Phils POV

The atmosphere when I woke up is tense. I glance over at my clock on my bedside table and see that it says 11 pm. I guess falling asleep at 4 pm messes up a sleeping schedule. I shift a little trying to unravel myself from my covers because I'm getting too warm when I realize what is stopping me from moving is an arm. I slowly turn around and see Dans face peacefully sleeping next to me. I smile and wiggle my arm from his grip to bring my hand to his face. I start to lightly touch his face. He looks so calm, which is a lot different from his frantic face I remember seeing before falling asleep.

As I lightly trace his feature on his face I notice his dimples start to appear, which can only mean he is awake now. His arms pull me closer to his body causing me to smile a light, soft giggle. I bring my finger down from his right cheek over his dimple and straight to his plump lips. As I go to pull his bottom lip back he takes my finger and bites it gently and then smiles. I jump a little then giggle. Finally, his chocolate eyes open to greet me and my already smile widens. He leans forward and places a soft kiss to my lips.

"Hi" he whispers like he isn't trying to break the peaceful atmosphere. "Hi" I reply and lean over to kiss his cheek. After that I lean back and we just stare into each other eyes. I see a tear fall from one of Dan's eyes and I quickly move my finger to stop. His eyes look down before quickly meeting mine again. He sits up so his leaning against my headboard. "I'm so sorry Phil." he whispers again to me, this time more tears leak from his eyes. I quickly sit up to and crawl in his lap placing my hands on his chest. He immediately wraps his arms around my hips. "Shh Dan, it's fine." I try to soothe him but the tears keep falling. "No, it's not. I caused you to have a very serious panic attack. I shouldn't have closed that door on you. I'm so so sorry." He cried pulling me closer so that his face was on my chest. I felt his tears soak into my skin.

I bring my arms up and wrap them around his head. I softly comb my hand through his hair and kiss the top of his head. "Dan, you didn't know. Yes, shouldn't have closed the door but you didn't know I was claustrophobic. We never talked about it." I respond leaning back in his lap. I grab his face with my hands to make him look at me. His tear stained face glistens from the moonlight seeping in from the curtains. I lean forward and whisper "I forgive you Daniel Howell." before kissing his lips.

We stayed in that position for around 25 minutes the Dan slowly rolled over causing me to go back to my side of the bed. He put our foreheads together and I closed my eyes. I felt myself slowly start to drift to sleep. Right before falling into my deep slumber the four most beautiful words float through my ears, "I love you, Phil."

Waking up the next morning was a struggle. Even though I slept for hours yesterday I still feel so tired and just emotionally drained. I roll over on my bed to stretch out and that's when I finally realized that Dan is no longer next to me. I sit up and look around my room with a puzzled look on my face. I stand up and stretch some more before looking around my room to see if there is any sign of Dan, however, my search turns up nothing. Not even a note. I sigh and put my slippers on before heading downstairs. When I get about halfway down the stairs and I hear voices talking in a whisper. I stop walking to try to make out what is being said.

"I said I am sorry Jake! He has forgiven me! Why can't you?" I hear the whispering pleading voice of Dan. "Because I'm not cloudy by lust. You have hurt him so many times and I 'm not quick to forgive." Jake said back in a stiff manner. "I didn't mean for this to happen." Dan replies I felt like he was being attacked, so I was about to intervene when I heard a question that made me halt in my steps. "Answer me this, Why did you even shut the door, Dan?" Jake asks I hold my breath waiting for the answer. "I don't know why." Dan sighs. "I just didn't want him overhearing business related things now." He adds awkwardly. "Bullshit!" Jake almost yelled. I jump a little but I kinda agree with him. Dan's response seemed like it was made up.
