A modest proposal (Danny, Val) Warning: Discussions of Suicide

[daniel_marlow]

Danny was still tied down, since the hospital feared he might try to remove his feeding tube if he wasn't. It was not an unfounded fear, since he had demanded no less than four times that they do exactly that. Being confined anywhere wasn't going to make Danny feel fantastic after his time with Greg but now he felt trapped in a life he didn't want, in a body he had quite significantly damaged.

It was all rather shite.

At least he was spending most of his time asleep, since the kind of trauma he had been through was taxing on the body. When he woke up to find only his mother in the room though, he tried to at least not look angry for her sake. "Mum," he mumbled, trying to stretch in the restraints. "Hey. Have you gone home at all?" He was worried about her. She needed to sleep too.

Well that certainly wasn't what he was expecting her to say. He thought she would tell him to cut it out and to beg him to stay, but she was offering to help him?

He would have thought all of his survival instinct was well and truly gone, but when she sat there and offered to kill him, he tried to inch away from her as far as his restraints would allow. Panic started to rise in his chest because he was tied down and if she wanted to kill him, she totally could.

"M- what!? You stay over there. You stay there and explain what you mean!"
