    Summary

    Dan gets outed on stage. It's like the world misses a beat, and no one but Phil got tripped up by it. It's Dan's boyfriend that does it, an idiot if Phil's ever seen one, some kind of actor who's buff and puts his foot in his mouth in ways that constantly border on offensive. He drops a careless comment about their relationship, and Phil watches Dan's entire world shatter in the way his face freezes.

    He tries not to know him, he really does. Tries to look at the TV and see a stranger, see a tool to be entertained by, the way the rest of the world clearly does, but he can't. It jumps out at him in clear view, sharp HD, all the ways in which he knows Dan. The dimples on his face, the laughter lines under his eyes, etched there by Phil, the fight or flight reflex paralysing him.

    A series of moments in Dan and Phil's life, leading them back together after breaking up.
