Table For Two

Phil sighed loudly as he set a bag down next to a table. "It'll be nice to be home," he whispered before plopping down in a chair.

"Yes, I agree." I smiled as I watched him. He was finally going to be himself. Since we had gotten together, there had only been a short period of time he hadn't been having problems with brain damage. I was ready for something normal.

"We should make a few videos soon," Phil said, playing with the hat he had just taken off between his fingers.

"Sure, once you are feeling better again maybe we can get back on a video schedule."

I sat down on the couch next to him. We just talked for a while, about nothing really. Eventually the two of us fell asleep, heads resting against one another's. It was nice and relaxing. We had both had a long past couple days, and really needed a nap. It was quiet, and we slept continuously, waking only to the sound of a knock on our door.

"I'll get it," I whispered, standing up and pecking him on the nose as I passed. I opened the door to one of our neighbors from down the hall. Harry Davidson was a man who was about seventy-two years old. He was very nice and had us over for tea sometimes. We didn't know everyone here, but we knew this older man fairly well. "Oh hi Harry," I said, yawning.

"Hello Dan, sorry, did I wake you?"

"Its okay, what's up?"

"I heard about Phil, and I wanted to see how he was doing." He smiled cheerfully and his rose colored cheeks brightened.

"Oh sure! We just got home from the hospital ourselves. That is why we have been asleep." I let him in to the living room. Phil leaned his head backwards over the couch so he could see us.

"Oh hello Harry," he said. He stood up and walked awkwardly over to us. The three of us talked for a while about various things, mostly Phil, before Harry left, saying goodbye and telling us he hoped Phil felt better soon. He was a very sweet and kind man, and he had kind of acted like a father to us there.

We returned to our couch. "Can we go do something tonight?" Phil smiled at me.

"We just got out of the hospital today," I laughed. "Aren't you pretty tired?"

"Sure I am tired, but I also want to go do something with you. I was thinking something nice and romantic. You know, dinner, maybe a walk through downtown tonight? You know our one proper date was a long time ago." He placed his hand on top of mine.

"Well that sounds amazing to me, but only if you are up to it. I don't want you passing out in the middle of the road or anything, okay?" My heart was beating incredibly fast. I was so excited.

"I am, let's get changed and head out. We can walk then."

I picked out a T-shirt, knowing we were going casual, some jeans, and a jacket. I went into the bathroom to straighten my hair. The past few days have not allowed me much time for hair straightening.

I walked out to find Phil dressed similarly. On his head was a black beanie, which I am sure he would appreciate anyway, seeing as to how cold it was anyway. His back was turned to me, as he was looking in a mirror at himself. I could see his eyes glistening with a strange sadness. I understood it, he had said how bad he felt about making me wait on him for so long. I didn't mind, I loved him.

I quietly walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist, interlocking my fingers in front. I rested my head on his shoulder and looked in the mirror with him. "You are so beautiful," I whispered.

He turned around and wrapped his arms around my neck. He leaned forward until his face was an inch away from my face. I could feel my breath hitching slightly, but I ignored it. I closed the gap between us, sealing my lips with his in a calm and sweet kiss. I tightened my arms around him and he did the same so that we were so close in each other's arms. It had been so long since I had kissed him like this, and I couldn't explain how much I missed him. I felt a tear or two fall from my eye. We stayed like that for a few minutes, kissing, happily embraced by one another.

When we pulled away, I whispered, "Let's go."

We walked outside and began our short trek downtown to find a place to eat. Settling on a small pizza parlor, we entered, leaving the frigid air outside.

"Hello," a man with a thick mustache greeted us. "Table for two?"

I smiled, grabbing Phil's hand. "Yes please." I liked the sound of that. Table for two.

We got our pizzas and ate, enjoying each other being there. Phil was eating a slice of pizza and got a big lump of sauce on his face. I laughed and leaned across the table with a napkin to wipe it off.

"There, better." I laughed again as he turned fifty shades redder.

Everything went amazing. We stood up to leave, handing the waiter the exact amount of money. I pulled my coat on and then kissed Phil. I was kissing him a lot lately. I honestly could not help myself. It took about ten seconds.

"Ready to go for a little walk?" I asked Phil, reaching forward and straightening his collar. He nodded.

"You two gentlemen have a very good evening," the waiter said, winking at us. I blushed, but thanked him and walked out.

We walked hand in hand through the downtown area. It had turned dark at some point, and the lights that glimmered down on us reflected in Phil's beautiful eyes. I had known him for so many years, but I still was getting butterflies in my stomach from looking at him. He was the most gorgeous person I had ever seen.

The waiter's words were continuously ringing in my ears. "You two gentlemen have a very nice evening." I intended to make it that way.

After the most amazing night ever, we returned home. I led Phil to the couch were we both sat down, facing eachother with our legs crossed.

"Philip Michael Lester. Phil you are the most amazing person I have ever met and I wish that I could let you feel what I feel about you. I just. I just love you so so much. Phil, oh my god I love you. I just want you to know that because when I see you, I feel my heart flip and that is the best thing ever. I don't know how I can show you. I just… I just… I love you." I was sobbing. My feelings for him were so strong and I wanted him to know that.

"Dan, shhh, Dan it's okay." He pulled me forward into his arms. "Dan I love you so much. I know how you feel. I'm right here, and trust me I am not going anywhere anytime soon. You are the best thing t ever happen to me, and I would not change anything that has happened in the past few months for anything. You don't need to cry. Please don't cry. I know how you feel." He rubbed my back. "It's okay love."

"Phil, how do you do that?" I asked. I noticed his confusion so I continued. "How do you manage to be so amazing? How did I get so lucky?"

Phil put his hand on the side of my face and rubbed his thumb up and down against my cheek. We both had tiny smiles on, and it was evident the love we had for each other. I couldn't be a luckier person.

"You look tired," he whispered to me. "Let's get you to bed, yeah?"

He took my hand and pulled me up, leading me to my room. I laid down in my bed after pulling off my shirt and jeans. Phil pulled my blankets over me and kissed my head. "Goodnight, Dan," he whispered. "I love you."

"Phil?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you stay?"

"Sure." He crawled onto my bed next to me and turned. We were face-to-face. I grabbed Phil's hands and slowly drifted off happily to sleep.
