They were at Louises house, Dan was laughing with his head thrown back, Phil was sitting next to him, his arm loosely draped around his boyfriend. The Christmas tree was cascading lights onto Dan's face. Phil thought he was beautiful. He pressed a chaste kiss to his cheek before moving to the kitchen to grab himself a drink. Dan followed swiftly, being insanely clingy this evening.
"Guys look up", Chris said with a chuckle.
They looked up at the same time and giggled like 2 teenagers in love, while Dan still looked up at the mistletoe that was hanging above them, Phil slowly cupped his cheek. They kissed softly and looked into each other's eyes. "I love you", Dan whispered.
"Time for presents", Louise yelled from the living room.
They gave Louises present first, a Chanel perfume, a lush gift set and a new beautiful planner. It wasn't much but she looked like she appreciated it.
Next was Pj, they got him some books he was raving on about, a new board game and some new headphones.
Chris was last, they gave him a new camera, he had been talking about it since forever so the four of them went out and bought one. The look on his face was priceless.
They gave cookie tins to the people they didn't know that well.
Dan received a new wallet, some scented candles, tons of chocolate, and a Yeezy sweater. "You'll get the rest of your presents at home", Phil has whispered.
Phil got scented candles as well, a new house plant, some bath bombs and a fuzzy blanket.
Dan crawled closer to Phil after thanking everyone again and again. He settled against his chest and drank from his hot chocolate with a big grin on his face. Phil could feel his heart grow 3 sizes, so hopelessly in love with this man.
At around 1am, they left the Pentland household, they decided on calling a Uber considering both of them had one too many glasses. As Phil was half asleep, Dan wandered off, just as Phil was about to ask where he was going, he saw a white speck flying his way before feeling a freezing cold on his face. "Oh it's on Howell", he screeched before attacking him.
The ride home was filled with giggles as the driver looked at them as if they were a bunch of 5 year olds. Dan slowly interlaced their fingers, kissing Phil's knuckles before breaking out in giggles again.
Once they got home, Dan was excited as ever. Phil had promised him more gifts and well, what could he say, he was an actual toddler.
Phil kissed him once more before moving them to the tree and grabbing a huge package. Dan gasped, this was too much. He opened the package eagerly and pulled Phil into a hug. "Oh my god!" He yelled. Phil had gotten them a switch.
"To be quite honest with you, I just needed an excuse to spend that much money on it", he chuckled, Dan shrugged and hugged him again.
"I got some more things", he said with a smile on his face.
"Phil", Dan whined.
Phil shushed him before getting a tiny box from under the tree, inside were dainty earrings. "You're always looking at them whenever we go shopping and I thought they'd look nice on you", he explained.
"I love them", Dan whispered.
Next up was an even tinier box, Dan opened it and inside was a ring. "Phil?"
"It's", Phil coughed, "it's not a wedding ring", he said. "It just reminded me of you and, well, other people might think you're married and I won't have to be so jealous all the time".
Dan smiled, kissing Phil's cheek before sliding it on and looking at it as if it were a real wedding ring.
"You're way too kind to me Philip Lester".
"Only the best for you", he whispered back, kissing him again, he could do that forever. Dan looked at him and then the ring and he could feel the tears well up in his eyes. "Dan, what's wrong?" He asked.
"I just love you so much", he cried.
Phil hugged him tight, he didn't ever want to let go.
"God", Dan said as he wiped his eyes, "I had this whole thing prepared but I completely ruined the mood".
Phil chuckled, "it's okay bear".
"Bought that Christmas suit for nothing", he said whilst shaking his head.
"Christmas suit hm?" Phil asked.
Dan nodded, a soft blush on his cheeks.
"Well it's only Christmas Eve", he reasoned.
Dan shook his head again, "nope, surprise ruined, you'll have to deal with just me now".
"As if thats a problem", Phil shot back before kissing Dan again.
Dan kissed back and wrapped his arms around Phil's neck, he slowly deepened the kiss and slid his hands underneath Phil's hideous sweater.
Phil started kissing down Dan's neck, who just threw his head back. "Right here?" He questioned, "shouldn't we move to the bedroom?"
"Nope", Phil said, continuing his way down. Dan rolled them over, straddling him and pulling the sweater off. He ran his hands down Phil's chest, admiring him for a while. As he popped the button of Phil's jeans, he looked up and made eye contact with the Christmas stall underneath the tree. He rolled off with a sigh.
"Alright, mood's ruined", he laughed.
"Dan, What?"
"I made eye contact with actual Jesus Phil, we can't do this".
"Oh my god I hate you", Phil laughed.
"Don't put Jesus in my field of sight then", Dan whined.
"Can we at least move this to the bedroom then?" Phil asked.
"Well take me there and I'll think about it".
