Phanfiction Thread (danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil)

[MaiMai]

*waves nervously* Hey! So, anyone on here who knows me will know that I've been sort of obsessed with Dan and Phil's videos for about a year now. I don't really know if there are many other fans of them around here, but I thought I would make a thread for my Phan drabbles/longer fics, since I have so many written already!

I thought I would start off with a couple of drabbles that I wrote recently.

So...enjoy, and anticipate much more fluffiness in the near future?

Little Bear

"I think you look adorable!"

"I thidk you're taki'g advadtage," Dan grumbled, glaring at Phil stonily. Unphased, the other man merely giggled and adjusted the hat he had forced Dan into wearing, tugging playfully at the ears.

"We've got to make sure you stay warm. And this way, you really are my little Bear," He kissed Dan on the cheek, hot with the combination of a blush and slight fever.

"I hate you," Dan muttered, folding his arms and looking away deliberately. "Let's just go already, please."

"Hey, don't be like that," admonished Phil, poking the tip of Dan's nose with a grin. "You'd hate me more if I let you get-"

"hiih'pshyuu!"

"Bless you. If I let you get pneumonia."

This didn't seem to appease Dan much as they traipsed down the stairs, him rubbing his nose and wishing he had the conviction to put his foot down and tell Phil that he was twenty-four and was not going to wear a teddy bear hat, thank you very much.

He didn't. Phil wasn't the sort of person it was easy to say no to.

It was freezing outside, well below zero. Dan shivered and pulled the hat further down over his curly hair in spite of himself.

"Aren't you glad I made you wear it now?"

A small cough escaped Dan as he rolled his eyes, "Dod't push it, Phil."

New Year

10...9...8...

Their grip on each other's hands tightened, their shoulders drew closer together, the heat from each other the only thing keeping them warm. They were one couple in a sea of people, all watching for the same thing.

7...6...5...

The chanting became louder with each passing second, almost deafening. It wasn't long now.

4...3...2..1...

There was a spectacular explosion, colours erupting into the sky, the whistle of rockets and the crackle of their implosions. The crowd was illuminated by a dozen different hues.

"Happy New Year, Phil," Dan smiled, eyes soft, leaning in for a kiss. When Phil didn't react, however, he drew back, confused and a little hurt.

"Phil? What's wrong? Did I do something?"

"N-No, I-" He jerked rather desperately to one side, burying his face in the crook of an elbow. "heh'TSHEW! hep'tCCHH!"

"Right, I forgot about your thing with bright lights. Bless you," Dan laughed as Phil resurfaced sheepishly, but was quickly shut up by their belated kiss.

"Happy New Year, Daniel."

Okay can I just say that these were absolutely amazing

I can totally imagine Dan being grumpy and Phil taking advantage of his illness to make him look cute xD

And Phil being sensitive to bright lights? OH MY GODS ITS PERFECT HEADCANON ACCEPTED.

I hope you write some more

[Sophie<3]

Ohhh YES! I think I'm probably not as much of a Phan as you, because - let's face it - nobody is... BUT I am growing more and more fond of them and their adorableness and I got really excited when I saw this thread! And I wasn't disappointed! THE CUTENESS!

He kissed Dan on the cheek, hot with the combination of a blush and slight fever.

I mean, this? It's so tangible somehow! I just love the phrasing! <3

Phil wasn't the sort of person it was easy to say no to.

Hah. So true. And Dan not having the heart to "put his foot down". Funny and so cute!

"Dod't push it, Phil."

And the second one... D'aww! Nice one, Phil! And Dan getting all worried that he did something wrong! Oh, and Phil calling Dan "Daniel"?

Pleeease give us more with these two, okay? Thanks!

OMG thank you!!! Grumpy Dan is one of my favourite things to write, ahaha xD And Phil being photic, with the light-coloured eyes and everything, it just seems right! I'm so glad you enjoyed them! <33

Heyy! I'm sure there's someone that's as obsessed with them as me...or maybe...not... *slinks away in shame*

But thank you so so much, Sophie! I love Phil calling Dan 'Daniel', haha!

Well...here are some more drabbles! These are just a couple I wrote recently. All the titles are lyrics from Owl City songs (my guilty music pleasure ). Please tell me if you enjoy~!

