Okay before I start this I'm just letting you know that it's 1:00am so if this part is bad I'm blaming it on that :)

PHIL P.O.V.
I wake up to see Dan laying next to me in his boxers. It's raining slightly and I can hear rustling of trees. It's very peaceful. I get my phone out and check the time. 3:28am. I run my fingers through Dan's fringe and stroke his hair. It's calming. Since I'm awake at 3:30am I decide to have a look through tumblr. There's pretty much nothing. I go back to stroking Dan's hair. Then I slowly move my hands down to his back and draw patterns on it. He is so beautiful. I could get lost in those chocolate brown eyes any day. I fall back asleep with my hand on his back the rain drizzling in the background.

DAN P.O.V.

Phil.
My best friend.
My lion.
My lover.
The name AmazingPhil does suit him quite well. I hear a pitter patter of rain and trees blowing in the wind. Even though it is dark I don't feel scared at all. Knowing that Phil is right there next to me is the most comforting thought I could ever think of. He's asleep with his hand on my back. I wouldn't dare move and wake him up. I turn my head to face him. He is an adorable sleeper. I listen to him breathing.
"I love you Phil." I whisper.
"I love you too Dan." He whispers back. I didn't know he was awake. He speaks so softly that I didn't get startled at all.
"I didn't think you were awake." I say. His eyes flutter open. His smiles at me and moves his hand off my back.
"I wasn't until you whispered. I think that I wasn't asleep for very long." He answers. I reach out and grab his hand. We stay like this for a while. I listen to his breathing. I listen to the rain. I listen to leaves rustling in the wind. It is all very serene.

Phil falls asleep as his breaths get deeper. I watch his eyes close as he gets pulled into unconsciousness. When I am sure that he is asleep I pull my hand away. I hear a few birds tweeting. As usual they were probably awake since midnight. For some unknown reason it calms me to think that I'm not the only life form that is awake right now. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.

I wake up and Phil is stroking my hair. I open my eyes and smile at him. He smiles back. If I could freeze any moment in time, it would be this one. He leans in and our lips meet. The move in sync for about 10 seconds before we break away. Oh dear God I love him so so much.

We get up to go eat breakfast. I sit in the lounge room with my browsing position enabled.
"Phiiillll," I say. He pokes his head in the door. "I need to go shopping, um, last minute Christmas presents." I say.
"Oh I'll come too." He says grabbing his coat off the couch.
"NO, er I mean no you can't come because..." Should I tell him that I'm buying him another Christmas present? Eh what's the worse it could do. "Because one of the presents I'm buying today is for you." I look at him and he seems I little disappointed that he can't go with me but he trusts me.

I go to the shops and walk to the jewellery shop. I stop at the rings and pause.
"Um excuse me do you sell engagement rings?" I ask the man running the store. I hope he isn't homophobic. "Engagement rings for men?" I say awkwardly. He smiles a warm smile at me. Phew.
"Just over here lad." He says in a thick Irish accent.
"Thanks." He helps me pick out a ring for Phil and I purchase it. "Thanks again for all your help." I say to the cashier.
"No problem. Say, what's your name." He asks. I really shouldn't tell a stranger my name but I have a feeling that I can trust him.
"Dan. My name is Daniel but people call me Dan." I say.
"Well Dan, good luck." He says and goes to help another customer. I walk around for a bit but then I remember that Phil will be wondering where I am. I call a cab. As we pull up to our apartment I notice that it's already 5:30pm and light is fading quickly. I open the door and climb all those stairs to where our apartment is. I knock on the door and shove Phil's ring in my pocket. He hugs me the second he sees me.

PHIL P.O.V.

I open the door to see Dan standing there. I couldn't resist myself and run up and hug him. He strokes my hair which feels nice. I notice that this isn't the best place to be hugging. What if fans found our apartment and saw this. I pull out from the hug.
"Dan let's go inside and hug, fans might see us." I say nervously. He nods but this hug doesn't feel the same. I realise Dan isn't holding any bags. "Where's my present Dan?" I ask. He looks at me.
"It's a small one don't worry I didn't forget your present." He says reassuringly. Now let me hide it so you can't find it and look at what I bought you." He laughs. It's true though. If he leaves it on the kitchen counter I would take just a tiny peek.

After he comes back we play video games until 6:45pm. I cook us some dinner and we watch AHS while eating. He finishes first and comes over to where I am and stands behind me. He kisses my forehead.
"I am deeply in love with you Phil." He says. I look up at him.
"I am in love with you too Daniel James Howell." I say and kiss him. Our lips move together like synchronised swimmers. It's like we were made for each other. I know that's cheesy but it's what I really think.

I wake up the next morning with one thought in my head. I slept with Dan Howell.
