—FOR SOME unknown reason, nerves flooded the pit of daniels stomach as he woke up from this sleep. it was around half nine in the morning, the blonde glancing over to see his girlfriend sleeping peacefully next to him. Dahlia had one hand under her pillow, the other sprawled across daniels exposed stomach, almost like she was keeping him close no matter what.

Even though the tenth of October had no apparent relevance to the group, as kayla's birthday had just been- which was on the first- and francesca's was tomorrow. but today? today daniel made sure that today was going to be a special day for him and dahlia.

why you may ask? because it was their sixth month anniversary today.

Even though the couple had decided they weren't the type who celebrated anniversaries- only the 'essential' ones such as the one year mark. But after thing that has happened between the couple over the course of the year- from them breaking up to now being back together and daniel and the boys being close to finalising the last details of their album- daniel wanted to surprise dahlia for their six months.

And especially since dahlia had practically moved back in daniel, her spending all the time here- whether that was just spending time with him or helping produce e boys album, she never barely went back to her home. That leading to daniel to just asking his girlfriend- who was still sleeping peacefully next to him- to move back in.

She kept her own house of course- incase something where to happen and she had to go back to her own home, she still had that to run back to.

Not wanting to get out of bed, daniel instead just relaxed back down onto the pillow, bringing his arm up to where her arm rested on his stomach, him tracing circles along her bare skin.

the small affectionate gesture stirred dahlia awake, her eyes welcoming her to see a loving daniel looking at her. she furrowed her eyebrows though as she saw a sense of guilt wash over his face before he flashed her a smile.

"shit did i wake you up?"

"what with you being a simp and tracing circles on my arm? yes. yes you did. but I'm not complaining." daniel scoffed, a roll of his eyes being seen by dahlia who flashed him a lazy smile as she blinked away the blur in her eyes from having just woken up.

"so what's on the agenda today?" dahlia muttered, her bringing herself closer to daniel, allowing him to wrap an arm around her waist, planting a kiss to her forehead. she hadn't received an answer straight away, but dahlia didn't care about that as she just cuddles into her boyfriend.

"well i was going to get up and make your breakfast in bed but i was stuck with your arm stretched across my stomach."

"whoops- sorry about that." dahlia whispered, dahlia looking down to see a small smile creeping onto her lips as she snuggled into him. he watched her eyes close momentarily, daniel knowing that it wouldn't take long for dahlia to just fall back asleep. "you can always still make me breakfast in bed."

"oh really? well now I'm even more stuck with you now squeezing your arms around me." daniel joked, his point being proven as dahlia squeezed her arms around him, declaring the point that she was not going to let him go.

"dani I'm being cute- fucking take it."

the sound of him letting out a low laugh made dahlia too laugh, the air around them being all happy and light-hearted. 

"okay I'm being serious lia- you're gonna have to let me get up so i can make you this breakfast in bed." daniel whispered, giving dahlia a kiss as she reluctantly removed her daniel from her grasp, bringing her arms back to herself. "thanks love."

dahlia mentally gushed at the name, no matter how many times daniel called her love, it still made her heart flutter- the girl not being able to explain why that was such a weakness in her eyes.

"can i have pancakes? wit-"

"-with extra nutella and strawberries?" Daniel finished off her question, dahlia just smiling before giving her boyfriend a nod of her head. "coming right up angel."

"okay daniel what is happening? like yeah I'm allowed to be cute today cause I'm never the cute and romantic type- but you calling me angel? have you done something that i don't know?"

daniel let out a laugh at her question. having known her for ages now, daniel knew her question didn't mean 'have you cheated on me' it instead meant 'what have you planned and not told me about?'

"i haven't done anything! now relax- watch the office or something i don't know- i mean i won't be surprised if kobe comes up here and just cuddles you once I've given him his breakfast." dahlia laughed, knowing the latter was probably true. even though daniel hated to admit it, kobe had a strong love for dahlia, him always sitting with her, or even following her whenever he could.

she gave her boyfriend a smile before watching him disappear out of the bedroom, his footsteps being heard descending down the stairs. deciding to just relax, dahlia sat herself upright, when she felt herself shiver. she glanced down to see the reasoning for why she had shivered.

she was still only in her bralette and pants. she laughed to herself after recalling the night previous. the two had gone out with alexandra and corbyn- it practically being a double date- and they had gone to play mini golf. but it wasn't a surprise to corbyn and daniel when they saw that dahlia and alexandra had taken the full advantage of the mini alcoholic bars stationed around the mini golf course.

dahlia had decided to wear leather jeans and a nice bodysuit- overall she thought she had looked fantastic, her bad bitch persona coming through. however, when she got home she had regretted that decision. being drunk and stuck in extra tight leather jeans, made it so difficult for dahlia to get changed.

at first, daniel just sat back and watched in amusement as his girlfriend struggled to pull the leather jeans off her legs in her drunken state. but after a minute, daniel had decided to help her change out of said clothes, a few mini make out sessions happening in between.

but with a mixture of those make out sessions and still struggling to get out of her choice of clothing, when she and eventually gotten out of it- dahlia was knackered. And so was daniel. So instead of even changing into her pyjamas, dahlia had just crashed onto her pillow beside daniel after he too had gotten changed, the two of them falling asleep pretty quickly.