All my clothes smell like you/'Cause your favourite shade is navy blue

Phil straightened up, frowning.

About him was a scene of destruction; the entire contents of his wardrobe strewn across his bedroom, t-shirts hanging off the edge of his bed, black jeans lying tangled on the floor.

The one garment he was actually looking for seemed to have spontaneously disappeared. He could have sworn he had hung it up that very morning - only now, it was nowhere to be seen.

Giving up the solitary search, he wandered over to Dan's room, thinking that it might have gotten accidentally put away with his clothes or something.

He knocked softly before entering, "Dan, have you seen my..." Phil trailed off.

Dan was sleeping, curled up on his side, breathing quiet and snuffly. An oddly familiar navy blue hoodie was wrapped around him, sleeves pulled over his hands, hood falling over his curly hair. When Phil entered he had stirred, blinking at him with impossibly drowsy eyes.

"Mmnn...Phil...?"

"Sorry, sorry," Phil apologised quickly. "I was just looking for my hoodie, I didn't realise you were sleeping."

"Oh, umb," Beneath the sleepiness, Dan suddenly looked bashful. "Sorry...did you wadt it back...?"

"No," Phil shook his head with a smile. "You look cuter in it than I do, anyway."

The bed dipped a little as he sat down on the edge. Dan looked at him in confusion, noting how he was watching him expectantly.

"What?"

"Dan..." He only ever stole Phil's clothes when he was sick.

"I'b fide," Dan huffed, but a second later dipped his head down into a sleeve. "hhahh-hah'ihshCHUU!"

"Bless you. I definitely don't want it back now," Phil teased, laughing when Dan gave him a distinctly grumpy look. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I'll go and make you some tea."

I'd rather pick flowers/Instead of fights

"So...we're okay, right?" Dan asked hesitantly. That morning had dissolved rather quickly into a massive fight, culminating in Dan storming out of the apartment.

Phil shook his head in exasperation, "Stop asking that, Dan. We're fine. Look at me."

Gently, he lifted Dan's chin so that they were making eye contact.

"We are fine, I p-promise-heh'ngktchew!" He narrowly avoided sneezing on Dan, twisting to the side quickly. That most likely wouldn't have made their make up go any better.

"Bless you."

"Thanks," Phil sniffled and started to continue, but the effort proved to be in vain. "hh-hi'etSHEW! hehh'tchew! eh'tsssh!"

"Bless you, bless you, bless you!" Dan exclaimed, then raised one hand to cover his mouth slowly, an expression of dawning horror forming across his face. "You're allergic to flowers, aren't you?"

Phil frowned, "Yeah. Why?" He scrunched up his nose.

"Oh my god, I can't believe I forgot."

"You bought me flow-hhih'ehshew!-flowers?"

Dan shifted uncomfortably, embarrassed, "Yeah. To say sorry for, you know, storming out...but I can't believe I forgot."

"Don't be sorry. I think it's sweet, even if it was...misguided," Phil chuckled, pecking Dan on the lips.

The stars lean down to kiss you/And I lie awake and miss you

Phil was in Florida with his family.

Dan couldn't sleep.

But those two factors were absolutely not linked, he told himself firmly. It was this stupid cold that was the problem.

Dan had long since given up trying to find a position that was both comfortable and he could breathe in. He lay on his back, lips slightly parted as he breathed open-mouthed, staring up at the ceiling in the dark.

Were Phil here, he would reach across and hold his hand, maybe just listen to him breathing.

Only, the bed was empty except for him.

He sighed, which proved to be an ill-judged decision. His breathing stuttered and he curled into a ball as he coughed. If Phil was here, he would be rubbing his back, helping him sit up, whispering reassurances, perhaps fetching him a glass of water.

God, Dan missed him.

His breath faltered again in a small sob, which evolved into a few gasping breaths. "hhi'chshuu! hh'chyyu! -chhuuu! Ugh..."

The tissues were close, but still so far away, and Dan hadn't the energy to sit up and reach for them. Instead, shivering, he resigned himself to a long night.

A long, long night of lying awake and missing Phil.

I still feel your heart/Beat fast when you dance with me

"Care to dance?"

