"We'll see you guys next week! Bye!" Dan and Phil had just finished filming their latest video, a gaming video of them playing the sims. Dan clicked the button on the camera to stop recording. Phil sighed.
"That was quite an episode for Dil, wasn't it?" Phil said, looking at Dan. Dan blushed at Phil's gaze.
"Er… yeah, it was!" Dan replied. "What time is it? How long were we filming for?" Phil checked his phone.
"It's about half past 11." He told Dan. Dan thought for a moment.
"You maybe wanna watch an episode of anime and then go to bed?"
"Sure!" Phil replied happily. They were in the middle of Your Lie in April and he was desperate to see what happened next. They both got out of their chairs and made their way downstairs to the lounge where Phil sat on couch while Dan searched for the remote. Once he found it he sat down next to Phil and started the episode.
About halfway through Phil was engrossed in the show's world. He didn't notice immediately that Dan had scooted closer to him. He glanced over for a bit and noticed that Dan had wrapped his arm around him.
"Uh… Dan? What are you doing?" He asked questionably. Dan didn't respond and continued watching the show. Phil frowned and turned back to the TV. The credits started rolling and Dan turned to him, his face uncomfortably close.
"Do you want to watch another one Phil?" asked Dan sweetly. He didn't seem to notice Phil's discomfort. Phil wiggled his way out of Dan's grip.
"Umm.. I should really get to bed Dan." He said without looking at him. Dan raised one eyebrow.
"Phil? You okay?" asked Dan, concerned. Phil still wouldn't look at him.
"I'm fine, Dan, I'm just… really tired… okay?"
"Well, if you say so…" Dan said, not convincing himself. "Goodnight then." Phil left the room without saying another word. Dan wordlessly made his way to his own room, still confused about what had just happened.
In his own room, Phil sat on his bed, still trying to process what happened. Dan put his arm around him. He told him off, and then went to bed. So why did he feel… so unfulfilled? It wasn't as if he wanted Dan to put his arm around him….did he? Wait no, what was he thinking? He didn't like Dan! Well, I mean he was his best friend, but he didn't like him like that! He didn't even like guys! He stayed up for another hour thinking, until he finally drifted off into a confused sleep.
The next morning when he woke up, Phil thought of a plan. He didn't like guys, and he didn't like Dan that way. Maybe he should get a girlfriend, and that would sort everything out. He took a deep breath and got his laptop from his bedside table. He logged in and went to a dating website. Of course being him, he wouldn't find someone any other way. He quickly set up a profile and chose a few pictures of himself to use. He pressed post, and he was officially looking for a girlfriend. Because he liked girls, not guys, and he definitely didn't like Dan that way. No way.
