#sleepy!dan

Dan and Phil have arrived in Edinburgh and can’t stop thinking about their forever secrets.

The two arrived in Edinburgh and despite it being just early evening, the two were tired from their travel and were happy to be in their hotel room.

Phil was already sprawled on the bed while Dan got into his pyjamas.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you go to bed this early.” Phil joked as he glanced at the clock that read 9pm.

“Tired.” was all Dan said and Phil understood. Packing and flying and airports in general seemed to exhaust this anxious procrastinator he called his boyfriend.

Phil reached his hand out for Dan, wanting nothing more than for Dan to finally join him in bed. 

Dan obliged, cuddling up to Phil’s side and resting his head on Phil’s chest. Dan knew it was cheesy, but he really did always feel at-home - no matter where in the world they were - as long as he was with Phil. 

“Speaking of home,” Dan began.

“Who was talking about home?” Phil asked, but Dan ignored him and continued talking in the soft, slightly raspy voice he possessed when he was content and tired and that only Phil got to hear. 

“I can’t wait, you know.” Dan said. “To finally, after all these years, and after everything’s that’s happened…” he trailed off. “Things weren’t always easy. From the day of the fucking Youtube glitch all the way to the shit we went through just this last March… but we made it. We’re almost there. We almost have our forever home.”

Phil couldn’t help the small smile on his face. He couldn’t wait to finally own a forever home with his forever person either. “Plus our corgi. I mean, that’s the only reason we’re getting a house, isn’t it?”

“Oh, yeah, definitely. Fuck the whole growing up and saving up money and buying a house with your partner to spend the rest of your life in stuff, I’m just in it for the dogs.” Dan said.

“Oh, it’s dogs now, is it?” Phil asked.

“Well, if you get a corgi then I get a shibe. That’s only fair.” Dan said.

“What about a mix? A shorgi?” Phil suggested.

“A… Cibe.”

“Corbe.”

“Shigi.”

The two couldn’t stop giggling now as Phil pressed a kiss to Dan’s curly hair. 

“Just a little bit longer and we’ll finally have it all.” Dan said. “And our audience has no idea. Can you imagine how crazy Tumblr will go when that video is uploaded?” he said with a slightly sinister giggle. 

Phil couldn’t help but laugh. “Goodnight, Dan.” 

“Night.” Dan said back as he closed his eyes, his weight becoming heavier beside Phil as sleep overcame him.

Phil, however, wasn’t as tired as his boyfriend and decided to scroll through Tumblr in search of some fanart to queue. He scrolled through his tag to see post after post with ‘proofs’ about how he and Dan were moving again soon. 

Totally what happened when they discovered each other’s freckles.

Phil woke up, no idea what time it was and almost forgetting he was back home in London. A sleeping Dan lay beside him, both of them exhausted with jetlag.

Phil rolled over, about to press a kiss to Dan’s bare shoulder when he suddenly stopped. “Whoa.”

“Hmm?” Dan murmured.

Phil didn’t say anything and proceeded to lift and examine Dan’s arm, hand, knuckles.

“What are you doing?” Dan grumbled.

Phil then looked at Dan’s face and poked his cheek.

Dan flinched and growled before glaring at his boyfriend. “What the hell are you doing?”

“You have freckles.” Phil said with the most annoyingly cute smile as he began poking the freckles covering Dan’s cheek once again.

Dan wriggled away.

“They’re so cute.” Phil gushed. 

“Okay, great, I have cute freckles. Can I go back to sleep now?” Dan asked.

“Sure.” Phil told him.

Dan turned over, his back to Phil. He closed his eyes, sleep overcoming him once again.

Suddenly, he felt a finger drag along his shoulder and zig-zag down his back.

Dan squirmed. “What are you doing?” he asked in annoyance.

“Playing connect the dots!” Phil said as he continued drawing imaginary lines on his boyfriend’s back.

“Stop!” Dan giggled.

“I wanna see if they make any shapes!” Phil said.

Dan rolled over and grabbed Phil’s hands in his, stopping him from continuing his artwork.

It was then Dan noticed his boyfriend’s arm. “You do realize you have freckles too, you spork.”

Phil looked down and noticed his arms covered in freckles.

“I have too many to make any shapes, I think.” Phil said with a pout.

“Not true.” Dan said before running his finger along Phil’s arm, connecting the freckles in the shape of a heart.

Phil smiled. “Let’s see what shape yours makes.” he said before grabbing Dan’s arm and connecting the little freckles with his finger.

Dan watched, trying to make out the shape. “What is it?” he asked.

Phil looked up at Dan with the utmost innocence. “A whisk.”
