It had been ten years since Dan and Phil left Manchester, and honestly, things couldn't be better for the both of them. Dan called his parents and explained everything to him, and they happily supported the couple until Dan made a YouTube channel. Since then, he's reached nearly seven million subscribers, and the paycheck isn't too bad either. As for Phil, he went to college and got a Master's degree in English and Linguistics, which he never used. However, while at York, he befriended a group of very talented musicians, and together, they formed a pop punk band called Extensive Reality. Since the band's formation, they've risen to the top of the charts in nearly one hundred countries, and Phil became famous. Six years ago, Phil proposed to Dan, and they got married. Everything was going well in the Lester household, at least, for now.
Phil yawned quietly and tightened his arms around Dan, giggling a little as Dan only nuzzled deeper into his chest. Phil groaned quietly as their alarm went off, causing Dan to sit up half-asleep and dazed. Phil smiled and reached over, turning the alarm off. He slid his glasses on as Dan snuggled back into Phil, his head resting on Phil's chest tiredly. Phil wrapped his arms around his sleepy husband, sighing softly as Dan crawled into his lap. He started to drift back to sleep, causing Phil to giggle a little. He grabbed his phone and snapped a quick picture, posting it on Twitter and Instagram.
'Looks like my sleepy bear can barely contain his excitement for tour' he captioned, grinning at Dan's protesting whine. Phil purposefully started to wiggle around, trying to wake Dan up. Dan groaned and buried his head in Phil's neck, pouting. After a few more minutes of this, he gave up and slowly slid out of bed.
"Good morning to you to," he grumbled, pouting at Phil. Phil got out of bed and hugged Dan from behind, pulling him into his chest.
"We have to get ready. The plane leaves in an hour and a half, and I know you want to get all dolled up," Phil teased, pressing a kiss to Dan's bare shoulder. Dan mumbled a response and slowly wiggled out of Phil's grip, only to grab his hand and insistently pull him to the bathroom.
"Dan, baby, we can't shower together, you know that. I gotta go finalize the setlist," Phil said gently, causing Dan to groan again. Phil just smiled and pressed a long kiss to Dan's forehead, causing him to flush and smile. As Dan walked into the bathroom (and locked the door with a sleepy pout), Phil headed to the lounge to finish the unsure setlist. He grabbed his laptop and quickly added a few songs before sending it to the rest of his bandmates. He grinned as Dan walked into the lounge, wearing nothing other than a lavender jumper with a cluster of succulents on it (Phil picked it out, and he's quite proud of it) and some white panties (Phil also picked those out, but for other reasons). Dan pouted at Phil and sat down in his lap, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Where're my shorts?" he demanded, glaring slightly at Phil. Phil wrapped his arms around Dan and smiled sheepishly, kissing his nose happily.
"In the closet, right?" Phil asked innocently, causing Dan to glare suspiciously.
"I've checked the closet, Phillip. They aren't there," Dan hissed, glaring more at his husband. Phil gave Dan his best puppy eyes and smiled innocently, pecking Dan's nose quickly.
"The wash?" He offered softly, giggling at little when Dan got flustered.
"You little fucker," Dan huffed, glaring slightly at Phil before getting up. Phil playfully slapped Dan's bum, laughing at his surprised squeak. Dan sauntered to the laundry room and emerged finally wearing pants, smiling softly at Phil. Phil smiled back and stood up, grabbing Dan's hips and pulling him into him. Dan blushed and wrapped his arms around Phil's neck, smiling.
"You ready to go?" Phil asked softly, resting his forehead against Dan's. Dan nodded and went to pull away, but Phil only pulled him closer.
"Phil, we have to go," Dan whined, pouting up at his husband. Phil started to sway them, dancing around the lounge happily.
"Enjoy the alone time while it lasts," Phil mumbled, pressing a quick kiss to Dan's lips before twirling him. Dan laughed softly and shook his head in mock shame before starting to fully dance with Phil. They danced until Phil's phone rang, interrupting their peaceful time together.
