I Will Love You Endlessly (Sequel to i dare you to love me)

Part 4

It's far too fucking cold for Phil to be naked as the day is born right now, but under his duvet with his boyfriend - no, his fiancé - pressed up against him is definitely taking his mind off of the fact that their heater isn't on and he should probably relocate to the shower.

"I love you," he murmurs to Dan, kissing his bare shoulders, his neck, his collarbones. His lips travel up to his jaw, the tip of his chin, before settling on his lips once again, and he pulls him unbelievably closer to him, their limbs entangled together, bodies meshed in post-sex glory.

Dan tucks his head into the crook of Phil's neck, sighing contently and he exhales, "I love you too," against the older man's skin. And they lay in a comfortable silence, Phil holding Dan, Dan staring at the engagement ring on his finger, and it's only been a few hours since Phil had proposed but they're both certain that this feeling - this indescribable feeling of euphoria and pure love - isn't going to go away anytime soon.

Phil kisses Dan again, moving down from his cheek and spending extra time with his lips pressed against his neck, and the brunet squirms beneath his embrace.

"Hey, you," Dan says. "Need I remind you that's how we ended up here in the first place. And frankly, I'm far too exhausted for round two." He pauses thoughtfully. "At least right now."

Phil chuckles. "Fair enough," he says and he places one final kiss atop Dan's forehead before settling comfortably next to him and sighing happily. "I love you so much, you know," he says.

"You literally just told me that," Dan chortles.

"And I'm going to tell you for the rest of our lives, Mr. Lester," Phil says matter-of-factly.

"Dan Lester," the younger one muses, and his lips curl into a smile, his cheeks flushing red. "I like that sound of that."

"Does that make me Philip Howell?" Phil asks. "Or are we doing a combined name ordeal like Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka? The Howell-Lester's? Lester-Howell's?"

"Dunno," Dan mumbles, not taking his eyes off of the ring on his finger. "It all sounds so perfect to me." He tilts his head back to look at Phil and he says, "You're perfect."

Phil grins. "As are you, my love," he says, kissing Dan's lips once more. "As are you."
