It was Valentines Day. Stores of all kinds packed with endearing gifts, the sweet scent of chocolate in the air.
Crazy. He thought. He had to be, for what he was about to do he wouldn't have dared put in words less than one year ago. Then again, so much had happened in just one year.
You and your ways… Making me realize the obvious. Making me fall in love.
And damn was he a wasted romantic. Dan was as ready to accept his affection and gifts as he was ready to upload the Vegas video.
But that didn't matter. He was crazy, so he was going to do it now before this infatuation got the worst out of him.
Converses and Pokémon t-shirt on, trousers just right. Today was the day.
He was about to call him, tell him to meet him at the flat, when he received a call from Adrian.
"Phil's speaking"
"PHIL, I need you to come here, my excruciating brother blacked out!"
He was now conscious of his every breath, the car keys already in his hands.
"Wait, you're at Pj's too? He never even told me you were here! I'm in the car, DON'T HANG UP, did u call for an ambulance?"
"Yeah yeah I did, I'm not a little kid, I know to do the obvious!"
Swear to God, I'll make sure he eats and sleeps more when he is out of danger, he won't see the end of my nagging.
He was in front of the house in less than 15 minutes, sweating with anticipation. He looked for an ambulance and was quite surprised when all he saw was Dan's car.
Where are they where are they where in the fuck are they.
"ADRIAN, PJ?!"
He felt someone's hands cover his eyes and jumped at the contact.
"What…? PJ, it is not time to scare me!"
The slow breathing on his neck and the 'hi' he received as an answer, made him not only realize that the whole 'Dan is dying' was a joke, but that the insufferable prick was too close too suddenly.
"Dan?" He reached for him, stroked his hair, his ear, he felt the others breathing catching up to his own. They both were gasping.
"I canceled your reservation" Said Dan, hands still on Phil's eyes.
Phil blushed. He knew, he knew and he couldn't even face him to tell him he knew.
"You did" Dan's fingers were now tracing Phil's face.
"I wanted it just to be the two of us, because I know that's how you wanted it to be"
Phil closed his eyes.
"You wanted to cover it up as a normal dinner, if something went wrong"
Phil felt Dan's arms embracing him in a hug, they were so close.
"You don't hate me do you?"
Only then did he turn Phil around. They both vulnerable to the others gaze.
"Silly, I love you"
And no, the kiss wasn't perfect, they laughed as they tried to kiss the other. Phil was trembling and Dan was trying to look calm. They blushed together, a pair of tomatoes, that's what they were.
After eating dinner, Dan pulled a book out of nowhere, Phil took it and smiled, it was the autographed deluxe version of "The Fault in Our Stars", an odd thing to give to your new boyfriend, but he almost screamed like a girl. What he did do was kiss him though, pressing his body against Dan's.
"Ugh if you keep making me moan like this, I'm going to have to take you upstairs. Oh… Fuck"
And as the moans became intense, a voice made them stop on their tracks.
"You lovely love birds do realize this is my flat" Said a smirking PJ, Adrian at his side. The teenager covered his eyes with both hands.
That reminds me…
Phil took Dan's face with his hands.
"You almost gave me a heart attack you evil asshole!"
PJ and Adrian looked at each other and sighed, feeling almost sorry for Dan. The other two were now outside, one running for his life as the other following, constantly repeating the same phrase.
"I will give you a reason to black out!"
The end (sort of)
