The nurses flitted about the room, checking monitors and tidying up the dreary hospital room.
Phil was trying his best to focus on the matter at hand, Dan.
"Excuse me ma'am," he called to a young nurse who was about to walk out.
"Yes sir?"
"When will I be able to see a doctor?"
"We aren't allowed to let you see the doctor without a family member present. His parents have been called and are on the way."
"Oh, okay thank you." He said disheartened.
He hadn't been able to stop his mind from racing since it all happened. He just wanted to know what happened, his boyfriend was unconscious and still hadn't woken up.
It was all going fine until he just blacked out.
Phil took out his phone, typing up the many excuses he could give to Dan's parents if they were to ask how he found Dan in the shower.
"I was cleaning his bedroom and I heard him fall. But how do I explain putting clothes on him? Maybe just so he would have some on, or something to that effect. Or I was going to the restroom and I heard him fall…no that won't work. They know we have separate bathrooms."
"Hi Phil," Dan's mum walked in the door, worry lines prevalent as she greeted him. His dad followed closely behind, not looking any more pleased. "Do you know what happened?"
"They wouldn't tell me anything until you arrived. He hasn't gained back consciousness yet, I've been terribly worried."
A doctor stepped in the room very soon after, filling the empty air with his loud voice.
"Good afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Howell, we're very glad you could make it here so quickly on such short notice. I suppose you want to know what happened."
Mrs. Howell glared at the doctor, very displeased. "Yes please, my baby is lying unconscious this is nothing to laugh about."
"Please have a seat," the doctor turned suddenly serious as Dan's parents seated themselves on the couch in the room. Phil continued standing awkwardly in the corner of the room, keeping an eye on Dan. "Well to start you're very lucky this gentleman was around to get help for him as soon as it happened. Had he not gotten help immediately he could have slipped into a coma. Basically what happened was nothing out of the norm for someone his age. Does your son only live only live with, uh Phil wasn't it?"
"Yes, they've been roommates for a couple of years now."
"Well, I don't know how often you both cook or if you cook at all but the main cause was lack of nutrition. Your son hadn't eaten in at least twenty-four hours and had extremely low blood-sugar."
"Phil! Do you guys not cook or eat?"
"Mrs. Howell we eat all the time, Dan cooks a lot too. I know I've fixed meals for him but he doesn't necessarily have to eat them."
"Well, by the looks of his condition when we found him he was…er well he was in the middle of some measure of self-pleasure while in the shower and the flow of blood going to his erection was cutting off what he needed to properly function. This is fairly common with young men around his age who don't get the needed nutrition to function. He should wake up soon, and a nurse should be coming by in a few moments to check on him."
The doctor bolted out of the door following his last sentence, leaving Phil with Dan's parents.
"Phil, I don't know why he hasn't been eating but I want you to keep a watch on him from now on. Make sure he's eating at least three meals a day."
"Yes ma'am," Phil looked over at Dan who looked like he was stirring.
"Hmm…what happened?" Dan asked groggily.
"Dan!" His mum said with a sigh of relief, immediately running up to Dan and throwing her arms around him. "You fainted sweetheart, but luckily Phil was able to call 999 as soon as it happened."
"Phil? Where is he? I can't really see my vision is blurry."
"I'm right here Dan, I told you I wasn't leaving you for one second."
"Phil," Dan's eyes fluttered a few times before he spoke again. Phil's heart was beating fast, he was happy Dan was okay. That didn't change the fact that Dan's parents were in the room and he couldn't act like a little boy and jump on his bed, kiss him, and celebrate. "Thank you Phil."
"No problem Dan, I would hope you would do the same if the circumstance arose."
"I'm sorry for being harsh with you earlier, we're really thankful you got to him when you did. Do you mind letting his dad and I have a moment alone though?"
"No ma'am, I'll be waiting outside." Phil said, leaving the room quietly.
He walked down the hall, just wanting to leave with Dan and forget this mess. But he knew it wouldn't be that easy.
Dan's parents were now going to be keeping an even closer eye on their son; meaning less Dan and Phil time, and more of Dan being a nervous wreck on the phone with his parents.
He stepped into the waiting area, hoping to find something to eat since he was starving.
He spied a vending machine in the corner, walking over to it and grabbing at his pockets for his wallet. He took out a few coins, sliding them into the machine and getting exactly the thing he wanted most.
Even though Maltesers were Dan's thing, Phil was addicted to them just as badly. He opened the bag up and popped a few in his mouth, walking down the hall back to the hospital room in the process.
He knocked on the door, hoping to be let back in quickly as he was feeling pretty awkward standing outside with the nurses and other patients.
"Come back in Phil, sorry we needed to have a little family meeting."
"It's fine Mrs. Howell." Phil said timidly. "I got you a snack you might enjoy Dan."