Phil gave Dan a look of bemusement, "Daniel, what-we're in public, what if-"

"Who cares? Come on, Phil!"

Lips slowly quirking up into a smile, Phil nodded. "Okay."

Dan took him by the hand and led him away from the pristine tables. There were already several other couples on the marble dance floor, swaying gently to the music of the live band.

He placed one hand on the small of Phil's back, the other taking his hand, beginning to guide him in a slow dance.

"I didn't know this evening was going to involve dancing, too..."

They were cheek to cheek, heads resting on each others shoulders. Phil didn't think he could recall them ever having danced like this before, unless you counted them playing around in the kitchen.

"You smell so nice..." Dan murmured. Phil giggled softly.

"New cologne."

"Hmm. I like it," Dan replied, drawing in another breath. He couldn't quite put his finger on what it was; musky and woody, yet not overpowering.

They continued smoothly, until Dan stumbled, hesitating. Phil didn't mind - it wasn't as if he was any better a dancer - but when it happened a second time, he leant a little closer and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine, sorry."

He let it drop, but Dan was definitely distracted, even trembling a little in his arms.

"hhi-hih'ngkt!"

"Dan?"

"hah'ihgkt!-hh'xtchu!-hha'ntch!-hhi'nntchu!"

"Were those sneezes?"

They were still dancing, and Phil he could still feel Dan's shoulders shaking unsteadily.

"D-Doh...hiih'TSHUU!"

That one was less contained. Phil frowned, and decisively stopped.

"Bless you. Yes, they were. Do you need to sit down?"

Dan rubbed a hand at his nose, blushing. This close, Phil could clearly see that his eyes were red-rimmed and watering.

"Doh, I'mb fide. I just, I thidk I bmight b-beehh-ihTSHYU!-be a bit allergic to your colognde."

Phil smiled in exasperation, "C'mon, stubborn. I'll go and wash it off."

Bright eyes/In subtle variations of blue

"You're sick."

It's more of a statement than a question. Phil stares at Dan.

"How did you dknow? I hadd't eved said adythidg yet," he says hoarsely. In response, Dan merely shrugs.

"I've known you for a while," he shifts closer to Phil, pressing their foreheads together gently. "Either that, or I'm psychic. You're a bit hot, my little lion."

"D-Dand-hiehTSHEW!'

Dan sighs; the sound is resigned, yet affectionate.

"Sneeze on the person trying to help you, why don't you. Bless you," he hands Phil the tissue box from the coffee table. Sheepishly, Phil tears out a few to hold to his nose.

"I did try to warnd you..."

"I'm not angry about it, love," Dan reassures him, administering a kiss to each of his cheeks. "I'm going to get you some cold medicine from the kitchen, alright?"

He's not going to admit it, but Dan always knows when Phil's sick, when he's upset. It's because of his eyes.

He had first noticed it a few years ago. Phil's eyes change colour with his emotions. The change is subtle, yes, but Dan is practiced enough to be able to pick it up. More green for sadness, grey-blue for sickness, bright, stunning blue for happiness.

Dan has never told Phil this, and he doesn't think Phil is even aware of it himself.

It's just one more quirk about him he adores.

Oh man, so "Phan" is and/or was a word association with the Phantom of the Opera fandom since the late eighties slash early nineties (maybe earlier? but that was definitely before my time).

And every time I am fooled by this thread. "Oooh, Phanfiction! Awesome, that's so out of left fie-- oh."

I have no idea who Dan and Phil are but by dint of accidentally reading this several times, very cute nonetheless

[Lonewolf]

Yay, Owl City song references

[Kushami Suki Da!]

Im really into Phan lately (I blame tumblr). These drabbles are so cute! I can hear their voices reading the dialogue in my mind! So in-character!!

[nothingtolose2026]

YEEEEEESSSSS! Love, love, love Phan and I love the way you wrote them ☺️. Please continue!!!!

[TheWolfOfStone]

PHANFICTION!!! AAAAH!

*cough*

Oh man, these are all so adorable and I can totally picture all of these happening! This forum needs more Phanfiction!

Ahh! I had no idea it could refer to something else, I'm sorry for the misleading title! Thank you for taking the time to comment though!

