Faeries (Phan) {COMPLETED}

*13*

*Dan's POV*

I looked to Phil to congratulate him on his progress, but instead I saw flailing arms and bubbles. Phil was drowning.

I swan frantically over to him and managed to grab him before he sank too far down. He hadn't passed out yet - in fact, he was only seconds from it, I thought. I dragged him to the shore, over some stones, and laid him on the grass.

"Phil, are you alright?" I asked, panicking.

He coughed and nodded, grinning. "I'm fine, Dan."

I collapsed onto him, embracing him. "Oh, thank God, I thought I'd drowned you! It would have been all my fault and I never would have let myself get over it and I would have been so ups-"

"Dan." He cut me off. I lifted up so my face was inches from his. We locked eyes and the longing in his gave me permission to lean down and kiss him.

His lips were soft and still wet from being underwater, and they moved in sync with mine. He tasted of love with a hint of Ribena. I didn't dare use my tongue, as I wanted to keep this sweet and innocent. He seemed to get the message and kept his back as well. We kissed for what seemed like eternities before I gave a final tug of his upper lip and came back up, pulling my bare chest off of his and sitting in the grass next to him. He sat up as well and looked me in the eyes again.

That's when I first noticed how absolutely beautiful his eyes were. They were deep blue like the ocean, and I could swim in them. They were bright as the sun, and they made me so very happy. I blushed and looked away.

Phil stood without a word and gestured for me to come sit on a large stone with him. I obliged and sat beside him, lacing our fingers together as I did. We looked out onto the pond in silence for a while, contemplating what had just happened.

After a while, Phil looked to me. "That happened."

"Yeah, yeah it did." I blushed again.

"Did you know you're beautiful?" Phil asked me.

"Did you know you are also beautiful?" I asked Phil.

He smiled and turned his shoulders towards me, leaning in and kissing me again. It had all the passion and love of the first and more.

I pulled away for a moment. "Phil?"

"Yes, Danny?"

I smiled at the nickname again. "I love you."

He kissed me lightly on the lips before whispering, "I love you too."