"Ignore it," Dan whined, wrapping his arms around Phil's hips. Phil sighed a little and grabbed his phone, quickly answering it regardless of Dan's protests.
"Hello? Yes. Sorry, we're headed there now. No, we did't. Dancing, Jen, we were dancing. No, it was not dirty dancing. Jeannette Marie. Sorry, babe. You know I love you, Jen. Okay, okay we're headed to the airport," Phil laughed, pausing as Jen questioned him. He hung up and smiled over at a pouting Dan, giggling a little.
"'Babe' and 'I love you'? Seriously Phil? I thought you were gay!" Dan pouted, crossing his arms over his chest. Phil smiled and kissed over Dan's face, causing him to blush and giggle.
"You know Jen, love. Besides, I only call her babe. She calls me lion, it's only fair," Phil said happily as Dan wrapped his arms around Phil's hips.
"But you're my lion, not hers!" he whined, pouting up at Phil. Phil just smiled softly and kissed Dan warmly, holding him close.
"Baby bear, you know you're the only one for me. Jen is gay," Phil laughed, watching the realization cross his face.
"Oh…how did I not know about this?" Dan whined, burying his head in Phil's neck to hide his embarrassment.
"You never hang out with the band?" Phil offered, giggling at Dan's whine. Dan huffed and rolled his eyes, playfully slapping Phil's chest.
"I'm always busy with meet and greets, and filming videos!" Dan pouted, huffing dramatically as he glared playfully at Phil. Phil just rolled his eyes and grabbed Dan's hand, tugging him downstairs.
"We're going to miss our flight, love," he said softly, pressing a kiss to Dan's temple before grabbing their bags. Dan grabbed Phil's free hand as they walked out of their flat and onto the busy streets of London, almost instantly being blinded by flashing cameras and deafened by screaming fangirls. Phil just smiled and waved, occasionally stopping to take a picture or sign a few things. Thankfully, they quickly got into their cab and escaped from the horde of screaming teenage girls. Dan almost instantly snuggled into Phil, his head buried in Phil's neck.
"Why do you have to be so popular?" Dan whined jokingly, resting a hand on Phil's thigh, which Phil soon held.
"It's my ass, I promise," Phil joked, pecking Dan's nose affectionately. Dan rolled his eyes and blushed, lightly slapping Phil's chest.
"What ass?" he teased, closing his eyes peacefully. Phil just giggled and gently dragged his fingers through Dan's hair, humming one of his own songs quietly as they drove.
Eventually, the cab arrived at the airport and promptly kicked them out, with something along the lines of "dirty fags getting my cab infected". Phil just kindly smiled and left the man a large tip, whilst Dan flipped him off angrily. Once again, they shoved their way through a large horde of fangirls, only to meet up with the band once on the plane. Dan took his seat by the window, as usual, and Phil sat next to him, snuggling into his side as they were (thankfully) in first class.
"So where're we going first again?" Dan asked softly, resting his head on Phil's chest sleepily. Phil just grinned and played with Dan's curly mess of hair, pressing a kiss to the top of his head.
"Paris, and we'll have two off days there, which means I get to show you around," Phil smiled as Dan's eyes lit up. He smiled up at Phil, blushing slightly as he yawned.
"Paris? You've never taken me to Paris," he mumbled excitedly, snuggling closer to Phil. Phil just chuckled and pulled a blanket over them, kissing Dan's nose.
"There's a first time for everything," Phil joked, but Dan was already fast asleep. He smiled down at his husband and took another picture, only to post it on Twitter and Instagram once again. Dan just whined and grabbed Phil's phone, taking it from him. He laid it on their small table then set his next to it, grinning sleepily.
"Nap," Dan demanded, to which Phil happily complied. Little to their knowledge, Jen was happily taking pictures of the sleeping couple and posting them. However, one comment went completely unnoticed.
'Nice seeing that you're happy with Dan, Phillip. It's a shame you're coming back to Manchester - Charlie'
