'c'mon Dan, hurry up!'
Phil had been waiting nearly 20 minutes for Dan now, and they really needed to get this video edited and uploaded that night.
'Yes alright, i'll be there in a second!' Dan called from the kitchen. It seemed to Phil that Dan really did have an endless, bottomless pit of a stomach.
After what seemed like far too long, Dan's head appeared round the corner of Phil's bedroom door.
'You want something to eat, Phil?' Although he appreciated the gesture, Phil really was getting bored now, and just wanted to get the video finished, uploaded, and off to bed.
He shook his head a his best friend, who couldn't help but grin seeing the somewhat sullen and annoyed expression on Phil's face.
'Alright then buddy, hurry up and get on with it!' Dan teased, knowing it would just anger Phil more being told to hurry up, when he was the one waiting in the first place.
It took them longer than expected to finish the video, and both the boys found themselves slugging to their beds, and falling to sleep straight away.
Still, no matter how tired he was it seemed that Phil could never keep the dreams away. Ever since he had moved in with Dan he'd been having these dreams. Odd ones really, just of him and Dan hanging out, watching t.v, innocent stuff. But every now and then a thought would creep into his head that wasn't entirely welcome.
It came to no suprise to Dan when he awoke to see Phil sitting at the kitchen table, fully dressed with a cup of tea in his hand, and bags under his eyes.
'Dreams again?' Phil just nodded. Dan needed no explination. Though he hadn't exactly experienced the dreams himself, he knew what they were about. Innocent as they were, Dan couldn't help but feel slightly uncomfertable about them, feeling as though Phil was invading some kind of private bubble that only he should have access to. But he couldn't let Phil know he was weirded out, especially since they really didn't mean anything at all.
The boys decided to have a lazy day - not that they ever really had anything but. Dan sat playing Skyrim while Phil sat on his laptop going through Tumblr and answering fan questions. It was always a good place to go to get video ideas.
'Hey, Dan ... come look at this question.' Dan sauntered his way over to the other sofa, leaning over Phil's shoulder.
His eyes filled with silent laughter as he read the words on the screen.
'HA! I swear, with some of these people their perverse minds never cease to amaze me!' The comment had been one that had struck a cord in both the boys, but for very different reasons. For Dan, it was simply amusing, yet another Phan girl trying to egg the boys on. But for Phil is was just another uncomfertable sign of how close he felt to his friend.
It wasn't that Phil fancied Dan, and he knew that for sure. It was just that he had become so familiar with the boy, knew him so well, inside and out, that he sometimes did things that shouldn't really be acceptable. Just small things like touching his arms, or sorting out Dan's hair. And then the dreams.
It just seemed to Phil that the boy's bromance was going a bit too far, but he had no idea how to sort it. And as much as he may like to deny it, Phil knew that he enjoyed being close to Dan, having someone he could tell anything to.
He looked back at those little black words on the screen, grinning to himself at the stupidity of it.
"Hey Phil and Dan! :D My dare is, I double dare you to kiss on camera ... more if you fancy it ;) LOL!"
Still, Phil knew that in this case silence was golden.
