Phil stared at Dan with concern. The younger had curled up to escape the cold, as the blankets didn't provide much warmth on such a freezing night. His eyes were shut tightly as he tried to sleep, but to no avail.

Phil lightly brushed his hand over Dan's cheek, and was shocked by how cold the poor boy was.
"You're freezing..." Muttered Phil as he scooted closer to his boyfriend.
"C'mere..."

Dan slowly opened his beautiful chocolate eyes and looked up into the icy blue ones of his counterpart. He gave the tiniest smile, before sighing in content and resting his head on Phil's chest.

The elder's left arm wrapped around Dan's body and the other lay across his stomach. He flinched slightly at Phil's action, but soon relaxed as he began to fall asleep in his boyfriend's arms.

Phil absent-mindedly began to move his fingers in a circular motion on Dan's tummy. He didn't realise what he was doing until Dan started to squirm slightly and attempted to wriggle away. It took him a few seconds to realise what was making the younger act in such a way. He smiled.

A mischievous look appeared on Phil's face, an expression that Dan was very, very afraid of.
"Oh, so you're ticklish, huh?" He asked quietly. At this, Dan once again attempted to get away but he was too late as Phil quickly jumped on him, sitting on his legs. No escape.

Dan was fully aware that he wasn't the stronger of the two, and didn't even bother trying to resist as he felt his arms being pinned down by one of Phil's.

Phil began to lightly slide one of his fingers down Dan's body. Hell, even a gentle motion like THAT sent the younger into a frenzy. He was so much more ticklish than he had thought!

Phil suddenly began wiggling his fingers into Dan's exposed tummy and the reaction was hysterical.
Dan couldn't take the sensation for a second longer. He struggled like mad under the bonds, and was eventually given a break. His eyes had watered slightly and he closed them in tiredness as they continued to cuddle.

Dan drifted to sleep quickly in the warmth and safety of the person he loved more than anything in the world.

If only he could say it..
