Phil Lester answered paced around his room, hands wild through his hair as he dug through his contacts to find his best friend's number. Finally finding the C's and clicking on Chris' name, he pressed the phone to his ear and waited for him to answer.

As a fireman, Chris was always on call, day and night he needed to be ready. So when Chris answered on the second dial, Phil wasn't surprised, that man's phone was on his hip 24/7.

"Lester, how goes it?" He asked from the other end of the line, his cheery voice ringing through Phil's ear. The other man smiled, letting out a sigh and sitting at the end of his and Dan's bed. 

The brunet was in the shower downstairs, so Phil didn't have much time until he got out. "I don't have a lot of time, and I know you don't either, so I'll make this quick. But, I think Dan's the one, and I wanted to know what you thought of him before I did anything." Phil rushed out, ear perked up to listen for when the water stopped downstairs.

"Do you love him?"

"So much, oh my goodness, Chris. I don't think I've ever felt this way about someone before and I know that sounds disgusting and high schooler-ish, but there's something about him that's so alluring and loveable and he brightens my whole day. Nothing like Haillie, he's there for me... and, and for Ant. Anthony loves him, he was so excited to have two dads." Phil chuckles, looking down at his socked feet. 

"So Ant likes him? He understands clearly that you and Dan are together?"

"Yeah. I explained it to him, he got it instantly. He was so happy, Chris."

"Have you told your parents?"

"My dad knows, he showed up at the court hearing while Dan was up and explained our relationship. I don't care about my dad though, I still have to tell my mom even though I'm sure she's gotten the message."

"Are you, ready, Phil? He's still a teenager, technically. Do you think that he is ready to settle down? Do you know about his family? How is the situation with his parents? Does he love you as much as you love him? He is for real about you and Anthony. You gave up your marriage for this kid. Is HE ready? Are YOU ready for what the kids are going to say to Ant at school? Is HE ready for everything that comes with marriage, only being with one person for the rest of your life- hopefully? Not only are you going to grow with him but he still has to grow up. Can you handle that?"

"I know about his parents, they aren't in the picture anymore. He's got his head on straight, he isn't worried about drinking and friends and social media, he's trying to pave a way for himself in the world. I don't think he's had a way to be an open teenager- but neither have I and when I'm with him, I just feel like a kid again. And I know he does too. You haven't seen the way he holds my hand in public and talks about me to his friends, like I'm his whole world, like I'm his safe place, Chris. You should have seen the smile on his face when Ant said he was excited to have two dads, he almost started crying. You haven't heard the conversations we have a night where he just spills his whole heart to me- things he hasn't told anyone before. He told me he likes to read and that he's working a story to keep himself motivated through the summer. He has passions and dreams and I only want to see him succeed. And I know he wants that for me, too."

Chris was silent on the other end of the line.

"What do you think, Chris?" The water downstairs shuts off. 

"When I met him the other day, he seemed... sturdy. He seemed like he was ready for you and everything that came with you. The way he looked at you when you weren't looking, looked like he was trying to memorize your features for a Da Vinci painting. He looked at you like you were his David. I like him a lot and I think you should go for it. I just wanted to make sure you were okay, with him. And I only want you happy, you know."

"I know." Phil smiled, he heard the bathroom door shut closed, Dan would be coming upstairs soon.

"Do you have the ring yet?"

"Yeah," Phil said, looking down at the wedding ring that rested in the velvet box in his left hand. He closed it quickly, turning around and slipping it under his pillow. 

"Go for it."

"Okay." Phil smiled, he could hear Dan's footsteps seconds away from the door.

"Later skater," Chris said just as the boy walked through the door, his hair damp and already curling. He was dressed in grey sweatpants and a T-shirt that had the black words Perfect Circle written across it.

"Bye." Phil ended the call and let his phone fall against the mattress, smiling up at his boyfriend.

"Who was that?" Daniel asked, shoving his finger in his ear to try and get the water out.

"Oh, just Chris." Phil leaned back against the bed, using his hands to prop his head up.

"What's he up to?"

"Saving kittens from trees." Phil smiles. Dan nods, moving over to the bed and crawling over Phil's body, hands on both sides of the older man's head. He leans down and kisses him softly on the lips. He sits on Phil's midriff, pulling away and running his hands through Phil's hair. He plays with the strands like a cat, waving pieces in Phil's eyes.

The older man laughs, badding Daniel's hands away. "What's the plan for today?" Dan asks, cocking his head to the side. 

Phil slips his hand under his pillow, fisting the velvet box in his palm and taking a deep breath. With a smile, he hears Chris's words through his mind, Go for it.

"Uh, actually I was hoping you would-" he pulls the box up and in front of the two of them, flicking it open in one swift motion. "marry me?"

Dan leans back, hands flying to his mouth. Phil feels like he's soaring even though he's grounded, his heart leaps from his chest and into Daniel's hands and suddenly he has a quick pain that Dan might say no, but then the brunet pulls his hands away and with tears in his eyes he says: "Yes. Holy fucking balls, yes!" 

Phil sits up, Dan still sitting on his lap, he pulls the ring out of the box and Dan extends his hand. He slips on the golden band, Dan's whole body trembling against Phil's. The older man was also shaking, all of them something short of an earthquake.

Dan laughs breathlessly before taking Phil's face in his hands and smashing their lips together, this time longer and deeper and electric. Phil tosses the box aside and wraps his arms around Dan's waist tightly, pressing his chest against his own. Then, without warning, Phil flips Dan onto his back and buries his head in Dan's neck, kissing all up his jaw and to his face with a smile on his lips. He kisses every part of Dan's face, every freckle, every eyelash. And when he pulls away they're both red-faced and smiling so hard their cheeks hurt.

"You're just too good to be true." Phil murmurs, placing his hand on Dan's cheek, the boy nuzzles into it.

"Can't take my eyes off you."
