Chapter One

Dan's Problem

Dan liked his fan's to believe that he was a clumsy, scatter-brained young man. In actuality, he was quite the multi-tasker. Laying down on his bed, he juggled between his laptop, his ancient iPod, and his phone. On his iPod, Panic! At The Disco were playing The Ballad Of Mona Lisa into his ears. On his laptop, he was playing The Sims. On his phone, however, he was reading his favorite Phan-Fic for what had to be the hundredth time.

It always began and ended the same, perfect way. Dan loved Phil, Phil loved him back, they both admit they're madly inlove with each other, and live happily ever after.

Dan smiled, then frowned. He wanted to confess his love to Phil more than anything in the world. However, his constant fear of rejection kept holding him back. Soon enough, he'd muster up the courage, he had too. But for now, he remained the king of wishful thinking.

He looked up at the Sims and stared at the screen. It wasn't

The character of Phan, the one he and Phil created for their gaming videos that their supporters were familiar with. This was his personal, private game. It was of him and Phil, living in a modest, one-story house with a white picket fence. Dan gazed at the characters of himself and Phil, kissing in the living room. They were happy together, always. They never fought, only choosing to enjoy each others company and were exactly like how he and Phil were in real life. Minus the kissing and intimacy Dan longed for, they Coexisted in perfect harmony...

CRASH!

Dan bolted upright. Taking his ear buds out and closing his laptop, he ran to investigate the loud noise.

"Dan, I uhh...slipped." Phil blushed, sprawled on the kitchen floor motionless. Just like some homicide victims chalk outline. "I think I hurt my leg pretty good."

"And people think I'M prone to accidents." Dan offered his amusement of the situation as he helped Phil back on his feet. "I think it's time to call it a night."

With one arm around his shoulder, Dan helped Phil to his bedroom. He hobbled on one leg and let out a grunt of pain with each step.

"Why don't we just say 'to heck with it' and get you one of those fancy electric scooters for your daily life?" Dan giggled.

"Hardy har har." Phil said mockingly.

With little trouble, Dan got Phil into his bed and covered him in his blanket, tucking him in.

"My personal hero is quite the caretaker." Phil laughed.

Dan smiled down at this adorable dopey guy, quickly getting lost into Phil's bright blue eyes.

"Don't mention it, you sappy lad, you. Have a goodnight."

As Dan turned to leave, he felt Phil's warm hand grip onto his. He turned back around and looked down at his beautiful face.

"Wait, my leg still hurts," Phil started. "And I'm not really tired yet. Do you think you could... Umm...Possibly lay with me for a few minutes?" He asked with full sincerity in his eyes.

Dan froze at the question. He wanted to say yes more than anything but one thing popped into his mind. Could he control himself? Could he be as calm and natural in a situation like this with Phil like he practiced in his mind over and over again?

The last thing he ever wanted to do was spook Phil and scare him away. That would be his nightmare come true.

"Um, sorry I asked that. I know it might seem weird but I just don't want to be alone right now." Phil said with a tinge of sadness.

"No," Dan said quickly, realizing Phil thought his silence was a sign of discomfort. "I don't mind. My mind just drifted for a second."

Phil smiled like a kid in a candy store and Dan's cheeks began to go red. His throat ran dry and his palms started to sweat. Dan quickly prayed that if he somehow lost himself and confessed his love for Phil, the least Phil would do is let him down easy. With his heart beating wildly and his stomach becoming filled with butterflies, he walked over to the other side of the bed and gently crawled in.

Author's Note: Apologies in advance for how short the first chapter is. Admittedly, I kinda rushed the last few paragraphs because this chapter has been on my phone unfinished for sometime and I just wanted to get it out there asap, haha. My first piece of writing on one of my favorite sites! Small life goal accomplished!
