Dans POV
A few hours ago I would have had more colourful words at hand when asked to describe this party. MOTHERFUCKING SICK, is all I can call to mind right now! 'motherfcking' because it just encapsulates all unexplainable feelings of utter epicness into one word, and 'sick' because I really want to get across how daym cool this party is, but also there is a hint of nausea. Just synthetic coloured lighting, a shit load of people –all of whom are making the atmosphere comparable to that of a volcanos inners- muse is pumping out so load from every side, and boooooz! Yeah, I think I may be drunk but screw that I'm 21! It's allowed!
Phils POV
This party is kind of how I image life to be constantly inside PJ's head. Absolutely crazy! I feel a bit stupid cos I have definitely had too much to drink- tbh everyone has! But I kind of set myself a target not to have any spirits and only drink a few beers. It's embarrassing what I light weight I am! But well…I guess that's out the window. But hey, why shouldn't I have some fun? At least we know Jack and Dean so we can always crash here-it doesn't look like Dan is up for a train ride home tonight!
Dan stumbles over to me and hands me a shot! "I really don't think I should!" I shout above the music. Dan tries to say something back, but it is lost in the music. He beckons me to the corner, where it is quieter. "come-on Phil, your pissed anyway, why the hell not?" In my alcohol flooded brain this seems to make perfect sense so I shrug, clink glasses with him and we down them at the same time. Dans face is hilarious, he winces like the drink literally bite him. I know my face must be similar because we just start laughing at each other. I'm pretty sure I spray him while laughing, and he definitely got me. Soon all we have to do is look at each other and mockingly wipe our faces and we can't stand we are laughing so much. It occurs to me that alcohol is so undignified, yet sometimes all we need is our inhibitions loosened so we can have some real harmless fun.
We are still laughing-I don't even really know what about anymore- about 5 mins later when we hear chants of "DO IT!DO IT! DO IT!" coming from the kitchen area. We give each other an almost identical puzzled look, and giggling still get up and walk over to see what is going on.
We walk in to see Dean Dobbs and Chris Kendel on hands and knees-obviously having just crawled to the center of the circle. A bottle lies beneath them on the floor and they look like they are about to kiss. Chis looks really awkward and is shouting over the music "you utter bastards! . ." Dean looks too pissed to care, but shouts back "Just imagine I'm PJ and we can got it over with!" Everyone laughs but continues the "DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!" Chant. "OK OK, but no cameras allowed!" Chris shouts.
They look at each other for a moment and Dean sighs and quickly peaks Chris on the lips.
"WEEEEEEY!" Dan cheers and so does everybody else. Dean and Chris craw back to their positions and the bottle is spin again.
Dans POV:
I go to sit down in the circle of people. Although there are lots of people in the room not very many sit in the circle but are gathered around. These I assume, are the people who are not past the tipsy barrier of drunk yet. Phil nudges my arm saying "What? You genna play?"
"Yeah, cause I am. Why not? Will be a laugh!" I say back.
"But you will get a guy!" Phil says shocked.
"So" I shrug. "Who gives a fuck, we're all friends. Besides whose genna remember this in the morning?" Phil gives me an unconvinced look.
"Aww come-on Phil! It's just a bit of fun! It will be priceless!" Phil shrugs and joins me. I have either convinced him, or the alcohol is governing his actions, but I'm kind of glad I'm not alone, so at least he can be made a fool of too!
This time the bottle lands first on Jack Howard, who raises his arms in mock celebration and says "Right, tell me who is genna be the lucky bugger?" He spins the bottle and it lands on Phil. Phil blushes, but I push him forward towards Jack and he reluctantly smiles. They look around awkwardly for a moment, but then Jack swiftly grabs both sides of Phils face and rather too quickly plants a kiss on Phils still laughing lips.
Next Finn is paired with Alex Day. Alex covers the space between his and Finns mouth after the kiss and they pretend to French it, making loads slurping noises. Then Tim and Sam Pepper are paired and try to outdo Alex's and Finns performance.
Then finally the bottle spins to me! "come-on one of you sexy beasts, who will feed this Llama?!" Everyone laughs, although I think only the people on either side could hear me. I spin the bottle and it lands on Jack (Finns twin). He grins at me and holds out his hand as if to feed me. I pretend to violently rip food from his hand with my teeth. But when I look up and him I think, oh fuck I have to kiss this guy, stuff kind of becomes less funny. We look awkwardly as each other for a moment. "ugh Dan! Come-on! You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?" Jack scolds and swiftly presses his lips to mine. I am very glad when it is over. And as I stumble back to my place I am comforted by the thought that I a definitely not gay."
