Christmas Day. It was finally here.

However, it wasn't Dan who woke himself up. In the double bed he was snuggled in with his boyfriends comforting arms wrapped around him, there was someone jumping on his bed...

And there could only be one person who would be willing to do so...

"DAN! DAN WAKE UP IT'S CHRISTMAS! WAKE UP! PHIL! WAKE UP!"

"Adrian..." Dan groaned as he moved in Phil's grip, "Go back to bed..."

"BUT DAN! ITS CHRISTMAS!!!"

"Please Adrian leave me alone..."

"You spoilt sport Dan," Phil laughed as he sat up, "Come on lets go open some gifts."

"YAY!" Adrian cried.

Downstairs, Phil's dad sat scrolling on his phone. Once however he heard the boys come down the stairs, he put the phone down and offered a smile in their direction, "Happy Christmas," he smiled.

"Thanks dad," Phil smiled as he went over and hugged his dad, Dan and Adrian staying where they was, both secretly wishing they could hug their mom or, even better, their dad.

Phil's presents was on a sofa and so where Dan's and Adrian's. The boys opened the presents happily, Dan getting a new laptop from Phil's dad, something he wasn't expecting at all, and from Phil he was given a new game for the laptop; undertale. Dan had always fantasised on owning both a new laptop and the game undertale and now he had it in his possession, he was speechless.

Phil smiled as he tore the wrapping paper off of Dan's gift and saw the new muse album now located in his hands, "You actually got it me?"

Dan smiled towards Phil, "Of course I did. You said you wanted it so I got it you."

"That's so sweet Dan... thank you."

Lee stood up and walked into the kitchen to finish up the christmas dinner which Dan could smell. He kept in his head what Connor had told him. Pretend to eat the food but then after the meal go throw it up immediately. Dan felt bad knowing he was wasting the food Lee was cooking for him to eat but pushed that thought away from his head.

The songs from Muse's new album began to play out from the radio by Dan's head and Dan watched as his little brother, yet again, began to dance to the tunes playing. Dan smiled with Adrian closing his eyes and dancing, almost tripping over the wrapping paper on the floor multiple times.

Phil giggled as he tried to pull Dan up, "Dance?"

"Not again. Never again," Dan admitted, crossing his arms, "Instead I am installing Undertale on my new laptop."

Phil sank down next to Dan on the floor, "Here let me help you."

"BOYS! DINNER!"

The moment Dan had dreaded about the day; having to eat the food forcefully just so he didn't look suspicious.

Dan gave himself a mini prep talk as he sat down opposite Adrian who was already eating eagerly at the pigs-in-blankets displayed neatly on the plate. Under the table, Dan blushed as he felt Phil squeeze his hand. Dan squeezed back due before turning back to the food.

He put a carrot in his mouth and squeezed his eyes tight shut as he ate it slowly, the taste being incredibly horrific, almost unbearable. Dan had to keep going though.

Keep going...

Somehow Dan managed to make it through the entirety of the meal and as soon as Les began to gather up the plates, Dan ran upstairs and began to force himself to puke. Phil was almost immediately at his side, kissing his hair and rubbing his back, telling him Dan had done well at the table just then and he was proud of him.

"Thanks..." Dan breathed as he gripped the seat of the toiler for support as his head leaked with sweat furiously.

"You go to bed for a bit Dan, till you feel any better. I'll go make you some coffee," Phil comforted before guiding Dan to bed and leaving.

The duvet was cold against Dan's warm skin as Dan snuggled down into it. And despite it only being 4 in the afternoon, Dan soon felt himself drift into a deep sleep.
