"The Way You Look Tonight"

"Phiiiil," Dan whined from the couch in the lounge. Still in his browsing position, he slid his laptop off of his lap and waited for Phil to enter the room. A few seconds later, Phil peaked his head in the door.
"Dan? What is it?" He asked.
"Come here."
Phil walked to the couch and took a seat beside Dan, yawning. He rested his arm on the back of the couch and leaned his head on his hand. He had his pajamas and glasses on. He was just getting ready to go to bed, since it was almost 2:30 AM, and he and Dan had meetings for BBC Radio 1 in the morning.
"What did you need?" Phil mumbled lazily, his eyes half closed.
Dan smiled. "Come here," Dan repeated. He grabbed Phil's hand and lead him to the stereo on the bookshelf. Dan hit play and "The Way You Look Tonight" began. A smile tugged at Phil's lips and he rolled his eyes, laughing.

"Someday, when I'm awfully low, when the world is cold"

"Daaan," Phil groaned. Dan smiled and pulled Phil to the middle of the room, and drew him close.
"Come on, Phil. You love this song," Dan giggled.

"I will feel a glow just thinking of you and the way you look tonight"

"Yeah, yeah, you're right. I do," Phil laughed back at Dan. Phil slipped one of his hands slipped around Dan's waist and the other took Dan's hand. They swayed in perfect unison, slower than the melody called for, around the lounge, past the table and out into the hall. The song had ended about four times, but thinking ahead, Dan had put the song on repeat. They held each other close and could feel each other's hearts racing. Phil buried his face in Dan's neck, while Dan leaned his head on Phil's shoulder. They both hummed along to Frank Sinatra.

"Lovely, never, ever change, keep that breathless charm"

Phil could feel Dan smile and exhale, and Phil smiled in return. Dan never thought he'd meet someone so amazing, let alone fall in love with them. Phil was his sunshine on every rainy day. He was Phil's and Phil was his. Even after six years, Phil's heart still fluttered whenever he and Dan were close like this. They danced all the way into Dan's room, still able to faintly hear Sinatra's voice in the background. Dimly lit, Dan's room was warm and welcoming. Phil could feel himself dosing off to sleep.
"Dan?" Phil whispered.
"Hm?" Dan muttered in response.
"We should probably get to sleep now, don't you think?"
Dan lifted his head from Phil's shoulder. Their eyes were locked, their hands were sweaty, but still tightly gripping one another, and they continued swaying in perfect harmony.

"And that laugh that wrinkles your nose, it touches my foolish heart"

"Maybe later," Dan replied. Smiling, they immediately returned to the way they were. Dan closed his eyes, wishing he could stay like this forever, in moment of eternal bliss. He felt lifted, loved, and actually happy in Phil's arms. However, they were both still incredibly sleepy, as it was now nearing 3:30 AM. Phil pulled away from Dan ever so slightly, only to guide him to his bed and pull back the sheets so he could slide in. Phil walked over to the other side and joined the bed beside him. Reaching an arm around an already fast asleep Dan, he smiled.
"'Cause I love you," he whispered.
