Work Text:
Nothing brought joy to Danny in this job, He hated this crummy island more then anything. His job was working with the well known Chris McLean as an intern, The only reason he was even working on this shitty island was because one of his band mates dared him to try and get a job to work a full season. His plan was to just quit after all-stars but apparently in the 'fine print' it said something about how he couldn't quit until all upcoming seasons were done being filmed and aired (But you couldn't even see it, You would basically have needed to put it under a microscope to read it). When he first found out he would be working on Pahkitew Island he flipped his shit on Chris, though despite his rageful outburst Chris wouldn't let him quit.
He had tried everything to get terminated but it all back fired.
He had given up hope on quitting and tried to be positive but there was nothing positive he could find.
Even the contestants pissed him off.

The sun started to set as the camera crew began to head off to start editing the newest episodes, Danny however couldn't be bothered to hang around those bunch of losers.
His body was sore from running around all day with a huge camera in his arms at all times, He just wanted to relax and not have to deal with annoying people. He took a seat on a near by rock as he watched the radiant sunset fall, It was actually nice being able to sit without some maniac screaming at you through a big megaphone for "Being a slacker". Danny never slacked off, Hell, he was one of the most hard working out of the rest of the crew (In his words) so having an actual break lifted off a weight off that crushed him internally.
But that break was quickly cut short.
"heyyyy camera boy"
Danny snapped his head back to be met with forest green eyes looking right at him.
"Oh look it's my most favorite contestant" Danny replied sarcastically as he rolled his eyes at the annoying teen.
"Awhh I'm you're favorite?" Topher smirked as he took a seat next to Danny on the rock.
"It was sarcasm jackass"
"And what do you want? I was on break." Danny sneered as he looked Topher up and down.
"I thought you said you weren't aloud breaks?" Topher questioned.
God he was already pissing him off.
"Yeah well, I'm taking my own break" Danny spat out.
Silence filled the air as the two just sat side by side, looking at the mix of color the sun gave off. Danny wouldn't say this out loud but he actually tolerated Topher, or at least tolerated him better then the others, sure he would sometimes make him mad but he still enjoyed every interaction with Toph to some extent. He would always make sure the other was alright after being victim to one of Chris's cruel challenges (He had somewhat of a soft spot for him, though it was ignored with denial)
"So are you some kind emo?" Topher said out loud.
Danny shot him a glare before speaking up.
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
Topher pointed to his black choker.
"And well,, the really weird and smudged eye liner under your eyes"
Danny just glared at him as he tried his best not to explode on him, Topher chuckled awkwardly as he stared at the others face, focusing on his expression.
"Its not weird, also for your information I am not a emo."
"Its just how- its just how I do my make-up when I play with my band" Danny muttered as he crossed his arms and looked away
"You? Danny? is in a band?" Topher said with amusement as he tried not to laugh.
"please shut the fuck up" Danny said irritated.
"Fine fine, because you said please" Topher teased as Danny tried to hide his smile behind his hand.
Danny lightly elbowed Topher's side, hearing a small yelp come from him. He laughed at the other before he finally remembered what time it was.
"Oh shit! I gotta go, uh, I'll umm,, talk with you tomorrow?" Danny put up finger guns as he stood up
"Uh yeah,, cool cool" Topher awkwardly smiled and shot finger guns back at him
Danny mentally slapped himself as he ran off to find the rest of the crew before they left without him.
