Beta: rainnluv, who was nice enough to do this on the fly!
Warnings: None.
Summary: Danny wonders why he and Adam aren't closer friends…
Notes: This was written after watching this hilarious little vid of Adam and Danny taking pictures in a photo booth. Title given to me by the lovely kjanine, who made the title up just so the fic could sound all dark and serious. It's really not.

"That was fun!" Danny says, pocketing his copy of his and Adam's pictures from the photo booth.
"Yeah! We should do that again some time," replies Adam. He's still gazing at the three shots. "You know…you look pretty good without glasses, Danny."
"Thanks, man," Danny says, aware that the cameras and reporters are still standing around. He starts to walk away, headed to the hall that will lead them back to the main rehearsal space. Adam follows.
"Have you ever thought about getting contacts?"
Danny shrugs. "I have some, but I like my glasses."
Adam snorts. "Yeah, I've noticed. You've got more pairs than I've got shoes!"
Danny laughs. "I doubt that, man."
"Okay, yeah, you're probably right about that." Adam smiles. "We should totally sneak back there with everyone and take more pics."
Danny nods. "Sure, man."
As they enter the rehearsal space where everyone has been taking a break, Danny pulls out his copy of the pictures and looks at the way he and Adam are scrunched up so close in the small space. It felt a lot more natural than it should have, he muses.
Shaking his head out of his strange thoughts, he walks over and says to the other Idols, "Hey, everyone, look at Adam's funny face!"

Rehearsal just ended and Danny's downing another bottle of water.
"Hey, Danny!" Adam calls. "Wanna come back to the photo booth?" Adam's got Allison and Kris in tow. Matt and Megan seem to be hanging on the fringes.
Danny swallows and nods. "Yeah, just give me a minute."
Danny's feeling strangely nervous, and he's not sure why. He's friends with everyone; he just knows that he doesn't fit in quite as well with Adam and his entourage. He should get along better with Kris, he thinks; they have a lot in common; but Kris is attached to Adam like a bad rash, except Adam seems to really like having that rash, and itching it doesn't seem to bother him. Danny and Matt have grown considerably close, but there's always been a strange vibe between Danny and Adam, and Danny's never known what to do about it. Maybe the photo booth was a good jump in the right direction.
When he gets to the room where the photo booth is still set up and he hears Adam saying, "Oh, c'mon…just wait a little bit longer! We just want to take some more pics!"
"Yeah, come on, man," says Allison in her throaty grumble.
They appear to be talking to some men that want to take the photo booth away. "What's going on?" Danny asks as he strides up to the group.
"These guys want to take away the photo booth!" Matt says with his classic put-upon pout, and Danny can't help but smile.
"When do you guys need to have it back by?" Danny asks the workers.
One of them mutters, "Tomorrow by noon."
"Well, okay, then. You can afford us a little time, right?" Danny puts on his best smile.
The workers look between each other and finally one of them turns to Danny and shrugs. We can give you a half-hour. Then we need to go."
"Sounds like a plan." Danny claps his hands together. "Alright, guys! Let's get this booth-party started!"
His eyes catch Adam's and they smile at each other while Matt and Kris climb into the booth and Allison tries to cram in there with them; then Megan starts pushing buttons and nudging Matt's shoulder and trying to keep Allison from falling on the booth floor. Adam puts his arm around Danny's shoulders as they watch.
Yeah, so Danny might not be Adam's rash, but his supporter-in-arms he can do.
