Error Code: Dan Howell (Phan)

Five

"I think it's cute." He gives Phil's hand a squeeze which makes him smile.

"Thanks Dan." He lets go of Dan's hand and wraps his arm around his waist, and Dan doesn't argue.

When they made it to Dan's house Phil collapsed onto the bed with his head buried into one of Dan's pillows. Dan lies down next to him with some school supplies in his hands but before he could use any of them Phil was giving Dan a sideways hug, putting one of his legs over him, and resting his head on Dan's chest. The brunette calms his breath to steady his heartbeat which is ready run a marathon.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm tired."

"That doesn't answer my question."

"I want to cuddle with you, I don't want to do work."

"Is this that 'comfort' phase again?"

Phil laughs and shakes his head. "It's not a phase Dan, it's more like a need, and yes it is comfort."

"Do I have any say in it?"

"No."

"Can we at least kill two birds with one stone and I read the book you need to read for school?" Dan suggests, but he didn't want to do it because it would settle both of their needs, but because he needed something to give his full attention to to get his mind of the beautiful teen snuggled into him.

"Alright." Phil agrees and reaches over Dan to grab the book, making him need to calm his heart and slow his breathing even more as Phil half looks over him. Phil hands Dan the book and he opens it up. He starts reading where the bookmark was placed, putting all his attention into the words on the page and tries his best to ignore the warmth of the body next to him.

"What message is written on it?' He asks curiously, a cocky grin spreading across his face.

Michelle looks closely. " 'Marry me?' Is what's written." Michelle says with a small chuckle before casting a look over to James who is looking forward and trying not to smile. Michelle's eyes widen as she dumps more into her hand and gasps at them. "They all read 'Marry me?' J-James..." her voice trails off, and that's when he notices the song playing in the background. "O-oh my...is this what I think it is?" The Prince doesn't answer, just gets down on one knee and grabbing the box in his back pocket." Dan reads, taking a breath as he flips the page.

Phil moves his head so it's now next to Dan's neck. The brunette takes slow breaths and focuses on his breathing. Although when Phil nuzzles Dan with his nose and his lips lightly graze against his sensitive neck Dan's breath hitches in his throat and his heart starts to beep. In a panic Dan drops the book and rolls off his bed, causing him to land with a thump against the carpeted floor in a storm of heavy breathy as he tries to calm himself.

Phil sits up from the bed and let's out a soft chuckle. "That beeping always gets in the way of the little moments doesn't it?" He shakes his head.

Dan sits up from the grounds, his eyes wide and his hands shaking. "S-sorry I just um." Phil's eyes soften, Dan looks terrified.

"Woah are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah I'm perfectly fine I just um." He looks down at his hands. "I'm shaking, I don't usually shake. I only shake if I'm panicking or scared." He tries to take deep breaths to calm the shaking but it doesn't seem to work, at least his heart is steady though.

"Well are you panicking?" Phil crosses his legs.

"I was but I'm not anymore."

"Okay, are you scared then?"

"I'm not sure. I've never felt this way before." Dan holds his own hands to keep them from shaking. "I-I feel like I need something." He admits. Phil starts to break into hysterical laughter. "Wh-what's so funny?"

"Your going thru your 'comfort' phase Dan." Phil continues to laugh and wipes the happy tears from his eyes.

"I don't like it, and I'm still shaking." He rubs his neck where he felt Phil's lips, his skin still tingles from the contact and guessing by how hot his face feels it's probably red from blushing and embarrassment.

"Would you like a hug?" Phil asks, opening his arms up.

"Um, I'm not good at hugs, besides they're pointless anyways." Dan cross his arms and huffs, only making Phil laughs more.

"Oh come on, just crawl onto my lap and hug me. You'll feel better, trust me." Phil promises and waves for Dan to come to him. Dan lets out a sigh as he goes back on his bed and crawls on to Phil's laps. He wraps his arms around his neck. Phil does the same with Dan's waist, pulling their bodies close as Dan wraps his legs around Phil.

Even though Dan won't admit it, he feels better. However he needs to keep his breath calm and collected as Phil's hands run up and down Dan's back. He wants Dan, really badly. And as he feels his back with his hands he knows he wants nothing more than to close every space between them. "You're really hot." Phil says out loud by accident.

"Wh-what?"

"I-I meant your b-body warmth is hot. Y-You're really n-nice to hug." Phil stutters, holding Dan tightly. His hugs feel as nice as his sister's used to.

Dan pulls away slightly from the hug and runs his hands down Phil's sleeved arms. "Are you trying to flirt with me Lester?"

"No. Well, maybe? I'm trying to win the bet." Phil says nervously as Dan's hands grab at the sleeve of Phil's shirt and pull it up his arms. "What are you doing?" Phil pulls his arms away.

"Oh sorry nothing." Dan scratches the back of his neck and crawls off Phil's lap. "Do you want me to keep reading the book?"

"No, I just want to cuddle." He grabs Dan and pulls him down onto the bed with him.

"You always want to do that though. It's sickening." Dan's lips form a straight line as he stares at the ceiling.

"It's only sickening because of the butterflies in your stomach." Phil teases, kissing Dan's cheek.

"Shut up."

"You're not denying it."

"I said shut up."
