Back-Up Boyfriend

You and Me

Dan opened his eyes, looking around, assessing his surroundings. He felt Phil's heart beating against him. Dan felt safe. 

"Morning," Phil says softly. "Sleep well?" Dan nodded, and turned towards Phil. Phil's hair was messy, his fringe stuck up in the air. 

"Look," Dan says looking up into Phil's eyes. "I"m sorry for last night, it's-just-it was worse than usual." Phil puts his hand on Phil's shoulder. "Don't," 

"I'm here, no matter what." Dan smiled and kissed him.

"Now," Phil says getting out of bed and leaning down to pick up a t-shirt, Dan suddenly got a pang of disappointment. "How about some breakfast?" 

After a long breakfast of coffee and pancakes, Dan and Phil sat on Phil's small love seat. Dan threw his legs over Phil's and leaned his head on Phil's shoulder. Phil's hands rested on Dan's back, holding him closer. 

"So," Dan says looking into Phil's eyes. "What do you want to do today?" Phil shrugged, he had figured Dan would want to take it easy today, apparently not. 

"I don't know, you're usually the man with the plan." Dan nodded and thought for a moment. "Why don't we just stay here? It's nice and cozy here." Dan smiled. Phil nods "That sounds perfect." 

Dan stares at Phil, taking in all of his features. His black, whispy hair, his deep blue and gold eyes, his strong jawline. Phil watched Dan, letting him trace his jawline. Dan puts his finger on the bottom of Phil's chin, slowly drawing his head closer. His lips met Phil's, giving them both a sense of relief. 

Phil pulled away, an I love you stood behind his teeth, banging to get out. Dan cut him off  "You're eyes," He stares deeply into them again. "They're like three different colors." Phil felt himself blush. 

Dan's gaze fell deeper. "Blue and green, with little specks of yellow, wait gold." the last syllable was drawn out and long. Phil giggled. 

"I love you." He leaned back a bit. Did he really just say that? Dan looked at him, straight faced. His eyes looked down, thinking. "I love you too." He says. Phil smiles and sighs in relief. 

Dan notices this, and decides to tease him. "Did you think I would say no?" Phil shakes his head, chuckling nervously.

"You thought I was going to say no!" Dan says laughing. "No! I-I-" Phil's cut off once again, with a kiss. He smiles and looks at Dan. "I love you." Dan smirks and puts his head on Phil's chest. Phil sighed, a burden off of his chest, and a boyfriend on top of it. 

Author's Note: Hey! I hope you guys are enjoying this story, I'm trying my best to make this one  a little "different" from my usual with all the angst and such, but I needed a fluffy chapter. Also I'm sorry if this story doesn't get updated regularly (or even semi-regularly) I'm really busy with this school bullshit and marching band, so be patient! Thank you!
