10-Both P.O.Vs

Phil's P.O.V-

Is this the right address? I slid my phone out of my pocket, returning to the text that Dan had sent me the night before. I squinted at the front door, attempting to read the numbers. I then glanced back at my phone screen, the light highlighting my black Christmas jumper in the darkness of the night. Yep, this is the place. I shivered, a cloud of my misty breath appearing in front of my face, before I walked up the front steps. Luckily the apartment was the first one on the ground floor and I didn't have to wander through the halls looking for it. I adjusted the wrapped presents underneath my arm and pressed the doorbell. After a few moments, someone answered the door. He was tall and lanky, maybe a bit younger than me. He had floppy brown hair and thick-framed black glasses. He smiled at me and motioned for me to come inside. Once I had awkwardly shuffled past the boy and was stood inside the apartment, he closed the door behind me and held out his hand. "Well, I'm assuming you're Phil. I'm Charlie. Nice to meet you!" I shook his hand and smiled back at him. "You can just join everyone in the lounge down the hall, I'm just fixing some snacks. Dan'll be excited to see you, you're all he's talked about for WEEKS." I blushed and stared at him, shocked into silence. He smiled at me and motioned down the hall. "Go, be with him!" Charlie then retreated into the kitchen after wiggling his eyebrows at me suggestively. I coughed awkwardly before starting down the hall, my hands in my jean pockets. As I got closer, I noticed a door at the end of the hall. It was cracked open a bit, a beam of light escaping. Three familiar voices came from inside. I sped up my pace, excited to see Dan. Oh, and PJ and Chris. When I got to the door, I cracked it open wider and poked my head in the room within. A large Christmas tree took up most of the room, flashing lights and baubles adorning it. PJ and Chris were sat in two armchairs by the window, facing me. Dan was laid out on a sofa near the fireplace, his back to me. I caught Peej and Chris' gazes and held a finger to my lips. They silently nodded and turned back to Dan, attempting to suppress their giggles. "What's so funny?" Dan's voice warmed my heart. I set the presents down on the floor and started forward, holding my arms out in front of me. When I reached him, I tackled him and rolled him off of the sofa, covering his eyes. When we were on then floor, I was straddling him, my knees on either side of his hips. My hands were clasped tightly over his eyes. I leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Hey Danny, did you miss me?"

"What's so funny?" I had been in the middle of explaining my story about my trip to the Llama Reserve and Peej and Chris had started hysterically laughing. All of a sudden, I was pulled off of the sofa, my vision being obstructed by something cold. Suddenly, something pressed down on top of me, my vision still dark. Then, a pair of lips brushed against my ear. "Hey Danny, did you miss me?" I smiled widely as Phil's hands moved away from my eyes. I was gazing up into his beautiful blue/green/yellow eyes, his smile lighting up my world. His black hair brushed the edges of my face. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him closer to me. He collapsed on top of me, giggling. Then his arms wrapped around my neck, his cheek pressed against mine. "I missed you more than you can imagine Philly." I felt Phil's cheeks heat up at my remark, and he wrapped his arms tighter around me. Suddenly, we heard an awkward cough. Phil jumped off of me, and I sat up. Peej and Chris were staring at us, giggling and wolf whistling. I stuck my tongue out at them, and Phil laughed beside me, his cheeks bright red. I took his hand in mine and stood, helping him up. We both sat on the couch, our hands still clasped together. I could already tell that tonight was going to be great.

Phil's P.O.V-

"Really Charlie? Thanks." Chris shook his head at the book in front of him. Dan giggled at the present Charlie had gotten for Chris. "What? It's pretty important to know that Everyone Poops," Charlie defended. I snorted,my giggles fighting to break through. Everyone had already opened their presents from Charlie, PJ, Chris, and I. I had given everyone an animal keychain that lit up and made noises, and I had received a pack of fake tattoos from PJ, a lion hat from Chris, and a clay unicorn from Charlie. Now it was Dan's turn. He distributed his presents. Mine was small and round, and I smiled as Dan handed it to me. Chris opened his first, gasping at it. It was a thick book titled "Almanac of Strange Medical Cases 2015". PJ opened his next, jumping up and down when he ripped off the wrapping. It was a new fancy camera. Charlie opened his, which was that month's rent for the apartment, and he smiled at Dan, nodding. Then it was my turn. I slowly tore off the wrapping to see the pink fluffy blob fish I had picked up at the shop a week ago. I shook off my tiny twinge of disappointment and hugged Dan. "I love it. Thank you." He smiled at me, and there was a glint of mischief in his eyes. What is he up to? All of a sudden, Charlie stood up. "Okay everyone, time for the party games!"

