Save Me

~Phil's POV~

The plane ride back home was long and exhausting. It's weird how you can become so tired from sitting and doing nothing. Like I'm not flying the plane or serving drinks to everyone. I'm just sitting here, watching a movie on my laptop with Dan.

We watched Moon Rise Kingdom, it is one of my favorite movies. Although I enjoy it so much I didn't watch a lot of it. I spent most of the trip watching Dan watch the movie. I watched him chuckle when the kitty went meow from the folds of a basket. I watched as he tensed up awkwardly and his face turned rosey when the boy fondled the girl's breasts. The cutest part was when he cringed when they pierced the girl's ears with a fishing hook.

After the movie finished Dan was asleep. I feel a sense of relief when he is asleep. It's like nothing can hurt him. He's so fragile, he is like a piece of glass that is thin and tiny, and means more than anything to me. I mean, fuck I'd do anything for him.

Suddenly, the plane russles, and the fasten seat belts sign glows. "We are experiencing minor turbulence on today's flight, due to strong winds. Passengers please fasten your seat belts." Dan rolls his head as if his subconscious knows he should be awake now, but doesn't want to be. And suddenly all the thoughts rush in. What if we do crash? What if the engines give out and we plummet towards the mass ocean below where there is no land for miles? All these thoughts are probably a one in a million chance, but I still don't like those odds.

I put my hand on Dan's shoulder, "D-Dan." You usually don't have to wake a sleeping passenger for turbulence, but the terrifying thoughts are killing me. "Daniel!" I say not loud enough to startle the other passengers, but enough to wake him. "Ugh what do you want Phil?" He said annoyed. The plane jostled again, and I grabbed the arm wrests. "Phil! Are you having a panic attack?" He asked concerned. I couldn't muster words. I was too afraid. I barely moved my head in a small up and down motion. "What's wrong?" He asked.

~Dan's POV~

Phil was shaking, he seemed terrified, almost as if the Grim Reaper was staring him in the face. "Phil. It's fine, nothing is wrong. The flight is almost over, we have about an hour left. Calm down." I said smoothly. He didn't move, almost as if I didn't say anything in the first place.

I kept talking to him, telling him that "everything is okay" and "there's nothing to worry about", but it didn't do anything for him, or me. So, I did the only thing I didn't want to do, but it was the only hope of getting Phil out of this trance of fear he put himself in.

I grabbed his hands and stared intently into his eyes. "Phil, everything is fine. You're with me, I will never let anything bad happen to you." I said, "Phil I want you to kno-"

There was a flash of blinding light, people screaming, and 200 mile hour wind blowing. None of that could compare to the horror I was focused on. My hands were empty, no hands of the person I love. They were gone, and holding on to the arm of a seat for dear life. Phil's legs were dangling out of the falling plane trying to kick up and flip over back on to it, but he wasn't strong enough. "Save me." Phil whispered.

I turned around and grabbed the flotation device stored under the seats- I got both mine and Phil's. Phil reached out his hand, and I took it. "Jump." I said with full faith that he would, and he did.

Suddenly the world went in slow motion. It was just him and I plummeting to the Earth below. "Phil." I yelled so he could hear me. He looked up, floatation device in hand. "I live you, and I couldn't think of anyone better to spend my last moment with." I said. I let go of my float and grabbed Phil's wrist. I pulled him in to myself had our lips crashed together. It was amazing. It was like fire and ice, like night and day, like earth and wind, like sun and moon, like black and white. "Dan I've always loved you too, I was just too embarrassed to tell you." He told me. And we kissed again, this time only hundreds of feet from the ocean.

Phil deployed the one person floatation device. And we hit the water. The impact sent shock waves through my body, I felt paralyzed for a few seconds. Then I surfaced in the middle of the ocean. Phil was resting on the float, and I swam over. "Dan sit on it." He said.

"Phil no, save yourself."

"Dan! I mean it! You deserve to live! You have given meaning to millions of people's lives! Including mine. You need to live. Please."

"Phil... Stop!" Then he let go. He sunk down to the depths, and there was no way I could save him. "Why god why? I loved him!" I yelled at the sky. "Please, no." I whispered.

I sat up in a jolt, I was panting heavily. I jumped up and ran to Phil's room. He was under his cover crying. "Did you have that dream too?" I asked. He shook his head yes. "It's okay I'm right here." I said. I sat down on his bed and kissed his cheek. " I love you." I said. "I love you too." He replied. "It's only 4:30 we should go back to sleep." I said. "Yea." He agreed. I got up to leave,but Phill stopped me. "Ca-can you stay with me?" He asked quietly. "Of course."

I laid down new to him, and pulled him toward me. My head was on the pillows, and his on my chest. I hugged Phil for hours. We didn't talk, we just wanted to be together. "Dan?" Phil asked. "Do you really love me? Like in the way I do?" He said. I sat up, and so did he. "Phil I don't love you the way you love me." I said. A tear ran down his face and he put his head down. I pulled up his chin slowly and leaned in and kissed him. "Phil I love you more than the way you love me. I would walk a million miles, then a million more, just to be with you." We kissed again, and fell back on to the bed.

I put my hands in his pants and outside his boxers. He smiled into our kiss. He ran his fingers through my hair. I took off my shirt, "Are we really doing this?" Phil asked eagerly. "I love you." I said.
