Dan sat down in the fairly empty Starbucks and stirred his coffee to his satisfactory 'frothyness'. He relaxed on the plush sofa until he caught his eye on a girl sitting quietly in the corner. She looked upset and he could she she'd been crying. He realised he had been staring at her for a while until he quickly looked away.
Phil came to join him at the table sitting opposite blocking is view of the girl. Things had been awkward between the two of them ever since Phil confessed his feelings towards Dan. There was no suitable conversation subject for them. They both knew they had to talk about it sometime. Really, they were just waiting for the other to start it.
Dan caught a glimpse of the girl again who had shuffled over in her seat to get a better glimpse of the two of them. He smiled at her hoping for a response, but she ended up going red and turning away.
"You know her or something?" Phil asked awkwardly trying to make conversation.
"No she just keeps looking at me, she looks quite upset though. She might be fan though."
"Why are you so interested?" Phil said unintentionally bluntly.
Dan ignored Phil's remark and couldn't help looking slightly offended. "S-sorry I-. " Phil cut himself off before he made anything more awkward.
Dan saw the girl put on her big WESC headphones and looked away before he got her all flushed again. He stood up and went to the toilet which was unfortunately in her direction. As he walked past he accidentally brushed past her sleeve. "Oh, sorry" he mumbled as she whimpered in shock.
He went into the bathroom and stared at himself in the mirror. He wished that things would be as they used to be with Phil. He often questioned his feelings toward Phil, he knew he was straight but lately he wasn't too sure as to whether he was gay straight or bi. He loved Phil as a friend and even as a brother, he just wasn't sure how much he loved him. Did he care for him more than friends? He felt himself well up at all these thoughts.
He left the bathroom just as the girl he had been looking at stood up quickly. They collided violently and he accidentally knocked her over. She quickly got up and stood completely still and started to go a deep shade of crimson.
Phil got up from his table and came over quickly.
"Dan what the hell happened?" Phil questioned.
"Oh my God I am so sorry" Dan trembled with guilt. He had just knocked over a very emotional girl in Starbucks. He got a closer look at her face when she brushed her hair out her eyes. They were red and sore, not much lighter than the red in the ends of her hair and the streak going through the side of her fringe.
"It's okay I'm just being stupid." She mumbled to herself. "Don't mind me, I'm just a fangirl." She continued woozily. "You're Dan" She pointed wobbily at Dan as she swooed over before Phil quickly caught. "Oh look, its Phil" she whispered before passing out.
"Jesus Christ, Dan, what did you do?" Phil whispered to Dan trying not to attract more attention than they already had.
"I honestly don't know… Come on let's take her somewhere out of sight" The two guys gently carried the unconscious fangirl to the nearest bench outside. She began to open her eyes to see the two of then staring intently at her.
"Oh God.." She moaned rubbing her sore head "Why today of all days"
"Listen" Phil said reassuringly "Were gonna get you checked up and see you home okay?"
"What? No honestly I'm absolutely fine see?" She said quickly standing up before losing her balance. Dan caught her arm quickly before she would fall over. "No, come on." Dan said balancing her and leading her to the nearest hospital. "What is your name by the way?"
"Oh, I'm Hannah, yeah just a warning I don't do well in these situations especially with the very two guys I cry about every day because you are just too much for me to handle and I really should be going because I think I might just start hyperventilating so yeah live long and prosper, faggots. No shit sorry you're not really faggots I love you both oh god I think I have concussion on second thoughts I think I do need checking up in that case, ONWARDS" She rushed on towards the hospital.
Dan and Phil grinned at each other before following the blabbering mess and making sure she didn't fall over again.