Owl City is my guilty music pleasure, ahaha!

Thank you so much! I think they're quite difficult to write, for me at least, so that's such a compliment!

YEEEEEESSSSS! Love, love, love Phan and I love the way you wrote them ☺️. Please continue!!!!

Ahhh, thank you very much! <3 Phan is life!

PHANFICTION!!! AAAAH!

*cough*

Oh man, these are all so adorable and I can totally picture all of these happening! This forum needs more Phanfiction!

Oh my gosh, thank you! And I kinda agree on the Phanfiction thing!

Unfortunately I have no drabbles to offer this time round, because I have to admit, I'm sort of in two minds about continuing this thread. After the mention of the forum in the live show (!) and the book (!!!) I'm honestly a little nervous about posting more Phanfics on here. I guess we'll see.

[luckyleprechaun]

Wait, the forum was mentioned in the book?! Where?

It's on page 129, part of the AmazingPhil video trivia page. I totally died the first time I came across it, it freaked the hell out of me.

I SAW THIS YESTERDAY.

I was in Walmart with my mom and I asked if I could go to the books section. She said yes, so I searched the shelves and couldn't find it until we were about to leave. It was on the top shelf the whole time. *facepalms*

As soon as I found it, I flipped to the page and just stared at it for ages until I had to leave. It was so strange!

(So first Dan mentions the forum in a livestream and now Phil in a book? O_o)

[MaiMai]

Okay, I'm back already. I'm not gonna stop writing Phan any time soon, and we need some more of it around here, so why not?

For this one I just thought it would be cute to come up with a little back-story for the lack of blessings in videos, and yeah, this is what I ended up with. Enjoy?

Blush

“No, no, no, Phil, it’s that way-“

“I’m going that way!” Phil protested, continuing obstinately in the exact opposite of the direction Dan was indicating.

“I meant that way. As in, the way I’m actually signalling. With my hands,” Dan made a flamboyant display of directing Phil, fighting not to break out into a grin. His cynical exasperation was a key feature of their gaming videos, he felt. “That way-“

“Arrghh!” Frustrated, Phil fell back in his chair, controller slipping as he threw both hands into the air. “I wouldn’t have died if it wasn’t for you acting like one of those…air traffic conductors!”

“I think you mean air traffic controllers, Phil,” Dan laughed heartily, placing a consoling hand on his shoulder. “Bet you I can get further than you.”

“Bet you can’t.”

“Bet you I can at least run in the right bloody direction.”

Phil pouted, “I’d like to see you try, Daniel. Running in one direction is harder than it looks, you know,” he responded playfully.

“Oh, you are so on,” Dan giggled as he restarted the game; back to the beginning of the level – typical. Game designers never seemed to have the nous to place save points in areas that would actually be convenient to the gameplay.

He squinted at the screen, prepared to begin, and then hit pause. Phil, confused, turned to him.

“Why did you pause?”

“I, uhh…w-wait, I g-gotta-“ Dan held up one finger in reiteration, curling the other hand loosely into a fist before his face. As usual, Phil made a show of leaning away from him, watching covertly as his expression became all at once bleary and expectant.

“hhh…hh-hh’chshh!-ht’chshuu!” Briefly, Dan blinked, then continued as though nothing had happened, “Alright, let’s go.”

“Bless you,” Phil offered offhandedly, most of his attention now refocused on the screen before them, “Now let’s see if you can-…Dan?”

“Y-Yeah?” Dan didn’t make eye contact, making out as though he was deeply focused on the game, despite being visibly flustered and blushing furiously.

“You’re running in the wrong direction-did I do something wrong?” He frowned, regarding Dan curiously.

“N-No, you didn’t do, um. Nothing wrong, uh. Nothing,” Dan responded hurriedly. He cursed inwardly at the heat he could feel spreading across his cheeks.

This wasn’t exactly a subject he wanted to broach with Phil, not now, not ever, and certainly not whilst filming a video. It had been six years, and for the most part, he had adjusted to the concept of living with the youtuber that he had idolised for the majority of his teen years. It was just the odd thing, out of the blue, that rendered him a complete, blushing mess of a fanboy all over again – something he really should have gotten over by this point.

This seemed to be one of these moments.

