Crash bandicoot was blurting out from the speakers although as quietly as Dan could turn it down. Phil was asleep behind him adorably laying on the couch after the drunk night before. He occasionally created small, soft noises as he dreamt but other than that laid perfectly still. Dan couldn't help but watch his angel, so peaceful, he only wish he could explain these deep emotions to Phil and – with a glimmer of hope- Phil might feel the same way.

As hard as it was to draw his eyes away Dan returned to his game however as he found the last of the gems he jumped for joy as this was the ultimate gaming achievement. As Dan threw his hands in the air the controller fell from his grasp and with a CRASH it fell on to the hard floor. Phil jumped quickly surprised to be woken by the sudden noise.

"DAN" he exclaimed drowsily looking up through his misty eyes. "Sorry, sorry" he said in panic and ran around turning off all noise "You can go back to sleep if you want" said Dan after he had finished rushing. "Well I might as well stay awake now, what is it like 8? 8:30?" Phil said half angrily and yet there was also comfort in his voice much to Dan's surprise and therefore could only mumble back to Phil "try more like half 10 lazy pants" Phil groaned but couldn't help poking is tongue out at Dan for teasing him like that.

God Dan thought as Phil stuck his tongue out at him. It was so delectable when he did that and his bright blue eyes were sparkling as the sun beamed through the streaky windows. "We should really clean them" he said looking at phil. His voice was pure confusion "what?"

"THE WINDOWS PHIL! We should really clean them"

"Oh you are random Dan"
"That's just one of my many unique qualities" trying to hide the flintiness although secretly hoping that Phil might pick up on the change in tone. "Dan we shouldn't have gone to that party my head is swimming more than a dolphin" without further notice he was off to the kitchen putting the kettle on to make Phil a cup of hot tea. He always liked that and today Dan was trying his best too seem like boyfriend material although he knew it might be harder than he though cause Phil was straight. Only last week Dan had to bare watching Phil lustfully kiss his latest girl.

As Dan came back with the steaming cup pressed between his hands Phil had a very solemn look on his face. Dan was worried Phil was always really cheerful even if he had a hangover like he did today. He sat down and Phil took the cup into the palms of his own soft hands. He winced as he realised the cup was hotter than he'd expected it to be. "What's wrong?" he asked, his voices trembled. "Look, Dan. I feel I should tell you something" Dan looked up into his eyes, the anticipation was building, his heart started beating faster and faster. Oh don't be stupid he thought to himself, it could be the fact that he doesn't like you running around after him, it makes him feel like a little kid or the fact that he has a weird love for hedgehogs. Still Phil didn't say anything, "oh just god damn tell me already" Dan cried out"

"well I know this all a little sudden, I know you've put up with so much already and it wasn't worth it at all, well maybe it was.." Phil rambled on. Dan didn't know how much more of this he could take. "Just get to the fucking point", his heart was almost out of his chest now. "Dan… I'm gay" A long silence followed. Dan was unsure about what to say, should he tell him about everything as well? He tried to speak but all that came out was the smallest of chuckles. Phil looked over to him stunned by Dan's relaxed attitude to this. "Why'd you laugh?" asked Phil "Oh you know, no particular reason just found it funny, Phil I'm gay too. Have been forever just didn't know how to tell you, thought you might judge"

"Well I'm obviously the brave one then aren't I" Phil looked at Dan he was trying to be jokey but in truth he could feel his voice shaking just as much as it had beforehand. "There's just one thing I don't understand, that girl, last week, Lucy? Laura? Lara? Eh whatever her name was. Why keep kissing her like 'that' if you're gay" Unsure how to answer that one Phil was quick on his toes to make something up. "Well isn't it obvious, I was trying to hide it, I didn't know how you were going to react either"

"I guess that kind of makes sense" They talked for hours after that all the time Dan staring into the shimmering blue eyes of Phil and wondering what it would be like to see them first thing in the morning or what the warmth would feel like during the winter when Phil had his arm wrapped around Dan's waist. The adorable images flashing through his mind when unexpectedly Phil's fist collided with his arm and left a shooting pain fly through his body. "OUCH!" Dan cried out instantly regretting it. "Well sorry I would have been gentler but I had called your name at least 20times and you hadn't paid a blind bit of attention to me"

"Sorry Phil, it's just… Well… It's nothing"

"Are you sure Dan? You can tell me, I have stuff to tell you as well" Phil panicked at this was this what he'd been waiting for for years? Was he finally going to tell Dan? "Thanks Phil, I'd rather you go first, just to let me compose myself. I think what I have to say might shock you and I want to hear what you have to say before everything goes downhill" Dan sighed loudly, this wasn't going to be like a movie, Phil and him weren't going to walk hand in hand into the sunset he just felt so stupid. "Well I feel the same, why don't we say it together?" Staring into each other's eyes Phil slowly counted down "3…2….1…" and before another breath could be taken the words were pouring out of their hearts "I LIKE YOU, I guess I always have I just never knew how to tell you". Synchronised like they were the same person, and voices trembling. Dan stood up, and walked out the room, not another word left his mouth. Phil sat there shocked at what had just happened, until the tears poured out his eyes. "That's it, I've lost him"
