Disclaimer: I do not own Dan & Phil.


Phil got out of the tub wondering who in the world would be at his door. He wasn't expecting any visitors and wasn't planning on any packages coming. And he wasn't being loud or obnoxious so he knew it wouldn't be one of the neighbors complaining...He was baffled.

He shook his head to clear it and threw a robe on before heading out to the front door. His hair was lying in his face and his body was soaking wet, but he didn't care. As far as he was concerned, whoever was at the door could suck one if they had any qualms-they came unplanned and he was taking a bath dammit!

He unlocked the door, perhaps louder than necessary and pulled it open to see who was on the other side.


Dan was so nervous he couldn't move but as soon as he saw Phil, he surprised even himself by throwing his body at Phil's to entangle him in a huge hug.

"Phil! Oh my God Phil, I missed you so damn much!" He didn't let go of Phil, not even to shut the door. He just maneuvered the two of them so he could kick the hunk of wood back into place.

Eventually Phil gathered his voice again, and when he did Dan found that no other sound would even begin to compare to the perfect symphony that was Phil's voice.

"Dan? What are you doing here? How'd you get here?" Dan let the other pull away just enough to see him and smiled.

"I took the train because I knew that you took tomorrow off so we could see each other. I didn't want to wait so I came here now instead of in another fourteen hours. I figured I could spend the night." He dropped his bag down next to the couch and kicked his shoes next to it.

"You never were a fan of shoes." Dan laughed with him.

"No, I'm still a huge hater of the damn things. Effort to put on, effort to take off...So much effort." They finally pulled apart, both too stunned to do much more. They were both astonished that they were really in the presence of the other once again. And then Phil started laughing.

"You're soaked Dan. Come on, let's get you into some clean clothes." He grabbed Dan and as he passed the bathroom, Dan stopped him.

"I was thinking we might be able to finish that bath of yours, actually." Phil blushed and Dan waited for him to recover. It only took a moment.

"Okay, okay fine. But it'll need new water, it'll be stone cold by now." Dan let Phil pittle with the fixtures while he peeled the soaking clothes off of himself. It occurred to him that Phil probably never dried off in the first place.

When the water was hot and the bubbles were foaming, Dan climbed into the tub and waited for Phil. Eventually they situated themselves to Phil was holding Dan, even though the bathtub was large enough for the two of them to be sitting on either end comfortably. They just needed to be reassured that the other was really there.

They talked about everything and anything that came to mind and eventually Phil asked the question Dan had been hoping he wouldn't ask.

"What was the last thing you dreamed about?" Dan felt himself blush violently and he his his face in Phil's chest. Phil, never one to notice the big things but who always noticed the small, managed to notice the complete one-eighty in Dan's behaviour.

"Dan?" Dan muffled his words into the silky smooth skin and hoped that Phil would blow it off. It didn't work. "Dan, it can't be that bad."

"But it was! It was terrible! You were being so mean and cruel and un-innocent and I didn't know what to do; actually I couldn't do anything at all! It was frustrating beyond belief and I swear to every deity ever thought of, known, created, or existed I will kill you if you ever decide to use one of those blasted things on me. Ever!"

He saw that Phil was taken aback by his sudden outburst, and he knew that the older man wouldn't understand half of his gibberish. It was sheer luck that Phil caught him mumbling 'damn bloody cockrings' under his breath, a glare set on the wall.

Phil laughed. "Dan, did you really think that I'd use one of those on you?" He looked up.

"Well, no actually but it was a dream!"

"Well, I hate to burst your bubble but you're wrong. I'd definitely use one given the chance." His laughter turned into a groan as Dan grabbed his member under the hot water. "Dan..."

"Phil..." He loved mimicking the older man, and he did so now with ease.

"Dan, please..." Dan just kissed him before mentally noting that the two of them were standing up and drying each other off rather quickly before he was pulled into another embrace. The next time he opened his eyes, he was being tossed onto Phil's couch rather unceremoniously.

"You sleep here tonight." Phil walked away, only to reappear shortly after with a pair of boxers and pajama bottoms. "You can sleep in these, I just know that you forgot your pajamas again." He smiled softly before walking into the bathroom and shutting the door firmly.

"Well damn. I wanted to get laid." He heard Phil's voice echo down to him.

"Not until we pick out a bed!" Dan laughed.


When Phil woke up, he didn't remember Dan showing up the day before right away. He got up and stretched before walking to the kitchen to get something to eat and halfway down the hallway was when it dawned on him that Dan was in the living room on the couch. He blushed and looked down at his boxers before shrugging. He'd have to get over his bashfulness sooner or later so he just kept walking.

He poured himself a bowl of cereal and opened the fridge to get some milk, only to find there was none left. He sighed and ate it dry anyway while he got himself a glass of juice instead.

Eventually Dan woke up and Phil heard him go to the bathroom before heading back to the kitchen and hugging Phil tightly who returned the hug.

"Dan?" His voice shook slightly as Dan looked up at him.

"Yes Phil?"

"I just wanted to know when you thought you'd move in with me...if that's what you want..." He trailed off uncertainly.

"Of course I want to! I never want to be away from you. I don't think I could live with myself if I didn't. I want to be with you Phil, and it's implied that living with the person you want to be with is involved." Phil nodded.

"I'm not quite sure I understand exactly what you just said but I'm fairly certain that meant you want to live with me."

Phil hugged him at a complete loss for words after that, just happy that he could hold Dan in his arms forever.
