Disclaimer: Some of this story was inspired by another amazing fanfic called The Art Of Making Friends by Rianonymous I don't own Dan,Phil,Chris,or PJ I only own my thoughts Blah blah blah Sorry I am new on this site. Anyway On with my first Phanfic! *Virtual Hugs*
Dan's POV:
It was a typical morning, first day back to school. I was not what you would call 'excited'. I wasn't scared but I just didn't want summer to end. Staying inside and playing video games with my friends sounds much more fun than exams, homework,and projects. At least my great friends Chris and PJ will be there with me. I am now 17, and my summer vacation was pretty much just hanging out with friends and sometimes family but I mainly just relaxed and hung out in my room playing video games. I tried to stay sort of social but that's pretty difficult when you have video games, internet, and food in your house. Anyway this year would be different since we are getting new roommates. I mean it seems like fun, dorm parties or getting to leave your parents home but I'm not looking forward to the awkward days with my new roommate. Last year I didn't even have a roommate. My parents thought it would be a great idea to send me to a boarding school. They didn't want me out of the house, they just thought it would "prepare me for college and teach me how to look after myself".
I woke up and glanced at the clock next to my bed. I groaned it read 5:30 am. "Ugh why do I have to wake up?" I thought, I picked up my phone and glanced at the screen.
I had one message from Chris saying, 'First day back! PJ and I will meet you in the administration office at about 8:00 if that's cool with you.'
I responded with 'Sure man can't wait see you there.'
I got up, showered and got dressed. Luckily I had all I needed for my dorm already packed up in boxes and ready to go. I looked in the mirror to see if I was presentable enough. I was wearing my favorite black eclipse t-shirt along with my favorite black skinny jeans. I threw the last of my books into my backpack and walked downstairs.
I walked into the dining room and sat down at the table. My mum had already made me a bowl of cereal.
"Good morning sweetheart, would you like a cup of milk?" My mum called cheerfully from the kitchen.
"Uh yes please." I called back. She walked back to the table and set the milk down I thanked her as she sat down.
"Your father had to leave for work early but he sent his blessing for you, dear. Oh I'm just so proud of you!" She exclaimed happily. I smiled and replied with
"It's not that big of a deal but I'll do my best to get good grades and make friends."
She beamed proudly and chirped "Oh my little boy is all grown up your father and I couldn't be happier for you! But please do stay out of trouble and be nice."
I nodded and stood up to take care of my dishes. I glanced at the clock which read 6:30 am, the school was about 20 minutes away from my house so I still had a little bit of time before I had to leave. I took this time to make a new music playlist and put all my boxes in my car, well it was really my mum's car. After I had played a few intense rounds of Flappy Bird the time read 7:20 so I figured it was time to head to school.
"Hey mum I'm getting ready to head to school." I called out. I heard her gasp and rush through the house from her room to the lounge. She beamed at me and pulled me in for a tight hug. She was hugging me so tightly I could barely breath. Once she finally released me I saw tears brimming her eyes.
"Oh Daniel, we are going to miss you more than words can describe the house will be so quiet. Now go and do us proud!" She announced. I stepped out of the door and turned back to face her
"Now don't forget to call we aren't that far away and remember we will support you and we will love you no matter what." She said happily.
"You're making it sound like I'm moving overseas. I'm just going to school and it's only a few roads down, I'll be able to visit you on holidays and between semesters. I'm going to go now. I love you too make sure you tell that to dad for me." I replied.
I walked to my mum's car, which my dad was going to pick up on his way home from the building near the school where he worked as a lawyer. I got in the car and drove to the school. I pulled up and walked to the front office. Which I assumed was the administration office.
Phil's POV
I woke up to my mum shaking me and happily cheering "Philip it's your first day back to school come on I've got breakfast ready you don't want to be late."
"Ugh 5 more minutes." I groaned.
"Nope you have to get up!" She said, tearing the blanket from my bed.
"Fine I'll be down as soon as I get dressed." I gave in.
She grinned and walked back downstairs. I got up and looked in the mirror. I looked like I always did, my pale skin was contrasted by my black hair which was styled to an fringe. I got dressed in some black skinny jeans and a Pokemon t-shirt with a hoodie.
