DanFic n2 - Birthday present.
"Where are you?"
"I just picked up Dan. Is everything ready at home?"
"Everything just as planned."
"Great, we'll be there in 5."
You hung up the phone and take a look around you. There's a table with food and drinks, balloons and party decorations everywhere, music playing from the stereo and all of your friends seem to be having a great time already.
"You did a good job Y/N." you think as you nod, pleased with what you've accomplished.
Of course, Phil had helped you by keeping Dan away from the house so that you could get everything ready... If it wasn't for him he'd probably be laying on the couch all day, doing nothing. Even on his birthday that kid would continue being the unproductive couch potato that he is. One of the reasons why you absolutely and undeniably adore him.
About 5 minutes have passed and you hear someone at the door. You quickly tell everyone to be ready and as the door slowly opens to reveal a very excited Phil and a clearly clueless Dan everyone jumps up and yells "Surprise!". Dan looks really happy and startled, a cute little smile has taken over his face and those familiar dimples on his cheeks make your stomach do back flips. He notices you staring and, for a second, as his eyes meet yours and your heart starts racing you feel like you two are the only people in the room. Everyone is hugging him and wishing him "Happy Birthday" but you are just standing there, appreciating how happy he is. After he's done with all the wishes and everyone gradually gets back to the party you can see him walking up to you. He tries to talk but there's too much noise. He can see your confused look so he takes your hand and leads you to the kitchen. He closes the door behind you so you can finally talk in privacy.
"Thank you." Dan says with a smile on his face.
"Oh, it was nothing. Besides, you deserve it... birthday boy." a subtle blush has taken over your cheeks.
"Well, Phil told me how much effort you put into planning all this. I have to admit, you did a really good job." he says as he moves a little closer to you.
"Thanks Howell but... shouldn't you be out there, having a good time instead of chatting with me in the kitchen?" you say, looking at your feet.
"Honestly, I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd rather want to be right now." he says as he leans over and kisses you. He wraps his arms around your waist bringing you closer and at that moment, in Dan's arms, you are the happiest you've ever been.
When you finally break the kiss and both of you are breathing heavily you realize something.
"Shit! I forgot to buy you a present." you say, feeling angry at yourself.
"Well, you could wrap yourself with a red ribbon and that would be the perfect present for me." Dan says with a wink.
You giggle and right before you pull him in for another kiss you say
"Happy Birthday Dan."
