If I Could Fly (ao3) - lobotomist_at_claires

Summary: Dan's on tour in America, but all he wants to do is fly home to Phil.

"Dan wanted nothing more than to melt into the phone and fall out onto the couch cushions, nestling himself deep within Phil’s arms. Phil would hold his head against his chest, and rub soft circles into his curls, and with bodies pressed together, their hearts would beat in sync. Dan could cry his eyes out until it soaked through Phil’s old t-shirt, or he could shout along to some random reality show, or he could slip into a peaceful sleep— he could do anything as long as Phil was there to hold him. It was almost sickening how much Dan wanted to be held in a tight embrace, smelling the familiar scent of their detergent on Phil’s clothes, feeling the warmth of Phil’s hands across his skin."
