Our Llama, Lion Love

"Hmm, Can You Use Your Bikini Now?"

Before long it was all sorted.

Sage was on decorating, Phil was in charge of the other presents and Dan was organising the big surprise presents.

After it had been finished, they all got together at Dan and Phil's apartment to examine each other's efforts.

"Phil! What the hell is this meant to be?" Sage said lifting up a present, the wrapping had corners hanging out and was bulky and creased.

"Its the thought that counts, Rachel will appreciate it!" Phil reasoned and Dan shook his head, and then mimicked Phils words to Sage. Sage giggled and Phil raises his eyebrows at her. "Dan," Phil muttered egerntly. "Did you sort out the you-know-what?" Dan smiled and rubbed his hand together. "Just call me...-" he trailed off thinking of a funny name. "Mr.Organisy," he shrugged at his friends unimpressed looks. "What about you Sage, how did you go," Dan turned to her. She grinned and pulled up a giant basket of streamers, Doritos, Oreos, balloons, tinsel, a banner and fairy lights.

Then they heard the slap of slippers on the stairs outside, Sage waved her hands around gesturing at Dan and Phil and they stuffed the presents and her basket down the side of the couch.

"Act naturally!" Sage hissed at them

Dan lay down awkwardly on the couch and Phil placed a hand behind his head, striking a pose.

"You guys are hopeless" Sage said irritated but placed a fake smile across her face. Rachel pulled the door open, her hair was pulled up in a high pony tail and she was wearing one of Phils shirts which was oversized on her and pyjama shorts peeped out from underneath.

"You guys ok?" Rachel questioned her head cocked "I heard you rustling around"

"Ermm, yeah, we um were just playing-" Sage looked desperately around the room and luckily Phil stepped forward and produced Monopoly "-Yes thats right Monopoly" She shot a thankful look at Phil and returned hers back to Rachel, who looked confused and unconvinced.

"Okaaay, can I play?" Rachel asked hesitantly

"NO!" Dan, Phil and Sage shouted in unison. Rachel looked taken aback and Sage breathed deeply to stay calm.

"Um no, You have to rest up for your birthday tomorrow so come on get off to bed, I'll be there soon!" Sage quickly blurted out. Rachel yawned, nodded, quickly pecking him on the cheek, then closed the door and slumped back to her bed. Sage exhaled in relief and then quickly scooped up the presents and a thin, envelope.

"I better head off or Rachel won't go to sleep" Sage sighed

"Ok see ya Sagey, I'll wake you and Dan up tomorrow alright" Phil smiled at her and then headed off to his bedroom

"Nawww Sageyy cant you stay for a little while please?" Dan pleaded. Sage wavered on her feet and then agreed because she couldnt resist his sweet expression. Dan cupped her chin in his warm hand and then pulled her against his chest. The edges of the present poked them in the chest and Sage laughed placing the presents down then jammed her lips back over Dans. He led her towards the couch and then she fell down ontop of him, her lips moving against his passionately. His hands traced up her arm and down her back, softly caressing her skin. Sage pulled away and Dan placed sweet, short kisses against her cheek, until Sage rolled over and then slowly drifted off to sleep.

The sun peeked over the top of the large, London buildings and light shone through the blinds of a apartment. Phil was shuffling around the floor cold under his feet and the he gently opened the door to Dans room. Posters covered the wall and in the middle was the black duvet of Dans bed. Phil pulled the blanket back and saw a strand of lightning blue hair peeking out against the black pillow.
