Dan lays beside Phil's restless body, small snores escaping his lips making Dan smile fondly at his friend, who was meant to be awake watching movies in Phil's room with him but instead Phil fell asleep with his arm across Dan's stomach and his head pressed against his chest. Dan didn't seem to be complaining though.

Dan sighs and runs his fingers through Phil's thin, jet black hair. He wondered what had been on Phil's mind recently, he wasn't acting like his usual upbeat, cheerful self. Dan hoped he was okay, he hated seeing Phil sad, really he hated seeing anyone sad, but he knows that Phil deserves so much better. Phil is nothing but kind to everybody, he goes out of his way to make people happy. He's so underappriciated yet never complains about any of it, Dan wished he had someone who could make him as happy as he made everyone else.

Dan feels his eyes start to get droopy, he lets out a yawn and pulls Phil closer.

"I love you" Dan says, he had been dying to say that for months. He just didn't have the courage to tell Phil when he would actually hear him.

Phil quickly sits up and stares down at Dan with wide eyes and a smile on his face, "You what?!"

Turns out he wasn't really sleeping.

"I-I thought you were asleep!" Dan stammers, averting his eyes from Phil's, he couldn't look at him after what he had just said. He didn't want to face the disappointment.

"Did you really just tell me you love me? Or is this just a very realistic dream?" Phil says, Dan can tell he's still smiling even though he's staring at the TV, pretending to watch the movie.

"I said-- you know what, it doesn't matter. It was nothing. Just, go back to sleep." Dan stands up and starts to head for the door

"Dan, please don't do this, please don't go." Phil says

Dan hesitates and places his hand on the doorframe, this could be it. He could finally tell Phil how he really feels and date the boy he's wanted for years;

or he could leave, walk out of the door, make everything awkward and continue ignoring his feelings.

"Did you mean it? Do you really love me?"

Dan lets out a long, shaky sigh;

"Of course I love you! I thought I made it so obvious but it's been 8 fucking years now and you still haven't noticed and its killing me, Phil!" Dan's eyes well up with tears "I know you don't feel the same, and god why would you even like me? I'm just Dan, boring old Dan with dull brown hair and dull brown eyes, there's nothing special about me! Besides, we're just friends."

Phil stands up from his bed and walks over to Dan, wrapping his arms around him, giving him the tightest possible hug.

He pulls back so he can see Dan, who's shaking and trying to calm down from crying.

"You know, I think your eyes are beautiful." Phil smiles and leans in to place a soft, gentle kiss on Dan's lips.

It takes Dan a moment to respond, but when he finally does it feels like he's on top of the world, nothing else matters but this moment.

They lay back down in Phil's bed together, both smiling wider than they ever have before.

"Hey Dan?" Phil says quietly

"Hmm?" Dan says, half asleep

"I love you, too"

And with that, they fall asleep in each others arms after a night they never want to forget.
