"Daaaaaannnnnnnnn!" I whine, waiting by the door. "We're already late to Pj's party!" I call out.

Dan stumbles down the stairs, hair messy and a shoe in one hand. He hops on one foot, putting on the shoe and hopping across the floor in an attempt to make it over faster. He almost falls, but manages to regain his balance. 

"You're a mess" I laugh, sweeping one of his brown curls from his eyes.

"Yeah, but you love me anyways" he grins, meeting his eyes with mine.

"Of course I do, you're perfect" I beam, taking his hand and heading to the cab. Phil is already at Pj's, as he left at a reasonable time. Dan and I walk down the stairs and climb into the backseat, giving the driver our destination. We settle into the faux leather interior of the car. I study Dan, his genuine happiness seems to radiate off of him, casting a sort of aura. He's been this way ever since we've gotten back together. I've been a whole lot happier as well. He turns to look at me.

"You look stunning by the way" Dan compliments, slipping his fingers between mine once again. I look down at my black, strappy skater dress and nude heels. I really like this outfit.

"Thanks" I look at him. Dan is wearing a black leather jacket with a black tshirt and skinny jeans, paired with some black boots. "You look great too. Well actually..." I pause, leaning over and moving a lock of hair back in place. "There. Absolutely perfect." Dan goes speechless, grinning and looking to the side.

Eventually, we arrive at the party, paying the driver and going to the door. 

"Hey! Danny boy, (Y/N), I didn't thing you were going to come! You're 45 minutes late!" Pj exclaims as he swings open the door, clearly intoxicated. He steps forward and gives Dan and I each a peck on the cheek. Dan and I turn to each other, both holding back hollers of laughter. 

"So, we're all hanging out and talking over by the TV. Oh! And drinks are in the kitchen" he motions towards the counter as he turns and walks back to the majority of the group. 

"I bet a kiss that Chris is asleep somewhere in there" Dan gambles, nodding towards the group and taking a sip of his drink. I ponder his bet, and agree.

"No way Howell, Chris has always seemed like a guy who can handle a few drinks" I shake my head, then take a sip.

"You've got yourself a bet" he chuckles, shaking hands with me. The two of us walk in and I take a seat on the couch next to Dan. My eyes dart around the room, finally landing on Chris, passed out in a beanbag chair.

"F*ck" I mumble as Dan notices and grins. "How did you know?"

"I've been to a lot of events with Chris. That boy is out like that" Dan smirks, snapping his fingers.

"Fair enough" I nod.

"Now," Dan pauses, turning his head to look at me, "about that kiss?"

"Of course" I mumble, leaning in until our lips meet. Dan decided to deepen the kiss, to the point where we were full on making out on the couch. I run my hand through his curly locks as we continue. Eventually Dan is hit with a shoe, causing him to break away.

"Jesus! Just get a room" Emma giggles, turning back to Peej, who is also giggling. Very embarrassing. Dan and I both go red as I rest my head on his arm. He begins to play with my hair as Phil comes and chats with us.

As the two talk, I feel my eyes go heavy, letting them close.

I wake up briefly as Dan carries me down to the cab, walking with Phil. I fall in and out of sleep in the car. Dan picks me up and carries me inside, laying me in my bed and tucking me in. He plants a kiss on my forehead, then turns to walk away.

"No. Stay" I call out sleepily, dozing off.

"Okay" he whispers, switching off the light. I hear him kick off his boots, his leather jacket drop to the floor, then his shirt, then his jeans. He crawls under the covers. "Goodnight Love" he mumbles in the dark, shifting so that we are face to face.

"Goodnight" I manage to speak before falling asleep.
