Phil sat quietly in his office, typing an email to PJ about a collaboration soon. Lightning and rain sounded outside. The occasional rumble of thunder could be heard in the distance. He heard a soft knock on the door. He spun his chair around to face his fiancé standing by the door.

"Baby, why are you awake? You went to bed-" Phil checked the clock on his laptop. It read 12:18pm. "- over an hour ago." He asked softly, smiling at Dan. The boy in the doorway had wrapped his arms around his frail body, looking down at his bare feet.

"I couldn't sleep.... I missed you." Dan blushed. He was shivering, standing on the cold wood floor in his boxers and white T-shirt. Phil smiled at him, and reached his arms out.

"Aww come here sweetheart. Is the storm scaring you?" Dan shuffled over to Phil to sit in his lap and shook his head.

"N-no." Dan muttered before a particularly loud clap of thunder sounded over their apartment. Dan whimpered and buried his face in Phil's neck. Phil wrapped his arms around Dan's waist and held him close. He buried his face in Dan's hair and inhaled the smell of his conditioner. After a moment, there was another crash of thunder and lightning could be seen out the window, illuminating the sky. Dan whimpered again and started to shake. Phil felt something wet on his neck where Dan's face was. Phil rubbed Dan's back with one hand and used his other hand to lift Dan's chin gently. He looked into his fiancé's brown eyes and wiped the tears away.

"Dan, baby don't be scared. I'm right here. Nothing can hurt you." He leaned forward and gently pressed his lips against Dan's. Dan kissed back, placing his hands on Phil's face. After a moment, Dan pulled away, wiping another tear.

"I know.... I just don't like it. Adrian never liked storms either. He would always let me sleep in the bed with him when we were little..." Dan sniffled and let a few more tears drip down his face. Phil wrapped his arms back around him and held him close. He let Dan cry in his shoulder, but he wasn't sure what else to do. So he did what he knew how to do. Phil started to hum softly, stroking Dan's hair.

"Danny?" He mumbled. Dan looked up at Phil again. Phil pressed his lips against Dan's. Dan kissed back. He licked the other boy's lip, asking for entrance. Phil granted it, opening his mouth. After a few sweet moments, Dan pulled away and rested his forehead back against Phil's.

"Do you feel better baby?" Phil whispered.

"Much. I can go back to bed now..." Dan replied back.

"This email can wait till tomorrow babe. I want to come to bed with you." Phil left Dan's grasp to walk back to close his laptop before shuffling back to Dan and pulling him close by his slender waist.

"I love you so much baby."

"I love you too."