I'm 17 now and I have to go back to my boarding school. Last year wasn't so great my roommate never talked to me and was always partying at some other room. I'm super shy and have a stutter so I was bullied almost everyday. I didn't think this year was going to be any different, except for the roommate. My boxes that had everything I needed were all packed up and in the trunk of my mum's car. After I finished my breakfast I put on my shoes and asked my mum if she was ready to drive me to school (she refused to let me drive because she wanted to be the one taking me there for my 'big day').
"Okay sweetheart are you sure you have everything?" She asked walking entering the lounge.
"Yes mum I already checked 4 times I'm 100% sure I have everything don't worry." I said, sliding my headphones off.
"Okay make sure you get good grades and respect your teachers." She said, staring straight into my eyes. "Oh sweetie I really hope you can get over this shyness and open up more, please try to make some friends there are lots of great kids there you just have to open up." She said, tearing up.
"I know mum it's just hard." I replied.
"Okay dear well let's go." she said.
I nodded and followed her out to the car. We get in the car and head off to the school as we are driving, I am sitting there listening to Muse looking out the window.
I was in the middle of daydreaming when I was snapped out of my daze when my mum snapped her fingers in front of my face.
I slid my headphones off my head. "Sorry pardon?" I said calmly.
She smiled and replied gently, "We're here sweetheart this is where I leave you."
I frowned. Just great,I thought, the one person I feel comfortable around and don't stutter is leaving me for the next semester. I've gone through this before and I know the school, it's just I have new classes and a new roommate.
"Okay well I'll visit you in between semesters mum goodbye I love you." I sighed and hugged her.
"Alright honey just remember to talk to people and make friends I love you."
I nodded and exited the car after grabbing my bags and heading to the front office. As I approached I noticed I was the first one there. I almost shouted in excitement (but I obviously didn't). I walked up to the lady and as soon as she saw me she smiled sweetly. The school was full of nice staff members but not so nice students.
"What can I help you with sweetie?" she beamed.
"U-um I need my t-times table and d-d-dorm number p-please." I asked, trying my best to be polite.
"Alright sweetheart what's your name?" she asked glancing at her computer screen.
"P-p-phil L-lester." I answered, glad she didn't mind my stutter which I have in certain social situations.
She typed for a bit on her computer then spun around in her chair and started picking through some files. She grabbed one and spun back around and handed some papers and a key card to me. "Here you go your dorm is on the 3rd floor and your classes and a map of where they are is in there. Good luck on your first day. Have a nice day sweetheart." she said, grinning.
"T-thank you h-h-have a nice day." I said softly. She smiled and waved. I waved back and walked towards the dorms.
Dan's POV:
I pulled up to the front office and parked. I checked my phone it read 8:02 am. I got out of the car and walked past the crowd of people looking for Chris and PJ.
"Hey Dan! Dan!" I heard a familiar voice call from behind. I spun around to see Chris and PJ standing there, bags in hand and smiles on their faces.
"Hey guys!" I said, walking over to them, dragging my bags behind me.
"So guess who my roommate is this year?" Chris asked playfully almost jumping with excitement. I glanced at PJ who rolled his eyes and grinned.
"Who is your roommate, Chris?" I asked, rolling my eyes as well.
"Well, my grandma happens to know one of the staff members that helps picks roommates and I managed to have her let me pick my roommate. So now I'm roommates with PJ!" Chris announced, hugging PJ. "
Yeah yeah but I'm just waiting to see who Dan's roommate is." PJ said, nudging my shoulder.
"We'll just have to find out, let's go get our time's table and dorm keys come on." I said, motioning for them to follow me. (Note: I know this is super boring and slow but I'm working on it :P) After we finished that we headed for the dorms.
Phil's POV:
I stood outside of the door to my dorm. I checked the number then swiped my key card. I opened the door and stepped into the dark room. I switched on the light and glanced around. The room had 2 beds one on the right and one on the left. The room was almost entirely furnished, aside from the 2 beds there was also 2 dressers and bedside stands and a TV along with 2 desks. I chose the right side of the room and set down my bags. I hope my roommate doesn't mind taking the left side. I thought as I plugged in my speaker and turned on my playlist, I smiled as Muse played. I unpacked until my playlist ended and everything was put away. I heard footsteps outside followed by laughter as I heard the footsteps approach I turned off my phone and sat on my bed. I heard the footsteps stop outside of the door. I heard some murmurs and then footsteps heading down the hallway. I heard the key card click and saw the door knob turn. My nerves started to act up as the door opened.
