Revelations
Phil was wide awake, and so was Dan. He hadn't realized that it was only nine-thirty. So, they propped themselves up against the pillows with their elbows and just talked, Chatting about everything. Everything that popped into Phil's mind, he would say, leaving Dan beaming inside and out. He truly couldn't get enough of Phil's genuine randomness.
Suddenly, Phil's face, along with his adorable smile, began to fall. The atmosphere in the room changed the moment his face went neutral. Dan caught this immediately and became alarmed.
"Phil," He started. "What's wrong? Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm alright. I just started thinking about moments like these. I just wish they'd never end."
Phil looked down and stared down at his bed, his expression began to verge into less-than-okay territory. Dan wasn't about to have any of that. Seeing Phil upset was a knife to his chest.
"Phil, as long as I'm around, I'll make it my mission to make sure we'll have moments like this all the time.." Dan said, giving him a playful wink.
"I know. But Dan, I'm closer with you than with anyone I've ever encountered in my entire life. I love you."
Dan's heart instantly sank and was completely speechless for a moment. They always said "Love you" to eachother, but the way Phil said it, the way he said it with the "I" in front of it, Dan could feel a huge knot form in his stomach. "I love you too, You know that." Dan said, lifting Phil's head with his hand to face him. Phil smiled just a little, then his lips went back to neutral.
"I know. It's just that..." Phil started, but then looked as if he couldn't finish. Soon, pure sadness invaded his heavenly bright eyes.
Not again, Dan thought. He had to tell Phil how he felt. He didn't care what the outcome was. Phil could be be disgusted, or at the least, completely uncomfortable. Either way, it'll be better than seeing that defeated look in his eyes a second longer.
"Phil, I don't think you're aware of just how much I love you. Seeing that look in your eyes is killing me. You're...you're my everything. And as long as I'm around, I'm going to make sure you never feel like this again. I promise." Phil's eyes went wide, and began to water. When Dan saw this, he couldn't stop himself. He placed two fingers under Phil's chin and slowly pressed his lips against Phil's. His lips soft, and they began to kiss back. A few seconds later, Dan took this moment in before he pulled back. He stared at Phil's beautiful features as he started to flash his beaming smile again. With his goal of making Phil feel all of his love accomplished, he dove in for another kiss. This time just a quick peck on the lips.
Phil quickly put his head on Dans chest and threw his arm over him, locking Dan in place.
"Dan, promise me something." Phil said in a hushed time... Without asking, Dan spoke immediately 'm not going anywhere" He said kissing the top of Phil's head and began running his fingers through his hair. Within a matter of seconds, Phil was asleep. His calm and steady breathing was beginning to lull Dan to sleep. It all happened so fast that Dan realized he hadn't even given himself time to process it all.
Dan shrugged it off. He can replay it in his head over and over again tomorrow. For now, the man-boy of his dreams was sleeping on his chest. His eyes became heavier and eventually closed. Once the darkness seeped through his eyes, he was asleep, dreaming of Phil.
