Dan woke up after a few hours with a groan, the pain caused by the bruises over his body was certainly back. He streched his arms above him, in the hopes of making the pain subside, but he made it worse. When Dan looked next to him though, Phil was still there, now looking at him. His eyes were still only slightly open, meaning he probably just woke up and his hair was messy.

"Hi." Phil whispered, blinking his eyes a few times before he finally felt awake again.

"I am the embodiment of pain." Dan groaned, curling up into a ball. "What time is it anyways?" Dan asked. His voice was barely audible since he was talking into his knees.

Phil lazily sat up to look around for his phone which was previously in his back pocket, but must have fallen out when he was asleep. When he finally finds in between the fold of the covers  and looks at his phone, Phils mind completely shuts off and his mind goes blank.

"Phil?" Dan asks, turning his head around to check if Phil hasn't fallen asleep again. "What time is it?" He asks again, this time he turns over to face Phil and see the frightened look in his eyes. "Phil?" He says once again, this time sitting up and moving in front of Phil, scrunching up his nose and biting his lip, trying to conceal the pain the sudden movement caused him. The worry in his chest grew as he saw a tear roll down Phil's cheek. When he looked down at Phil's phone he understood what was happening.

That's all Dan was able to see before the screen went dark. Dan looked back at Phil who now had more tears streaming down his cheeks and his breathing was getting significantly quicker.

"Phil.." Dan said once again, not really knowing what else to say. He awkwardly shuffled closer to Phil and wrapped his arms around him as Phil began sobbing. The raven haired boy cried into Dan's shoulder, Dan just held the boy in his arms, wishing he knew how to help him.

"I don't want to go home." Phil muttered between sobs, every word breaking Dan's heart.

"Hey, you're here with me now. You're safe. You're okay." Dan whispered, holding the boy he grew to love so quickly. "It's okay." He continued, as it seemed to calm Phil's breathing down a bit.

"Why do we always end up like this?" Phil slightly laughed through his tears. There was a moment of silence between them before Phil continued, "Oh god I don't want to go home." Phil sighed, tears still spilling from his eyes, but at least his breathing was normal now.

"I mean you don't have to." Dan said trying to find a solution. "You could always stay here?" Dan said, playing with Phil's hair.

"I'd just be a burden."

"No you wouldn't."

"What about your grandma?"

"She'll have to deal with it."

"I love you." Dan's heart skipped a beat. This was practically the first time Phil had said it.

"I love you too."
