AN: Hey guys! So this is the final chapter in the story. It's been fun! See you at the bottom.

Age 18

Dan walked out the front door trembling slightly, but feeling oddly strong. His mother was at it again but this time he couldn't just sit around and take it He wasn't a child anymore and she didn't scare him.

"You're useless!" she screamed. That was the last straw for Dan; he snapped like a twig.

"I'm useless?" he shouted, outraged. "What about you? All you do is scream at me all the time! You've never ever been there for me. Hell! You don't even care! I could get run over by a car and you wouldn't care! You're a pathetic excuse for a parent."

"HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME THAT WAY! I AM YOUR MOTHER!" Her face was red and contorted into the most terrifying expression Dan could ever dream of. She stared daggers at him, expecting him to back down like he always did. But Dan wasn't a child anymore.

"I have no mother," he said in a deadly tone so soft she would've thought it was her imagination if she hadn't seen his lips move. He turned around and walked out the door, leaving the woman stunned. He walked quickly to the old park in his rented suit, loosening the tie on his way.

It was the day he graduated after his A Levels. His school had a celebratory dance which he had been forced to go to by the few friends he had. But after his encounter with his mum he was too pissed off to be in the company of more annoying human beings. He just needed to go to the only one he liked.

He turned into the park and sat down when he reached the clearing. A few minutes later there was a soft rustling behind him followed by Phil sitting down beside him, their knees touching.

"I had a feeling you'd blow off the dance," Phil said in a manner of greeting.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Dan had come to accept that Phil knew more about him than he did. Mainly because the opposite was also true; Dan knew him better than Phil knew himself. "I wouldn't have spent my money on this stupid suit," he grumbled, not liking the idea of wasting his hard earned money.

"Because I also knew you'd looking amazing in it," he smiled, leaning in to kiss Dan. Even after four years, Dan was surprised every time Phil kissed him. It always felt as amazing at it did the first time they had kissed in the trees, his heart fluttering.

"Everyone must be having so much fun at school right now," Dan sighed when he pulled away. "Dancing and getting drunk." Phil suddenly jumped up, offering his hand to Dan.

"What are you doing?" Dan asked, taking the outstretched hand, pulling himself up.

"We're going to have even more fun," Phil said. He took out his phone and fiddled on it. Once he found what he was looking for, he set it down on the grass a few feet away from them. A familiar song began to play and Dan felt himself smile.

Phil bowed dramatically and offered his hand to Dan. Dan just giggled and took it, letting himself be pulled towards his boyfriend. Phil held Dans waist, Dan rested his hands on his shoulder and they began swaying slowly.

"I should warn you: I don't know how to dance," Dan said softly.

"You don't need to," Phil replied, staring into Dans eyes with an intensity that made Dan shiver.

Baby don't yell, you're tearing a hole

Right through the walls of everything we used to know

I'm building a place, something amazing

Just for the sake of saving us

From under the sun,

Two plastic hearts with nowhere to run

We're rolling the dice on whatever's left

'cause God only knows that we could use the rest...

In the dim light of the moon, Phil seemed to be glowing. His eyes shone with a sparkle that made Dan feel infinitely happy. Phil took Dans hand, spinning him around, making the younger boy laugh. To him it was the most beautiful sound and, in that moment, Phil swore he would do anything to make it last for as long as he lived.

They moved in silence. Dan rested his head on Phils chest even though they were about the same height now. He had his eyes closed, enjoying and cherishing every perfect moment. It was much more than he had ever expected from life. He felt Phil shift a little.

"Dan..." Phil almost whispered. "I've been thinking..." he said sounding slightly unsure.

"About what?" Dan asked a little confused, still swaying to the music.

"About us." He saw the questioning look on Dans face and took a deep breath. "Dan I want to go away. With you."

"What? What are you talking about, Phil?"

"I want to leave this place. There's nothing but bad memories here and I want to get away from them." He had a desperate look on his face. "But I won't be able to go without you."

"Phil..." Dan breathed.

Me and You

Living under a paper moon

'cause real life just isn't right

Let's fabricate

"Dan, please! God knows I wouldn't last two days without you!" Dan considered the idea for a moment. It was absolutely absurd. Phil was asking Dan to drop everything he had and run away with him. But then Dan realised: Phil was all he had. Now that he thought about it properly; it didn't seem so improbable. Both of them had finished school and were qualified enough to get jobs. Phil had a car so travelling wouldn't be a problem. And to be honest, Dan didn't need much if he was with Phil.

"... Understand if you don't want to go with me." Phil was saying when Dan snapped back to reality. "I won't blame you for it but I just really hope you'll think about-"

"You idiot," Dan smiled cutting him off, pulling him in for a kiss.

Me and You,

Living under a paper moon

This real life just isn't right,

Let's get away

Let's fabricate

Dan sprinted back to his house. When you got there he silently thanked god because the door was still open. He took the stairs two at a time and ran to his room. He grabbed his backpack, filling it with whatever clothes he could find. He rummaged through his cupboard till he found what he was looking for. He held up the jacket Phil had given him the first time they had met twelve years ago. He carefully folded it and placed it in his bag. Swinging the backpack over his shoulder, he left just as fast as he had come.

"Where are you going?" he heard his mother shout at him from the living room. He ignored her and just kept going, a broad smile spreading across his face. As he walked through the park, he almost expected Phil to be gone but he was still sitting where Dan had left him. Phil stood up when he saw Dan coming, and grinned from ear to ear.

"I almost thought you weren't coming back," he laughed. He took Dan by the hand and lead him to his car inside which his own backpack was already sitting.

"I see you came prepared," Dan joked.

"You forget, Daniel. I know everything about you." Phil replied, making Dan scrunch his face at him. They sat in the car but Phil didn't start the engine immediately. Dan guessed he was feeling as nervous as he felt. Phil grabbed Dans tie, and kissed him. Dan tangled his fingers in Phils hair. Phil pulled away after a minute and took one last long look at the park. Dan gently placed his hand on his knee, attempting to reassure Phil. Phil took it as as a good sign and turned the key.

They started moving and the butterflies in Dans belly made him feel a little sick, but the adrenaline he felt shot it down with ease. It was a full moon night, just like the one on which they had met.

In half an hour they were driving down the highway, their town looking tiny in the distance. Dan felt like he could breathe again. He felt so free and so invincible. And it was all because of Phil.

"I told you it'll be like a fairy tale," Phil said looking over at Dan. "That we'd get our happy ending." Dan smiled, remembering the conversation they had had several years ago. Dan turned his head to look at Phil who was smiling at him with those gorgeous eyes. Dan had always wanted blue eyes but he was happy with being able to look into the most beautiful pair for as long as he lived.

"I always believed you."

AN: And that's it! It's done! Oh God, what do I do with my existence now?