Phil was still watching him, so he bit his lip and forced himself to concentrate on the game.

“Like I said, it’s, um, nothing. Just…don’t bless me in videos from now on, okay?”

Seriously, these two are SO HARD to capture in writing, but you wrote them so perfectly! It's just...hnnnnnnnnng.

I'll have fun trying to get to sleep after that.

*slides in shiftily*

Will I ever get the hang of updating this thread regularly? Maybe if someone could kindly pick me up and take me far away from university.

Hahaha, I know that feeling! So glad I'm not the only one!

Omg thank you, that is such a compliment! I've said it before, but I think they're really challenging to put into writing, so that really means a lot.

Alrighty, so I kinda had an idea for a series of drabbles (which means more after this one, and soon  ) based on certain things that Dan/Phil find maybe a little bit...challenging about each other. I just thought it would be fun to maybe explore the slightly less perfect aspects of a relationship... (and hopefully they might be a little bit funny? )

Anyways, here is the first one! Enjoy...?

 

Clothes Shopping

There are a lot of things that Phil adores about Dan, there honestly are. Equally, there are a few quirks that he could, at times, live without.

One of these is Dan’s love of clothes shopping. Ordinarily, Phil doesn’t actually mind it: he enjoys trying on new clothes.

But Dan takes it to a whole new level. He has an inexplicable incapability to take one, or even only several, items of clothing into a changing room. He finds out the maximum amount of items allowed by whichever shop they’re in – god help them if there’s no limit – and takes in as many as he possibly can, leaving Phil to wait for him with a bundle of extras, and rotating between them as he desires.

Phil has had enough experiences of Dan’s exuberant clothes shopping by now to begin demanding compensation for the amount of time he is forcibly dragged around shops. Generally, it takes the form of a milkshake or something equally delicious and forbidden, that he can sit and sip between Dan emerging from the changing rooms and demanding his opinion.

Today, it’s a honey latte. The coffee is because he’s really struggling to stay awake. The honey, not his favourite, but he chose it more in a futile hope that it might soothe his throat than for any other reason.

“What do you think of this one?”

Phil looks up to find Dan stood in front of him, fiddling with the sleeves of the latest shirt he’s chosen to model. This one is navy blue with electric blue flashes.

“It’s a bit bright for you, isd’t it?”

His voice sounds heavy and thick, and the eyes that he lifts to appraise Dan’s choice feel no less burdensome. Within the last half an hour he has gone from being sat perfectly upright in his seat to slumped as low as possible, head almost falling onto the arm of the chair.

“It is, yeah. I thought it might be okay with the navy, but…”

Dan does a quick check of himself in the mirror before shaking his head and retreating to trial the next one.

Alone, Phil sighs, and coughs reflexively. He has a fair amount of patience for these shopping trips on a good day. Today, it’s wearing thin, and the honey in the latte isn’t helping his throat at all.

He pulls off his glasses for a moment to rub at his tired eyes, just as Dan marches back out.

“I like this one. I think I like this one. Do you like it?”

Bemused, Phil blinks at the blur that stands before him.

“I cad’t tell, you’re all fuzzy.”

“That’s because your glasses are in your hand, you spork.”

“Oh-Oh yeah,” he gives a quiet laugh which rasps at the edges and sets them back on the bridge of his nose.

He’s glad he did. This shirt is much better. It’s a dark, charcoal grey, and the fabric is shot through with threads of silver which look almost like minute stars to his exhausted eyes.

“I like this ode,” he says decisively. Dan nods, but he seems a little self-conscious.

“Are you sure? You’re not just saying that? Because-“

“I’mb dnot just saying that,” Phil reassures him, “I love it. You look great, I probmise.” He smiles, and Dan grins back, until Phil’s smile falters and his drops just as fast.

“heh’tshieww!-heh’tssshh!”

He only narrowly avoids spilling his coffee on a bunch of shirts that would be so expensive if ruined that it doesn’t even bear thinking about. Wearily, he pushes his glasses back up and hunts for a tissue in his jacket pockets.

“Bless you.”

Dan’s voice is softer than he would like. Phil doesn’t want sympathy: he just wants this day to be over with, and he wants to go home and crawl back into bed and sleep until he can breathe through his nose again.

