To love a lion

Chapter three

Dan tried his hardest to think of a way out even if a small part of him really wanted to do this. Phil coughed nervously and sniffed a couple times reminding the voice in his head to shut up and not be excited. "Should we get it over with then?" Dan said coughing like crazy as he gripped his shirt. Phil pursed his lips, "Mhm." he squeaked biting his lip. Dan leaned in and as casually as he could put an arm around Phil, "My subscribers owe me big time, and I hate you all." he said with a laugh before meeting his lips to a beet red Phil. As soon as he did he could feel the fireworks exploding off in the distance ignoring them as much as he could. Phil kissed back but it was obvious that he was to caught up in nerves to enjoy anything. Soon Dan was pushing harder against him, not meaning to as he tried hard to ignore the tension. It wasn't soon after he felt Phil slipping away from his grip on his waist and could feel the loss of touch on his neck as Phil began tumbling backwards out of the computer chair and landing with a thud on the ground.

Dan tried his best to suppress a laugh as he blushed knowing it was all his fault, (and wouldn't go un-noticed by ALL of the subscribers. ) he put a hand out for Phil. "Sorry." he said pulling him upwards. Phil did his best to respond but all that came was a squeak. When Phil was returned they wiped off their lips harshly. "Right then. I think we're done." Dan said switching off the camera, his face far to red to say it didn't mean a thing.

** HOURS LATER***

Phil sat on the opposite end of the couch fiddling with his fingers as Dan sat on the other end doing about the same except with a computer on his lap. He looked at the screen from time to time pretend to do work, he didn't get much done though. His mind was to crowded, it's like a large cloud had picked up his brain and replaced it with worries and awkwardness. Phil could hear Dan's phone going off but when he looked to Dan it was obvious he hadn't heard it. "Erhm your phone is... Ringing." he said still feeling awkward. Dan looked at him quickly, blushed, and turned to his phone. "Hello?" he said when he answered. Phil could hear a voice on the other end, probably Chris, Phil guessed. "Ehm Yeah we'll be there just let me tell Phil." Dan said before ending the call. "What was that?" Phil said after a minute. "Uhm big party and Chris's." he said looking at Phil who had turned pale. "Oh I'm not gonna go." he said looking at his sweaty palms. "Why? Is it cos of.. Uhm ya know the THING." Dan said acting like an eight year old and avoiding the name. "No. That was nothing like not real... I just don't know uhm. Well don't tell anyone." Phil said slowly lying about IT not meaning anything. "Promise." Dan said referring to what Phil said about not telling anyone. "I can't.. I don't- Uhm. I can't dance." he said slowly.

Dan's expression changed quickly, "I could teach you!" he said smiling and then regretting it. After the THING he had, had an hour on the couch both sitting in silence, awkwardly, to think about what he felt. He had confessed it to himself, finally, what he had known for years now, he loved Phil. Yup that's right he Daniel James Howell was completely and utterly in love with Phillip Micheal Lester and he didn't care who knew it! "Okay." Phil said breaking into Dan's thoughts. "Okay." Dan replied laughing aloud and punching himself in the head. 'idiot.' he thought to himself.

Dan stood up and offered a hand to Phil, "May I have this dance?"

OKAY! Well I have been rather lazy, and this chapter was COMPLEATLY done by the user johnlocker02! So I also dedicated this chapter to her!
