Your POV

You lay peacefully asleep in bed. You don't toss and you don't turn...not like before. You breathe slowly, in and out...in and out... You don't stir, you don't make a noise. The morning light of London carefully seeps through the window, casting light shadows of the filming equipment. Your dreams good, focusing on the niceness of the two men and the crazy events that took place. Speaking of Dan and Phil, Dan's arms are still wrapped loosely around your waist, his head still buried into your neck. What were you – a friend in need of comfort...of course...yeah. But little known to each other, you meant much more to one another. Despite it only been two days, and not to sound cringy, but you would have to admit there was some kind of unknown connection between the two of you. One lasting a life time.

You begin to stir and your eyes slowly slide open, the soft light filling your senses. It took all of you not to move as you felt a stranger behind you...where am I?! Slowly, after darting your eyes around the room you remember and sigh in relief, that the stranger was no stranger and was in fact the Daniel Howell. You smile giddishly to yourself, the strange rarely felt butterfly feeling in your stomach twisted inside you. His body warms yours nicely and you never want to move from this position. If only you could stay there forever.

"Good morning." You slightly jump as the soft whisper surprises you from behind. "Feeling any better?"

"Yeah." You roll onto your back and he retracts his arms. You peer over at the giant and smile. "Umm...Dan?" He glances at you.

"Hmm?"

"Thanks, for last night. I slept really well afterwards."

"That's good to hear...So did I." He turns and smiles sweetly. You stay there for a moment staring into each other's beautiful eyes. Dan's cheeks become a faint tinge of red. He shakes it off and sits up. "I'll umm... I'll let you get changed." He quickly walks to the door and you eye off his shirtless body. "I'll make breakfast." He closes the door behind him and you hear him thudding down the stairs. You sigh and hold your hands to your heart, you feel it beating fast and heavily. D-Does he like me? No-No way...well...whatever. You get out of bed and get changed thinking about the brown-haired boy.

One week Later

You and Phil laze around in the lounge room watching an episode of Doctor Who/Stranger Things. Dan had gone out to film a collab with Louise and then is meeting an old family friend afterwards. "(Y/N)?" Phil starts.

"Yeah, Phil?"

"You're really cool you know."

"Really, thanks!" You smile up at the raven-haired man.

"And you know who else thinks you're pretty cool?"

"Who?" You ask dumbly even though you already know the obvious answer. He never answers your question. He turns to you with a more serious expression on his face but then all of a sudden becomes childish like and says...

"You like him, don't you?" Though not really a question, more of a statement. Your cheeks heat up and you look down at your fiddling fingers. "Don't you?" He nudges you with his elbow earning a nervous chuckle from you.

"No." You say inaudibly.

"Yess..." He nods his head as if trying to answer the question for you.

"Shut up." You say light heatedly brushing him off.

"Ah-hah! I knew it!" He exclaims.

"Yeah, yeah, say it louder. I'm sure the whole of London can't hear you." He smiles but his face returns to the serious expression from before and he looks back at the television.
