Prompt: Dan is afraid of the dark and when there is a power cut during a storm Dan starts having a panic attack but not for long because Phil comes to the rescue.
Warnings: None apart from a bit of swearing.
It was simply Dan’s shitty luck, there had been an unexpected storm and the power had cut. Luckily Dan always keeps a bright battery powered torch beside his bed for these exact occasions… But obviously, with Dan’s amazingly crappy luck, the batteries were dead.
He was currently shaking with an immense amount of fear consuming him more and more by the minute. He was quietly sobbing in attempt to not awaken Phil, he didn’t want Phil to see him like this, crying like a baby, gasping for air, most likely redder than a tomato as his body temperature went up and down faster than a drunk moth.
It felt like hours he had been sat there, crying, whimpering and shaking. But what had felt like hours was in fact 20 minutes.
However Dan, in his current state, had lost track of time hours ago. And I know what your thinking, why doesn’t he just use the torch on his phone? Well his phone was across the room on charge and Dan was paralysed with fear, stuck like glue in his current position. Fear and dread wracked mercilessly through his sleep deprived body as tears fell down his face onto the pillow below.
Meanwhile Phil had just woken up in desperate need to go to the toilet. He stumbled to his light switch flicking it on and off confused as to why it wasn’t turning on. All of his questions were answered soon enough as a loud crack of thunder went off out side frightening Phil so much that he managed to smack his head against the door. He sighed and rubbed his head as a grabbed his phone clicked on the torch and stumbled toward the bathroom. Once he had finished he was on the way back to his room when something hit Phil. Dan is afraid of the dark. Fuck. Phil slowly opened Dan’s door and quietly stepped in.
Dan saw the light and his door opening he whined loudly attempting to get Phils attention but unable to form a sentence still consumed but fear.
Phil turned his head at the sound of Dan’s desperate and broken whines and whimpers. He shone the torch in the direction of the sound and saw a site that shattered his heart into a million pieces.
Dan was curled in a ball shaking and shivering, his eyes were blood shot and his face was red and tear stained. “Phil” Dan managed to whisper weakly. Phil rushed toward his broken looking flatmate and shuffled under the covers. Dan took that opportunity to cling to Phils chest and his sobs grew louder at the relief that Phil was here. “Its okay, I’m here now, ssshhh..” Phil whispered gently placing his phone on the bedside table with the torch still on facing up to dimly light the room.
“Phil?” Dan whispered, voice hoarse from crying. “Yes Dan?” Phil whispered back, gently wrapping his arms around Dan and playing with his curly hair affectionately.
“Stay with me” he looked up at Phil, tears still falling. “Of course” Phil smiled sweetly and kissed Dan’s forehead. Dan’s heart swelled at his loving gesture.
After an hour or two they both fell into a peaceful sleep, still wrapped up in one another’s arms.
It was Phil who awoke first, he was rather confused at first as to where he was his eyes blurry still as he hadn’t put on his glasses yet. He reached across to the bedside table and placed them on his face. Once everything was focused Phil had noticed he was in Dan’s room. Then everything clicked into place, his brain had “awoken” so to speak. He felt a weight on his chest and looked down to see Dan laying peacefully upon his chest, letting out quiet breaths. Phil smiled and his stomach fluttered with the feelings he tries so hard to hide. God he loves this boy.
Just then Dan stirred yawning and looking up at Phil, he blushed as he noticed their intertwined bodies. Phil smiled at him and ran his fingers through his soft brown locks. Dan shivered at the contact and smiled back at Phil.
It was strange, something was different. They both lay their staring lovingly into each others eyes and something snapped in Phil, all his years of restraint had gone down the toilet in that one moment. He leaned in for a kiss as did Dan. When their lips met it was like electric, it was like their souls finally connected. They both had morning breath and their lips were dry but neither of them cared. All the passion, love and adoration came out clear as day in that one powerful kiss.
When they broke away they both smiled at one another then cuddled up tighter together. There was no need for “I love yous” it was already clear to both of them. The fell back into a blissful slumber, feeling safe in each others arms…