"Maltesers, you know they're my favorite." Dan smiled goofily. "I don't know if I'm supposed to eat or not."
"Eat something honey, it's not exactly nutritious but it's something."
Phil handed him the bag before he began eating them by the handfuls.
The doctor walked back in, this time with a pretty nurse and a tray of food.
"I see you're up now, well I'm sure you would like to go back to those pretty ladies back home so if you just eat something here and your parents sign a few papers you can be on your way." He said as the nurse put the food on a tray for him. She winked at him as she walked out, making Phil's blood boil a little.
"Honey we're going to go ahead and do all your paperwork, Phil you watch him." His mum said, dragging her husband out the door with her.
As the door closed, Phil inched himself closer to Dan who was cramming food in his face as if his life depended on it.
"Why haven't you been eating?" Phil asked.
"Look, I'm sorry I was irresponsible and an idiot. It won't change the fact that I fainted and ended up here."
Phil sat on the edge of the bed, smiling at Dan who looked confused.
"You're my irresponsible idiot. And I guess it doesn't really help that we've been having sex like two horny teenagers. It doesn't really give you a chance to eat. Maybe we should cut back?"
"Really? Because I was thinking as soon as I bust out of here we swing by Tesco, grab some whipped cream and fuck each other until the sun comes up."
"Actually, that sounds like a great idea." Phil smirked. "We have to change your sheets anyway."
Dan pulled Phil closer, giving him a slow kiss. He pushed him away when he heard the door knob click, revealing his parents.
"As soon as you're finished eating you're both coming with us and we're going to drop you off at your flat. Of course, not before we do an inspection. You're both going to be on close watch for the next couple of weeks by us. We can't risk this happening again, and that goes for both of you. We see you as much a part of our family as Dan, you're like our other son."
Phil had bolted over to the couch by now, Dan finishing up the food they had brought him.
"Mummy, we're both adults here."
"Fine, but Phil remember what I said. You are to keep a close eye on him at all times."
Phil smirked, "Don't worry Mrs. Howell; I don't see that being a problem." Dan was laughing hysterically now, climbing out of bed. "Uh…Dan, I know you have boxers on but no one wants to see that." Phil said pointing to the gown he had on which was open in the back. Phil was a great actor, seeing as he wanted nothing more than to ravish Dan right now.
Dan clutched the back of the gown frantically. "Where are my clothes?"
"I imagine these are the clothes you had on." His mum said, handing him the clothes Phil had put on him hastily before.
Dan's parents walked the two boys out of the doors, ushering them into the car.
"Mum, can you get us home quick? I really have to use the bathroom, and I don't like the ones in the hospital."
Phil looked at him, shaking his head as they pulled away from the dreary hospital at lightning pace.
As they rode home, Dan's parents began questioning Dan about the "girl" he had been with the last few weeks to make his diet so sporadic.
"Go on Dan, tell them." Phil said suppressing laughter as Dan got more uncomfortable.
"Well mummy, you remember Charlotte right? Well she actually has a roommate. The last time you called me we were actually in the middle of something very important when you called." Dan lied, but he wasn't hiding it very well.
"What's her name, I want to meet her?"
Dan looked out the window, trying to think of something he could remember. "Uh, her name is Skylar but I call her Sky."
"Is she available for Christmas dinner? You know that's just around the corner. Of course, as always you're invited as well Phil."
"I'm actually eating with my parents in the morning so I may come with Dan this year."
"Sky is away on holiday currently so I'll have to ask her later."
"Well, that explains this whole incident and why you were by yourself when it happened."
They pulled up to the curb in front of their house, Phil swiftly saying goodbye and going back in the flat.
"Dan, don't you ever scare us like this again. And make sure you talk to Sky, your father and I want to meet her." His mum said, kissing him on the forehead before he walked inside.
He darted inside quickly, almost pushing Phil over as he raced to the bathroom.
"Um, in a rush dear?" Phil inquired from the doorway.
"I wasn't kidding when I said I had to pee." Dan yelled from the bathroom.
Dan finished, washed his hands, and then went to find Phil who was in the kitchen. He gave a quick glance to him before going back in the lounge.
"So it looks like we won't be getting whipped cream and having sex." Dan said, flopping on the couch.
"I wouldn't be so sure," Phil said, coming back with a couple of cans from the fridge. "I don't know why we had these, but hey why not?"
"Come here," Dan said gesturing for him to sit next to him.
Phil placed the cans on top of the table and sat down. Dan leaned on his shoulder, nuzzling his nose into the crease of his neck.
"You know I'm ticklish," Phil said as he suppressed the fit of laughter to enjoy the moment.
Dan shifted, now sloppily placing kisses on Phil's neck.
"I love you, but if we don't get these clothes off soon I'm going to go mental." Dan whispered in Phil's ear.
