"I'm always here to hold your hand, okay? I will hold you through the storm, and I won't even stop when the power comes back on. I love you, ok?"

It's my first amazingphil / danisnotonfire fanfic, so hope you like it! :D

When Phil came home to his and Dan's cozy apartment, he was soaking wet. While he had been in the tube, it had started pouring outside, and of course he hadn't had an umbrella with him. When he got out, a major storm was raging over London. Phil had made it inside just in time before he heard the thunder, alarmingly loud.

The dark-haired boy opened the door and shrugged off his dripping coat.
"Dan?" he called out to his flatmate. "I'm home!"

Home. Actually saying it out loud still felt so good. Phil and Dan had gotten along perfectly since the minute they met, and moving to London together was a dream coming true for Phil.

Yes, he had to admit that he liked his fellow youtube blogger a little bit more than just in a friendly way – truth to be told, he was head over heels for his best friend. Of course Dan had no idea how the older one really felt for him.

The young man slowly walked towards the kitchen. It was quite dark in the hallway so he turned on the light, but it wouldn't work.

"Again?" he thought angrily. He had been fixing the light bulb only a few days ago. But when he tried to turn on the kitchen lights without success, he realized the power must have gone out because of the thunderstorm.

Suddenly Phil noticed that he still hadn't got an answer. Slightly worried, he went upstairs.
"Dan?" he called once again. "You here?"

There was a muffled whimper from his friend's room. Already picturing the worst, Phil opened the door and almost started laughing from relief.

Dan was curled up on his bed in a fetal position, face hidden behind his knees, the blanket covering his head and shoulders like a fort.

"Phil", he said, his voice trembling. "Thank god you're finally home!"

For a moment, the dark-haired boy stood by the door, confused. Then the pieces fell together in his mind and he quickly rushed over to Dan.

The rain, the thunder, the darkness… Dan was afraid of thunderstorms, and all alone with the power cut he was scared out of his mind.

Phil curled up next to him on the bed and carefully put his arms around the younger one's shaking body. Dan buried his head in the crook of Phil's neck.

"The power isn't working since almost two hours…" His voice was still hoarse, but Dan seemed to slowly relax in his friend's embrace.

"I'm so, so sorry, Dan. I got stuck at work-"

"It's okay. But promise you will stay with me tonight?"

"Of course I will." Phil's blue eyes were shining. "I'm always here to hold your hand, okay? I will hold you through the storm, and I won't even stop when the power comes back on. I love you, ok?"

He had whispered that last part, almost too quiet to hear through the roaring thunder outside, but Dan understood him anyway.

"You do?"

His chocolate-colored eyes were wide and Phil had to suppress the sudden urge to kiss him. When it dawned on him what he had just said out loud, the raven-haired boy blushed furiously. Embarrassed and afraid of what Dan would say now, he looked down, suddenly feeling really insecure.

Phil was surprised when a cold hand suddenly touched his burning cheek.

"Hey", Dan said. He lifted the older one's chin so he had to look at him. "Do you really? Because I love you, too, you know."

Phil's wonderful blue eyes widened in astonish. Slowly, he leaned towards his friend and kissed his lips ever so slightly. Dan smiled and, pulling Phil closer towards him, started to kiss him again.

Thanks for reading, lovelies :D
