'Holy shit. What am I gonna wear? I'm supposed to be at Dan's flat in an hour for a movie night, but I don't even know what to wear. What the fuck do you even wear to a movie night? Ok I know, I'll just google it!'

This is my thought process while I'm getting ready to potentially stay overnight at Dan's house. I mean come on, movie night? We will be watching movies until who knows how late. Dan's a nice guy, I don't think he'd make me drive home in such early hours of the morning.

Once the contents of my dresser is sprayed across the entirety of my room, I put on a pair of dark grey leggings and an oversized black hoodie. By now, I should be leaving any minutes in order to make it on time so I throw a brush through my hair and head to the door. In my bag, I have some Maltesers for Dan, since he always mentions how much he loves them, and my makeup bag to do any touch-ups while I'm there. I slip on my shoes and head out the door to my car. Dan's flat was far away from where I live, nearly a 20 minute drive in rush hour. It was 7:00 pm so I should be there on time. While driving, I couldn't stop myself from checking myself in the mirror every minute. Am I overdressed? What about my makeup should I have even put any on? Pushing the thoughts out of my mind, I make my way to Dan's flat.

Walking up the stairs to Dan's flat was excruciatingly nerve wracking to say the least. Phil was out of town visiting family, so even though he would be missed, I'm glad to finally have some alone time with Dan. My insane crush on him was not well disguised but our friendship is the same nonetheless. I knock on his door and await for an answer. As I'm about to knock again, the door swings open, revealing a smiling Dan behind it.

"Hey Y/n!"

"Hey Dan, I've missed you!"

I lean in to hug him and his warm arms wrap around my waist, squeezing me into a friendly embrace. Him and Phil had just recently got back from TATINOF and I haven't been able to see them in a long time, so seeing him took a huge weight off of my shoulders.

"So what are we watching?" I ask, allowing myself in. I dig through my purse and pull out the bag of Maltesers.

"Brought you a gift." I smile, throwing the bag to him, which he catches.

"Wow, thanks! I was thinking we could binge through The Hunger Game series. What do you say?"

"Sounds great, I haven't seen any of them before." I admit.

"Neither have I." Dan replies. I raise my eyebrows, shocked that he hadn't watched it with Phil, but carry on and remove my coat and shoes.

As I make my way through the flat, I notice the smell of popcorn. I walk into the the living room followed by Dan, and on the table is a huge bowl of popcorn, with bottles of soda and different candies.

"Oh my god, this is awesome!" I say excitedly, throwing a piece of popcorn in my mouth.

"Yeah I thought you'd like it. With Phil not here I was actually able to have all this stuff here without it being eaten before you got here." We both laugh and I sit down while he puts the movie in. Dan flicks off the lights and sits down next to me, like, directly next to me. I can literally feel the warmth radiating off of his body, and I move a bit closer to steal some of it. It's January and in London it gets chilly outside. Dan notices my shiver, and grabs the throw that was on the edge of the couch.

"Cold?" He asks me.

"A bit, yeah." I say, turning to look at him. His big brown eyes are latched onto my e/c ones. I lay the throw over me, and relax into the couch, chewing on the popcorn Dan had made.

Two and a half movies later, it was getting late and I was getting tired. Dan had lazily put his arm behind me a while ago, and my head was rested into his shoulder. We hadn't said much to each other, practically engulfed by the film, but occasionally we would gasp or shift awkwardly during a kissing scene. I fell asleep fast to the sweet smell of him. I awoke hours later in an unfamiliar bed. After fully waking up, I look around to see that I'm alone in Dan's room. The sun was dimly shining through the window, the clock on my phone read 8:30am. Hopping out of his bed, I begin to wonder how I got there. Did Dan wake me up? Did he carry me? I blush slightly at the thoughts, but shake my head lightly as if to rid myself of any trace of them.

I make my way to the living room, to find Dan asleep on the couch, wrapped up in the same throw from last night. I walk over to him and sit down on the edge of the couch, shaking his shoulder lightly to wake him.

"Dan." I whisper. He looked adorable sleeping.

"Dan, wake up." His eyes flutter open and he makes a '5 more minutes' grunting sound.

"Morning, Y/n."

"When did I fall asleep?"

"Late. I carried you to bed, I hope that's okay." He says, fixing his hair.

"Yeah of course it is. Thank you, but I could have slept on the couch, you didn't need to give up your bed."

"No it's alright, I don't mind." He replies. We stare at each other for a moment, then I stand up to go get some cereal, but I am pulled back down by Dan's hand, he encourages my body into a laying position. I comply and lay down and he gently puts the throw over me as well. We are basically cuddling now, I'm facing him with my head rested in the crook of his neck, and his arm is gently being ran through my hair. I didn't object to his behaviour, we acted like a couple sometimes, but we've never been together.

"Can I confess something?" Dan speaks up.

"Yes." I reply.

"I think I love you." Dan says. I raise my head to face him, I'm about to say it back, but my actions beat my words to the finish line and I attach my lips to his. He immediately kisses back and our lips dance together. His hand brushes up my hair and I place mine on his cheek. I pull away for a moment, but he leans forward and places his lips back onto mine for another kiss. Finally we pull away, both of us out of breath, and I pull him into an embrace.

"I love you too, Dan."
