Chapter 14

The next chapter is the last chapter D:

"Dan, do you want to come back to mine?" Phil asked as they were walking out of the school gates. Dan eagerly nodded, wanting to spend more time with Phil. Phil managed to sneakily slip his hand into Dan's as they walked down the path in the direction of his house.

When they got to Phil's house, his mum greeted them both with a wide smile. "How do you two feel about baking some cupcakes? I was going to do it myself but then you showed up." She laughed and Phil turned to Dan, raising an eyebrow. Dan shyly nodded. "The ingredients are in the cupboards, you know what you're doing."

"Yup!" Phil's mum left the pair and Phil immediately raced towards the cupboard. He took out the ingredients he knew they needed and placed them on the table. "Dan, can you get the scales? They're just over there." Dan nodded before reaching up and standing on his tip-toes to reach the scales which were on top of the cupboard. "Thanks."

-

Dan and Phil had weighed all of the ingredients out and had them in little bowls around the mixing bowl. "So... according to this book, we need to put the butter and the sugar into the bowl and beat it." Phil read, holding up the cooking book. Dan nodded before pouring the two ingredients into the bowl. He then began to beat it with a wooden spoon until it was a fluffy yellow gloop thing.

"Next?" Dan asked, awaiting his next instruction.

"Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the mixture." Dan nodded again as he sifted the named ingredients into the mixture. "Beat the eggs into the bowl."

"Okay."

"NOW WE CAN SPOON THE MIXTURE INTO THEIR CASES!" Phil yelled, making Dan wince and cover his ears. As much as he thought Phil was cute, he was also very loud and Dan liked his eardrums. He wasn't ready to damage them yet.

Dan brought the mixing bowl over to the side where the baking tray and cupcake cases were.

He and Phil both began to spoon the mixture into the tray. "Let's make this more interesting and ask each other questions whilst we do this!" Phil suggested, making Dan groan.

"You sound like Louise!" He said.

"Sorry.. What's your favourite band?"

"Muse. By far. Favourite song?"

"Sunburn by Muse."

"I can play that on the piano!"

"That's cool. What's your favourite sport?"

"Internet surfing. Favourite animal?"

"Lions. Yours?"

"Llamas."

They had finished spooning the mixture into the tray by then and so Phil put on the oven gloves. He placed the tray into the already-heated oven. "Can I lick the spoons?" Dan asked in a quiet voice. He was obviously embarrassed about asking that but Phil actually found it adorable.

"Of course!" Phil exclaimed, picking up his own spoon and licking it. "Did you know that you can get salmonella from doing this?" Dan froze in his actions, frowning to himself for a second until he shrugged and licked his spoon again.

"Oh well, it tastes good."

"I agree."

-

Phil took the cupcakes out of the oven and grinned widely. "They're done!" He yelled, making Dan smile with him.

"Yes!" Dan leant over Phil's shoulder and picked up one of the cakes. He took a large bite but soon dropped the cake, gasping loudly.

"They just came out of the oven, Dan. No need to be so eager." Phil started to laugh at Dan's pained face just because it was both cute and generally hilarious.

"I didn't realise that they would be so hot! They burnt my tongue!" Dan pouted, covering his mouth with one hand.

"You're really cute, you know?" Phil said, voicing his thoughts. Dan blushed at the compliment, not used to people saying good things about him.

"No, I'm not."

"Yeah, you are."

"No-"

"Don't argue with me. You're literally the cutest human in the world, okay?" Phil leant forward so that he could lightly press a kiss to Dan's now-very-pink cheek.

"You're pretty cute yourself... Do you think the cupcakes have cooled down yet?"

"I don't know.. why don't you try one?"

"Okay.." Dan picked up his half-finished cupcake and went to take a bite. Just before he actually took a bite, he turned and shoved it into Phil's mouth.

Phil almost choked on it because he was laughing so much.

-

"Dan, wait here a second..." Phil said, just as Dan was about to leave. He ran upstairs and quickly grabbed something off of his bedside table before heading back downstairs. "Take it... just because." Phil laughed as he referenced Dan from the day he gave him the plastic star. Phil held his favourite flower crown out for Dan to take.

"Why are you giving this to me?" Dan asked in complete shock. He was aware of the fact that Phil treasured his flower crowns like they were his family so he was really surprised that Phil was giving him his favourite one.

"Because it means a lot to me and you mean a lot to me too." Dan hesitantly took the flower crown, not knowing how to react to the gift. It was just so meaningful.

"Thank you." Dan turned to leave, clutching the flower crown in his left hand.

"And one more thing.." Phil suddenly began to go a light pink, making Dan raise a concerned eyebrow. "Will you be my boyfriend?" Dan didn't bother responding, he just leant forward and kissed Phil.

Phil took that as a yes.
