Summery: Phil's in a coma and Dan feels like it's his fault

Warnings: Nothing, but I did cry writing this haha

POV: None

Song: Little Lion Man

------

Weep for yourself, my man,

You'll never be what is in your heart

Weep little lion man you're not as brave as you were at the start

Dan cries into his hands, letting the tears fall.

He sits in a hospital ward in an old dusty visitors chair. Phil lies in his hospital bed breathing quietly, tubes and wires connected to him in multiple places.

Rate yourself and rake yourself

Take all the courage you have left

And waste it on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head

Memories of what happened play back repetitively in Dan's mind.

They were driving home from the radio show. 22:30, it was dark and the street lamps were already on. Rain hit the windows of Dan's car making it hard to see even with the wipers on.

BEEP

Another car drove straight into Phil's side of the car. Dan can't even look at Phil while he's calling 999.

"Ambulance please"

But it was not your fault but mine

And it was your heart on the line

A machine beeps as Phil's heart rate appears on the screen

I really fucked it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

Phil's chest rises with every breath he takes. Dan looks up to gaze at him. His face is paler than ever and his hair is covering one eye. Dan leans over and moves his fringe with his finger, revealing the closed eye underneath.

Tremble for yourself, my man, you know that you have seen this all before

Tremble little lion man, you'll never settle any of your scores

Your grace is wasted on your face

Your boldness stand alone among the wreck

Now learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck

••

Two days pass and Dan is still sitting in the old, dusty visitors chair. He hasn't eaten for so long and his stomach feels like an empty pit of nothing. The doctors say Phil has a 40% chance of waking up and it is likely that his memory will be gone.

But it was not your fault but mine

And it was your heart on the line

I really fucked it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

But it was not your fault but mine

And it was your heart on the line

I really fucked it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

Didn't I, my dear?

Dan thinks about all the memories he's had with Phil. Making their first video together, decorating the tree and not going to A&E with a bauble in their face, their first radio show...

He sighs and curls up in the chair. What if his bestfriend, boyfriend and soulmate never wakes up?

But it was not your fault but mine

And it was your heart on the line

I really fucked it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

Tired and hungry, Dan stands up and stretches. He hears a sigh and looks down at Phil. Phil's hand moves from his chest and next to his hip. Dan's eyes widen. With a small yawn, Phil's eyes slowly flutter open, revealing blue crystals underneath.

"Phil?" Dan smiles

"Hey Danny" Phil replies, his voice raspy.

"Jesus Christ Phil you're okay!" Dan exclaims and leans down to wrap his arms around the pale man.

"I know, love, I know" Phil smiles and weakly kisses his boyfriend's cheek.

But it was not your fault but mine

And it was your heart on the line

I really fucked it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

Didn't I, my dear?
