Your POV:
I open my eyes, and lift my head off of Dan's chest. I start to get up but his arms tighten their grip.

"Danny boy, let go" I smile, attempting to remove his arms.

"Don't get up" he whines sleepily.

"I'm hungry" I complain. He sighs and releases me. I stand and begin to walk to the kitchen, where, unfortunately, I trip over Pj sleeping on the floor.

I fall to the carpet and lay there in defeat.

"(Y/N)!" Dan screams. Rushes over to me. "Oh my god are you okay!?" He asks helping me up.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I mumble rubbing my head. He pulls me in for a tight embrace. I attempt to pull away but he still has me tight in his arms.

"Dan, seriously, I'm fine. You can let go now" I mumble. Dan awkwardly coughs and I help a tired Pj up.

"Sorry for that rude awakening, are you okay?" I chuckle.

"It's okay, I'm fine" he grins. Dan grabs my hand and drags me to the kitchen.

"You said you were hungry?" He says a bit agitatedly.

"Dan are you alright?" I ask him.

"Yeah. Why?" He asks changing his tone.

"You sounded upset" I reply, earning a weird look from Dan. "You know what?" I continue, "Never mind". Dan shrugs and returns to cooking bacon and eggs.

"Should I go wake up Phil?" I ask as he plates the dishes.

"Umm... I guess" he mumbles. I nod and knock on Phil's door and get no response. I enter the room to find him sleeping peacefully.

"Hey Philly? Wake up! Dan made breakfast" I whisper, gently shaking him awake. He takes a second to open his eyes, and I hand him his glasses.

"Good morning, (Y/N)" he yawns, throwing on his t-shirt.

"Morning! I'm going to go back to the kitchen to eat. I'm famished" I chuckle. "Meet us in there when you can" I add, exiting his room.

"Is he coming?" Dan inquires, handing me my plate. I nod my head then ask, "Where's Pj?". Dan's smile seemed to dim a bit, but then he answered.

"He's fixing his hair, like I should do" he mumbles the last part.

"Shut up I love the way your hair looks in the mornings!" I laugh, running my hand through it, then ruffling it up.

"Well, if you like it, I'll keep it for a bit" he rolls his eyes.

"Thanks. Peasant" I whisper the last part. He clears his throat.

"What was that (Y/N)?" he asks with a smirk, slowly getting up and walking over to me.

"N-nothing" I smile, than in a swift motion, stand up and take off.

"You get your sweet *ss back here (Y/N), you cheeky sh*t" Dan laughs, chasing after me. I stay away for a bit, but he soon catches up, picking me up bridal style.

"Put me down Howell!" I demand.

"I don't think I will" he smirks.

"Please?" I beg.

"Fine" he says, leading me to the couch and throwing me down. Oh god he's going to tickle me.

"Don't you f*cking dare Dan" I warn as he pins me down. He starts tickling my sides.

"Too late!" He laughs. Eventually he stopped, but didn't get off of me.

"I hate you" I huff.

"You loooooooove me" he grins.

"I know" I smile back. Then he leans in and our lips meet. He licks my bottom lip, asking for entrance, to which I allowed. Then our tongues began to battle for dominance. He pulled away when Phil knocked at the door.

"Oh gosh. I'm sorry guys" he said, attempting to sound genuine but something was off, "we thought we would find you since your food was getting cold".

"We?" I ask, turning my head to face Phil.

"Oh I'm here too" Pj greeted, appearing at the doorframe.

"Oh. Um... we'll be down in a second" Dan muttered somewhat bitterly. They both nodded and scurried off. Dan sighed, and then climbed off of me. I sit up and lean my head on his shoulder.

"Do you want to go eat?" He asks after snapping out of his deep thoughts.

"Sure" I smile and take his hand in mine. We walk down to the kitchen and finish our cold food, but being lazy, did not reheat it.

The rest of the morning goes by quick, due to playing video games, until Pj has to leave to work on a video.

"Bye Pj!" I wave, "Be sure to text me which marker brand you get!"

"Will do! Bye (Y/N)!" He smiles. "Bye Dan! Bye Phil!".

"Bye Pj" they say in unison.

"I'm going to go film a video" I wave to the two boys by the door. "I'll be in my room if you need me!" I call, walking into my room.

I hop onto Steam (a game launcher if you don't know) and pick one of my games I've been saving for a video.

"Hey all you surfers of the web! Today we will be playing..."

Phil's POV:

(Y/N) goes to her room and I go to mine. I change into everyday clothes and collapse on my bed in deep thought.

Why did I knock on the door? I knew that they were making out. Dan sounded annoyed, and I don't think they bought my apology. What if they put two and two together? What have you got yourself into Philly? I mean Phil. Gosh this girl has gotten to me.

Eventually, I feel my eyelids get heavy, and let sleep takeover, temporarily ridding myself of stress.

Dan's POV:

Something is NOT right here. I could just be jealous, that is the kind of person I am, I admit.

I know Phil and Pj would never try anything to come between (Y/N) and I. Phil is my best friend for God's sake.

It's just that I love her so much, the smallest of threats, the tiniest of things that could take her away, scare me terribly.

I just can't help it.
