A/N: I lost my phone for one day (stupid ik, ik) and when I found it again, I had around 300 notifications! You guys are amazing, and you all make me so happy ^v^
Phil's POV:
I sit up in bed, and extend my arms out wide in a stretch, making a strangled goose noise.
Too late, I remember that I'm sharing a room with Minty, and I probably woke her up.
I clamp my hand over my mouth and peer cautiously over the side of my bed onto the floor, where I set Dan's mattress down for Minty to sleep on.
She's not there. I sit back up again, puzzled, and get out of bed to go look for her.
Eventually, I find her in the kitchen, cooking something.
"Hello," I say sleepily.
She smiles at me. "Hey! Sleep well?"
"I slept great, how about you?"
"I slept as great as could be expected, for a mattress on the floor," she replies, frowning.
I open my mouth. "I'm so sorry, oh my goodness! You should have just told me, you could have had my bed and I would have slept on the floor... I feel so bad now," I blurt.
She laughs at my rambling. "I'm joking, you spoon."
I feel my cheeks heat up. "Oh... oops."
She chuckles quietly and turns back to the frying pan on the hob.
"What're you making?" I ask, peeping over her shoulder.
"Pancakes," she replies, flipping one over perfectly.
I stare at her in awe. "How did you do that so well?"
"How did I flip it over?" she asks.
I nod.
She shrugs and smiles at me. "I'm just a naturally awesome pancake flipper. How are your pancake flipping skills?"
"They're alright. Sometimes I'm really good at it, and other times the pancake lands on the ceiling..." I say shamefully.
Minty laughs. "Do you want a go?" she says, offering me the pan.
I consider it, but then shake my head. I would probably just ruin the ceiling... or the floor.
"I'm going to get ready. We'll go to the hospital again after breakfast, if that's okay?" I say.
Minty nods and smiles.
Back to you!
You rub your eyes and sit up, frowning at your unfamiliar surroundings.
Then it all comes rushing back.
You look down at your leg, which is patchy and badly swollen. You try moving a toe, which results in almost eye-watering pain.
You curse under your breath.
"Good morning to you, too," comes a familiar voice from beside you, followed by a laugh.
You blush. "Sorry."
Dan sits up and looks at you, smirking. "It's okay. It was quite amusing, actually."
You roll your eyes and smile at him.
"Do you love me enough to give me a morning breath kiss?" he asks you suddenly.
You scrunch up your nose at the idea. Dan pouts at you and looks away.
You know he's mocking being sad, but it still tugs at your heartstrings.
You roll your eyes at him, cup his face and press your lips to his. He makes a little noise of surprise, then relaxes into the kiss.
After a few seconds, you pull away. Dan puffs out his cheeks keeps his mouth shut, tilting his head.
"Are you tasting my breath?" you ask him, laughing.
"It's no worse than mine, really," he concludes, grinning at you.
You look at him like he's an alien. "You're so weird."
"I try," he shoots back, winking.
"I thought the inappropriate winking had stopped, Daniel," you say, laughing.
He groans. "Obviously not. Ugh."
You poke your tongue out at him, and he returns the gesture.
"Aww! (Your and Dan's ship name)!"
You look in the direction of the voice. It's Minty, who is standing beside Phil. They're both grinning excitedly.
Dan rolls his eyes. "Are you guys fangirling over us again?"
Minty looks sheepish, as does Phil. You laugh at them.
"I didn't get a hug yesterday, Y/n. Sorry," Phil says as he wraps his arms around you.
You return the hug. When you pull away, you smile at him. "How are you?"
"I'm great, thank you. I had some really nice pancakes this morning, courtesy of Minty," he replies, looking over at her and grinning.
"Did you save me some?" Dan interrupts.
"No..." Phil admits.
Dan scoffs. "You're not a true friend."
You smack his arm lightly. "Don't be mean!"
He sticks his tongue out at you.
"Ugh, when can we leave this place?" he says exasperatedly.
"As soon as Y/n's leg gets sorted out, probably," Minty says, pointing to your leg.
As if on cue, a doctor walks into the room. "Sorry to interrupt, but we need to talk about your injury, Miss L/n."
A lump forms in your throat, and you nod.
What if you have to get your leg amputated? The burns aren't bad enough for amputation... are they?
The doctor sees your worried expression. "Don't worry, it doesn't have to be amputated."
Everyone sighs in relief.
"You just need to apply this cream to it around three times a day, and the burns should begin to heal," the doctor continues, handing you a tube, which you assume has the cream in it. "We can't guarantee that there won't be any scars, however. I'll also get you some crutches, to make it easier for you to walk."
You're relieved. That's better than you thought it would be. At least you don't have to get a part of your body chopped off!
"Thank you," you say to the doctor. "That's great news! Not to be rude or anything, but can I leave when I get the crutches?"
He chuckles. "Of course, I'll go and get them now."
He gets up and walks out of the room, giving you all a smile.
Dan rushes over to you and wraps you in a bone-crushing hug.
"Oh my gosh, Dan, why the sudden rush of affection?" you laugh, gasping for breath dramatically.
He releases you. "I'm just so happy you aren't paralysed or anything! Plus, you're my girlfriend, I'm allowed to be affectionate," he says with a laugh.
*le time skip*
Dan pulls on the clothes he borrowed from the hospital, cringing.
"They smell like old people," he says, making a disgusted face.
You snort, which results in him laughing at you. You both end up laughing uncontrollably, unable to stop.
Someone knocks on the door. "Guys, hurry up in there! People are giving us weird looks!" Phil says urgently, from outside.
You chuckle at him. Dan made him and Minty stand outside whilst he was changing, and they're getting a bit impatient.
You didn't need to change your clothes, as you actually brought pyjamas with you, unlike Dan.
He finishes changing, and hands you the crutches that the doctor brought earlier. You put your arms in them and stand up, keeping your injured foot off the floor.
Dan gives you a look of concern. "Are you okay? Can you walk alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. It'll just take a bit of getting used to, I think," you reply, hopping forward and going out the door.
Minty looks at Dan weirdly. "What on earth are you wearing?"
"Would you rather I wore these, or just my boxers?" he says, waggling his hands.
You roll your eyes, and he laughs.
"I know what Y/n would prefer," he says to Minty.
You blush, and you poke him with the end of the crutch. "Dan!"
He laughs and puts his arm around your shoulder, his eyes glinting mischievously.
*le time skip*
You arrive at the flat building, and you look at all the stairs with dread.
"How am I going to get up those with these things?" you say, gesturing to your crutches.
"We could use the extremely creepy lift," Dan suggests.
You chew your lip. "Yeah, I guess so..."
Phil and Minty go up the stairs, and Dan leads you to the lift. You both walk into the small metal box, and Dan presses the number one button.
The doors close, and you start rising upwards. Dan puts his arm around you again and rubs your shoulder.
"Doors opening," the strange lift lady voice says.
You step out onto Dan and Phil's floor. Dan unlocks the door of their flat, and you remember that there are even more stairs inside.
You give Dan a questioning look. He considers what to do.
"Give me your crutches," he says, holding out his hand.
You raise your eyebrow, but do as he says, handing him the crutches and leaning against the wall.
Dan sets the crutches down, and suddenly picks you up, cradling you in his arms.
You gasp in shock, and laugh. "Dan, you'll give yourself back ache or something!"
He gives you a really b****, really look. "I've carried you before, Y/n."
You stick your tongue out at him and let yourself be carried up to the living room. He sets you down on the sofa.
"I'll just go get the crutches, I'll be right back."
"Okay," you say, pecking him on the nose before he straightens up again.
He gives you a cheeky wink as he leaves the room.