The person stepped inside. The boy was tall, a bit taller than me had brown hair styled to a similar fringe to me on the opposite and had brown eyes. He smiled at me showing his dimples. "Hey, so this is my room then? My name's Dan, Dan Howell what's yours?"
I smiled back, blushing slightly "M-my n-n-names Phil, P-phil Lester, nice t-to m-meet you."
"Nice to meet you too Phil." he said, sitting down on his bed. He started setting up his side of the room listening to music with headphones on.
By the time he finished it was time for classes.I gathered up my books and began walking down the hall. I went to my first class which was Social Studies. We were assigned our seats and I sat next to Josh Quarters, one of the school's bullies who hated me. I sat down next to him without a word.
"So how was your summer Lester?" he asked, obviously teasing me.
"U-u-mm i-it w-was okay." I mumbled.
He chuckled,"O-o-oh r-really L-lousy L-lester ?" he said in a mocking tone. I nodded and the rest of the class neither of us said a word.
I gathered up my books and headed out to the hall where I was knocked to the floor. I looked up to see 3 tall figures standing above me. I quickly identified these figures as the school's 'populars'.
"Oi f*gg*t." (Note: I refuse to even type the actual word) One of the boys said stepping forward. I quickly realized it was the leader of the little 'group', Dylan Jones.
"Hey guys, Lester's here! Come on let's have fun with him!" Dylan shouted at the two boys behind him. Then another two guys walked up behind them. I curled up a bit, bracing myself for whatever they were going to do.
"I'll take the first hit boys." Dylan laughed. He kicked me in the stomach and I winced in pain. I looked up only to be met with a fist to the cheek. They began shouting continued their attack until I had 1 or 2 bruises and tears running down my face. I had always been super sensitive which is why I'm picked on. I never try to come up with a sassy come back as my mum said I was 'too sweet'.
After they finished an announcement came on saying "Excuse me students but we have decided to let you take the rest of the day off to take care of your dorms and just relax okay that is all have a nice day." then the announcement cut off. I heard a few students cheer as I made my way back to my dorm. I opened the door to see Dan sitting at his desk.
Dan's POV
I heard the dorm door open and spun around to see Phil standing there.
"Hey Phil what's up?" I said as he walked in and sat down on his bed.
"N-n-nothing much w-what a-about you." Phil replied I had to make sure to be kind around him I just met him but I could already tell he was super shy. After all he even had a stutter.
"Oh nothing it's just great to be back you know." I said sarcastically. He smiled shyly and as he looked at me I saw a bruise on his cheek.
"Phil..." I began walking towards him. He looked a bit scared. I crouched down in front of him.
"Y-yes?" he stuttered.
"What happened to your cheek?" I asked gently. He looked a bit surprised.
"O-o-oh umm n-nothing." He said looking down at his feet.
"Are you sure?" I asked I couldn't help but be concerned he looked so scared.
"U-um." he started.
"Phil you can trust me I promise." I said trying to comfort him.
"D-dylan J-jones and his f-friends but it's n-not that b-big of a d-deal." he said smiling weakly.
"Dylan did this?" I asked sort of loudly.
Phil nodded. Without saying a word I rushed to the bathroom in our dorm room and grabbed an ice pack from the first aid kit under the sink. I walked back over to Phil and pulled up my desk chair and sat in front of him.
"Phil." I said softly. He looked up at me. I pressed the ice pack to his cheek. He seemed a bit shocked at first but I continued.
"It's okay it's just a bruise." I chuckled softly.
He smiled, "T-t-thank you D-Dan."
"It's no problem Phil." I smiled happy he was okay. I don't know why but I feel like I've known Phil forever even though I know almost nothing about him. He just seems so sweet and helpless.
"R-really t-thank you n-nobody h-has ever been t-this n-nice to me." Phil admitted looking at his feet.
"Again Phil it's no problem I don't mind." I said softly.
He smiled and began fiddling with the hem of his shirt which I just noticed was a Pokemon shirt. "Hey I really like your shirt do you like Pokemon?" I said.
"Y-yeah I l-love Pokemon." He said.
"Cool me too I think we may have more in common than we thought." I chuckled.