It was ironic though for dahlia, the one time she felt so pretty in her choice of outfit, and was happy to have some time with daniel that night- the two of them had just tired themselves out with just taking off her clothes- especially when her leather jeans got stuck around her ankles.

deciding to just laugh off the memory once again, dahlia didn't hesitate to walk over to daniels wardrobe, which had actually turned into her wardrobe also as daniel had practically allowed her to take over the clothing space with her own clothes. However, even though she had multiple of oversized shirts she could throw on, she decided to lean over to daniels section of the wardrobe, grabbing one of his older shirts that she knew didn't fit him anymore- throwing it on.

whilst daniel was downstairs, dahlia had done exactly what he said she was going to do. after throwing on one of his shirts, she climbed back into bed after seeing kobe make himself present in the couples bedroom, him taking his space next to dahlia on the bed. she overwhelmed the dog with fuss, him practically being her baby at this point in time.

dahlia was contemplating putting the office on as it was her and daniels comfort show, but glancing down at her phone to see that kayla had sent her a Tiktok about a certain film, that having helped dahlia's decision for what to watch.

hearing the familiar sound of the song that daniel had gotten used to hearing caught his attention as he walked up the stairs with the tray of dahlia's breakfast in his hands. walking into the bedroom, daniel saw the familiar sighting of the four pevensie siblings that were sat on the train after evacuating london.

"why am i not surprised to see you watching this?" Daniel asked as dahlia swayed her head mumbling the narnia song. she gave her boyfriend a shrug as she showcased her smile. her eyes glanced down to the tray of food, her mouth practically oozing at the sight.

the pancakes were covered in Nutella, multiple strawberries sprawled on top. there was also two mugs of coffee and a glass of apple juice situated on the tray as well.

"i swear Peter was my childhood crush. Like look at that man." dahlia gushed at the sight of the eldest pevensie brother seen on screen whilst daniel took his space next to her on the bread, placing the tray gently on dahlia's lap.

"if he came into the room right now i would not stand a chance would i?" daniel asked, him grabbing one of the mugs of coffee, sitting himself against the headboard next to dahlia, getting himself comfy.

"you not having any food?"

"oh look at you changing the subject." daniel teased, poking dahlia's side, the girl jerking before narrowing her eyes at her boyfriend.

"he would not stand a chance against you daniel." dahlia said, answering daniels question from before. he looked at her wide-eyed, dahlia rolling her eyes as he held her gaze.

"really? wow i really must be amazing then, cause i would leave you for him."

"i know. and if you did i will make you bring me over so i can see him."

"see, teamwork." the two laughed, daniel holding his hand out, dahlia giving him a high five. the blonde watched as his girlfriend digged into her food, her constantly offering daniel pieces of her pancake, him saying it's fine as he insisted that she could have it all to herself.

"hey lia," the mention of her nickname brought her attention to her faux blonde already looking at her lovingly. giving him a smile told daniel that he had her undivided attention. "would you ever want to go to like berlin or something for christmas? cause I've heard they have some of th-"

"-the best chrisrmas markets! oh my god yeah I've always wanted to go!" daniel struggled to hold back his smile as he watched dahlia go onto a full on speech about her love for the whole aspect of travelling the world to different chrisrmas markets.

"that's good."

"why you asking?"

"no reason."

"no reason huh?" dahlia raised her eyebrow as daniel shook his head. "so it has nothing to do with it being our six months today? cause that would also make sense as to why you've made me breakfast in bed."

the jig was up. dahlia knew that today was their six months. a part of daniel hoped she would forget so he could surprise her with what he had in store- but another part of him was happy that she had indeed registered that it was their six months.

"you've ruined my plan."

"terribly sorry darling." dahlia said, leaning over to give daniel a kiss. he leaned over, grabbing his laptop off the table next to their bed, bringing it into his and dahlia's view. whilst he turned it on, dahlia leaned back, focusing her attention back onto the lion the witch and the wardrobe that was playing on the tv, her continuing to also eat away at her pancakes.

"would you want to go to berlin then lia?" Daniel spoke up as he typed away on his MacBook. he glanced over to dahlia, the girl losing the pancake that was on her fork, it falling back onto her plate, making daniel let out a giggle.

"don't laugh at me for that." dahlia attempted to sound harsh, but when she looked at daniel, he saw her actually smiling, trying to hold back her own giggle. "-but yeah i would love to go why?"

"cause i already have booked it."

"really?! When?"

"i was going to surprise you with it later today, but i couldn't hold it back- considering you knew i was hiding something from you." dahlia let out a laugh, daniel placing a hand to the back of her neck, bringing her lips to his.

"well i would love to go."

"happy six month anniversary my love."
