[And this time Phil actually steps closer, leans into that hug and wraps his own arms around Day to embrace him in return. The tears now are ones of pure joy, the smile on his face probably the single most genuine one Day has seen on his face yet. At last, after so many years of heartache, of never having the hope of being anyone's first choice, he is loved by the person he loves, and it's such a wonderful and amazing feeling that he thinks his heart might burst.
Maybe it's selfish. No, it almost definitely is. But this is something that's his and his alone, and he wants to take it and hold it tight and never let it go for as long as this world sees fit to allow him that much. And for once? He delights in this selfishness, in this thing he desires so much for himself that he would fight for it until his dying breath.
Because is it really selfishness when Day is holding him just as tightly?]
