"Michael Lester if you don't hurry we're going to be late," Dan reminded Phil as he walked down the stairs.

Phil tangled his hair in his straighteners. Wow. He tried pulling his hair out painfully. They were seriously going to be late.

"Oi!"

"Yeah I know, gimme a minute. My hairs stuck- Ow!", Phil flinched.

Dan appeared at Phil's door and laughed at his boyfriend's stupidity. He stepped forward and took the straighteners from Phil and untangled his hair.

"Alright you idiot, now let's get a move on," Dan laughed and walked out.

Phil quickly kept the straighteners while smiling to himself. Dan was laughing more often and he almost seemed happier and contented with life. It was a hell lot better than when he first met him. The improvement was good. Jogging out, Phil caught up with Dan and planted a small kiss on the cheek before setting out.

"Where's Phil?", PJ asked.

"I dunno- Oh, there," Chris pointed.

Dan tugged Phil's sleeve." Are you sure this is a good idea? I'm like the worst and most awkward human ever..."

Phil smiled sweetly at Dan." They're going to love you, Dan. Don't worry." But not more than I love you, Phil silently thought.

"Hey guys! PJ and Chris, this is Dan," Phil gladly introduced.

"Hey," Dan waved awkwardly waved at them.

"Ah, the mysterious Dan that Phil never stops talking about," PJ rolled his eyes Phil.

Dan giggled and shook his head, hugging Phil's arm. Phil looked down and blushed.

"Enough small chatter guys, I'm freaking starving," Chris said.

Lunch was a breeze and Dan clicked with them fast. Turns out that they had a few common interests and they soon became friends.

"So you and Chris are married right? You both seem young," Dan asked.

PJ smiled at his husband. "Yeah, we are. We're not that young... Anyways, I love him. I'd figured we didn't have forever to wait. So why not live with the one you love now."

Chris blushed bright red and slapped PJ's shoulders lightly. "That's fucking cheesy, Peej."

"But it's the truth," PJ kissed Chris.

Phil sighed at the cute couple and Dan held onto Phil's hand, smiling as well. It was truly a great double date so far.

"Where is the toilet in this place?", Dan politely asked.

Chris stood up. "I'll bring you there, I need to use the toilet too. Excuse us."

Phil nodded and picked up his pasta with his fork. PJ chuckled, earning a look from Phil.

"Have you done it with Dan yet?", PJ cheekily asked.

Phil almost spit out his food. "What even?"

"The last you asked me who topped and bottomed, Phil. Why can't I ask you this," PJ smirked.

Phil rolled his eyes," Well PJ, no we haven't. We just got together, mind you. I want to take things slow with him. As long as he's comfortable, I'm happy."

PJ was impressed. "Wow, mature thinking Phil."

"Haha PJ. Thanks 'best friend'."

When Chris and Dan came back, they finished their lunch and headed for a movie. As if it couldn't get more cliché, PJ and Chris spent almost the whole movie making out with each other.

Evening eventually came and they said their goodbyes.

"Bye Phil and good luck," PJ winked.

Dan raised a brow. Phil waved goodbye and started walking with Dan's hand in his.

"Where to?"

Phil smiled, "it's a surprise. Come on."

Dan excitedly followed Phil. Somehow, they ended up somewhere dark and Dan started to get anxious. He hated the dark.

"P-Phil? It's really dark now. In case you didn't know-"

Phil held Dan close, arm around his waist. "I know you're scared of the dark, Danny. Bear with it for a while more, we're getting there."

Dan pursed his lips tightly. Where on earth was Phil bringing him to?
They turned into a creepy alleyway and Phil covered Dan's eyes with his hands.

"Close your eyes and then turn left," Phil whispered.

Dan did exactly as Phil told him to. Once Phil lifted his hands, Dan's eyes immediately focused on what was in front of him. It was perfect.

"I know you told me about that cruise date thing before but I was kinda low on cash because of debts and rent," Phil admitted embarrassingly.

"Phil I-"

"But! I tried, okay? I know it's just a dinner near the sea side but the view's pretty great at night and I mean the setting pretty neat right? It's not a fancy date with a fancy setting but -"

Dan cut him off with a sweet kiss. He wrapped his arms around Phil, tip-toeing to deepen the kiss.

When they finally pulled away, Dan squeezed Phil tightly.

"Stop rambling you piece of shit, I love it; it's perfect. I don't need a fancy dinner or executive planning whatsoever. All I need is you, Phil. Come on, I wanna eat," Dan smiled like an idiot and dragged Phil to the dinner set up.

It was a table for two, dimly lit by a fancy looking candle. Roses and other beautiful flowers were placed around the area and soft music could be heard in the background. And the view was great, and there was a cool sea breeze blowing softy.

"The food should be here in a few minutes," Phil said.

Dan nodded, smiling to himself. Phil had to be the single most amazingly sweet person ever.

"You know you didn't have to do this for us right?", Dan told Phil.

"Don't be silly," Phil replied," it's the least I could do. But anyways, we're going there to spend the night."

Dan turned around to see where Phil was pointing towards. It was a hotel that stood out with bright lights and what seemed like artistic imprints on the facade of the building. Dan blushed. Why would Phil choose such a grand place to spend the night? Unless...

Dinner came and they spent their time having small talk and enjoying the beautiful view of the sunset. Soon, nightfall came and they were done with their food.

"Alright Dan, not too much wine alright? You can't hold your liquor very well," Phil quietly warned.

Dan nodded, already starting to feel tipsy. They left the table, heading towards the massive hotel. Phil placed his arm around Dan's shoulders protectively. This place seriously needed some lighting because it was dark as hell.

"Mm, Phil let's quickly get out of this place. It gives me the creeps," Dan whispered.

"Yeah yeah, I know babe. Just a bit more till we get there. I know," Phil said as he suddenly got on his knees.

"Climb on, I'll give you a piggyback," Phil suggested, pulling Dan to get on his back.

Dan laughed and readily agreed. Phil ran through the dimly lit park towards the hotel.

"Jesus Phil, slow down," Dan laughed and held on to Phil for dear life.

"Alright we're here!", Phil panted with exhaustion and carefully let Dan down.

"I'm doing that to you next time," Dan playfully rolled his eyes.

They checked in at the counter and made their way up.

I actually have the next 4 chapters ready but I'm taking a really Long time editing because I'm busy as fuck.
