Last chapter: He didn't notice Phantom now looking up at him. As Danny drifted off to sleep, he also didn't notice Phantom get up from the beanbag and walk closer to the bed, his eyes on Danny the whole time.

With Danny still sleeping, Phantom felt it safe to, try out his feelings. He slowly reached his hand down and touched Danny's face. The boy below didn't stir. Phantom brushed some hairs out of Danny's face. He looked over it. Every feature was wonderful on him. His eyes fell to the other's lips and lingered there. Placing his hand softly on the pillow, he slowly leaned in closer. He paused just inches from the other. He looked back up, the other still sound asleep. Feeling brave, he closed the gap.

The kiss was short, but it still sent tingles through Phantom. He could only wonder what Danny felt. He didn't wake up, yet. Noticing this, Phantom sat carefully on the bed. He let his hands slowly slide down Danny's arms. A small groan came from the sleeping form. A smile played on Phantom's face. He tried more, he ran his hand down Danny's chest to his stomache. Danny's eyes started to flutter open.

As Danny opened his eyes, he saw Phantom leaning over him, his face inches from his own. He opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't find the words, as Phantom stole another kiss. "You're beautiful." He heard the other whisper. Danny couldn't help the blush that spread on his cheeks. He sat up in bed.

"That, was, sudden." He said, trying to find the words. He felt a hand run through his hair.

"I can't help it, I love you." Danny turned when he heard those words. How could the ghost love him when they'd been together so long?

"I've always seen you, when you look in the mirror among other things." Phantom answered for him. "We don't have to move fast if you don't want to."

"I do think I like you, but, yes, let's take this slow." Danny told him. The other smiled and got off the bed.

"Well, get some rest then, you need it. I'm around whenever you need." He leaned in and gave him a light kiss before returning to the beanbag.

Sometime in the middle of the night, Danny found himself awake. He sat up and looked down to where Phantom slept on the beanbag. He looked so peaceful. The other's actions earlier had surprised him, yet, not frightened him. He sniffled some from the cold still in him. He thought about Phantom again. The way the moonlight gently surrounded the other, his calm expression in sleep.

He wanted an excuse to touch the other boy again. Thinking quick, he went down to Phantom and got under the blanket he had, and snuggled up against him. As Phantom woke, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't sleep, I had a nightmare." Phantom grined and put his arm around the other. He fixed the blanket, then drifted back to sleep. Danny smiled as he too went to sleep.
