Dan rubbed his eyes as he squinted at the flashing TV screen that was currently airing an anime.
"Hey," Phil said in monotone not taking his eyes off of the TV.
"Hi," Daniel smiled as he stretched, yawning loudly. "What're we watching?" Dan asked.
"Death Note," Phil answered. "It's one of my favorites."
The two watched the screen intensely as if they had to study this for a report.
"What do you want to do now?" Phil asked as the episode had ended.
"I have no idea," Dan admitted.
The only thing that was on Phil's mind was not that long ago when Dan said in his dream he loved Phil. Phil wanted to ask Dan about it (A/N: I was just NORTHERN DOWPOURED) but, Phil didn't want Dan to suspect that he loved him, even though while he was sleeping Daniel said he loved Phil himself. But, what if they were rehearsing some sort of play? Or what if it was another Phil that Dan was talking to? Phil sat in silence as he thought about this looking like he is having an existential crisis.
Dan didn't question Phil while he had the existential crisis face because he knew that when he was having one he never liked to be bothered. Dan kept thinking about his dream and the meaning behind it. Daniel Howell knew he was falling for Phil Lester but, this dream was proof that he loved Phil.
Phil was acting kind of weird to Dan, the distance that Phil was giving Dan was like they just met an hour ago. He pondered what Phil was thinking. Maybe he was in deep existential thought or maybe he was upset about something. But, usually, when Phil had a problem he told his mum or Dan usually. Dan had enough of this silence and the sight of an uneasy face on Phil.
"Phil?" Dan spoke up, grabbing Phil's attention. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Phil smiled as he twiddled with his thumbs.
"Are you sure?" Dan pressed.
"Yes, Dan!" Phil snapped. Dan was shaking, his eyes were filled with fear as he looked into the eyes of Phil that were filled with rage.
"Phil...?" Dan asked after a moment of silence. "Why did you yell at me?"
"I didn't mean too and I'm sorry." Phil frowned, getting onto the couch next to Dan. "I'm just, really stressed."
"Care to talk about it?" Dan was annoyed by the fact that Phil said he was fine before he snapped.
"But, if I tell you, you'll think I'm weird and you'll leave me an-"
"Phil!" Dan grabbed Phil's shoulders. "I will never leave you. Hear me?"
Phil sighed and thought for a moment, staring into Dan's maple colored eyes lost for words on how to confront him about his dream.
"Dan," Phil began after taking a few deep breaths. "I was on the floor beside the couch when you were sleeping watching TV and I heard you mumbling things, so I turned to you to hear what you were saying." Dan tensed up. Did he really say what he said in his dream out loud?
"And I heard you yell my name, so I listened carefully and a second later you said I love you."
Dan's eyes widened. Phil knew that Dan loved him now, and now Phil was gonna leave Dan. These thoughts were racing through Dan's mind more quickly than he's ever thought something before.
"Dan," Phil stared into his eyes still, now grabbing his shoulders. "It's okay." Phil scooched closer to Dan and wrapped his arms around Dan's waist, making both of their faces turn red. "I love you too."
