darker_london | THAT WENT WELL (Danny, Zoe, Rachel, Liz, Emma and Thomas)

After a long day messing around in the park, Zoe had invited everyone around to her place for dinner. While Dylan couldn't go, Danny realised he could. And though he didn't usually go around to other people's houses, especially not if he didn't know them that well, he decided it would be okay. Especially since Zoe's mothers were lesbians. They wouldn't look twice at him!

He jogged home to drop off Wolf, for a shower and to change his clothes. Then he returned to the park where one of Zoe's mothers was going to pick them up. Their car was impressive and he lapsed into silence as Rachel chattered to the woman who had been introduced to him as Liz.

Once they arrived at Zoe's house, Danny stared up at it in awe. "It's huge," he whispered to Rachel as they exited the car.

Thomas understood where Zoe was coming from, and while he moved away and out of the kitchen, he stayed where he could see them all. He had a feeling he knew what was going on.

"I-" Danny struggled to calm his breath, his hand still clenched over his chest. "I'm sorry-"

From where Thomas stood in the entryway he said, "I think I understand, Danny. I'm sorry I didn't know before. I understand because it happened to me too."

That was enough of a shock, that Danny raised his head and stared at the gigantic man in the hallway. The distraction actually served to calm him, at least a little bit. The other man was huge, how could he have been through it too, unless-

"Were you also seven?" Danny asked, his voice ragged.

Next to Zoe, Liz's eyes fell shut. She was clearly horrified.
