It was the 31st of December.
Dan panted as he pushed his hand to fix his fringe. His hair was killing him, they were everywhere, curly and unorganized. His left hand was holding a tray of cookies he baked. It wasn't the peek of his culinary skill, but it was something.
He was ten minutes late and he felt terrible because of it. He didn't want Phil to wait, or think that Dan had forgot. Dan would never forget Phil, he was so significant in his life that without him, nothing seemed to make any sense at all.
He had shoved the cookies on a nice box (saved for these kinds of occasions). He had sprinted towards the tube. It was tight, he was squeezed him in anything but a comfortable way, but at least he got in.
The door swung open a few seconds after he knocked, revealing Martyn, Phil's older brother, with a lopsided grin. He held a red cup and Dan wondered if it containedalcohol.
"Dan!" He beamed, a bit too loudly. He placed his free hand behind Dan's slender back, and began to push him inside the Lester residence.
The whole house smelled of Christmas and a mix of Autumn and Winter. It was filled with the smell of Pumpkin Spice and cinnamon. Family photos were guarded by bits of tinsel. Candles were lit and music was playing through the large speakers.
Dan found himself waiting for Phil in his living room, his grandparents chatting with other relatives Dan never saw, despite being best friends with Phil since Year 5.
He heard footsteps descending from the steps of the stairs above him. Phil was here and Dan knew it.
Phil was wearing a jumper that was meant to blind people. It was shiny and glittered with different colors, shaped like an exploding firework. It suited Phil's build perfectly. Dan nearly blushed. Not like he knew anything about Phil's build.
His fringe was pushed slightly back, his hair still raven black. His blue eyes sparkled as much as his jumper. After all those years they spent together, they were very mesmerizing right now.
Very, very mesmerizing.
"Such a festive jumper Phil!" Dan stood up and grinned. Phil laughed.
"You shouldn't be surprised." He replied.
"Who said I was?"
"Let's just go, Dan. I wanna see the fireworks."
Of course Dan knew.
It was 11:50pm and Phil couldn't wait. He just couldn't, and he was jumping.
Dan stared at him, smiling.
They were by the lake, a railing separating them from the water. Others were around them, most were couples, some families, Dan felt like he and Phil wee the only ones who were platonic.
Except they weren't. Dan liked Phil. Dan loved Phil. More than anyone or anything. His heart felt heavy and light at the same time when he met Phil. It felt like Dan wanted to leap and scream. Phil's ecstasy had always been contagious.
Dan had heard the term soulmate since a very young age. Since kindergarten, even. He never believed it existed. His family was torn apart a few years after he was born. His mother always told him she regretted marrying his father. He had always been confused.
Until he shook hands with Phil in the playground, agreeing that they were going to eat lunch together, everyday.
Friends forever, that's the plan.
Maybe they can't fulfill that, because Dan felt his gut pulling, telling him that maybe soulmates were real. Maybe Phil was his.
"Five minutes left!" Phil said, excitedly. He had his mouth wide open and Dan could hear his heart beating.
Dan glanced at his watch. Four minutes more.
"Phil?"
"Yeah?"
"There's something I wanna tell you."
Phil didn't seem to be paying much attention. He was too distracted with the clock than what Dan was going to say.
What was he going to say?
He loved him? He thought they were soulmates? Did he even have proof?
It wasn't silent, so there must've been another reason for Phil to be ignoring him. Dan wondered.
That was before Phil grabbed his hands, making Dan stare at his blue eyes. They were striking and they seemed to pull Dan closer.
"3, 2, 1-"
Phil's lips crashed against Dan in a gentle way. Dan let go of Phil's hands as he shut his eyes close. His hands were trying to find Phil. They rested on his neck and he heard people screaming in the background, cheering for January 1. But they didn't matter. Dan cared for Phil and he knew Phil cared for him.
They were running out of breaths but Dan couldn't get enough of Phil's pumpkin spice flavored lips. He wanted this to last forever but he infinite was still just a second to the universe.
They pulled away.
"So."
"So?" Dan panted, pecking a soft kiss on Phil's smooth skin. Phil grabbed the back of Dan's head and they touched their foreheads together. Blue on brown. Phil was smiling.
They kept pecking other parts of the others face. Cheek, nose,glabella. Little pecks on the lips. They held hands. They kissed again, like the first one. Dan felt like his heart skyrocketed.
"Happy New Year, Phil."
"Happy New Year, Dan."
