"For the last time, no!" Dan says in annoyance, throwing down his phone on the couch to emphasis his point.

Phil wasn't giving up though.

"Please," he whines, drawing out the word, "just once and then I'll never ask you again!"

"No because that 'one time' will be the last time I'll ever be alive," Dan says, crossing his arms.

"I'm not that bad at driving," Phil pouts.

"Yeah you're not bad at driving, that's why you failed your test so many times," Dan says sarcastically.

Phil slumps into the couch cushion by Dan. "Do you love me?" He murmurs into Dan's chest as he puts his head on it.

Dan sighs. "Yes I love you Phil. But I can't do everything you want just because I love-"

"But you can at least do a few things, right?" He says, innocently staring up into Dan's eyes.

Dan groans. "Okay okay! I'll help you drive. But only once!" He says, partially glaring down at Phil. Phil claps his hands together and giggles gleefully. He sits up and kisses Dan's cheek before standing up and dancing away. Dan blushes lightly and smiles fondly at his boyfriends adorable enthusiasm.

"I only hope what I'm about to do is worth seeing that smile.." Dan mutters.

"Right, now you're ready," Dan says, finished explaining the basics to Phil. 'Just to refresh my memory,' Phil had said. They were in an abandoned parking lot, sitting in a friends car they had borrowed. It was an old car and the friend said he was planning on getting a new car soon anyway so he didn't mine too much if they dinked it up slightly.

Dan hopes that there would be no 'dinking up' with him in the car.

"Alright Phil, you see the lampposts, yeah?" Dan says, looking expectantly at Phil, who nods. "Okay. Good. Don't hit them!" He says, putting emphasis on the last three words.

"I'll... I'll try my best," Phil says, adjusting his hands on the wheel. Dan sighs and prepares himself.

"Okay Phil. Drive from here to the edge of the parking lot. Very straight, very simple. You don't even have to move the steering wheel."

Phil nods and slowly eases the car forward. Very slowly.

"Phil, my grandma could probably walk faster than this car is driving," Dan sasses.

Phil presses down on the petal a bit more. They roll across the parking lot at a reasonable speed.

"That's good, just be prepared to stop when we get to the edge so we don't roll over into the grass," Dan says. They get to the edge of the parking lot and Phil stomps on the break petal, making them jolt forwards in their seats slightly.

"Okay you didn't need to do it that suddenly," Dan says, sighing.

Phil giggles sheepishly. "At least I didn't let us roll into the grass."

"That's-that's true, very well Phil." Dan says with a sarcastic smile and pat on the back, but actually relived they weren't over the curb on the very first test.

"Okay now reverse and turn so we're facing," he points to their right. "that way."

Phil nods and puts the car in reverse. He looks into the mirror above him as he moves the car backwards. He turns the steering wheel right slightly.

"A bit more Phil or we're going to take forever to turn."

Phil turns the steering wheel a bit more. Once they're faced the right direction, Phil eases the car to a stop, saving them from a second whiplash.
