Not yours anymore (an adopted by phan story)

Cuddle

"Phil?"

I looked to my right, Dan was standing beside me, posed as if he was about to shoot off running.

"Dan! Dan where are you?" I heard phil scream, Dan started jerking his head around, searching for his husband.

"Dan! I see you, I'm coming!" I heard steps thud from in front of me, and watched as phil ran towards us.

Dan sprinted forward, Phil was still a few yards away from Dan but they where getting closer by the second.

They where a few feet apart now, both had their arms held out, reaching for each other.

POW

Phil fell to the ground, I wanted to sprint forward, but my feet seemed glued in place.

All I could do was watch.

Watch as Dan screeched painfully and fell next to him, as he sobbed over him and tried to shake him awake.

He tried to hold phil's chest, where a bullet hole had pierced his flesh. But it didn't seem to work.

With Dan's final blood curdling scream my eyes flew open.

I drew in a ragged breath, my heart beat so quickly that I was afraid it would jump out of me, and I was covered in sweat.

I immediately jumped out of bed, and sprinted out of my room.

With a whimper I threw open Dan and Phil's door.

And what I saw assured me that everything was fine.

I'm not sure what my sleep clouded mind expected, but it was wrong.

Instead I saw the two, peacefully sleeping. They held each other in loose yet protective grips, arms around each other's waist and legs tangled, the duvet had been kicked off the bed.

Every fear I had melted away in that moment, as I watched them breathe against each other, Dan had his nose tucked in Phil's neck, and Phil's breath made a strand of Dans hair float beside his nose.

My heart warmed, I remembered the time I'd cuddled with Kacey, it was almost just like this. One day after church I'd went to her house. We just watched an episode of doctor who and lay in her bed together, ignoring the world for just a little while.

So I went back to bed, knowing that my "parents" where safe.

And I dreamed about Kacey, about cuddling with her. Holding her tightly. Breathing into her red hair.

And I slept peacefully.

Of course it didn't last forever. Eventually I had to wake up and face something that I didn't want to.

But I just enjoyed it while it lasted.

God help me.
