Boys This Young

1|Remember Us

"You have to finish school first," Phil said, tracing patterns on his boyfriends arm as they lay on his couch watching Stranger Things, "Once you're finished with school, you can live with me, Dan."

Dan sighed loudly, "But I don't like college, I like it here with you."

Phil shook his head, "But if you don't go, what are you going to do? Who are you going to be?"

"Phil Lester's boyfriend," Dan smiled, "And I like being that more than anything."

"Dan, you can't stay in that mind set forever, you have to think about your future," Phil said.

"No," Dan pouted, "Can we talk about this later? I just want to watch this and lay here with you."

Phil nodded, kissing his boyfriend on the head to show him that everything was alright, "Okay, but I want you to be happy...not stuck."

"I am happy," Dan said, "Just not in college."

"Daaaaaaaaaaaaan," Phil said, "We have to talk about it then!"

"Phiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil," Dan mocked, "I don't want to!"

"I hate you," Phil said, pushing him slightly and rolling his eyes.

"Well, you're an ugly poop face, and I don't like you," Dan said.

Phil gasped, "Take it back."

"Nope," Dan said cheekily.

"Take it back or the worst hell will be brought down upon you," Phil threatened, but he was smiling.

"Do your worst, Lester," Dan dared.

"Well then I'll just call him in," Phil said.

"Who?" Dan asked.

"The tickle monster!" Phil shouted, causing fear to strike Dan's heart at the name, as it had for so many years. Not the tickle monster. Phil attacked his sides with his fingers, causing Dan to laugh uncontrollably, squirming as he tried to escape.

"Please, stop!" Dan cried, laughing harder, "I'm so...sorry!" He fell off the couch trying to leave the torture, but Phil only followed suit.

"Surrender, Danny," Phil taunted, as tears filled Dan's joyous eyes, "Surrender to your worst enemy."

"Okay, okay, I surrender!" Dan called, laughing to the point where he was in pain. Phil stopped tickling him, grinning amusedly down at him. Dan was out of breath on the floor now, wiping tears away from his eyes, "I hate you so much, fuck you."

Phil laughed, "Not right now, buddy."

Dan looked up at him irritably from his spot on the carpet, recovering slowly from his defeat. Phil smiled at him gently, his shimmering eyes winning Dan's heart all over again.

"Stupid blue eyed beast," Dan said, "I hate you, and your eyes. Fuck the color blue!"

"Really?" Phil said, grinning slyly as he kissed him quickly because he couldn't resist, "I thought blue was your favorite color?"

Dan rolled his eyes, "That is so last book, Phil."

Phil laughed, pulling him up off of the floor, "Well, then we better make a new line."

Dan looked over at him, concentrating on all of his features carefully, "Hey, Phil?" Dan said.

"What?"

"I lied, black is my favorite color. Not because of you or anything, it just is."

"Wow...thanks?"

Dan smiled, "I'm kidding, you dingus. You're my favorite everything."

"Yeah, yeah, Cheesy McCheeserson, you're my favorite everything too."
