[It's probably a very fortunate thing that Day is already aware of Phil's propensity for bursting into tears over minor things or else his reaction might be that much more alarming.
Phil opens his mouth like he's trying to say something, only no words come out, just a soft sound that gives way to a hitched sob as the dam finally bursts for real. The tears now aren't quiet, but they also aren't distressed, merely the product of being emotionally overwhelmed. Because, much like no one had ever told Phil he was pretty before, no one has ever said they love him before, either.
Embarrassed, he brings his hands up to try to cover his face as though that will somehow be able to hide the fact that he's crying.]
