a/n: dan is a bit shorter than phil in this story i keep forgetting to tell you guys that but it makes everything cuter :)

"It's a whole day before the Halloween party, where are you going to find a costume?" James scolds Dan as he eats his dinner in the red devil outfit.

He had been putting off going to find his costume, Dan was always in his room thinking over what happened at his concert when he was looking out into the crowd.

"James is right," Shane agrees, "looking for a costume a day before Halloween is like looking for a sex toy a day before sex."

"Out of all the analogies you pick that one." Mark rolls his eyes.

Shane just shrugs and continues to eat his potatoes.

"Well I already know what I'm going to be so don't worry to much."

"I helped... like actually." Phil says at their skeptical looks.

"There's Halloween costumes in the store downstairs, I don't know where Jeffree is, he's probably fucking Nate, so I can't ask for a car." James shrugs.

Dan stands up quickly, his face red, "No! It's fine! I'm pretty sure there's simple cat costumes down there."

Shane gushes, "Dan you're going to be a cat! Cute!"

James slams his hands down on the table, "You better get cat ears and a tail."

Phil stands with Dan and slips a arm around his waist, "We'll go together so Dan can get as second opinion on things."

"What do you know about fashion?" James scoffs.

"Down kitty." Felix coaxes.

James glares at the tabletop and Chris laughs, patting his shoulder, "Okay, we'll keep the door unlocked for when you guys get back."

Phil smiles and steers Dan toward the door, and without another word, they leave.

.....

"I can't believe they don't have a single cat outfit!" Dan groans, searching through the row of costumes.

Phil yawned as he leaned on a wall beside him, "Usually people who dress like cats have like black leotards on."

Dan whips around. "I didn't ask for your opinion yet Phil!"

Putting his hands up, Phil chuckles. "I'm just saying, just wear like a black shirt and tuck it into some black tights."

Dan thinks before nodding slowly, it was actually a good idea. They both walked around the store for a few more minutes and found a black shirt and tights that also covered his feet. It didn't take long to find the sparkly black cat ears and tail.

"Try it on Dan." Phil shoved him into a dressing room.

Dan takes off his clothes and slides the dark tights over his skinny legs then puts on the black v-neck. He walks out with the other accessories in hand. Phil puts his hands over his mouth as he looks at Dan up and down.

"Put on the stuff!" was the first thing to come out of his mouth.

Dan blushes embarrassingly. "Phil I don't think I want to-"

"Please?" Phil moves his hands from his mouth,pouts his bottom lip, snake bites and all, and tilts his head to the side.

Dan sighs, he didn't even know why he gave in to that. But he puts the ears on his head and tied the tail around his waist. Phil smiles. "You look so cute."

Pink tints in his cheeks as he looks down at the ground. "No I don't."
"Dan!" Phil says with surprise, "how could you say that about yourself? I think you're beautiful."

"Thanks." He says in a small whisper.

"Look at me." Dan does and he suddenly gets a fire in his belly. "can you meow for me?"

"Y-you want me to what?!" Dan says exasperatedly, his ears were a bright pink.

Phil shrugs as he smirks. "Come on Dan it's just a simple request, you're dressed like a cat so it makes sense."

Dan looked around, no one was in the store but them and the half asleep clerk. He looks back at Phil who was looking expectant.

"Phil I-I don't think I should." Dan twists his fingers nervously and curls his toes, putting one foot on top of the other.

"Dan." Phil steps closer to him. "say it."

Peer pressure sucked, Dan bites his lower lip softly and looks up into Phil's intense blue eyes.

"Meow." He said in a voice that was barley audible

Phil tries to contain himself. "Say it again, louder so I can hear you."

Dan wondered how red his face was. "M-meow." He said a little louder.

Phil groans a little as he reaches up and adjusts his cat ears better on his chocolate curls. Dan's brown eyes bored into him. He smirks.
"You would do anything I'd tell you? Isn't that right my little neko boy?"

He looks at him confused, "What's a neko?"

Phil just shakes his head. "Nothing Dan, but I wonder... could you lick the back of your hand and say it?"

Dan pushes him back. "I'm not a actual cat Phil! That's weird." He turns back into the dressing room without further conversation.

The black costume comes up and over the door and Phil catches all of them, walking over to check out to pay for it, he grabs a sliver studded leash and collar on the way. The man looks at him with slight curiosity but shrugs as he bags the items. Dan comes out a few minutes later back dressed. He tries to grab the bag from Phil but he moves it to his other hand. "I actually have a few items in here for myself."

"Really? Why can't I see?" They continue bickering as they leave out of the store and start up the stairs.

"Dan stop it, why do you want to know so bad?" Phil holds the bag above him as Dan reaches for it.
"Because you're keeping it such a secret!"

"I'll show you...after the Halloween party." Phil decides.
Dan pouts, "Phil! That's a whole day from now!"

"Guess you'll have to wait my little neko." Phil taps him on the nose.

