A/N || This is gonna be fluffier than a pillow guys ||

The screams of young children pierced the midnight air. Dan flinched at the shrill sounds coming from the speaker, ready to drop the facade he was playing. This entire night he had been biting back yelps and resisting the urge to grip Phil's arm for dear life.

Phil looked over at him with sympathy sensing his obvious uneasiness. He had only vaguely felt Dan flinch which was impressive since he was cuddled into his side wrapped in a blanket. He knew that Dan hated these kinds of movies but brought it up anyway to get back at him for finishing the last of the Nutella while he was out. It was a petty thing to be upset about, even if Phil was only mock angry. The real reason he wanted to watch a horror movie was because he knew Dan would get scared and turn to Phil for comfort.

He only felt little remorse for his actions because seeing Dan curled into a little ball was all worth it. Dan was still oblivious of Phil's real reason for watching this movie. He only wanted to impress his lover with his fake bravery. To say the least Phil was surprised at Dan's courage. He almost wanted to tell Dan that they didn't need to continue watching. Almost.

Instead he turned up the volume and continued watching, unfazed with a smirk on his face. He decided to have some more fun with Dan. "Hey babe, I'm gonna go to the bathroom for a second." Phil said getting up and sneakily grabbing the remote.

"Phil do you want me to pause it for you?" Dan stammered, "The good part could start at any second!"

"Oh it's alright, I've seen this one before." Phil lied, "I'll only be a second anyway." He said turning away with a smirk.

Phil walked to the restroom formulating his scheme. After minutes of careful plotting, he almost started to laugh envisioning Dan's reaction. It was only an innocent prank that didn't require much, only sneakiness. Phil stayed for another minute to make his bathroom visit more believable, drumming his fingers to the walls.

He then sneaked out taking a peak at Dan's form on the couch curled up. He nearly backed put of the prank to spare his poor Dan. Then he weighed his consequences. He wouldn't scare Dan bad enough to get him mad, only spooked. Phil predicted that Dan would turn to him once again. Yes, he would continue.

He tiptoed to a small nook that Dan wouldn't be able to see from his position. He stuck his head up from behind it lifting the remote with him. He waited for a small jumpscare to play before he pressed the button that would send his boyfriend tumbling off the couch in fright. Dan jolted up, looking around for Phil once he saw the completely black screen. When he didn't see him he tried playing it cool. He sat back down nearly trembling.

After a few minutes he started looking for the remote, turning over pillows and cushions in the process. Since Dan had insisted on immersion to amplify his viewing experience, all the lights were off and he could hardly see. He suddenly regretted his previous arrogance. Dan finally succumbed to his irrational paranoia of the dark and called out, "Phil? Are you there? Hello?"

He shut his mouth and listened intently for Phil's voice to reassure him. When he heard muffled snickers coming from a small cranny he realized what had happened. He had been pranked. "PHILIP MICHEAL LESTER." Phil's head peeked out. "Yes Dan?" He choked out with tears in his eyes. "Are you kidding me Phil? Oh my God I cannot believe I fell for that. Get up and turn on the lights."

"Why Dan? Don't you want to continue watching?" Phil replied as he turned on the lights. Dan sighed in relief at the fact that he could now see.

"Phil no. I think I'll just go to bed." Dan decided, "You can come with me if you like." He added, turning away in the direction of their shared room.

"Mmhm. I'm coming. Don't you worry bear." Phil smirked saying Dan's nickname. Dan turned around quickly looking at him. He scrunched his eyebrows in pretend anger. He walked back to Phil grabbing his hand and dragging him back to the room. Turning the lights back off on the way.

Once they got to the foot of their bed Dan's expression suddenly turned stone cold. He let go of Phil's hand and walked to his side of the bed realizing how much Phil must have enjoyed scaring him. He decided it was his turn to scare Phil, but in a different way. "Dan? You cannot seriously be mad at me for that! I was only trying to scare you!" Phil said realizing his plan had backfired. Dan had to be joking. Right?

Dan made no reply. He simply laid down on his side facing away from Phil who was already lying down. Phil gave up trying to talk to Dan who seemed to have already set his mind. Phil closed his eyes and tried one last time. "Goodnight Danny. I love you. And I'm sorry for scaring you. I just wanted to have some fun. I guess I was wrong. Sleep well."

Dan grinned at Phil's adorable and heartfelt apology. He sensed Phil's real remorse and sadness and decided he was done teasing him. He didn't want to keep up the act any longer. He started laughing obnoxiously, achieving his goal. Getting Phil's attention. "Phil! Phil! I'm sorry! Phil I'm only joking. I had to get back at you!" He managed to say between snorts. Phil turned to Dan with his mouth gaping. "Really? I thought you were actually angry with me Dan!"

"You can't have possibly believed that I was mad at you for such a petty thing Philly."

"At first I didn't but when you refused to answer me I started to fall for it!" He said embracing Dan in a bear hug. Dan immediately reciprocated and hugged him back. "I'm sorry I scared you too."

"Yeah you should be. Your scare was worse than mine!"

"How so Philly? You actually made me jump." Dan asked curiously.

"Well," Phil started, "you are so important to me that I don't know what to do when you get mad at me. It just makes me stress out. Knowing that I made you unhappy or upset breaks my heart and makes me feel absolutely terrible. When I found out you were just messing with me made me more relieved than annoyed."

"Aw Phil. No matter how many times I get mad at you I will never stop loving you. When we make up I fall in love with you all over again. Now. Let's get to sleep okay? It's really late and we have some meetings tomorrow." Dan said glancing at the clock. 1:34 am.

"Yeah, you're right. Again, goodnight and I love you bear. This time I expect a reply." Phil mockingly demanded.

"Okay okay. Sleep well. I love you too." Dan replied dreamily. Slowly both lovers drifted into a peaceful slumber in each other's arms.


A/N HI! So I decided to give up on my other story GASP since I really didn't have any passion left for it. I am now writing what I am currently passionate about, which makes me extremely happy. :)
