Violins And Cookies (Phan AU)

The One With The Parents

Dan almost didn't expect Phil to show up first thing in the morning with a big smile on his face.

"We have to go today, right?" Phil asked.

Dan nodded.

"I'll just get my bags"

"Okay," Phil said.

Dan went in to get his small duffel bag with just enough clothes for 3 days before he went out to find Phil who was at the doorstep.

They took a taxi to the station and neither of them really talked much.

After reaching the station they got into their train and by the time the train had started Phil had already fallen asleep on Dan's shoulder. He looked peaceful Dan thought as he flicked off a few strands of hair off of Phil's forehead and continued reading his book.

They reached pretty soon and Phil had been asleep throughout the whole train ride so Dan had to gently shake him up.

"We're here," he said.

Phil opened his eyes looking confused as Dan grabbed their bags and helped him up.

"Did I fall asleep?"

"Yeah,"

Phil didn't say anything as they made their way to another cab to get to Dan's house.

"I am really nervous," Phil said.

"Why?"

"Because I am meeting your parents"

"Don't be they are pretty nice"

"But..."

"They will love you," Dan said reaching over to lightly almost hesitantly squeezing Phil's hands.

He was glad when Phil let him hold his hand for the rest of the ride.

When they reached home Phil took out their bags and they walked to the door. Dan rang the doorbell and instantly felt Phil squeezing his hand. Dan couldn't help but smile as the door opened to reveal his mum as smiling as ever as she hugged him.

Dan's hands were still linked to Phil's and soon his mum broke away from the hug.

"So mum this is Phil," Dan said as Phil smiled at his mum who hugged him.

"Hi Mrs. Howell," Phil said.

"Oh just call me Jane" Dan's mum smiled.

"Okay Jane"

"You both look so lovely together," his mum said with a big smile on her face. "Come on in now"

They walked in and were soon greeted by Dan's dad who also went in to hug both of them.

Dan couldn't help but smile at how his family was warming up to Phil already and for once he let his worries slide away as he settled himself on the sofa along with the rest of his family as now Blake had joined him too with a mug of hot chocolate.

He saw Phil and Blake talk to each other animatedly about something as Dan talked to his parents.

He was so happy that everything was going so well.

"Come on everyone dinner's ready," his dad said after a while and they all went into the kitchen as his dad laid out the table.

Phil sat down next to Dan and Blake had gone upstairs and for the first, since they came here they were all alone.

"So do you like them?" Dan asked.

"Your parents are really lovely," Phil said.

Dan grinned.

"Do you think they like me?" Phil asked.

"They love you trust me"

Phil smiled as well as Dan's mum returned with some food.

Soon they sat down together and ate dinner as the conversation kept flowing with ease. To Dan, it almost looked like Phil was his parents' third son as they talked to him about his bakery and how his mum asked him tips about making cookies as hers never turned out the ways she wanted them to.

Phil looked happy answering their questions and promising Dan's mum a baking lesson the next afternoon.

After dinner was over they went back to the living room as Phil brought out the cookies he had brought for them.

Everyone was all praises and Phil looked very happy and satisfied with himself.

With full bellies, everyone made ways to their bedrooms when Dan's mum stopped him.

"Yes mum," Dan said.

His mum hugged him.

"I am so glad that you met Phil honey. He is a lovely person"

"Yeah, he is" Dan smiled.

"And he really does love you"

Dan nodded unsure and even though the day had been so amazing he was very unsure of their relationship and what would happen once they went back to London.

Dan just smiled.

"Its, late mum you should sleep"

"Yeah you too goodnight"

"Goodnight," Dan said as he went to his bedroom that he was sharing with Phil tonight.

His parents had offered the guest room but Phil had declined probably because it would be weird if he slept in another room.

With a deep breath, he opened the door to find Phil on his laptop,

He smiled at Dan who smiled back and went to find his pajamas because there was no way he could sleep in his skinny jeans even if that meant he had to change in front of Phil.

Dan changed quickly and got on the bed sliding under the warm duvet.

Phil soon shut his laptop down.

It had been weeks since they had slept together and Dan would be lying if he told he wasn't nervous as Phil slid next to him. Dan turned around so he could face the other way but he was stopped by Phil who grabbed Dan's hand holding it and looking into Dan's eyes.

Phil kissed Dan.

Dan had missed it so bad. The feel of Phil's soft lips on his as gentle as ever as he kissed him one hand holding Dan's hand the other right under his chin.

When they stopped Dan was more disappointed than he should have been but it faded as Phil pressed his lips on Dan's forehead.

"Night Dan"

"Good night" Dan mumbled as Phil threw an arm around Dan's waist pulling him closer. Dan closed his eyes deciding to just go along with it.

The questions can wait.
