Dan can't help it. It's been such a bad habit he's had since he's moved in with Phil. It's 5 am and he hasn't had a bit of sleep. He knows he's going to regret it but he can't stop one he starts binge watching, it doesn't matter if it's an anime or if he's rewatching American horror story for the third time, Dan stays up countless nights snacking and obsessing over these fictional characters.
"God Evan just gets hotter every time I watch this doesn't he?" Dan thinks to himself. He pauses as he hears some shuffling from a few rooms down.
" It's just Phil tossing around in his bed. He's not up yet it's too early."
Then a loud thump breaks Dan's train of thought. Dan stays still before he runs to Phil's room.
Phil's on the floor, sound asleep.
Dan can't help but chuckle. What a dork. He tries to wake him up but he just swats his hands away. Dan has no choice but to carry him back on the bed. "Jesus Christ Phil can't you sleep like an adult at least." Phil wakes up at the sound of Dan's voice. "What's going on?", he says in a groggy tone. " You fell off the bed,idiot." Dan says slightly annoyed but amused.
Phil climbs on his bed and pats the other side of it. "Come lay with me. I know you aren't sleeping." Dan thinks about it. It's not like they're gonna cuddle. It's just a friendly gesture. No harm no foul. And definitely no homo. Dan lays next to Phil and memories flood in of his teen years. Dan can't help but feel warm and drowsy. His breathing slows and all is calm. It's so silent he can hear the beat of his own heart. Dan turns on his side and then a hand lays on his hip and a soft breath brushes his back. Usually he would go to his room by now but he doesn't feel like moving from his spot tonight. Phil's breath is comforting. Slow and stable. His heart at the same pace as Dan's. And for tonight, everything is fine.