I looked down a his arm and noticed another bruise. I frowned "Hold still." I said. I went and grabbed another ice pack. I went and sat back down and held the ice pack to his arm.
"A-a-re you s-s-sure you don't m-mind d-doing this?" Phil asked softly.
"Of course not Phil I don't mind at all." I smiled.
We sat there for a few seconds before we heard a knock at the door. I opened it to see Janis standing there. She was the boys dorm advisor and was actually pretty nice.
"Dorm room inspection sweetie are you Dan Howell?" She asked with a smile.
"Yes." I responded,stepping aside to let her in. She stepped in the room.
"Okay." She began, looking down at her clipboard "You're roommates with Phil Lester is he here?" She asked.
"I-I'm r-r-right h-here miss." Phil said softly. She smiled and looked around for a bit as I sat across from Phil still holding the ice packs to his bruised skin.
"Okay darlings well your dorm checks out well so I guess we're all good have a nice day." She said as she walked out and closed the door.
I turned back to Phil who looked sort of guilty."Phil what's wrong?" I asked.
"Y-y-you're taking care of m-m-me w-when you s-should be h-h-hanging out w-w-with your f-f-friends." He muttered guilt filling his voice.
"Phil it's fine don't worry about it I want to help you." I said.
"R-really?" He asked, looking a bit shocked.
"Really." I responded. We sat there in silence for a few minutes until I noticed the ice packs melted. I frowned.
"D-Dan w-w-what's wrong?" Phil asked.
"The ice packs melted." I frowned. "Oh well how do your bruises feel, do they hurt?" I asked, setting the ice packs aside.
"I-I-I'm f-fine t-thank y-you." He said in his usual soft tone. I smiled. Phil glanced at his watch. "I-I-it's 4:45 I h-h-have t-to s-study again t-t-thank y-y-you so much." He said shyly.
"Okay well I'm going to go to my friends dorm down the hall are you going to be okay?" I asked. Phil nodded.
I smiled and left heading down the hall to Chris and PJ's dorm. I knocked on their door. Chris opened it and smiled.
"Hey Danny-boy what's up?" He laughed inviting me in.
"Nothing much what's about you?" I asked sitting in a bean bag chair.
"Oh hey Dan!" PJ said walking out of the bathroom. I hung out there for about an hour and a half or so until I realized that we had to be in our own dorms early tonight.
"Well guys I better go see you tomorrow good night." I said as I walked out the door. I walked down the hall until I reached my dorm.
I opened the door to see Phil sitting on his bed surrounded by books and papers.
"Hey Phil what are you doing?" I asked as I sat down on my bed.
He glanced up from his books. "S-s-studying." he replied.
"For what class?" I asked, as I plugged in my phone and computer.
"S-science and L-l-litature." Phil said as he scribbled down a few notes.
"Hey Phil is that a Totoro plushie?" I asked staring at the plush toy on his bed.
"O-oh y-yeah you r-regonized i-it?" he asked looking up from his notes.
"Yeah I love that movie." I said excitedly.
"M-m-me t-too." Phil smiled.
"Oh! I have an idea!" I shouted and jumped on my bed.
"W-w-what?" Phil asked, surprised by my outburst.
"Let's have a movie night!" I yelled happily.
Phil blushed slightly. "W-w-what do y-you m-m-mean." he sputtered.
"I mean you can pick out some movies an we'll chill out and watch them." I grinned.
"A-a-are y-you sure?" Phil asked, nervously fiddling with his pencil.
"Yeah come on it'll be fun after all tomorrow is Friday so we can stay up late it'll be like a sleepover!" I shouted, grinning like an idiot.
"O-o-okay if y-y-you're s-sure y-you want t-to." Phil said still fiddling his pencil.
Oh I forgot to ask if actually wanted to hang out. "Sorry I forgot to ask if you had plans or if you wanted to hang out I'm such an idiot." I said as I face palmed.
"O-o-oh I d-don't h-have any plans i-i-it's j-just nobody h-has invited m-me t-to do a-anything l-like this before b-but I w-would l-love to h-hang out." Phil smiled.
"Yes! So you can pick out some movies after your classes and I'll get some snacks so we can hang out and watch them together." I said.
"I-i-is a-anybody else g-g-going to b-be there?" Phil asked softly. I shook my head, knowing that Phil was very shy and I didn't want to overwhelm him. "O-o-okay t-t-that s-seems l-like fun." Phil smiled.
