Chapter 6

It was the day before Phil's 26th birthday. He had slept through the reminder of the night without any problems with nightmares. He had woken up at around 9am, surprised to find Dan's hand on his stomach and his breath tickling the hair on the back of his neck. He was surprised, but not unhappy, not unhappy at all; he even half-smiled before reluctantly gliding out of bed, out from under the warm blanket and the warm body of his best friend.

Dan did not stir from his sweet sleep. Phil turned his back on the adorable sight of a sleeping Dan and headed to thee door to go and take a much needed shower; he had again gotten too hot and sweaty from sleeping next to Dan. He was sensing a pattern here.

Right before he left the room, he heard a mumbling voice from behind him. "Phil..."

Phil quickly turned around. He was expecting to see Dan awake, but he was still sleeping. Had he just said Phil's name in his sleep? Was he dreaming about Phil? He couldn't help but grin at the thought. He stared curiously at his friend for a few more minutes, but Dan remained silent and fast asleep.

God, he was so beautiful when he was sleeping, Phil thought before he shook his head and brought himself back to reality. He needed to stop staring at Dan, it was creepy, and he really needed to go and have that shower and get started with editing his new video.

Phil was sitting in the lounge by the table, editing his video, when Dan walked into the room.

"Good morning, are you editing your video?" he asked, voice still coarse from sleeping.

"Morning! Yeah I still have a couple of hours work left though… This takes longer than I expected. What are you doing today?"

"Well first I'm going to have coffee and a shower. Then I think I'll finally deal with those chairs. They need to go!" Dan glanced at the red chair in dissaproval.

"Great! Oh would you guess, I found out that the place we got the sofa from has matching armchairs, maybe we should just get one of those?"

"Yeah, sounds like a good idea. No more chair-experimenting now." Dan chuckled and Phil gave him a sweet smile before looking back at his computer screen. He was glad Dan was dealing with the chairs, especially since it was mostly Phil who usually had to take care of matters like these.

After Dan had had his breakfast and shower he spent the day making various phone calls and by dinnertime both of the mismatching chairs were gone and Phil had just finished his video-editing. Dan's stomach growled and he realized he had not eaten anything today except for a biscuit he had had with his morning coffee.

"What do you want for dinner?" He asked Phil, who was stretching in his chair where he had been sat for too long.

"I don't know, I don't feel like cooking anything. Maybe we could just order Chinese?"

Dan realized that if Phil had gone to his parents' like he planned, he would have a home-cooked meal today.

"I'll cook Chinese for you," he offered.

"Aaw that would be so much nicer actually, are you sure?" Phil felt really grateful. And hungry!

"Yeah I'll get started right away," Dan said and hoped they had all the ingredients home as he walked into the kitchen. He was pretty sure they did though; they cooked Asian-style food almost every week after all.

Phil was a bit taken aback by Dan's sudden helpfulness. First dealing with the chairs, and now cooking. And not to mention the help he offered last night. He still hadn't gotten over that.

Phil stood up and followed Dan to the kitchen. The least he could do was help prepare the meal. Plus, that way it would be finished faster, and he was starting to become quite famished.

Dan let Phil help prepare the meal but did most of the work himself. They managed to produce a Chinese-style chicken wok in just under half an hour.

While they were eating their home-cooked meal Dan asked Phil what he wanted to do for his birthday in the morning.

"Oh right, birthday… Umm, well I hadn't planned on being around people or partying or anything. I mean, I was just going to chill out at my parents' house anyway, had I gone there, so maybe we could just take the day off and do something fun?"

"Sounds good to me," Dan answered, feeling relieved that the next day was going to be just him and Phil doing what they do best. Without thinking he added, "It's a date then!"

Phil stopped chewing his current bite of food and stared at Dan, who suddenly realized what he was saying. "Oh, I didn't.. I mean.. We-"

"Oh shut up Dan," Phil laughed, "We have a date. It's my birthday and it's a date!"

Dan didn't quite know how to respond to that, but since Phil was now beaming at him with his most adorable smile, Dan could do nothing else that smile back at him sheepishly. At last he squeeze out a short "Fine" before he looked down, his face a pinker shade than usual.

"A date.." He breathed inaudibly and smiled down at his food.
