It was ten minutes before Dan was about to appear on the Ellen DeGeneres show. He had no movies he was promoting and he felt more nervous than he ever did before. Finally when he was ready to walk out, he sent a quick text to Tom, who was back at home.
Text message: turn on the tv, and watch the Ellen show. :) - Dan
A few seconds later and Tom replied.
Text message: what? Okay.. - Tom.
***********************
An hour later and Dan was back in his car, heading over to his hotel room where he was staying for a couple days. He looked at his phone, 52 missed calls and 108 text messages. He hit Toms name and waited for the ring.
"Dan, do you realize what you have done?" Tom asked shocked.
"Yes, I'm quite aware of my actions. I thought it would make you happy, did it not?" He asked intrigued, coming out to the world on national television was easier than he thought it would be, and confessing his love for Tom felt right.
"I am, but the real question is- are you happy Dan?"There was a silence after he asked it, but not for long.
"As long as your in my life- I couldn't be happier." Daniel could feel the smile on the other end of the phone. "I love you." He said quietly.
"I love you to... Potter" He smirked on his end of the phone.
"Malfoy." Dan rolled his eyes on his end. "I'll be home soon."
"I'll be waiting..." Tom replied.

About a week later and Tom and Daniel were on the couch watching TV when Tom looked over to the love of his life.
"What do you think about marriage?" He asked, unsure of the response he was about to get.
"I think with the right person it can be a beautiful thing." Dan answered truthfully.
"Am I the right person?" He asked hesitantly.
"You want to get married?" Dan asked, he never quite saw himself getting married so young.
"Well not today." He shrugged his shoulder. "But yes, someday."
"Want to practice for our honey moon in the bedroom?" Dan smiled as he leaned in close enough to kiss Tom, and to change the subject.
"Why go to the bedroom?" He smirked once more and pushed himself on top of Daniel, after a few moments of making out Tom spoke. "Did I ever tell you how much I love the way you smell?"
"Every..day" Dan's breathing was heavy, he didn't feel like talking so he grabbed the back of Toms head and brought it closer to his.
"Well..you..smell.. Amazing." Tom slowly made out each word as he kissed down Dan's neck.
The two spent the rest of the evening wrapped into one another's arms, nothing could go wrong in their lives, at least so they thought...