"Woo-hoo movie night!" I said happy he agreed to hang out with me.
"W-w-well I'm d-d-done s-studying s-so I'm g-going to g-get ready f-for bed." Phil said as he began putting his books away.
"Hey Phil I was wondering, do you want to play some video games with me I mean you don't have to I was just wondering." I asked. "S-s-sure I l-love video g-g-games." Phil smiled shyly.
"Okay fancy some Mario Kart then?" I asked hopefully.
"S-s-sure." Phil smiled.
I hooked up the system and we both sat down. I fired up the game and handed Phil the controller. "Letsa go!" I said playfully. Phil smiled and nodded. I hit the start button and we began the first match.
"Yes yes yes yes YES!" I shouted as I past the finish line coming in first again.
"D-d-darn it y-you're too g-good at t-this!" Phil shouted as he set down the controller and glanced at his phone. "It's g-g-getting late I'm g-going to b-bed thank y-you f-for letting me p-p-play w-with y-you." Phil said as he put his controller away.
"Thanks for playing with me Phil you're fun to hang out with." I said honestly.
"T-thank y-you g-good night D-Dan." Phil said as he plugged in his phone and got in bed. I put away my controller and got into bed as well.
"Good night Phil." I said as I switched off my bedside lamp and Phil did the same. This was a pretty good first day.
Phil's POV:
I woke up the next day to my alarm going off. I sat up and looked across the room to see Dan was still asleep. I got up and showered and dressed. By the time I got out Dan was up.
"Good morning Phil." He said happily.
"G-g-good m-morning Dan." I said softly with my usual stutter that he thankfully didn't seem to mind.
"Don't forget to pick up some films for our movie night it's going to be so much fun!" Dan said as he walked into the bathroom. After I got ready I left for my first class.
Luckily most of Dylan's 'group' decided to skip some of the classes. Then lunch time came. After I had gotten my food I glanced around the lunch room. I spotted Dan sitting at a table filled with people. There were 7 girls and about 8 boys (including Dan). He seemed happy and I didn't want to bother him so I headed for the bathroom stalls. I've eaten lunch in here before it's not like anybody invited me to sit with them anyway. I finished my lunch and waited patiently for the bell to ring. Nobody ever really used these restrooms during lunch considering there were some in the cafeteria anyway. I enjoyed the peace and quiet being alone wasn't so bad. I mean I've gotten used to it but I guess it wouldn't hurt to make some friends. I've tried to make friends but they all end up turning on me or pushing me away. I just gave up after a while it's not like anybody cared anyway. I tapped my foot and waited for the bell to ring. 3 minutes later the bell finally rang allowing me to run to the library for my free period.
Once I entered the library I relaxed a bit. I was happy here, I loved to read it was a nice distraction from the bullies and stress. I grabbed 2 books and went to check them out. The librarian stamped the book and said "Here you go Phil make sure to return those next week." I nodded and headed for the table in the corner of the room where I knew nobody would bother me.
I heard the door swing open and lifted my head to see who it was. I was surprised to see Dan there surrounded by at least 5 girls who were all basically jumping on him. I turned my attention back to my book and continued to read.
I heard slight murmurs of their conversation and I could make out a few words and I heard one of them say "Who's that freak in the corner?"
Then another replied with "I don't know what a loner weirdo probably an new kid or something whatever he's a loser."
I looked up again to glance at the group and saw Dan looking around the library. "Okay girls you need to go back to class you don't have free period right now I'll see you later bye." Dan said motioning to the door "Bye Dan!" they all chirped and walked out of the library. I buried my face in my book once again, hoping he didn't notice me.
Dan's POV:
After those girls said that about 'the guy in the corner' I wanted to see who it was. I glanced around the corners and finally spotted a boy with black hair who's face was buried in his book. Then I recognized him.
It was Phil. I approached him slowly and cleared my throat to get his attention. "Hey Phil what's up can I sit her?" I said happily. He nodded and I took a seat across from him. He seemed pretty upset I'm guessing he heard what those girls said.
"Did you hear what those girls said?" I asked.
"Y-y-yeah." Phil replied as he set his book down. I sighed. "I-i-it's f-f-fine I'm u-u-used t-to it." He said.
"Do people really treat you like that?" I asked feeling anger rising up.