Dan's P.O.V-

By the end of Monopoly, PJ and Chris had left, I had chucked a hotel at Phil, Charlie had thrown up from too many sweets and went to bed, and Phil and I were the only ones left in the lounge. It was a close game, but eventually I went bankrupt, and Phil was the winner. When I had lost my last dollar to the black haired fiend, Phil jumped up and "made it rain" all over the floor. I groaned and told him to pick it up, frowning at him. My eyelids were beginning to feel heavy, but I persevered. I had to stay awake for my surprise. I smiled at the thought of my plan, but was soon shaken out of my thoughts by a squeal. I jumped up and darted across the room to Phil. "What is it? What's wrong?" Phil giggled, turning to face me. "It's nice to know that you care Danny, but there's nothing wrong. Quite the opposite actually! Look!" I followed Phil's gaze out of the window. At first glance, there was nothing to be seen. Then, something caught my eyes. Something was floating through the air. I gasped as Phil smiled gleefully at me, grabbing my hand. "Snow!" I giggled at Phil's adorable overjoyed expression. Everything about him was adorable. His soft black hair, his pale white skin, his tri-colored eyes, even his lip piercing and black Christmas jumper depicting a gangster Santa. As I was drinking in the beautiful sight that was Phil, I felt his free hand settle on the small of my back, his eyes still locked on mine. He tilted his head slightly, moving closer. His eyes fluttered shut, his long eyelashes resting on his red cheeks. I tilted my head slightly and leaned forward, my heart thumping wildly. I shut my eyes, feeling Phil getting closer with every passing second. Then our lips met.

Our lips met. My heart soared as our lips moved together rhythmically. Dan's lips were soft and full, his breath warm and inviting. He entwined his arms around my neck, and I wrapped my arms around his waist, our bodies pressed together. We kissed for the longest time, only breaking away in need of air. Afterwards, we just stood there, our foreheads pressed together. We stared into each other's eyes, taking it all in. Then, Dan released me and turned around. I almost whined at the lack of contact. Then he came back to me, holding another package. He laced his fingers with mine and pulled me over to the sofa. When we were sat together near the fireplace, I could tell that Dan was fighting hard to stay awake. "Dan, it can wait 'till the morning." My voice was a bit raspy. Dan yawned, but protested. "No, I have to give this to you now. Merry Christmas Phil." I took it in shock. My cheeks flushed as I smiled at Dan. "You already got me my blob fish! I've already named him and claimed him as my own!" Dan smiled sleepily. God, he was adorable. "What'd you name him Philly?" He rubbed his thumb over my knuckles. "Danny Jr." I smiled at him, and he leaned into me, smiling back. "That's adorable Phil, thank you. Now open your goddamned present!" The excitement in his eyes was almost too much. I ripped the paper off slowly, just to savor the moment. Inside the package was a jumper. It was pastel blue, and one word was printed on it in black block letters. "Soul?" I asked him. He nodded and groggily unzipped his jacket. He had a matching jumper on, except with the word Mates instead of Soul. Tears sprang to my eyes as I realized what the gift meant. "Oh Dan, it's so cheesy. I love it." I buried my face in his neck, a flood of tears threatening to spill over. "I was planning on asking you out tonight, but I guess we kind of met halfway," Dan said through my hair. I pulled away from Dan for a moment and slipped off my Christmas jumper. I then pulled on my pastel jumper to match his. He smiled at me, his dimples lighting up the room. "I guess now you're stuck with me Philly." He smirked at me, and my heart fluttered. I gently but firmly pulled Dan towards me and smashed our lips together. I laid back on the sofa, and Dan laid on top of me. We kissed until we were short of breath, and then we just cuddled. We eventually repositioned ourselves to where I was spooning Dan, my back pressed against the back of the sofa. Before I drifted to sleep, I uttered something that I had never imagined I would say aloud. "I love you Danosaur."
Dan's P.O.V-
After Phil and I had kissed until the point of exhaustion, we cuddled, Phil spooning me. With his free hand, he played with my hair, and I ran my thumb over his knuckles. We were both drifting off to sleep, when suddenly, Phil uttered, "I love you Danosaur." Without hesitation, I smiled and said, "I love you too Philion." As unconsciousness overtook me, one thought ran through my mind. This had definitely been the best Christmas yet.
