(Dan's pov)

I sat on the train as it sped along, my hands shaking in my lap. It had been so long since I'd seen Phil and I still couldn't believe he'd invited to come visit him. When he'd messaged me that I'd almost had a heart attack. I'd been missing him for so long... now I finally get to see him.
I wonder if he'll look any different...
I shook my head and smiled. I was just being silly. I just could not wait to see him. I looked at the small present poking out of my backpack.
I wonder if he'll like it...
Why was I so worried? It was just Phil. He was awesome. He'd understand me. The train jolted to a stop and I fell forward into the seat in front of me and the lady sitting in it turned around and frowned at me. I blushed and waved sheepishly at her. I stood and pulled my duffle bag onto my shoulder and walked towards the doors. The train station was so busy and I panicked for a second, worried I wouldn't find Phil. But then I saw him. He was holding a sign with my name on it and he was watching the train excitedly. I felt my eyes prick with tears and I started to run towards him. I slammed into him and wrapped my arms around him, the tears coming fast and hot down my cheeks.
We lay tangled on the floor of the train station and I felt him hug me tightly.
We just lay there hugging for a while. I finally sat up, brushing the tears from my eyes.
"I missed you too Dan Howell."
Phil smiled hugely at me and ruffled my hair gently. I smiled at him and nodded.

(Phil's pov)

I missed him so much. And when I felt him hug me I felt like I was whole again. When we finally let go I spoke to him for the first time in three years.
"I missed you too Dan Howell."
He smiled at me and I felt my heart melt. He suddenly reached into his bag and pulled out a small box. I took it gingerly and smiled happily at him.
"You didn't have to get me anything silly."
He smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck. I shook my head and carefully opened it. A small stuffed bear looked up at me and I let our a soft cry, my hands flying to my mouth. Dan looked worried and he knit his brows.
"D do you like it?"
I felt the tears flow down my face and I threw my arms around his neck.
"I love it."
