Parallel Universes || Phan

Chapter 21

Dan's POV*

 I watched as the touching reunion formed in front of me. he sight was adorable despite it was Phil and I's duplicates and we should feel a little uncomfortable. I didn't though, I had gotten used to having a different Phil around so I guess a new Dan wasn't that hard to believe.

I smiled as they apologized and kissed each other countless times looking utterly in love. I felt my smile drop slightly as I longed for that with my own Phil. I glanced up at him, only to find him already staring at me. 

When he saw me looking he looked away and blushed which made me smirk slightly. I wasn't sure what was going on with him but I think we might get somewhere. He's given me a big enough hint as it is.

"It is DEFINITELY not your fault." Phillip said sternly.

"Then it isn't yours either!" Daniel grinned.

"The feels!" Chris suddenly said dramatically and collapsed on the ground. PJ scoffed and Phil and I laughed.

"Thank you guys so much! How did you find each other?" Phillip asked.

"Right place, right time. It was a coincidence!" Daniel explained. Phillip smiled at him and then hugged everyone.

"Thank you." Phillip grinned and hugged Daniel close again.

"We'll leave you guys alone, we still have to shoot our collab video anyway." PJ grinned and dragged Chris away, followed by Phil and I. I was the last to leave the room and glanced back as they cuddled on the couch together whispering things in each other's ears.

That image alone was exactly what I wanted and I was determined not to be a coward about it. The video went by quick enough with a typical QnA, Fantastic Foursome style. Once we finished we all went back in the living room to see Daniel fast asleep next to Phillip who was staring into Space, arms wrapped tightly round his ... fiance?

"Phillip, we're going to head home, do you want to start leaving in ten minutes?" I suggested.

"Sounds good, thanks Dan." He smiled. The dead and miserable look was long gone and I could see the real him and the happiness which he possessed, it was a nice change.

"See you two at home." Phil smiled and we said our goodbyes to Chris and PJ before heading back to the apartment.

"Did Phillip say when he might get the machine done?" I asked, trying to make conversation.

"No, but I think he'll be finished soon ... do you think they'll just leave and not come back?" Phil asked, a frown on his cute face.

"I'm not sure ... I mean we've been through a lot together and if it's possible I'd like to get a glimpse of their world if possible. I don't want to ask until I'm positive it's ok though. Who would pass up seeing a different universe entirely?" I asked.

"I suppose I'd like to see it too, it's been a strange week. I think they'll stay for another day or two, Daniel will want to know more about this world, I'm sure. They're both curious scientists remember?" Phil smiled.

"Yeah that's probably correct, I keep forgetting that they're quite different from us."

"I suppose, but appearance and personality wise there doesn't seem to be many differences." 

"Well I want to know more about their world." I stated.

"Me too, shame we can't tell anyone. We'd be millionaire's for discovering our duplicates and having a universe jump machine to prove it." Phil chuckled.

"We need to discuss that with Phillip. Once their gone should we destroy it? I mean, maybe they want to return but maybe it's no so smart to have something so life changing in the basement of our apartment building?" I explained.

"That's a good point, we'll ask Phillip about it later." Phil agreed.

---

It wasn't long before we made it back to the flat and Phil's keys were jangling about as he looked for the right one. Eventually he found it and slotted it in, successfully opening the door. Once we got jackets and shoes off I headed to the kitchen to start making coffee, it had been a long day.

Once it was ready I brought it into the living room where Phil was sat on the sofa. He had a concentrated frown on his face as he flicked through channels on the TV. I placed his mug on the table in front of him, temporarily snapping out of his concentration to take a sip.

"Anything good on?" I asked.

"No, not really ... wait master chef is on." Phil suggested.

"Might as well, will be making dinner soon." I shrugged. I watched him as he clicked on the right program then settled back into the sofa, letting out a sigh and sipping his coffee. For some reason I couldn't take my eyes off him and ignored Master chef completely.

Should I do it now?

If I do, what should I do?

Did I get the wrong messages earlier?

Surely he was talking about me when he was so close right?

I was getting angry at my paranoia, it always brought ridiculous doubts to mind that I didn't even have to consider. Phil soon undoubtedly noticed me staring and turned to meet my and we held a long intense stare as if searching each other for answers.

When he looked me directly in the eyes I felt the paranoia go away and thought, "Fuck it" and leaned forward, not going to waste anymore time with that shit. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and kissed him hard and hungrily. A kiss I'd desired for a few years now.

He kissed me back with equal roughness and desire which made all insecurities wash away and for myself to get caught up in the moment. "Took you long enough." Phil breathed between a break before locking lips again.

"You can talk." I chuckled breathily on our next  break but crawled closer and on top of him, kissing him passionately. Phil made a grunt as I pinned him against the arm of the sofa and continued to attack his mouth with my own. 

When i felt his tongue prod at my lips I felt overjoyed and didn't hesitate in letting him in and moaned when he explored the territory.

"Oh ... are we interrupting something?" I heard Phil say and I frowned, pulling away and looking towards the door. I blushed when I saw Daniel and Phillip standing, grinning in the doorway.

"No ... no." I stuttered, climbing off Phil and flushing bright red.

"Hey Phil can Daniel and I use your room? Something tells me you two will be sharing tonight and I don't think we can both fit upstairs in the office." Phillip asked.

"Yeah sure go ahead." Phil replied, smiling but also blushing. Once they left the room I cringed at the awkward silence that fell over us.

"I'm going to start dinner." I stuttered and smiled at Phil who winked at me. I laughed because Phil wasn't one for cheeky gestures such as that and I loved it.

I started cooking a korma for all of us when I felt arms slide around my waist. I jumped at first but then relaxed into the touch. I felt lips graze my ear and then teeth nibble on the lobe, making me sigh and forget about cooking.

"Does this mean you finally grew a pair?" Phil whispered, making me laugh and snap back into reality.

"You could have said something too y'know." I pointed out.

"I always saw you as the one to do something about it but looks like you needed a bit of persuasion." Phil whispered and trailed his lips from my ear down my neck and kissing the sensitive skin there.

"Phil not now, I have to cook the food." I breathed, barely able to form a coherent sentence.

"Not until you ask me out formally." He mumbled against my skin before nipping at it. I let out a quiet moan before turning around and putting a small amount of distance between us so I could ask him face to face.

"Phil Lester will you do the honor of going on a date with me and then possibly becoming my boyfriend?" I asked.

"Depends how good the date is ... but alright." He smiled, making me shake my head and smile back.

"Whatever, I need to finish this." I explained and went back to slicing the raw chicken laid out on the chopping board.
