"So you've got it all right? toothbrush, clothes- is your phone charged? did you pack the charger?" Dan rambled in panic. Adrian was going to spend the halloween weekend with Will and Sam in their cabin and needless to say Dan was nervous. It was the first time his brother would be away alone since the accident.
"do you have the train ticket?"
"Yes Dan Ive got it all packed and figured" Adrian whined right when the front door bell chimed through the appartment. "I'll get it" he telled and ran.
Phil went from his stand at Adrians doorpost to hug Dan from behind. He put his arms around his troso and intertwined his fingers, his head on Dans left shoulder. Dan slightly jumped at the sudden contact before turning around so he could hug back.
"He is growing up so fast and it terrifies me" Dan mumbeled.
"shh" Phil whispered and rocked Dan fron side to side in his arms. "he will be alright"
"I know, baby, I know"

"Say goodbye now" Sam said both Will and Adrian yelled Bye and went down the stairs. "the train back arrives at noon on sunday so he should be home within an hour from then, and Dan"
"yeah"
"he is only a phone call away, he is safe I know you know that"
"yeah I know, have a great time hun see you sunday"
"goodbye Dan"

Phil stood stiring his coffee when Dan came around the wall.
"He might be doing fine and he might be alright but I am definitely niether" Phil laughed at Dans words and opened his arms to embrace him.
"You'll be alright Danny"
"dont please dont call me danny"
"shh quiet now"

They had plans to spend the day at home. Phil had emails to reply to, a skype meeting to attend to and a he had to film a video. Dan on the other hand had a free day so while his boyfriend was busy with work he was running around cleaning up, dusting washing clothes and such housely chores.
"well wont you look at that. my hard working baby boy cleaning and fixing"
Dan smiles and laughed under his breath as he stopped cleaning the floor of kitchen cupboard to fix his hair. His bum in the air bent over to reach into the corners.
"oh dont stall on my account, I dont mind seeing you from this angle"
"oh shut up"
"make me"
Dan turned around and ripped Phil down to his level by his shirt. Phil giggled and smiled as they kissed.
"what did I ever do to deserve you Phil"
"you applied to a job at a diner where a stranger I ran into worked"
"how we met really is the most random way imaginable" Dan said and scoffed "you're brother and you happened to meet my closest mate in a bar, when you mever go to bars and she usually works at that time"
"Yeah. But if we hadn't met like so we would've met some other way cause clearly we were made to be"

Dan and Phil had a great weekend and so did Adrian. Many more weekends like these and weeks like the previous turned into months and soon enough it was December.

Dan and Phil walked together, hand in hand through the streets of manchester back to the appartment. The cold wonter air surrounding them into an abyss of snow and wind. Their bodies as close as their coats would let them. They walked in silence, not because they didnt want to talk nor that they didn't have things to talk about but the way they could make silence so comfortable that they would even prefer it. At night in the dark, when they lay besides each other, Dan on the left, Phil on the right, Phils arms around Dans torso and Dans head rested on Phils chest. Phil loved having Dan in his arms every night that was what he loved the most about staying over at Dans. He was practically living there by now, he had spent one night in his flat since they got together and that was because his brother was coming over for a night and he felt disrespectful to leave him alone.

When they got back in they landed in the sofa laptops on their laps.

"Phil?" Dan said Phil looked up from his laptop and at Dan, sat opposite to him.
"Dan" He scoffed and giggled. Phil smiled and let his tounge slip out between his lips. "okay serious note, what darling?"
"Why do you never go home"
"well thats simple" Phil looked at Dan confused expression. "Dan you're my home. Wherever you are is where I feel at home"
"awe, you cheesy shit"
"Im serious Dan" Phils tone was completely serious and Dan noticed he rised his eyebrows at him.
"you really feel that" Phil nodded and sat up straighter.
"yes Dan I really do. I love you and to be honest if it were up to me I'd sell my flat and move in here, with you, with Ad"
Dan smiled and got an idea. He picked up his phone and dialed his brothers number.

"hey dan"
"Hi, um weird question but what do you think of phil"
"um hes cool, and like awesome in every way and he makes you less sad"
"wow, ouch but good so if I asked him to move in you wouldnt be apposed?"
"ofcourse not, Id love it"
"great, see you later"
he hung up the phone and looked into Phils eyes.

"looks like you're moving in"
