We are the ghouls of London // PHAN

•CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN•

Entering the Lester household was rather calming to Dan. It felt like such a whole less hectic environment to belong in compared to the ward he had been forced to stay in over night, with Nurse Deyes' eagle like eyes watching his every move and breathe.

As soon as his foot set on the Welcome mat located the other side of the front door, Adrian was already hugging Dan round his middle. With Phil waiting patiently behind Dan so he too could get into his own home, Dan lifted Adrian up into his arms and carried him into the living room, placing Adrian on his knee after he sat on the sofa which sank under the extra weight of Adrian on top of his own.

"I was scared Dan!" Adrian spoke, crossing his arms, "I thought you were dead again!"

"Again? I haven't died once," Dan questioned with a smile.

"Oh ... I thought you died last time you were in hospital..." Adrian frowned, "That was what the doctor told me and mommy."

"Close to death," Dan re-alliterated, "I almost died."

"Oh..." Adrian giggled, "But I was scared about you."

Phil came into the room after removing his jacket and sat down next to Dan, leaning his head upon his boyfriends shoulder. He didn't say anything, because right now, Dan was busy talking to his younger brother. And besides, actions sometimes had the tendency to speak louder than words, like Phil's moms kindness and smiles did.

"HEY PHIL!"  Adrian waved his hand in front of Phil's face, "HEY PHIL!"

"Hey Adrian!" Phil greeted back, waving his hand in Adrian's direction. He then bopped him on the nose lightly with his finger, sending Adrian into a fit of giggles.

"Look what you've done Phil! We'll never be able to shut him up now!" Dan teased at Phil as he looked at his brother with disbelief as he wriggled around in Dans lap due to getting the giggles.

Watching Adrian be happy like this really made Dan question if he and his brother should go back to his moms house. She didn't help with Richard, so why would a trip to Australia suddenly transform her? She wasn't a phone. You couldn't just reset her entirely to be a new person. People weren't like that.

Dan looked towards Phil. His head was rested on his shoulder, his hair had flopped to the side messily and eyes closed. His mouth was open slightly; he was fast asleep and Dan guessed it had been a lack of sleep the previous night because of Dan being in hospital.

Adrian looked at where Dan was looking at Phil, "He looks like he's dead."

"What's with your obsession with everyone being dead lately?" Dan asked as he chuckled.

With a shrug, Adrian jumped off of Dan's lap and lay on the soft white rug in front of the sofa, allowing Dan to wrap his left arm around his sleeping boyfriend and pull him in close, "DAN! I'm hungry!!"

"You're always hungry..."

"DAN!"

"I'll need to go by the station to drop off a couple things so do you want to come with me Adrian? We can go get frozen yogurt from Yorica! afterwards if you want?" Lee was pulling on a jacket over his body as he looked towards Adrian.

Adrian jumped up, "YEAH!"

"And what about you Dan? Do you want to come?"

Dan looked at Phil who was still asleep, "I think I'll stay here... besides, I'm not in the mood for frozen yogurt."

Unless it was made with human blood... then i'd be interested...