Dan grabbed the whipped cream from the table and scurried into his room, leaving Phil a little shocked.
"Dan! Are you serious right now? I was comfortable on the couch," Phil said as he walked into their now shared bedroom.
Phil's eyes widened as he got a glimpse of Dan who was now lying on the bed with whipped cream on his chest, his pants still on although he was visibly hard through the thin material of his sweatpants.
Phil unbuttoned the top buttons on his shirt, fumbling the farther down he got.
"Phil, if you don't get here soon I'm starting without you." Dan said, running a finger through the whipped cream.
He threw his shirt haphazardly on the floor, pulling his shoes off and then attacking Dan.
Phil grazed his tongue across Dan's torso, paying close attention to Dan's nipples. Dan's hands found their way into Phil's hair as he began grinding against Phil's stomach. Phil mewled appreciatively, continuing to clean Dan's torso off with his tongue.
Dan flipped them over, spraying the messy whipped cream all over Phil.
"You are beautiful, Christ Dan keep going please." Phil was pinned to the bed by Dan, trying to keep from exploding.
They had been stuck in a rut, having sex pretty much just to have sex. This felt like the first time, pleasurable while still being able to pull back from that and just tell each other how much they loved the other.
Dan crawled off the bed, slipping off the sweatpants and boxers in one fluid motion and leaving them on the floor.
Phil looked over as Dan crawled back on the bed. He fumbled with the buttons on Phil's pants before revealing Phil's pasty skin against the black jeans.
"Going commando are we baby? That's pretty fucking hot," Dan said as he pulled the pants farther down until they were around Phil's ankles.
Phil kicked them off as he started squirming, just wanting to be touched.
"Dan, please?" Phil begged, pleading more with his eyes than anything else.
Dan gave him a nervous eye before putting his mouth on Phil. Phil resisted bucking straight into his face, and instead threaded his fingers into Dan's hair.
Phil felt his muscles contracting, knowing he was going to cum in a few seconds if Dan didn't get off.
Dan knew this and backed off, now grabbing their stash of lube off the bedside table.
He put a good amount on his fingers and started stretching himself, knowing he hadn't been bottom in a while.
Phil coaxed him on, pulling him as close as possible and kissing him. Dan hit a bundle of nerves as the kiss got more intimate, moaning into Phil's mouth.
"You ready?" Dan asked, pulling away from Phil briefly for his sign of approval. Phil nodded as Dan eased himself onto his boyfriend's hard on.
Dan started bobbing up and down, steadily hitting a bundle of nerves that he didn't even know were there.
"Oh, Dan you couldn't be any sexier if you tried." Phil was enjoying himself, pumping Dan as he watched the younger boy ride him.
Dan pushed Phil's hand away to grab a kiss from Phil, his eyes glazing over a bit as he managed to take Phil nearly all the way in.
Phil's eyes pierced into Dan's as he flipped them over, Dan now on the bottom.
Phil was pounding in Dan, feeling him tighten around his cock.
"I'm really close, ah…" Dan bit his bottom lip, holding back a moan.
Phil worked faster, pumping Dan while he got himself off.
After a few moments Phil cried out his orgasm, "Dan!" He pulled out, working his mouth onto Dan who was panting heavily, ready to get off. He worked his tongue over the tip, feeling Dan's muscles contracting and Dan's hands guiding him until he pulled away at the last second as Dan came onto his stomach.
"Now you've made a mess that we'll have to clean up."
Phil laughed, pulling the can of whipped cream out again and writing on Dan's stomach.
"Salty and sweet, kind of like trail mix." Phil said, licking Dan's torso clean in a few short moments.
"We're both still sticky," Dan said as he pulled the sheets over them and curled his body next to Phil's.
"We'll get a shower in the morning. Right now I want you to get some proper rest." Phil said, kissing the back of Dan's head and then casually running his fingers through his hair. "I love you Mr. Howell." He whispered, thinking Dan had fallen asleep.
"I love you too Mr. Lester…maybe one day we can change those names." Dan whispered back, a smile crossing both their faces as they faded into sleep.
I apologize in advance for my lateness...and I'm here to say that the next chapter probably won't be up on Saturday either (damn work schedule). I may be switching to Sunday for my update day, as it's the only day I know I don't have to work and can devote a lot of time to writing. So, how was it? I hope it answered your questions and you're happy Dan is okay!
Side note: while waiting for my next update you should go check out some Phanfictions from a couple friends (I suggest The True Meaning Of A Friend by NeverlandNat which is updated every other day usually; and also for my other favorite Magic Man and Pretty Boy by Owl-bones is fantastic)!
So, hope you enjoyed and don't forget to review please! (I've been lacking the last couple chapters which makes me a sad lion D:!) Look forward to a new chapter hopefully this weekend!