Sympathy is what he gets, though, whether he wants it or not.

“Hey. Are you still feeling awful?”

When he merely shrugs – the search proved unsuccessful, and he sniffles as he sits back in the chair – Dan’s eyes turn large and liquid.

“I’ve been dragging you around for hours, you should have said something…”

“Dand.”

“Yeah?”

“Please, please, feel guilty later and just buy the shirt already."

I'm going crazy!!!!!!!! Adorable!!! I can only pray you'll write more!!!!! you really captured the two of them!

[Sophie<3]

Ohhh my gosh, how did I manage to completely miss the updates in this gorgeous thread...? Wow, I'm a failure!  So, so sorry!

But it's also good for me, because now I got to read all these wonderful drabbles at once and right now I'm just...  

I loved all the teasing in "Blush"!  Especially this:

On ‎09‎.‎01‎.‎2016 at 0:33 AM, MaiMai said:

“Bet you I can at least run in the right bloody direction.”

Aaand, of course...

On ‎09‎.‎01‎.‎2016 at 0:33 AM, MaiMai said:

“I, uhh…w-wait, I g-gotta-“ Dan held up one finger in reiteration, curling the other hand loosely into a fist before his face. As usual, Phil made a show of leaning away from him, watching covertly as his expression became all at once bleary and expectant.

“hhh…hh-hh’chshh!-ht’chshuu!” Briefly, Dan blinked, then continued as though nothing had happened, “Alright, let’s go.”

Lovely gradual build-up here. Super adorable.  And then Dan pretending like nothing even happened... awww!

And the fact that he's so embarrassed about being blessed by Phil in a video? Somehow, that seems really in character and shy/embarrassed/ generally self-conscious Dan just does things to me I can't even properly explain!  

As for 'Clothes Shopping', I really enjoyed the entire premise, with Dan loving shopping so much and Phil being somewhat irritated, but of course trying not to show it for Dan's sake.

This made me laugh so much! I can just see Dan doing this to poor Phil! And the 'god help them if there's no limit', omg!  

On ‎04‎.‎04‎.‎2016 at 0:40 AM, MaiMai said:

“I like this one. I think I like this one. Do you like it?”

And this, too!  It's probably what I'm like when I go shopping, too, though. Like, I have a hard time making up my mind when it comes to fashion. So "I like this one. I think I like this one" seems like something I might say. And poor Phil is so sick and exhausted, poor baby.

On ‎04‎.‎04‎.‎2016 at 0:40 AM, MaiMai said:

My heart! Dan actually tearing up here is too adorable, help!  And Phil's reaction kills me! Like "Yeah, thanks for the sympathy, but no thanks, I really just want to go home."  

 

And all those old drabbles killed me, too!! Especially the one where Dan wears Phil's sweater and Phil knows he only wears his clothes when he's sick!  And the one where Dan misses Phil and is struggling to fall asleep alone and with his cold, gahh!!

So, yes, I just stumbled upon all this cuteness and I'm absolutely delighted!  I'll try not to miss your next updates, kay? Again, really sorry it took me so long!

And all those old drabbles killed me, too!! Especially the one where Dan wears Phil's sweater and Phil knows he only wears his clothes when he's sick!  And the one where Dan misses Phil and is struggling to fall asleep alone and with his cold, gahh!!

So, yes, I just stumbled upon all this cuteness and I'm absolutely delighted!  I'll try not to miss your next updates, kay? Again, really sorry it took me so long!

And oh my gosh, Sophie...! I can't believe I totally missed your lovely comment for so long! Thank you so much...! QwQ I am so, so glad that you enjoyed them, and the older ones too! I love you too!

Anyway, I kinda had a burst of inspiration after they uploaded their Sims video this evening, so this is kinda based on some of the dialogue from it, with them talking about the "romantic breakfast in bed" and such. (Also, I can't believe I actually used Dan's expression "fricking zazzed" in a drabble. )

Hope you enjoy~! Comments (and requests!) are appreciated.

 

Breakfast In Bed

Honestly. You mention breakfast in bed one time, in a Sims video, and Dan doesn’t shut up for the rest of the evening.

