Dans hand was still holding Phil's when the sit belt sign was off and the flight- attendants started walking around offering drinks and snacks, non of them Seemed to want to let go.

Eventually phil was the one to let go of dans hand but it was only because a

flight-attendant handed him a pair of headphones, he gave Dan an apologetic look, which confused him, phill had nothing to be sorry about. As much as Dan liked the feeling of his hand in Phil's he knew it won't last for ever.

"So, what're you planning to do when you get to London?" Phil asked breaking the silence, Dan got a worm feeling again, which he seemed to get every time phill spoke.

"Oh, um.. Visiting my dad, you?"

"Well, I actually live at London"

"Oh" Dan said "so what'd you do in America" Dan couldn't help but slightly cringe at his stupid question, but phil didn't seem to mind, he just looked at the chair in front of him than back at Dan

"I was there for a work thingy" Dan giggled at how he was somehow able to sound so mature and childish at the same time

"And what work would that be"

"Oh, umm" phil struggled to find the words to describe what he did for a living and settled on "just like, something on the Internet"

"Cool" Dan said " I'm sorry if this comes out rude, but aren't you a little too young to have a job"

Phil giggled "I AM 21 but yes, I guess it is kind of young"

They both shared a few looks than started laughing, just because of the awkwardness of the conversation, they both got some weird looks that didn't bother them, when they managed to come Down Dan looked at phil,

"I am17 I live in California with my mum and I like muse, fall out boy, playing on x box and eating malteseres"

Phil looked confused

"I just wanted to get the awkward questions out of the way" his cheeks turned a bright shade of red and he was just about to try and jump out the window When suddenly phill said -using the same tone he did- "my name is phil Lester I am 21 years old, I leave in London, and I also like muse, fall out boy, playing on x box, oh and lions"

Dan smiled "lions?"

"No judgment in the sharing circle" he answered fake pouting at Dan

God your cute,

Dan almost said it but than stopped himself, he used up most of his confident on the little 'sharing circle' as phil called it

"Never" Dan chuckled

They than shared the next hour or so laughing, talking about their favorite games ,songs and everything else that they had in common, which surprisingly was a lot.

" so when did your parents got divorced" phil asked a while later as their conversation grew deeper

"Well, about a year ago, though they were separated 4 months before that" Dan said as he was already feeling quite comfortable with phil, maybe even much more than he ever felt with any of his old friends

Phil nodded "did you all live in California before and than your dad moved?"

"No, we used to live in London and than when my mum got full custody she moved us to California"

Phil that was studying dans beautiful face as he talked suddenly noticed the change of his expression upon mentioning his mum,

"you okey?" Phil asked, a concerned look on his face.

Dan contemplated tallying him and was just about to decide against it when he looked at his face or more precisely on his eyes, the most beautiful blue genuine eyes he'd ever seen, how could he lie to him, phil wold never judge him, and if he will, well fuck him than he isn't the person he thought he is anywise.

"Well, it's Kind of long and complicated" phil looked him straight in the eyes and nodded, than smiled "than its a good thing I have about 8 hours to spare"

Dan chuckled and sighed loudly "after my parents divorce me and my mums relationship was very good..." He continued only missing out a few details like his self harm, how bad his mums state really was and how much his mum really was homophobic, I mean even though he did feel very comfortable around phil he had to remained to himself the they have only been talking for about 2 hours, when he was done he was surprised to feel how wet his cheeks were, he didn't even notice he was crying, phil caressed his cheeks with his thumb collecting the tears, but when phil hugged him he completely snapped and started sobbing into the crock of his neck, dampening his jacket where his head lied, phil stroked his back in circular motions whispering calming words into his ears.

When he was finally able to calm down a little he broke their hug and sat down on his chair still holding hands with phil that was stroking the back of his hand with his thumb "I'm sorry" he whispered his voice was hoarse because of the crying and his throat felt dry, it heart to talk

"Hey" phil said gently tilting dans head using his fingers "you have absolutely nothing to be sorry about"

Dan breathed in shakily " it's just that, I ..I never told this to any one and.. And with you it's just so e..easy"

Phil smiled and they sat there in comfortable silence for a while, he thought about what he just heard and about how many things the boy sitting next to him went trough, all he wanted to do was to take him to his arms hug him and tell him it's all going to be okey until he believed him, Dan telling him he was gay continued echoing in his head for all the wrong reasons, he was gay and he felt bad for hiding it, even though he technically didn't.

he felt dans grip around his hand loosen and turned around to witness the most breathtaking sight he'd ever seem, dan looked so venerable his head resting on Phil's shoulder, his eyes gently closed shut still puffy and red, his cheeks were flustered and dump, his red puffy lips slightly parted and his hair started curling on the edges, a sign it was neutrally curled.

It was so comfortable

Phil felt his breathes slowing down and his eyes eventually fluttered shut very much to his discomfort, all he wanted to do was to continue looking at Dan.

The last thing he remembered before falling into deep sleep was Dan curling closer and himself placing his arm around dans shoulder.
