Chapter 3

Phil shot up confusion and panic showing clearly on his face. It was dark, so dark he couldn't see a single thing. He was alone, in a bed that didn't feel like his own. His nightmare plagued his mind. It was all he could think of, Dan pleading with a gunman for his life, The gun shot echoing in Phil's ears, Dans body crumpling to the floor. It was all to much.

Phil saw a small light click on through the cracks of the door illuminating the small room and sighed in relief as he saw his surroundings. He was in Dan's room, snuggled up under his blankets.

Dan walked through the door a minute later and smiled when he saw Phil wide awake, his hair messy and falling over his face. "I had a nightmare Dan." Phil whimpered snuggling further into the sheets, burying his head in the soft pillow as if trying to bury the dream.

Dan sighed gently running a hand through his slightly curly hair, deep in thought . He walked over to the bed and slipped in beside Phil. He pulled him gently onto his chest kissing his forehead lightly. "It's okay Phil. I'm here now." Dan whispered wondering how many times he had said this these last few days. "Shh.." he whispered softly again.

Phil looked up at Dan his eyes still slightly red and his thin frame shaking. "Thank you Dan." He whispered shyly before resting his head back down on Dan's chest and falling into a peaceful sleep.

Dan and Phil woke up again at 10am, the sun had now risen and light poured through the thin curtains of their apartment. The dark of night had vanished along with any insecurities that last night had brought.

"Phil. What was that dream about last night?" Dan asked curiously.

Phil replied with a short "someone shot you Dan. You died."

"Oh." Dan responded hugging his boyfriend gently. "Well I'm okay."

"Yeah." Phil replied caught up in the dream once again.

Dan got up and stretched yawning loudly and ruffling his curly hair "You want breakfast?" He asked Phil

"Yeah please" Phil smiled.

Phil got up 15 minutes later as the smell of pancakes entered the room making his mouth water and his stomach grumble uncontrollably. He plodded into the kitchen his slippers dragging across the floor and and slumped into a seat at the breakfast bar. "Dan" He whined "I'm so hungry."

"Nearly done" Dan said flipping the last pancake way to high and sticking it to the ceiling. "S**t" he mumbled under his breath before walking off to get a stool to retrieve the soggy pancake.

Phil meanwhile flicked the radio on to hear muse blasting out "

Give me all the peace and joy in your mind!" He sang the lyrics at the top of his voice thinking about how true they were. Dan always seemed so calm, nothing ever fazed him.

Dan walked back in to hear muse on the radio. He to sang along while climbing up onto the stool and scraping the pancake off the roof. He tossed a bit at Phil and it splatted in his face. Dan laughed uncontrollably clutching his stomach as his infectious laughter filled the room. Phil to soon joined in and the two boys sat laughing and eating pancakes.

A phone call interrupted the laughter and Dan jumped down off his stool to answer it.

"Hey it's PJ."

"Oh hey, haven't seen you and Chris in ages. How are you guys?" Dan asked while walking slowly back to the breakfast bar.

"We're good. In fact we are throwing a party tonight at our new place. We were wondering if you and Phil would like to come along?"

"Hang on, let me just ask Phil." Dan removed the phone from his ear and said "Chris and PJ are having a party tonight, you wanna go?"

Phil nodded his head eagerly and Dan smiled.

"Yeah that should be great PJ."

"See you tonight then." PJ said happily.

"Bye." and then the two boys hung up.

Dan walked back over to Phil. A huge grin was on his face. "What you wearing tonight?" Dan asked

"Probably just some skinny jeans and a checked shirt. How about you" Phil asked still eating pancakes

"Probably skinny jeans and a polo shirt." Dan replied. "Nothing special anyway"

He picked up Phil's plate and threw it into the sink." Now go get ready. I'm taking you somewhere special today." He winked at Phil before walking into his own room to change.

Phil grinned to himself. Before he walked away to get changed.

An hour later Dan and Phil pulled up to the zoo. Phil bounced in his seat like a two year old. "Thank you Dan!" He yelled kissing his boyfriend on the lips before climbing out of the car. Dan chuckling walked over to the zoo gates.

"That will be £30 please sir." The women behind the registered said in a bored tone. Phil went to pull out his wallet but Dan stopped him.

"I'm paying" He whispered.

The women rolled her eyes as Dan held out the money. "Here's your tickets." She said "Have a nice day."

Dan pulled out the map he was given studying it carefully. "Lets go see the lions!" He yelled before roaring loudly. Needless to say he got a lot of strange looks. Phil blushed crimson as Dan grabbed his hand and led him through the swarming crowd. Today was going to be amazing.
