Y'all I don't know why I'm starting this but I'm back... with a multi-chapter phanfic! Hopefully y'all will like it enough for me to continue it for a while :) ~gum wrapper.
Phil has never asked Dan what who his soulmate was. As close as they were, he has never dared to ask. Phil knew who his own soulmate was, the name was permanently etched in broken cursive just above his ankle.
But it's known that sometimes one soulmate will have someone else's name on them and that person will have someone else entirely. Soulmates are not always matched for romantic reasons. There's a few famous cases where one soulmate did something to ruin the others life... yes, soulmates are not always matched for love.
Phil uses that as an excuse to not ask Dan. Phil wears socks that cover the name of the younger boy so that Dan will have to bring it up first. Dan has not brought it up yet and also hasn't asked Phil why he never goes without socks.
Speaking of which,
Phil pulls on a pair of mismatched (yet matched) fuzzy socks. One orange and one blue. He sighs a little as he looks at the name on his inked into skin:
Daniel James Howell
The ink is a dark blue, meaning Phil has met his soulmate already (as if he wouldn't know!).
Phil stands, retreaves a thick blanket off his bed, and goes back out into the lounge. He smiles at the sight before him as he pushes open the door.
"This is the worst fucking Christmas tree to put away!" Daniel, the very one who has his name on Phil's ankle, yells in complaint upon seeing Phil.
"You don't have to take it down," Phil states settling onto the floor beside him.
"It's January now. If we don't get rid of it then it'll be up all of 2012!"
"Oooooh wouldn't that be fun?" Phil laughs at the idea.
The younger boy rolls his eyes and continues to dismantle the tree. He pulls out the branches one by one and carefully lays them in the box.
"What's your resolution for 2012?" Phil asks, a yawn punctuating the end of the question.
"To make more videos. Better quality videos to be specific."
Phil smiles and nods, that's what Dan said last year too. "Nothing new?"
"I like life how it is at the moment. There's nothing I want to change."
