After their first kiss, Phil bids Dan goodnight and walks into his bedroom. Dan, pleasantly surprised by Phil's bold move, just stands there, disoriented. After a couple seconds, Dan reaches up and touches his lips, remembering the feel of Phil's smooth lips on his (after all, Phil does moisturize). Dan smiles, turns, and walks into his room. Still in a trance, he slowly undresses and puts on his pajamas, climbs into bed, and drifts into a peaceful, dreamless sleep.
The next morning, Phil is the first to awaken. He decides to make himself and Dan breakfast. So, Phil walks into the kitchen and gets all the ingredients together to make pancakes. Soon after, the pancakes are all done, and Phil arranges them on a plate and sets the table. Not anything too fancy, just basic silverware and the plate of pancakes in the middle.
Phil walks over to Dan's room. "Dan?" He calls softly, knocking on the door. No response. "Dan?" Phil knocks and tries again. No response. Quietly, Phil opens the door and steps inside. Dan is still sleeping, snoring softly and laying on his side. Phil decides not to wake him, steps out of the room soundlessly and closes the door.
Phil returns to the kitchen and eats his pancake in peace, looking through twitter and seeing what everyone has been up to. About 10 minutes later, Phil is quite bored. It is only about 7 in the morning (Phil had gone to bed earlier than normal the previous night), so he decides to go for a walk. He walks into his bedroom and changes to suitable clothes for outside. Phil grabs a light jacket, his phone, and his key. But before he leaves, he grabs a pen and post-it note and writes a note for Dan:
Dan-
I've gone out for a walk. I made pancakes for you which are on the table. Be back shortly.
-Phil
He leaves the note on the counter where Dan is sure to see it as the first thing when he walks in. Phil slips out the door and takes a nice stroll to the park, where he sits on a bench, relaxes, and watches the beautiful sunrise.
Meanwhile, Dan is just beginning to wake up in the apartment. He stretches casually and climbs out of bed. The apartment is oddly silent, Dan notices, and he walks out into the kitchen. There he sees the note. He reads it, and turns to see the pancakes waiting for him. Dan smiles, touched that Phil made breakfast for him, but feels a bit guilty: Phil had clearly wanted to eat breakfast together, but had been sweet enough to let Dan sleep.
Dan sits down and takes two pancakes from the plate and begins to eat. He takes out his phone and texts Phil:
Hey Phil - I'm awake. Thanks for the [pancake emoji]! Come home soon 3
-D
A minute later:
Ok, I'm on my way home now.
3 Phil
Dan smiles and finishes eating. Just as he's washing the dishes, he hears someone walk through the front door. "Phil?" He calls. "Yeah, it's me," Phil replies. Dan quickly finishes drying his plate and walks out to greet Phil, however, Phil walked into the kitchen at that exact moment. "Ah!" Phil gives a small yelp as he runs into Dan. They both fall to the floor. When they realize what happened, Dan and Phil start laughing. Dan stands and helps Phil up. "Hey," Dan says. "Hi," Phil replies, grinning. They both retreat into the living room and plop down on the couch. "How was your walk?" Dan asks Phil. "It was nice! Really calm and quiet," Phil remarks. "Cool. Maybe I'll join you next time." Dan suggests. "Okay. How were the pancakes?" "Really good, thank you!" "Sure. So, what do want to do today?" Phil asks. "Well, actually, I thought we should make a video, you know, explaining everything." Dan says. "Oh. Um, yeah, no, you're right, we should." Phil responds.
They go into Phil's room and begin to set up after discussing it a bit more (what they will say, who's channel to upload it on, etc). Then Phil starts recording.
A/N: Hey guys! This is just a short little update to keep the plot going. Btw, the '3's' in their text messages are supposed to be text hearts, I can't do the 'less than' sign on this site (also called an angle bracket). Please follow/favorite if you liked it, and review what you think! ~L
