warning - mentions of disease

It had been a little over a week since Phil left. Dan couldn't eat, he couldn't sleep, he couldn't focus on anything. He wanted to sleep, but he couldn't help but wonder where Phil was, and wether or not he was okay and when he was coming back - if he was coming back at all.

He was just about to fall asleep - finally - when he heard a knock on the door. Who could it be at this time? Dan thought, glancing at his alarm clock, which read 3:47 am. He sighed and got out of bed. He lumbered over to the door, lazily throwing it open to see Phil standing there with a backpack and a soft smile. "PHIL!" Dan yelled and tackled him in a hug. "Oh God I thought you were never coming back. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I just missed you so much." he whispered into Phil's shoulder. Phil giggled quietly. "I missed you too Dan," he said, pulling Dan closer to him.

Dan pulled back and looked into Phil's eyes. "Phil, I wanna tell you what's been happening with me." Phil nodded and let Dan lead him to the couch. "Phil.. there's something I haven't told you." Dan started. He could see Phil gulp, and he took in a breath.

"Phil.. there-there's cancer in my heart. I didn't want to make you upset, so I went to my appointments during the day and switched all my uni classes to late night classes. That's why I've been away so much, all the money I've been spending. Phil, I'm coming undone. The doctors- they give me six months. Phil- I'm gonna die." By the time Dan was finished he was crying, as was Phil.

"Dan.. you can't die on me. Why didn't you tell me? We could've gone through this together." Phil said, Dan burrowing into his chest. "I just- I didn't want to worry you.." Dan sniffed. "Then when did you plan on telling me?" Phil asked. "The night you left.." Dan trailed. He looked so sad, so shaken. Phil felt his heart break for Dan. "Dan, I'm so sorry," Phil whispered. After a moment, Dan said "I just want us to be okay again," and Phil nodded in agreement.

"Phil, what are we now?" Dan asked timidly. The two were lying in Phil's bed, Dan on Phil's chest, Phil playing with Dan's curly hair. "Dan, would you still wanna be my boyfriend?" Phil asked. Dan nodded happily and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