"Y-y-yeah." He said softly. He seems so innocent what could he have done to deserve this?
"Well I promise to never treat you like that." I said with no doubt in my words. Phil looked up in surprise
"R-r-really?" He asked. I nodded."T-t-t-thank y-you D-D-Dan." He said.
"No problem Phil, I can't wait for our movie night don't forget." I said playfully. Phil smiled and nodded.
I felt my phone vibrate and saw that Lucy, a girl I had met at the end of the year and who loves to flirt with me, was calling me.
"I have to take this be right back." I smiled. Phil nodded and I stepped out of the library and picked up the phone.
"Hey Danny." she said in a sweet flirty voice.
"Hi Lucy." I responded.
"So some of my friends are having a party tonight and I was wondering if you would like to come it'll be a blast." she said giggling.
"Sorry I can't I'm hanging out with a friend tonight." I replied honestly.
"But Danny!" She whined.
"What Lucy? I'm sorry I already have plans." I said softly trying to calm her.
"Well are you sure you can't get a rein check or something?" Lucy suggested.
"I'm sorry I'm not into parties you know that." I said.
"Ugh fine I give up oh well I'll see you Monday Dan bye!" Lucy said as she regained her chirpy attitude and hung up.
I walked back to the table Phil was sat at and sat across from him.
"Sorry about that." I said.
"I-i-i-it's n-no problem." He mutters shyly.
"That was Lucy she was inviting me to some party." I explain.
"A-a-are y-you g-g-going t-to t-the p-p-party?" Phil said sadly as he flipped through his book.
"What? Of course not. I'm having a movie night with you I'm not giving that up for some silly party." I grinned.
"T-t-thank y-you." Phil said softly. He reminded me of a shy little animal like a bunny that people like the bullies 'hunt' even though there's no point it just makes them look cool or tough.
"It's no problem Phil I'm happy you agreed to hang out with me." I said.
"T-t-thank y-you f-f-for i-inviting m-me t-to h-hang o-out." Phil sputtered softly.
"Hey Phil may I see your times table?" I asked. Phil nodded and dug in his pocket. He pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper and passed it to me. I took it and glanced over I worked out that we had 4 classes together including lunch.
"Well at least we have science and art and free period together." I said as I handed the paper back to him. I couldn't wait of this movie night.
******************************************************Le Time Skip***************************************************************
Dan's POV (again):
I headed out of the little store on our campus, arms filled with junk food. I made my way through the halls and tried to see if I could spot Phi anywhere.
"Dan! Hey Danny-boy!" I heard someone call from behind.
"Yes Chris?" I asked without turning around.
"How did you know it was me?" Chris asked as he walked in front of me.
"Well I know your voice and you called me 'Danny-boy'" I chuckled.
"You got me so why do you have all that food?" Chris asked, eyeing the junk food I was holding.
"Phil and I are having a movie night." I said.
"Really that sounds fun can PJ and I join?" He asked.
"Sorry he's super shy and I don't want to overwhelm him." I said.
"Okay." Chris said. His phone beeped and he glanced at it. "Sorry man I got to go PJ is like having a heart attack he thought I died." Chris chuckled.
"Alright see you man." I said. Chris waved and nodded. Then I kept walking until I reached my dorm. I unlocked the door and stepped inside. I saw that Phil has already set up a little area with two very comfy looking bean-bag chair in front of the TV and even a little table in between them then surrounded by pillows and plushies. I noticed a little note on the table. I picked it up, it read Hey Dan I went to pick up the movies and I set up a little area for us sorry if you didn't want me to. Anyway see you back here in a few. -Phil. I smiled to myself and put the note away. I set the food down and sat on the bean-bag chair. I sat and waited and waited and waited. Man he sure is taking a while.
I thought. I heard an unsteady knock at the door and I jumped up to answer it. I opened it to see a pretty disoriented looking Phil standing there.
"H-h-hi D-D-Dan s-s-sorry I'm a l-little late." He said softly, clutching onto a small bag in his arms.
"It's no problem Phil." I said, stepping aside to allow him inside.
"So what movies did you pick." I asked as we sat down on the bean-bag chairs.
"O-o-oh umm I w-w-wasn't r-r-really sure w-what t-to pick." Phil admitted holding onto the bag tighter.
"It's alright let me see." I assured him and held out my hand. He handed the stack of movies.
