I'm surprised anyone's read this far. I hope you enjoy!
Dan-
Today's Valentine's Day. The holiday of 'love'. Here's the thing, I have no one to love. I'm always a loner on this holiday, I just hang out with Phil.
Phil makes everything better. If I'm sad he brightens my day and makes me smile. He doesn't force me to be happy, he encourages me to be happy. Even when I'm in the midst of an existential crisis, he's the only one that can make me think correctly again.
Over all of the years that we've been together, I can tell you that I'm in love with Phil Lester. I'm just not brave enough to tell him how I feel. I'm afraid of rejection, I know how much that hurts. I don't think I would be able to take rejection from Phil, it would hurt too much. It would also be awkward considering we live together.
Today was just like every other Valentine's Day, saddening. I think I'm going to die alone. I can't imagine a future without Phil in it. Without him as my husband. He most definitely doesn't return my feelings. Why would he?
Anyways, I get out of bed and head to the kitchen. I just want to eat ice cream and sleep all day. So that's exactly what I'm gonna do. I grab the tub of ice cream, a spoon, and I shut my door and lay down.
About an hour later, Phil knocks and comes in. "Dan, get up and get dressed. I'm taking you somewhere."
"Where? Are you finally gonna kill me? At least you're doing it on Valentine's Day, the day that I hate most." Phil just rolls his eyes at me.
"Daniel, get dressed. I will be waiting for you to get done." He closes the door, leaving me sighing and not wanting to get up.
I pull myself up and go to my wardrobe. Stripping down I pull on some black skinny jeans, a black shirt, and a pair of black converse. I feel like it's a little 'fuck you' to the pink and red of today.
I open the door and see that Phil has also changed. He's now wearing black skinny jeans, a blue shirt, and a leather jacket. 'He looks fine af' I think, biting my lip.
We just sorta look at each other for a minute. He then clears his throat and asks if I'm ready to go. I nod and follow him out the door.
"Where are you taking me, Lion?" I ask, curiosity taking over.
He smiles over at me, "It's a surprise, Bear." The little nickname makes me smile. Every time I hear it, a smile appears on my face.
After about 5 minutes of walking, we arrive at a small restaurant. I haven't been to this one. I wonder how Phil found it.
When we entered, I saw that it was actually quite cute. It had a color pattern of white and black. We were seated in a black booth, him on one side and me on the other.
"How'd you find this place, Phil?" I ask, looking up from my menu.
"I was on one of my walks and I sorta just found it." I nod. It sounds like something he'd do.
The waiter came back over to take our order. We both just got water and a medium cheese pizza to share.
We made small talk until the food arrived. And let me tell you, that was some of the best pizza I've ever had.
"Why did you take me out?"
"You deserve to be out on Valentine's Day. You're always alone, I am too, but I think we're there for each other. We both need this." I blush at this. I'm not sure if it's possible, but I've fallen even more in love with him.
After eating, we decide to walk back home and make a Valentine's day video. We just want to brighten people's day.
We decide that we're going to make another Sims video. This shall be interesting.
We're about half an hour into making our video. Everything has been smooth sailing. Until Phil made a sexual innuendo.
I started laughing really hard. I want thinking at all, the only thing on my mind was 'I love this man'.
And before I knew it, that actually came out of my mouth. "Ohhh, I love you." My eyes widen, I wasn't supposed to say that.
My face is on fire, I slowly meet Phil's eyes. He's smiling. The only thing I can do is smile back. "I love you, too."
I didn't think I could smile this wide. But it's very possible, and my little Lion was the reason I was smiling.
Before I knew it, we were both leaning in. And I felt Phil's smooth lips against mine. We both smiled into the kiss, piling away shortly after.
"Will you be mine, Lion?"
"Of course I will, Bear."
We kiss once again. And this time, we didn't edit it out.
