"Ice cream?"

Dan looked at Phil pointedly. "Okay then", Phil said to no one in particular and turned around, still wanting to have some ice cream himself. He scooped two balls of vanilla ice cream in his bowl and dribbled on some chocolate sauce and sprinkles, deciding to get fancy with it.

Dan was lying on the sofa fully and stared at the television with a blank expression. As Phil laid behind him to cuddle Dan from the back, he wondered what was up with Dan.

"Are you okay, Dan?" he asked worriedly. Dan was getting tired of that tone that everyone seemed to use with him now days. Though he had to understand it, because he did make a reason for them to use it. However they still could hide it a bit better, when they tried to seem happy for others even when he was in the company.

"I'm fine, Phil. You shouldn't worry about me all the time. It's not good for your health. I'm just thinking about stuff", Dan told him nonchalantly.

"What are you thinking about then?" Phil kept on asking him. He stroked Dan's left side with his free hand while trying to eat his dessert that was put on the armrest.

Dan sighed heavily and closed his eyes for a moment and rubbing his hands over them. "I'm thinking about us. Nothing to worry about, but what are we going to tell the others? I mean our friends and family know now, but should we tell the viewers?" Dan muttered worriedly.

"Oh... Well, I'm not sure either. The whole internet might explode if we do."

Dan turned around in Phil's embrace so that his back laid against the cushions and he could see Phil better.

"I know. But now that we're keeping it from them and I kind of feel bad about that. It just feel like something they should be told about, because they want to know for sure. Still I want to keep it between us as a secret", Dan said. It has already been a secret to them for months now. A few weeks ago they had only told their families and close friends.

"I think the same. Well, let's keep it like this for some time longer until we feel comfortable about revealing it to the fans, or not. I think it'll just happen if it's meant to happen. No need to rush or feel bad, this is just between us and we shall be the ones only who decide of what we want to tell or not."

"You're right. Thanks, Phil", Dan thanked him for making him more relaxed. "No problem, hun", Phil said with a laugh and gave a kiss on Dan's nose.

Phil heard the beautiful piano sounds and tunes coming from Dan's room. Phil walked in to see Dan playing the old piano looking very concentrated and beautiful. The song played incredible and hauntingly by Dan and the whole house swayed with the emotion coming from the music.

When the song came to an ending Phil remarked that Dan had learned finally the entire song: Ingénue by Thom Yorke.

Phil came behind Dan and wrapped his arms around the younger boy's neck. "That was amazing", he commented. Dan just chuckled the compliment off like he didn't believe it, like he didn't. Phil would have said otherwise something about it, but he knew that Dan was too stubborn to think differently of his compliments. He just satisfied himself from that sad truth by kissing Dan again.

Dan leaned his head back so he could answer the kiss better and then opened his mouth a little, inviting Phil in for a deeper kiss. Phil bit slightly on Dan's lip and then letting his tongue explore Dan.

A soft moan of a whimper escaped from him and Phil cupped Dan's face gently in his hands like it was fragile like glass. Phil smiled at him and gave a little laugh. "You're endearing", he said.

"Hey, you can't quit now!" Dan said and attacked Phil's lips again, smashing them together. That only made Phil laugh even more, but after a while he hugged Dan tighter and they started kissing more passionately now.

Slowly Dan was standing up and Phil lifted him to the bed. "Would you...? Ah... Dan", Phil began moaning as well and was pinned beneath Dan's light weight. His lips went to Phil's neck where he gave light kisses there and there. Phil now had the time to take air and ask Dan.

"Dan, would you like to go further tonight?" he asked after their making-out kept going longer and further than before.

Dan lifted his head from Phil's chest. He had a terrified expression on his face though he tried to hide it. So no...

"We don't have to", Phil was quick to say and sat up a little. He tried to calm the situation a bit and slow it down. He was already aroused from all the touching and kissing so he might also need a shower.

"No, no, it's just...", Dan said because he saw that Phil felt awkward and a little ashamed about himself now. He had clearly misunderstood his response.

"I'm just feeling a bit self-conscious", he told in a quiet voice and put his gaze down onto the bed. He was now sitting in front of Phil and started to curl into a fetal position and look small so Phil might took pity in him and wouldn't make him feel anymore bad about himself than he did already. Of course he knew that Phil would never say anything bad about anyone, he was way too good and pure for that. It was just the illness doing the talking, because it was the one that made him so insecure in the first place. Though he always had been shy and reserved.

"It's alright, baby. You have nothing to be insecure about. You're absolutely perfect, honestly. But if you're not ready, I can wait of course. I'd do anything for you", Phil said to Dan sweetly and caressed his cheekbone. Dan smiled against his touch and looked down slightly embarrassed. "I'd do anything for you too. I love you", he whispered back. Then he looked at Phil's handsome face behind his dark, long lashes and when Phil came to kiss him all over again, they fluttered closed and he let himself fall backwards as Phil came on top of him.

Again, just a quick chappie.