Dan huffs.

——— *skipped to Halloween*

Dan looks in the mirror and adjusts his cat ears on his head. Phil was laying in his bed tossing one of his throw pillows up into the air.

"I don't look like much of a cat Phil." Dan wines as he tries to figure out what is missing.

Phil stops throwing the pillow and sits up. "Turn around and let me see."
Dan turns and he looks at him for a moment, "you need cat whiskers."

Dan feels stupid for forgetting the main part of a cat. He walks over to his desk and opens one of the drawers to find a black sharpie. "Here, draw some on me."

Phil pats the bed, to lazy to get up. Dan walks over and sits down handing him the sharpie. Phil uncaps it and pressed the tip to his nose. Dan scrunches up.

"Stop or I can't do it right!" Phil scolds.
"It smells so bad!" Dan complains backing away.
"Oh stop being a wuss." Phil brings him closer and starts coloring his nose all the way in before starting on his cheeks.

"There." He says as he backs up, admiring his work, "I think I did pretty good."

Dan goes over to the mirror to look, "I guess you did okay."

Phil launches the marker at his back and Dan crumpled slightly. "That's art don't discriminate it."
He stands up, "We should probably be going down anyway, I'm ready for candy."

Dan was to,so they both walk over to the door without another word. When they enter the living room, decorations of black and orange were hanging up along the walls. A giant bowl of candy and a platter of cake was sitting beside another bowl of punch.

"Oh hey Dan!" Louise calls him over, she was dressed as a bloody bride with mascara running down her face.

"I like your costume." Dan compliments.
"I really like yours too, you make a cute cat."

They hear a loud squeal and James comes running up to them. "Oh my gosh Dan how cute!"

Phil slides a arm around his waist, he got real protective whenever James came around for some reason. "Let's go eat some food Dan."

He steers Dan away from a questioning James. Shane was already there, shoveling down the candy while Jeffree took dainty bites of cake from Nate who had his Scream mask pulled up.

"I'm guessing your a model." Dan asks looking at his designer boots and clothing.
Jeffree winks, "Spot on."

They all eat for awhile until Felix turns on some music and they all join together and dance. Shane was leaned against the wall laughing really hard at how badly Chris was dancing, Mark whispered to Phil. "Someone spiked the punch with alcohol, But I don't know who."

"It was probably Shane himself." Phil laughs. Dan tugs on his jacket sleeve and he holds a finger out to Mark, "excuse me, what do you need Dan?"

"Phil I like this song." Dan says shyly. Mark leaves right then.

"This is a slow song Dan." Phil points out, he raises an eyebrow, "your point?"

"Well! Aren't you going to ask me to dance?" Dan gets huffy.
Phil pinches his cheek, "It's cute when you get upset."

Dan blushes, "Answer the question."

The raven rolls his eyes. "Fine, Daniel Howell, would you like to dance with me?"

Dan wrapped his arms around his neck quickly, "Yes I would."

Phil chuckles as he wraps his hands around his waist and they sway back and forth to the song. Dan was looking anywhere but at Phil's eyes, he could never keep eye contact. But Phil stares at him with adoration.
"Why aren't you looking at me?"

"Well because, we're so close and it's weird just to keep staring at you."

"Dan, you're the one that got all upset because I didn't ask you to dance, and now we're dancing and you can't even look at me."

His gaze flicks to Phil's bright blue eyes even though he was in the same eyeline as his lips. "There, I'm looking at you, now what?"

"Well to not make it awkward," Phil pulls him closer, "let's talk."

By this time, everyone had noticed that Dan and Phil were dancing together and had joined in with their own partners. Felix was dancing with Louise, James with a slightly tipsy Shane, Chris with a totally straight Mark, and of course Jeffree and Nate.

"What do you want to talk about." Dan breaths.
"Anything you want."

That's when his eyes flick momentarily to the snake bites in his lip. "Did those hurt?"

He laughs, "I guess not, why? were you thinking about kissing me later?"

Heat rises in Dan's cheeks. "No of course not."
"Right, because friends don't kiss each other." Phil mocks.

Dan thinks for a minute, weighing his options before speaking up, "Phil, do you remember when we were in my room and you were talking about metaphorically dating?"

"Of course I do," Phil smiles warmly, "but it was all metaphorically, but then I asked what if it wasn't and you just smiled."

Dan smiles again this time, "I know, and I want to ask that same question now, what if it wasn't metaphorically, you could see us together?"

"Yea definitely!" Phil looks down at Dan who's ears were bright red as he looks away from him. "wait... are you saying?.."

"This was a dumb idea." Dan tries to pull away but Phil holds on to him like a lifeline.

"No, there's no way you're backing out of this one Dan, I want to hear it come out of your mouth before I say anything."

Dan takes a deep shuddering breath. "O-okay well.. I um..."

"Yes??" Phil urges.

"I love you."

This time Phil backs away, completely, "What?"
