In your arms. (Phan)

He's a great friend.

After waiting the longest wait of his whole life, the nurse finally came out of the room.

"He's woken up, but he's still a bit out of mind. Just be careful with what you say and don't raise your voice above a silent talk." 

Dan thanked the nurse and slowly walked through the door. Both his and Phil's face lit up when they saw each other. 

"Hey Phil, how are you doing?" Dan whispered carefully.

"I'm alright. A bit sore." 

"I wouldn't expect less." Dan said and chuckled. "Do you remember what happened?"

"Everything happened so quickly. All I remember is looking up and seeing this car. Everything from then on is a blur." 

"I'm so sorry, Phil. I should have been there. I could have helped. I'm so sorry." Dan said as he put his hand on the bed next to Phil.

"Dan, don't apologize." He placed his hand on top of Dan's. "The other driver hit me, there was nothing that could have been done. And I was the one who left before you were awake anyway."

"It honestly scared the hell out of me when you hadn't shown up. I was so worried about you."

"Well, I'm okay. It's relieving to see you."

"You too. I'm so glad you're okay. I couldn't picture what things would be like without you."

The nurse walked in to give Phil some pain killers. 

"How are you feeling, Mr. Lester?" She asked.

"Better. Much better."

"Are you experiencing any abnormal pain?"

"None at all." 

She wrote that down on her clipboard.

"Any constant headaches or feeling of nausea?"

"I've been getting small headaches on and off, but they aren't very long and they always go away."

She nodded and continued writing notes.

"And how is your memory? Are you seeming to remember things alright?"

"As far as I know, yes."

"Could you tell me who this is sitting next to you?" She pointed at Dan with her pen.

"That's my best friend Dan." Phil said while smiling.

"How old are you?" 

"Twenty six." 

"And your birthday?"

"January, 30."

"Your memory seems to be absolutely perfect, which is a great sign. You'll have to stay here for a while so you can rest and heal some, but you should be home in no time."

"Thank you, ma'am." Phil said quietly.

"Also, Dan here. He's a great friend. He got here right after I called in and he's been here ever since waiting for you. I'll leave you two and be back in a few hours to give you more medicine, Mr. Lester."

Phil looked at Dan and smiled widely as he mouthed the words "You're the best." Dan smiled back at the older boy and gently hugged him, making sure to be extra careful. 

"I really don't know what I would do without you, Phil. You're my best friend. You've impacted my life so much and things would be absolutely awful without you around all the time." 

Phil looked down as Dan said this. Was he blushing? No way.

Dan looked at his phone and realized it was nearly midnight. He'd spent the whole day in the hospital. He started yawing as the nurse walked in again.

"Are you ready for more medicine, Mr. Lester?"

"Yes, I am."

"Alright, well considering the time, we're gonna have to give you one to put you to sleep so you can rest up. Your friend is allowed to stay if he wants, but you probably won't be awake for more than half an hour." 

"That's fine." Was all that Phil had to say. He took the pills and glass of water from the nurse and swallowed them down.

The nurse left again and Phil looked over at Dan. 

"Thank you for spending all this time here. It means a lot to me." Phil said while smiling at Dan.

"Not a problem. It was either this or spend all day worrying about you anyway, so I'd much rather spend my time here."

"You could go if you want. I'll probably fall asleep soon." the older boy said while yawning.

"No, it's okay. I'll stay until you fall asleep." 

Phil looked so cute and innocent when he was tired. Wait..What am I thinking? He's my best friend. I'm not supposed to think he looks cute. But..he really does..he's like a small puppy.

'Phil continued to yawn and he eventually layed down while turning his head to look at Dan.

Dan is the best friend I could ever ask for. I'm so greatful to have him in my life. He's the sweetest guy I've ever met. 

"It's gonna be lonely sleeping in the flat without someone being 30 feet away at all times." Dan said while frowning. 

"I'll be home shortly. I'll have them release me as soon as possible. It's going to be lonely here without you too." 

Phil is so sweet. I could just kiss him. Wait. What? What am I thinking? I shouldn't want to kiss my best friend? But..he is really adorable...

I wish I could have Dan stay here with me. The hospital is going to be so lonely and terrifying without him. 

Phil yawned yet again and his eyelids started feeling heavy. 

"I'm tired." He said in the middle of a yawn.

"Well, you've been through a lot today. It's okay if you fall asleep." Dan placed his hand right next to Phil's.

Phil slowly moved his hand on top of Dan's and smiled up at him.

"Thanks Dan. You really are the best." 

"I wouldn't rather be anywhere else right now."

Phil's eyes closed and he fell asleep.

God, Phil looks so sweet when he sleeps. He's so innocent and pure. Like a child, who has no bad thoughts on their mind. One who hasn't yet been exposed to the cruel things in the world and has nothing to worry about. So carefree. And Happy. And peaceful..

Dan leaned down and gently kissed the top of Phil's hand and then whispered. "Good night, Phil." He quietly stood up and walked to the door. He turned around to look at Phil once again who was happily asleep. He walked through the door and slowly shut it, so the slam wouldn't wake Phil up. 

When Dan got home he lied in bed for hours, but he could not sleep. He tried everything. He made himself a cup of tea, he counted to one hundred, he read a book for a while. He just couldn't stop thinking about Phil. He wanted to be there with him. To make sure he was safe. He didn't want to fall asleep and miss a phone call from the hospital if anything happened. Normally, Dan wasn't one to worry too much, but this time was different. Today he'd experienced feelings that he wasn't quite sure about before. Does he actually like Phil? No way. He couldn't. He's not..Maybe he is..He kissed Phil's had today. The thought of that again made him blush. Why was he blushing? What is going on? Does he really think that Phil could ever feel the same? No way? But..maybe he does. Maybe they both do..So many endless thoughts..
