STAY WITH ME

quarte

   dan sighed as he played with phil's ebony hair. memories flooded his thoughts as he was on the couch, phil draped over him, soft snores tumbling from his open lips. dan smiled softly. the memories of when they were younger. when they were new to each other. they were completely and utterly infatuated with each other. dan never left phil's side, and phil always had a protective arm around dan's waist.

   as dan twirled his fingers through the soft black locks of hair. he also was invaded with the thoughts of uncertainty and doubt. the fact that phil would soon leave him, or that maybe he wouldn't and everything would be okay. but when you're dating phil, you can never know.

   he could be totally and utterly in love with you, and it'd be almost impossible to tell. that's just how phil was. he could be so caught up with you, he'd forget that he had important responsibilities, opting to spend his time in your embrace, whispering sweet nothings in your ears as you fell. as you hadn't watched you step, and you fell so fast that you didn't know at first how it had happened. but then you do, and you realize the ways that this could all go up in flames.

   but dan pushed the thoughts away. phil was his now it didn't matter that he wouldn't be someday. dan had him now, and he wasn't going to let him go. dan had caught the lion, as if only momentarily. dan had enticed the lion that everyone had dreams of catching.

   but would someone else take his spot?
