Dan opens his mouth wider and closes his eyes to focus on the high note escaping his mouth and shaking his vocal cords.

When the note is over he stops to take a breath. He then opens his eyes and sees Phil staring at him with wide, amused eyes. "What?" Dan asks.

"Dude, with a voice like that you could get the lead!" Phil gasps, his eyes lighting up.

"I don't want the lead though." Dan leans back into Phil, he was currently sitting on the his lap as they practised for auditions. It was comfortable, but if Phil got to close it made Dan panicky. "I just want a minor part, or a part close to yours." Dan admits, playing with the corner of music in front of him. For once they were at Phil's house and they were cuddled on his couch. Dan's back was pressed against Phil's chest and he could feel his heartbeat and ribs.

"Awe you are so cute I want to kiss you." Phil wraps his arms around Dan's torso and holds him closer if possible. Dan takes in a breath that he knows Dan can feel when his hands are on his stomach.

"Please don't." Dan begs.

"I don't obey orders very well, hence why I am unemployed." Phil runs his nose threw Dan's hair.

"Do you look up flirting tricks along with random facts or are you just a natural flirt?"

"Natural flirt. Admit it you think it's hot." He gently nibbles Dan's ear and the brunette pulls away as he slows his breath. His heart went haywire when he felt Phil's teeth. "Why do you do that?"

"Do what?" Dan asks, putting his fingers around his wrist to check his pulse.

"Slow your breathing at times I'm trying to win you over?" Phil runs his nose behind Dan's ear lightly, he tries to focus on anything but Phil but that doesn't seem to work. His cold nose makes him tingle, even when his nose has moved on from a patch of skin he can still feel where it used to be.

"Its to calm myself." Dan's so glad Phil is behind him. It allows him to hide his red face.

"Are you really that sensitive?" Phil removes his nose from Dan's skin. Even though the brunette can't see him, he knows that Phil has that cheeky smirk spreading across his face like he's won the lottery.

"N-No!" Dan blushes and takes slow breathes. phil knows how to push all of Dan's buttons down. "I just- I just need to calm myself from this affect you put on me." He whispers sheepishly and immediately bites his bottom lip after the words spill out of his mouth. "Y-Your turn, what song are you singing?" He quickly changes the subject before Phil has anything else to say about the topic.

"Wait for it from Hamilton." Phil grabs his papers from backpack and pulls them out in front of Dan.

"Hamilton? Isn't that that dude from American history?"

"I think you mean the ten dollar founding father without a father." Phil quotes as Dan looks at his with his eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

"Since when did you listen to stuff about American history?"

"Since it became an amazing play with rap and pop music incorporated into the music along with voices of angels. Besides it has King George III in it so it has some of our country's history as well." Phil explains with a smile. Without looking at Phil Dan can tell he's really passionate about this song from the way his voice e feels light. "That's not the point though. I'm going to sing this and you tell me if it's good." He rests his head on the brunette's shoulder and starts to sing the words on the sheet before him. Dan listens intently and taps his fingers to the rhythm against Phil's legs that were on either side of him. He felt happy with Phil behind him, his warmth filling Dan's insides and making butterflies start to fly around his stomach.
