Wow, it took Danny
this long to figure that out?
Baaaad boy. Flack needs to punish him with chocolate sauce all over his body and a thousand licks.
Oh wait, that won't be much of a punishment, would it?
Not for either of them, no. :lol: :devil:
Danny: What do ya think of this Kevlar vest on me?
Flack:
*looks down at the vicinity of Danny's hips* You're lookin' good.
Danny: Higher up, Don, higher.
Flack does look like he's thinking dirty thoughts again, doesn't he? :devil: I bet he's thinking about how to get Danny
out of that vest...and the rest of his clothes for that matter. Flack is a man with a dirty mind. :devil:
See, this is why I always appreciate a good discussion. I never considered this side of their relationship before. I guess Danny having gone through so many bad experiences made me see him as the jaded guy instead, while Flack is the one who is more ... sheltered? No, that's not quite the right word. How do I put it, he comes from an obviously good background so I don't think his life was as difficult as Danny's might have been. His dad being an NYPD legend and all, his entire family would probably be treated very well.
Definitely, but I think Flack has seen a lot. I think doing the work he does, he can't avoid it. But really, it's more about their temperaments because they've both seen a lot. I've noticed Flack has a tendancy to think the worst of people, while Danny seems to want to believe the best of them...when people tell him things, he tends to believe them. He's a little too trusting for his own good, especially in the line of work they do. I think Flack sees that and it makes him protective of Danny.
It
is sweet that Danny maintains this innocence within him, even now and after everything that's happened to him.
You just wanna huggle him and tell him to never lose it. Or maybe Flack should that instead.
I do think Flack sees that vulnerability in Danny and responds to it. It's probably that that brings out all of his protective instincts.

For some reason, the image of Danny -- back facing the mirror -- and Flack with his hands on Danny's buttcheeks, facing the other guy is so HOT!
:devil: Ohh, that'll make for a fantastic start to a PWP story. Them facing each other, ya know, it'll surely lead to some ... seesawing action. :lol: :devil: :devil: :devil:
Flack seeing and touching Danny's sexy posterior? Yeah, that's always going to lead to a little action.
:devil:
Holiday season! Hmmm ... how about they just stay in one of their apartments and stock up their fridge for a week and just do the horizontal tango like bunnies? :devil: No? Okay, how about ... Flack takes Danny to San Francisco for a holiday? You guys know what San Francisco is famous for, right? :devil: Or how about, Flack and Danny go river rafting and ride a sky balloon? :devil: :devil: :devil: :lol:
That last one sounds like a really romantic, sexy trip. :devil:
Danny will definitely bake cookies and cakes for Flack.
Him boasting about his baking skills and all, he probably makes killer chocolate chip muffins and ...
fruit cake.
:devil: :devil: :devil:

Maybe it has to do with how they experienced things. Flack has always been on one side of the situation, and Danny has spent time on both sides. Danny knows how it feels to be that kid, what choices they have to make, etc. Flack may have seen everything, but he hasn't experienced it.
Definitely. I think Flack has seen the bad side of life, but Danny's been hurt by it directly.
Danny has always been the innocent one, if you ask me. As a kid, he was innocent of what his family was up to. When he was older, he was innocent of anything except trying to fit in with his brother--no matter how much he might have looked up to Louie and wanted to be like him, he's still the kid that wants the other guys to stop hurting someone else.
He's always been innocent, and yet there's always been suspicion from some people about him. He knows he didn't do anything wrong, but other people might not believe him. So he probably wants to believe that other people are innocent too, and when he has to deal with the fact that they are bad news, it doesn't make sense in his brain how they could do it, how they could make the choice he himself couldn't make.
Agreed--I think it gives him empathy because he's been mistreated and misjudged, too. He wants to give people the benefit of the doubt because he probably wishes someone had done that for him.
It might also make him question himself and what he's capable of--he knows he's a good guy, he's a cop, he's on the right side of the law, but a little bit of self-doubt...
I think the only thing he's probably capable of is making a mistake a la "On the Job." There's something so earnest about Danny. It's funny--even when he's under attack, he doesn't really lash out, save for verbally. He's not physically violent at all.
Flack, meanwhile--he grew up in the shadow of the NYPD. He never had to deal with the internal conflicts of what you see around you and what you know is right. And maybe he wants to protect Danny because he sees the vulnerability there and thinks that Danny needs him--which he does.
Exactly. Flack is tough through and through, and being so tough allows him to recognize vulnerability. Nine times out of ten, he probably uses that vulnerability to go in for the kill--it's an angle, a way to get someone to confess--but with Danny he's obviously not thinking that way. So he'd recognize the vulnerability in Danny, but it produces the opposite emotional reaction in Flack--it makes him super, super protective of Danny. I think knowing he's capable of picking apart people's weaknesses makes Flack feel strong because he uses it for good, but then he sees someone like Danny--who's both good and vulnerable--and his instinct is to protect him.
I also think Danny's been hurt/abused by people he's trusted, and I think Flack is aware of that, so I think that also adds to his protectiveness of Danny. Danny being hurt and in physical pain in "Snow Day" really upset Flack.
I hope that makes sense. I do think it's interesting--even outside the realm of the relationship--how far out of his way Flack goes to take care of Danny, both emotionally and physically. I know Flack following Danny into the room rather than sticking with Mac was a little thing, but I think it's very indicative of their relationship and the way Flack feels about Danny. He takes protecting Danny
very seriously, to the point where I do think it affects his job in little ways.
And to think, I'd already forgotten about his ability to bake. Maybe Flack will lock them in the apartment with theifer phones turned off, the tv unplugged, the doors locked--and a kitchen full of food and baking supplies. Don gets his man and his food, and Danny gets Don's undivided attention. :devil:
And both of the boys are deliriously happy.