It’s genuinely not something Phil has ever even considered. As a couple, they’ve never been quite that romantic. A little soppy, perhaps, but their version of affection is mostly confined to teasing and good-natured taunting of each other.

Dan’s hint-dropping over the course of the evening, combined with the way he’s been looking at Phil over the last few days – it’s just unfair. He knows full well how weak Phil is to his stupid puppy eyes, even under normal circumstances; when Dan is sick, it’s even worse. His doleful brown eyes plus a sleepy blink and unusually pink cheeks are too much for him to bear.

All of this is why Phil finds himself, the following morning, awake long before Dan. It’s around nine am when he drags himself out of bed – it’s been said before that Phil is not a morning person, and it’s painfully true. He gives the still slumbering Dan an envious glance before he traipses to the kitchen, yawning and dragging his feet all the way.

When he reaches it, he has to shade his eyes with one hand. Clumsy with sleep, though, he does so a little too enthusiastically and almost knocks his glasses sideways.

Coffee is definitely called for, he decides. Nothing in the way of cooking can be done before a cup of coffee.

One mug turns into six, and by the time he comes to taking out the frying pan, he’s – to use one of Dan’s more ridiculous expressions – fricking zazzed. He has to catch himself before he switches on the radio to dance to, remembering just in time that Dan is just down the hall, still comfortably enveloped in sleep.

Instead, he hums under his breath as he cooks, waffles and pancakes and followed by a vat of hot chocolate. (He still maintains that his hot chocolate is far superior to Dan’s.)

Finally, he arranges everything on a tray and bounces – carefully enough not to spill everything – back into Dan’s room.

“Dan. Dannnnn. Wake up,” Phil coaxes, gentle at first, yet progressively louder when he gets no response save for something between a croak and a whine. “Dan, come on, Dan!”

“Ph’l…g’way…”

The mumble is almost lost beneath the mounds of blankets piled upon his bed. Phil pouts, and tries again, this time wrapping one arm around Dan’s waist.

“Dannn, c’mon…”

“Phiiilllll.”

This time it’s a full on, bratty whine, and Phil finds himself staring into faintly accusing brown eyes. They would be more accusatory, he knows, were they not fogged with sleep.

“I w’dda sleep. G’way…” Dan slurs drowsily, his eyes falling shut as if he’s falling asleep mid-sentence. No, not falling asleep, Phil realises, observing his eyebrows furrow and that specific, tell-tale crinkle appear between them. “hh…hts’shuu!...hh-tsh’uu!”

“Bless you,” Phil says, though he pouts indignantly, “You wouldn’t shut up about how much you wanted breakfast in bed, and when I make it for you, you won’t even get out of bed!”

Dan blinks, “You bmade breakfast for bme?”

“Of course I did,” Phil grins, losing the grouchy façade immediately. He can’t bring himself to stay irritable. “Here,” he clambers down to grab the tray from the foot of the bed, whilst Dan pushes himself into an upright position, looking bemused.

“Pandcakes and waffles?”

“I’ll eat the pancakes if you don’t want them.”

“Dno! Dno, I wasd’t-it’s perfect, and, I, uh-”

Phil thinks, for a mistaken moment, that his act of chivalry might have even rendered Dan speechless, only then he turns to muffle a sneeze into one shoulder. “hh-tshchu!-guh. What I was tryidg to say was thadk you.”

He smiles at Phil, who in turn wonders how his smile can be so bright, under the hair that’s gone three days without being styled or brushed and the dark circles under his eyes that haven’t alleviated with sleep. For a moment, Phil almost expects him to come out with something romantic.

He doesn’t. Instead, he shoves a forkful of waffle into his mouth, and asks around it, “How many cups of coffee did you have to chug to get you this awake this early?”

Phil laughs, “More than I’m proud of.”

This!  Why can I just perfectly imagine Dan using the puppy eyes on Phil to get what he wants?

Is it true that Phil is very much not a morning person? Or was that just your idea? Either way, I think it's really funny!

This is so cute!!  I love how Dan is so grumpy before he realizes why Phil came to wake him up!

Gah, the breaking off here...! And how Phil thinks he's just so overwhelmed by the breakfast in bed that he's at a loss for words!  

All in all, this was really adorable! I needed Phan fluff in my life today!
