All You Need Is Love Phan

Rachel had of course spread around rumours but by the time everyone had heard about it, it was already fairly obvious. Phil was yet to tell his parents but his brother had seen the two walking around the school hand in hand, he had promised not to tell them until Phil was ready. Rachel threw dirty looks and insults at them but they learned to shut them out and ignore her just like everyone else did, without Phil she really had nothing.

Phil always went to Dan's after school and he was sure his parents had assumed things by now but they probably weren't wrong. When he told them he knew that he would let Dan over whenever he wanted. But the problem was Dan wanted to come over now.

"why not?"

"because I don't want them questioning things Dan"

"I'll climb through your window if you want?"

"Dan that's crazy you could get hurt"

"it'd be worth it if it meant I could spend time with you"

Dan said with the same cheeky grin that made Phil's heart go crazy.

"ugh fine. But you'll have to come later, half nine or something?"

"got it, goodbye for now Philly"

Dan said with a smile before kissing him lightly on the cheek. They were less afraid to be close in public now but only if it was reasonably quiet.

Phil sat at his desk staring out of the window waiting for Dan. He hoped that he remembered to come through the window and not knock on the door. He had decided that if his mum walked in he would just tell her the truth as there was no point in lying.

Dan wasn't the most athletic person but the thought of climbing up to a window that was on the upstairs of a house was enough to make him feel exhausted . As he prowled around Phil's back garden in the darkness he went slowly after all he had never seen it before so had no idea what trip hazards awaited him all he knew was that there was a pond somewhere and he really didn't want to take a late night dip. Avoiding the windows he reached the tree that Phil said he should climb as it was right outside his window, Dan huffed as he looked up at the tangle of branches he hadn't climbed a tree in years. Hauling himself up onto the lowest branch with the little arm strength he had he began to blindly climb upwards the darkness making it even more difficult. As he reached the branch closest to Phil's window he had a clear view of the boy as he sat at his desk, the small light that was brightening up the words of a book for him, Dan could've watched him all night but decided he would much rather be there with him. He threw a small stone at the window to get Phil's attention holding onto the branches around him for dear life.

Phil heard a small bang against his window and looked up from the book he was so invested in, and there was Dan sitting in a tree waiting to be let in. Phil opened the window for him, shuddering at the cold air that forced its way in.

"I thought you weren't coming"

"And why's that?"

Phil looked at him and shook his head

"Dan it's like half ten or something"

"It's Friday who cares"

Phil held out a hand to help Dan across as he didn't want him to fall and hurt himself. He climbed through and collapsed onto Phil's bed letting out a small and quiet laugh.

"Next time can I climb through a down stair window?"

Phil smiled and lay down next to him.

"Yes, was that tree to much for the little Danny?"

"Oh shut up"

Dan said with a laugh and hit Phil's arm playfully

"Oi"

Phil said with a laugh before climbing on top of Dan and starting to tickle his neck knowing he would hate it.

"Ah.....ah Phil nooo you know I hate that"

Phil said between laughs and cries trying to push Phil off of him, he stopped after a few seconds not wanting to annoy Dan to much so to make it up to him he left a small kiss on the side of his face. Dan smiled and blushed, putting his hands on Phil's waist sitting up with the boy sitting on him but what dan didn't realise was that Phil had heard footsteps and was frozen in fear.

The exact moment that Dan connected their lips Phil's Mum opened the door, Phil by that point had his hands on the back of Dan's head, the fear of someone coming in from a few seconds earlier was gone.

"Ph...."

His mum started but froze when she saw the two of them. Both boys pulled away almost immediately, both going the same shade of red.

"Mum!?"

The fear in Phil's eyes was clear, he clung to Dan like he was the only reason he hadn't faded away at that moment.

"Oh my god Phil I'm sorry"

She said not knowing wether to leave or stay. Dan looked at Phil and nodded trying to encourage him to tell her the now obvious truth.

"C...can we t...talk about something?"

Phil asked terrified but with a little bit of confidence that Dan had somehow given him.

"Of course sweetheart, what is it?"

She said calmly closing the door behind her and sitting on Phil's chair, he climbed off of Dan sitting next to him but clinging onto his hand. Surely she already understood what this conversation was going to be about.

"W..well you see or well you have seen that... um.....eh.... Dan is my boyfriend and I...."

Phil's Mum smiled brightly, tears in her eyes as she looked at both of the boys.

"Oh Phil I am so proud of you"

She said before throwing her arms around the two of them and pulling them into a tight hug.

"Dan can stay the night if he wants, after all it's dark now and it's rather late to be walking home alone. I'll bring some food up for the two of you soon."

And with that she was gone shutting the door gently behind her. Dan pulled Phil into a tight hug kissing his forehead.

"See Philly I told you it'd be fine"

"You are staying the night"

Phil said with a smile, unlike Dan he didn't have a double bed he just had an old single bed from when he was younger that they hadn't bothered replacing with a bigger one.

They ate, they hugged, they kissed, just like other teenagers who were in a relationship would as their gender, despite people's opinions, didn't change a thing.

They lay together in Phil's small bed, a tangle of arms and legs as they tried to sleep but how could anyone sleep when you were this close to the one you loved, the one you put before yourself. Phil nestled his head into Dan's neck and slowly drifted to sleep but was still aware of the fact that Dan was running his hands slowly through his black hair.
