"Ph-Phil?", Dan whispers tentatively into the darkness, scared of what laid ahead. "Phil?"

Dan had just been scrolling through Tumblr, looking at all the beautiful fan art his fans had drawn of him and Phil, when suddenly the lights went out, as well as the wifi connection, and a loud 'boom' of thunder and a flash of lightning arrived.

Dan was deathly afraid of the dark and of storms, so this was his worst nightmare. He was so scared, his mind could barely function. Dan called out to the only one he knew who could save him.

"Ph-Phil?", Dan says, a bit louder. "Phil?"

"Dan, don't worry, I'm coming."

He hears Phil's voice travel through the hallway into his room.

"Dan, don't worry, it's going to be okay", Phil says comfortingly, looking down at Dan hiding in his blankets.

"Are you s-sure, Phil?", he asks quietly.

"Of course", Phil replies.

They stay cuddled in Dan's bed for a while, and the silence was interrupted by Phil asking,

"Are you hungry? Cause I am!"

"A b-bit", Dan replies, getting up.

"Cmon then! Let's go get some food!"

Phil gets up and heads down to the kitchen, Dan following behind, holding his hand. Somehow, when he was touching Phil, he felt... safe.

Dan was a bit confused, as since the power went off, none of their appliances would work. How would they be able to make food?

Phil interrupted Dan's thoughts with, "Let's make some popcorn!"

Dan was really confused now. Their microwave wouldn't work, so how were they going to...

"Oh Dan, you should've seen your face! We're not gonna make microwave popcorn, I got the bagged popcorn, ready to eat!", Phil says. "Also, we have some chocolate milk here!"

Phil brought out the popcorn as Dan took out the chocolate milk, and they began eating in silence.

Not much later, Phil says, "Let's dance!"

"What?", Dan replies, confused again.

"I said 'let's dance'! Come on, I have a playlist on my phone!"

Phil takes out his phone and starts playing a pop song.

Of course, it's Taylor Swift.

Shake It Off is blaring from the phone while Phil starts dancing, dragging Dan with him.

They dance like crazy people, moving their arms and legs randomly, but still to the beat of the song. It seems that in the dark where no one can see you, you can act like yourself a lot more.

Dan laughs, and sings along in a really off tune way. Soon enough, Phil starts singing as well. The song ends too quickly, and another one starts playing.

It's a slow song, "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran. Dan thinks about how much he'd like to dance with Phil to this song.

His dreams have come true. Phil again has dragged him, holding his hands and twirling him around. They both laugh, and sway together to the music.

After a few more songs, Dan declares that he's too tired to dance any more, so Phil suggests they watch a movie that he'd already downloaded onto his laptop. They cuddle under the covers and Phil opens up his MacBook.

"How about a funny movie?", Phil asks. "I don't think this is really a good time to be watching a scary one"

"Yeah", Dan replies.

Phil selects one of Dan's personal favorite funny movies.

Phil presses play, and the movie starts. Dan shifts further under the covers, and they watch in silence.

Sometimes they'll burst out laughing, other times they'll hold their breaths until the scene is over. Once, Dan grabbed Phil's hand because the scene was 'too cute', and he was blushing for 5 minutes after.

The movie was coming to a close. It ends with the two main characters kissing, and Dan turns to Phil, finding that he was already looking at him.

Dan stares into Phil's sparkling blue eyes, and moves in closer. He tentatively presses his lips onto Phil's, and they finally kiss.

With that, the storm stops, and everything is okay again.
