Also I have a question for you guys at the bottom of this chapter
————————————————————————

Phil had talked about, a few times, his adventures of falling asleep in baths. The first time he brought it up, Dan hadn't known he did it. He was obviously horrified, worried his boyfriend was going to drown in his sleep. He had tried to convince Phil to not stay in the bath for so long, which hadn't worked. So now, whenever Phil takes a long bath, Dan frequently checks in on him, making sure he isn't snoozing away. He even splashed him with cold water once, resulting in a annoyed and surprised "Dan!" from Phil while Dan laughed and shut the bathroom door.

The most recent time, though, has left both Phil and Dan, a bit shaken.

It had been another normal day in their tour bus, going around the US on their tour, Interactive Introverts. It was the very early morning, barely past 1am. Dan and Phil slept peacefully in their slightly cramped bunk beds. Suddenly Dan awoke, blinking in confusion. Loud voices drifted from the front of the bus. He rolls over to tries to go back to sleep, but then was aware of the fact that their bus was slowing down, seemingly coming to a stop. Dan groans and gets to his feet, swiping at his hair in a half attempt to fix it. He puts on some sweatpants and a shirt before walking to the front of the bus. It was now completely stopped, and from the view outside the window, at a gas station.

"Did we already run out of gas?" Dan mumbles, coming up behind their driver who was talking to their mechanic.

"No, there's some issue with the engine," replies the mechanic, getting out the bus. He opens the front hood of the bus.

Dan groans. "Great. How long will it be before it's running again?" He asks the driver, who's now shut off the bus.

"Probably just a few hours, but we have to shut off the bus to work on it. That means it'll probably get hot very quickly in here."

Dan sighs and runs his hands through his hair. "I don't think we'll sleep very well with people talking and banging stuff around. Is there.. a hotel or something around here?"

"Uhh I think I might've seen one a bit down the road. I'll look it up on my phone."

Dan nods. He looks around for Phil, expecting him to be up with all the commotion. When he's nowhere to be seen, he goes back to the bunks in the bus, and finds Phil on the bottom bunk sleeping away like nothing was happening.

"Are you actually kidding me," Dan mutters, a small smile playing on his lips. He looks down at Phil, snoring softly, without a care in the world. Dan kneels next to the bunk, grinning.

"Philly~" he says in a singsong voice. "It's time to wake up lion."

Phil mumbles something inaudible. Dan pokes Phil's cheek. "C'mon Phil, the sun is shining and it's another great day!" He says in a cheerful voice. He knows Phil is awake, just pretending to still be sleeping. Dan takes a breath before saying loudly and in false panic, "PHIL WAKE UP OUR NEXT SHOW IS IN 20 MINUTES!!"

Phil's eyes shoot open and he shoots up, forgetting there's a bunk above him, and bangs his head on it. He yelps and holds his forehead as he crumples back into his bed. Dan bursts out laughing.

"You alright there, Phil?" He asks, giggling. Phil groans and rolls so his back is to Dan.

"I hate you," he mutters, a raspy tiredness in his voice. Dan laughs again and leans over, pressing a kiss to Phil's temple. "Did you wake me up just to prank me?" He groans, flopping back to face Dan.