"Okay Kill Bill, Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro, The Shining, Scream 1,2, and 3, and The Exorcist." I read aloud as I flipped through the films.
"S-s-sorry it's j-j-just t-that Kill Bill, H-H-Howl's M-M-Moving Castle, My Neighbor T-T-Totoro and S-Scream are s-some of m-my f-favorite m-movies I d-d-didn't know w-what else t-to p-p-pick." Phil said nervously.
"There's no reason to be sorry Phil. I love these films. Couldn't have picked better." I smiled.
"R-r-really I p-p-picked s-some horror m-m-movies that I've n-n-never s-seen I w-w-wasn't s-s-sure if y-you were o-o-okay with t-that." Phil answered honestly staring down at his hands.
"It's alright I'd love to watch these let's set up the first movie don't worry I got lots of snacks." I said. Phil smiled shyly and nodded. I set up the first movie which was Kill Bill. I sat the snacks down and opened a pack of Malteasers. Phil grabbed 2 soft fluffy blankets and handed one to me shyly. I thanked him and we watched Kill Bill and My Neighbor Totoro until we got to The Exorcist.
"Okay next movie The Exorcist." I said as the credits for My Neighbor Totoro began rolling.
"Have you seen it before?" I asked as I placed the DVD in the DVD player. Phil shook his head "
H-h-have y-you?" he asked.
"Nope but I heard it's really good." I said as I pressed play.
The movie started and we settled into our chairs. As the movie went on I heard some yelps escape Phil's mouth. He jumped and grabbed onto my sleeve. He froze once he realized what he had done. He quickly sank back into his chair
"O-o-oh God I'm s-s-sorry." he said and lowered his eyes. I moved my chair closer to his and wrapped my giant blanket around us both. I pulled Phil in closer and wrapped my arms around him. He leaned into my touch.
"Is this okay?" I asked. I felt him nod and snuggle into my chest. I smiled "Good." I whispered. He yelped again and snuggled further into my chest. I nuzzled into his shoulder and quietly asked
"Do want to turn the movie off?" I felt him shake his head
"I r-r-really l-like t-the movie it's j-j-just a l-little s-scary." he stuttered softly.
"Ok as long as you're sure." I said and turned my head to watch the movie.
I picked up Phil and pulled him into my chair, which had enough room for both of us. He yelped softly in surprise as I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist, lifted him up and dragged him into my chair. I giggled and placed him on my lap.
"A-a-are y-you o-okay w-with this?" He asked shyly "I'll m-m-move if y-you want m-me to." I shook my head and pulled him down so he was curled up on my lap with his head on my chest, facing the TV. I smiled and we sat there, watching movies we got to Scream 2 and I had to get up to change the movie. I nudged Phil slightly and he shifted so I could get up. I sat back down and wrapped my arms firmly around him as he snuggled into my chest again. "I think we should have more movie nights like this." I chuckled. I felt Phil mumble in agreement then snuggle up a bit closer.
"S-s-sorry if I'm m-m-making y-you u-uncomftable." Phil said suddenly.
"You're not trust me." I said and bury my face in his hair. A few moments later I heard Phil's breathing become more still and felt his muscles relax. I heard a little snuffle from his mouth confirming that he was asleep. I glanced at him and decided it was better not to wake him. He looked so peaceful and calm. I picked up a few pillows and placed them behind me without waking him. I relaxed and found myself also drifting off to sleep. I flicked the TV off and placed the remote back on the table. I snuggled up to Phil and felt myself drift off to sleep.

Phil's POV:
I woke up and noticed that I wasn't in my bed. I then remembered what happened last night. I smiled at the memory of Dan and I watching movies and joking around it's been a while since I had enjoyed myself and had a friend before. I looked up but then realized I couldn't see anything because I didn't have my glasses on. I tried to make out my surroundings and see if Dan was awake. I heard a very small snore come from him informing me he was asleep. I snuggled myself back into Dan's chest I soon felt myself drift back into sleep.
Dan's POV:
There was a light weight on my chest as I woke up. I looked down to see Phil snuggled up to my chest and my arms were wrapped around him. He looked so adorable and peaceful. One of his hands was in front of his face which was framed by his messy hair while his other hand was gripping weakly at my shirt. I set my head down on top of his and buried my face in his hair. For some reason this felt...right it didn't feel awkward. I guess because I sometimes force people to cuddle me. I just like holding someone it makes me feel loved I guess I don't know. I felt Phil shuffle slightly and looked down to see him squinting and glancing around. He looked up at me with the most adorable little tired face and bed head. He look like a little child.
