-

LOL. i didn’t think entertaining the idea of Y/N getting with the whole crew would have so many of yall in my inbox wanting me create a SMAU where Y/N is a homie hopper😭

They announce they're together only for PR reasons, fully believing it won't change anything .

And it doesn't. They're just...sometimes going on dates together. But listen, LISTEN only for the press pictures and to have some stories to tell on the podcast.

They start being touchy with each other on camera...and maybe at home but just to practice and get comfortable, not because it means anything. No, no. Everything for the bit.

And the kissing? Well, it's maybe not for the camera but it's important they know what it'll feel like. It means absolutely nothing, the tingly feelings that come with it? They're just good kissers, that doesn't mean it's real.

Dan's just a big fan of method acting.
