Phils POV:
 

"Aren't they beautiful?" I whispered, staring up at the twinkling lights that covered the town of Manchester, shops had hung fairy lights in their windows and fake snowflakes were dotted around the square.
"I feel so festive!!" Dan replied and I looked into his eyes to see the sparkle from the tree reflecting in them. Currently we were standing in front of the gigantic Christmas they put out every year, an angel sitting delicately on the top and raindrops of lights cascaded down the side of it. Baubles the size of my head were placed all over the place and to the right of us was a giant inflatable Santa swaying side to side as though it were waving. I smelt the air and it was thick with the cold and hot chocolate.
"I feel like I can finally say the C word!" I outburst, feeling warmth flood my stomach at the thought of spending this time with Dan.
"What's the C word Phil?" Dan asked cautiously, making me giggled and cover my mouth as my tongue pocked out.
"Christmas!" I outburst like a 5 year old child. Dans cautious face was quickly transformed into a half smile that showed his dimple off. He shook his head at me and laughed 
"Damn it Phil, are you 12?" He asked and I just stuck my tongue out at him. I was soon distracted by a single flair going through the sky, a yellow light with white trailing behind it before it disappeared. 
"shooting star!" I pointed out "make a wish Dan"
"It was just a firework" Dan told me as another flair flew through the sky
"oh... well still make a wish!" I told him and closed my eyes. I couldn't see if he had done the same but when I opened my eyes I saw his were actually closed and his lips were mumbling something. I couldn't work out what but maybe that's for the better because it's his wish and its a secret until it comes true. "Done?"
"Done" Dan smiled at me "you're such a dork"
"so's your mum!" I retorted 
"oh such a burn" Dan chuckled and reached out, taking his freezing hand in mine which I gladly accepted. Our hands slowly began to warm up and I loved the way his bare skin felt against mine.  A part of me wished we'd never have to let go but sooner or later Dan would have to go home... which is why I can't wait until I get to give him his Christmas present. I hope he accepts it. 

After the lights were switched on we made our way down the lightly lit town and to the bus stop. Our hands were still interlocked and no one gave us a weird look or said anything about it, it was nice. It felt like it was just me and Dan here right now and that's how I want it to be. Me and him. Phil and Dan. No, Dan and Phil. That has a better ring to it, I like that. 
Dan spun me around so we were facing each other as we stood in the bus station, our hands interlocked as he swung them back and forth.
"I really enjoyed tonight" He told me
"So did I" I smiled. I always feel this tension when I talk to Dan, and urge to lean in and kiss him but I know he won't want me to do that, we're just platonic friends. Nothing more. "we should've filmed it for the internets"
"yeah" Dan chuckled "I can't believe how many subs we have already"
"we have sky rocketed into popularity... on the internet"
"Only on the internet" Dan emphasised "we should partner with YouTube soon don't you think?"
"whys that?"
"I've been reading up and if you partner with them you can get payed... thought it'd be good for a deposit on the house" I smiled, I was glad he was still thinking about it because I couldn't stop thinking about it 
"wow! That sounds perfect"
"yeah and you only need 10,000 subs for it, we're nearly there" He enthused and I nodded my head. It was crazy how fast we had gained subscribers, although surprisingly I had more. I had always thought Dan with his good looks and nerdy personality would win the internet over but instead they want me, Phil. 

The bus dropped us off and we just had a bit of walking to do, I opted to walking Dan home. I could feel the little box in my pocket. My hands were sweating nervously, maybe I had gone too far with this. Maybe he would say no. But he wouldn't, right? 
"This be me" Dan said and stopped outside his house 
"Alrighty" neither of us moved and then just as Dan was about to speak I cut through him before my nerves got the better of me "Is it alright if I give you your Christmas present early?"  I asked and Dan seemed surprised.
"It's literally December 1st, why so early?" he questioned
"It'll make sense when you see what I've got" I told him and felt in my pocket for the box wrapped up in Christmas paper. 

ITS NEARLY CHRISTMAS! 
I really hope I get my Christmas chapter up in time