"Good morning." I smiled at his adorableness.
G-good m-morning." He mumbled back still glancing around and squinting.
"Phil what are you looking for?" I asked.
"M-m-my g-g-glasses."
"I didn't know you wore glasses." I said. "Oh there they are." I said as I spotted the glasses. I grabbed them and placed them on Phil's face.
"T-t-thank y-y-you." He said, blinking as his eyes adjusted.
"No problem so we have a whole day what do you want to do?" I asked as I straightened my bed head a little.
"O-o-oh I d-d-didn't k-k-know y-y-you w-wanted to I m-mean I j-just t-thought t-that you w-w-would h-hang o-out with your o-other f-friends." Phil said.
"No they already have plans I want to hang out with you." I said happily. Phil looked up at me and I looked at his eyes, I never realized how beautiful they really were they were a mix between blue and green and even a little yellow.
"R-r-really?" Phil asked in slight disbelief.
"Yeah." I smiled happily.
"So what do you want to do?" I asked him.
"O-o-oh u-um m-m-maybe v-v-video g-games i-if that's ok w-with y-y-you." Phil said.
"That sounds great come on." I said happily, motioning towards the game system.
After about an hour of playing video games with Phil my phone rang.
"Sorry one sec." I said. Phil nodded and smiled shyly. I answered my phone.
"Hey what's up?" I heard PJ's voice on the other end.
"Hey PJ I was just playing some video games. What about you?" I said.
"Well Chris has gotten sick and I was wondering if you could come over please, just for like 30 minutes." PJ pleaded.
"Yeah sure I'll be there in like 5 minutes." I said and hung up.
I turned to Phil. "Hey sorry my friend Chris is sick. So-" He cut me off
"Dan i-i-it's a-alright y-you can g-go." He smiled.
I sighed "Thank you."
Phil smiled and nodded sweetly. I grabbed my phone and wallet then headed down the hall.
Philly's POV:
After Dan left I stood up and left a note reading "Hey Dan I left to one of my classes in case you need me the room number is 213 Thanks, Phil" .
I headed down the hall to the my favorite classroom, the music room. (Note: Phil is an amazingly talented music student) I sat down at the piano and began playing some random tune I learned a while ago.
Music was something that I loved more than anything and it was something I had practiced forever. I knew my music teacher better than any other adult at this school. I pulled out my music paper full of blank measures and began writing down notes. And as I played I sang along to the song I can't remember the name of. It was some love song I had heard on the radio.
As the song came to an end I heard clapping coming from the doorway causing me to jump and spin around. I was relieved to see it was just my music teacher Benny (Early Supernatural reference anybody haha I am trash) standing there grinning.
Benny smiled as he made his way towards me and took a seat across from me. "That was brilliant Phil!" He exclaimed. Benny was a long time family friend and I had known him my whole life.
"T-t-thank you B-Benny." I beamed.
"I am so proud of you. Not only have you improved your piano work but you're voice is also incredible!" He said happily.
"Y-y-you r-really t-think so?" I asked.
"Why yes of course it's amazing you are full of so much talent and potential!" He said excitedly. "How about we do a duet real quick?" He asked
Benny was a master on the guitar so I happily accepted his offer. I nodded and smiled.
"Ah brilliant let's began." He grinned.
We began the duet and as always Benny was incredible on the guitar I was happy that I didn't mess up as I didn't see Benny all summer and I wanted to impress him.
As the duet came to and end we played out the last few notes. Benny turned to my and began clapping. I beamed happily.
"Just incredible Phil I didn't think you could get any better." He said.
"W-why t-thank you Benny y-y-you w-w-were a-amazing a-a-as always." I replied
We talked for a while, catching up when Benny suddenly said "Oh I totally almost why I came here I had some papers to fill out." he laughed.
He stood up and walked and picked up some papers. "Anyways Phil I will see you in a few days in music class if you need anything please let me know goodbye." he said.
I nodded "G-g-goodbye B-Benny." I smiled.
He excited the room and headed down the hallway. I continued to play for a little before heading back to the room.
