Dan paced around the kitchen, waiting for Phil to wake up. As soon as he heard Phil's door open, he rushed out of the kitchen and into the hallway. Phil stood in the middle, rubbing his eyes and putting his glasses on his face.

"Morning.." Phil grumbled.

"Hey." Dan said back, Phil walking towards him. Dan backed up, allowing Phil to walk into the kitchen.

Phil stopped, silent for a moment. "You made me breakfast..?"

"Yes." Dan said, sitting down at the dining table. Dan heard Phil pick up the plate and fork and walk into the dining room.

"How'd you know I like pancakes..?" Phil asked.

Dan shrugged. "I know these kinds of things." Phil set the plate down, sitting across from Dan.

"Well, thanks." Phil said, cutting into the stack with his fork and taking a small bite. He chewed for a bit, swallowing soon after.

"Phil?" Dan started.

"Mhm?" Phil grunted back, taking another bite of the stack.

Dan scratched the back of his neck. "You do know that what happened last night was totally fine, right?"

Phil stopped for a moment. "Is it really?"

"Yes, of course. You were just reminiscing about your past and got caught up in the moment..." Dan said softly. "It was kind of nice, too." Dan admitted, saying it quieter than the rest of the sentence.

Phil paused again, gently setting the fork down as he looked up at Dan. "You.. liked it?"

Dan put his head down, not letting Phil see the slight blush on his face. "A little bit, yes. I haven't had any romantic contact like that for quite a while so it was nice to.. I don't know.. Relish in it."

Phil stiffled out a chuckle. "You said you didn't have feelings like that towards people, yet here you are admitting to me that you liked the way I kissed you?"

"I'd rather not be reminded of how embarrassing this is for me." Dan muttered, standing up. "Do you have work today?"

"Yeah. I'll have to get ready soon." Phil responded.

"Alright." Dan turned around, walking towards the sofas. He looked out the window, snow still covering the ground though it wasn't snowing anymore.

He listened as Phil finished his food, getting up from the table and putting his dishes in the sink.

"I'm gonna go get dressed." Phil said.

"Cool." Dan replied, keeping his eyes glued to the outside. It didn't take Phil long to get dressed, taking approximately 5 minutes to get dressed.

"Is the snow that fascinating?" Phil asked with a small laugh.

Dan turned around, looking Phil up and down. Phil wore a shirt with a giant lion on the front, a galaxy jacket, black jeans and some blue trainers. His hair was combed to the side as usual, glasses on his face slightly askew, and an over-the-shoulder bag strung across his left shoulder. "Not really. I was just waiting for you."

"Why? I hope you don't think you're coming with me to work." Phil said with a smile. Dan walked towards him.

"Have I went over what to do if you're in a dangerous situation?" Dan asked, his eyes sightly squinted and head tilted.

Phil gave Dan a weird look. "What are you, my mum?"

Dan grabbed Phil by his jacket, staring intensly into his eyes. "If you are in a life or death situation, or any kind of dangerous situation, you call me. Not on a cellphone or anything, just  out for me to come get you. I promise you that I'll be there as soon as I can be."
