Dan waited for Phil after school like he always did, Phil already told him that he will be a little late today as he had to get Brandon from daycare. Dan did not mind that at all, he knew being a parent was a full time job that one can't slack off in and last thing he wanted was for Phil to not give his son enough time because of him. He waited patiently for Phil when he was approached by a girl from one of the popular groups in school, he sighed in annoyance knowing why she was coming to him. But he was glad that it was the last day of school and he wouldn't have to deal with this for so long.

"So how did you get Lester to agree on going out with you? Everyone knows he just sleeps around." She asked.

"I didn't do anything he asked me out." Dan shrugged.

"But why you? He has turned everyone down and just says that he does not do relationships, he even turned me down!"

"You do know he is gay right? Everyone knows he's gay Kathleen." He rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Right, well from what I've been hearing things are really serious between you two. I heard that he and his kid had dinner with your family more than a few times now?" She asked.

"How do you even know that?" Dan asked surprised.

"Words travel fast." She shrugged.

Dan opened his mouth to say something but stopped upon hearing Brandon shouting his name, he looked over and saw him running towards him with Phil following after him. Dan walked past Kathleen and towards Brandon who ran to him and hugged his leg tightly.

"Oh! Hey Brandon." Dan laughed crouching down to hug the boy properly.

"Hi Dan!" He giggled hugging him tightly. Over the past few months Brandon had started growing attached to Dan, he loved spending time with him and would constantly ask Phil about where he was on days they couldn't hang out. Dan found himself growing attached to both of them.

"Okay okay don't hog him Brandon, it's my turn to say hello now." Phil joked walking over to the two.

Dan laughed getting up, he wrapped his arms around Phil's neck kissing him sweetly, Phil smiled into the kiss wrapping his arms around his waist holding Dan close to him. At the start of their relationship both were a little unsure of how their relationship would turn out but now the two of them had never been happier. Phil was really loving, caring and patient with Dan as he was not as experienced as he was and decided they will wait before they have sex and only when Dan is completely sure that he is ready. He had stayed over at Phil's place a few times but they would just play with Brandon, and talk, when they got alone time Phil would make Dan feel comfortable, the furthest they ever went was making out, under the shirt contact and a few hickeys. Dan trusted him entirely but he just wasn't ready yet.

"So you're staying over tonight right?" Phil asked.

"Yeah, I've got my stuff with me and my parents are alright with me staying over." Dan smiled throwing his bag over his shoulder. "But I have work tomorrow sadly, great way to start the first day of summer vacation."

"That's alright, we have an entire summer." Phil smiled kissing his cheek before reaching down to pick Brandon up so he wouldn't run off like that again. He held Dan's hand with his free hand.

"Daddy, I want to walk!" Brandon pouted.

"Promise you won't run off like you did back there?" Phil asked, Brandon nodded and was put down. He walked a little ahead of the two but stayed close.

"Can we get ice cream?" He asked grabbing Phil's hand.

"Sure, if Dan isn't too tired." Phil said looking over at Dan.

"I'm alright, lets go." He smiled.

Dan got them a table while Phil got their ice cream bringing it over to their table. He sat next to Dan putting his arm around him pulling him closer and kissing his cheek. At first when they started dating Phil was never into PDA, nothing more than a quick hug and kiss when seeing Dan after school but now he was more comfortable and open to it. Dan smiled as Phil softly kissed along his cheek and jaw.

"Phil your ice cream is melting." Dan laughed softly playfully shoving Phil. He looked over at Brandon who seemed to be enjoying his cone and had ice cream all over his face.

"Brandon, you're such a messy eater." Phil laughed shaking his head. He grabbed a napkin and wiped the ice cream off of his face. Brandon giggled as Phil cleaned his face and then continued with his ice cream.

Later that night after dinner Dan changed into a pair of shorts and one of Phil's t-shirts. The shirt was a little big on him but he loved wearing Phil's clothes to bed, although it wasn't his style he still liked it, it gave him a feeling of comfort. He walked into Brandon's room, Phil had just finished reading him a bedtime story and was tucking him in. Brandon gave Dan a goodnight hug and then hugged Phil.

"Don't I get a goodnight kiss?" Phil pouted tapping his cheek, Brandon giggled and kissed his cheek. Phil smiled at him and kissed his forehead. "Good night my sweet boy, I love you."

"I love you too Dad.." He yawned closing his eyes and slowly drifting off to sleep.

"You're such a good Dad." Dan said as they walked to Phil's room and climbed into the bed.

"I try to be, I just want the best for my son. I don't want to be a shitty dad like mine was." Phil said putting his arms around Dan pulling him closer. Dan remembered Phil telling him about how his Dad had left them when he was about Brandon's age, he never called, not even on the holidays or on birthdays.

"You're nothing like him, Brandon adores you and you're an amazing Dad to him." Dan assured him.

"I can't get over how fast he's growing up, he's starting school this fall. A part of me can't wait for it but a part of me just doesn't want him to grow up he's my little baby."

Dan loved talking to Phil about Brandon, he loved how Phil talked about him and it brought out his softest side. There was his soft side when he's with Dan but then the one with Brandon was different, it showed what a caring parent he actually was and loved his son to pieces. All the things people said about Phil were ridiculous, if people were to get to know him they would see how caring and loving he actually was.

"Aww babe, he's going to grow up but that won't change anything. He's still your baby." Dan smiled pecking his lips.

Phil smiled kissing him back and then buried his face in Dan's neck holding him close. "Let's sleep now, good night babe."

"Good night Phil."