Phil winks at me and I give him a dirty look as I try to leave the circle, but the bottle lands on me again as I stand up. PJ is blushing. Ohh shit I have to kiss PJ now? Even in my drunk state I really do not want to do this, but he strides over to me and very swiftly kisses the corner of my mouth. YEP, definitely not gay, I think again. I sit down were I am, not being able to remember where I was going in the first place and I crawl back to Phil.
Phils POV:
As Dan crawls back to me he gives me another look and says "Yeah, maybe this was a bad idea! Shall we just watch?" he flicks his head towards the people standing up. I nod vigorously. Chris and Tim kiss behind me. "yeah, that's fine, I really did't like that actually" I say, and Dan nods in mutual agreement as Jack and Dean kiss to woohs of laughter. We stand up together and start to pick our way out of the circle- which was made quite difficult for many people where just lying around the circle, AND alcohol tends to impede your balance! "Phil!" many voices shout!
"Oh no, I'm not playing anymore!" I protest, but they aren't listening. They spin it again.
"Dan!" they yell! Dan shakes his head looking weary; I can see the alcohol is now taking effect on him.
"We were just leaving." Dan calls back. But now the "DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!" chanting is back and they won't listen to our protest. Finally I shrug. "Let's just get it over with." I say.
Dan looks at me and sighing nods.
"It's like a bloody fan girls dream in here!" he shouts shaking his head at everyone.
"haha get it? Phan girl?" I join in. We may as well put on a show for them. That's the way it I figure it. We look at each other then, and giggle like we were earlier. But at least it's not really uncomfortable like it was with Jack Howard when he kissed me. We look at each other again and nod. Simultaneously we lean in and softly press our lips together. I stay there feeling surprisingly not repulsed unlike earlier, and wait for Dan to pull away.
Dans POV:
My lips touch lightly to Phils and I am surprised by the fact that I don't hate this. Sudden concerns about my sexuality start flooding into my head, all the while my lips are unmovingly pressed to Phils. I banish the thoughts and try to think how to proceed. Strangely I kind of want to kiss him properly instead of this unmoving lip thing we are currently doing. If he isn't up for it then he could always pull away and I could blame it on the alcohol. Come to think of it, maybe it is the alcohol. So, I lift my hand and lightly place it on the back of Phils neck. He mimiks me to my surprise and puts his hand on my shoulder. Suddenly I realise my eyes are shut. I peak at Phils who also has his eyes lightly closed. So I close mine again and ever so slightly part my lips. His lips find the new space and tentatively he kisses me back. I part my lips a little further this time and again his fill the space, and ever so slightly he tilts his head and puts more pressure into the kiss.
Phils POV:
I am standing in a room full of people- all of whom I know are watching us, and I am kissing Dan. It's weird. I never even contemplated it as I thing I would do, but I find myself doing it now. And although it is an utterly forging concept to me, it doesn't feel wrong, or like I should be embarrassed. So I go with it. Ever so slightly we mover are lips together in an unfamiliar pattern. It's almost like I'm finding out a new side to him. Like, I know what food he does and doesn't like, I know what pisses him off and how to cheer him up, but I have never touched him more than to give him a matey hug or to receive a high 5. It's perplexing, but nice. Finally it seems like- but probably only after about 12 seconds of actual lip contact someone clears their throats. We both pull away at the same time. Dan looks confused, but perfectly unabashed. "Do you think we put everyone else to shame?" Dan asks me. "Yeah, beat that!" I shout. Everyone looks slightly shocked, but they clap and the game continues. We walk out of the room, me following Dan until he stops in an empty corridor and turns to face me. I look at him, unsure what to say next. He smiles saying "well that could have gone a lot worse, plus I think we definitely killed the competition!" I laugh not sure how serious he is, and how serious I am.
We slide down the wall still laughing vaguely. "Blimey I'm tired!" I say, and Dan nods in agreement yawning. He suddenly, lifts his hand and brushed away a bit of my fringe dangling in front of my eyes. "I need a haircut, right?" I say. One part of me is just sitting there with my best friend after a bit too much to drink at a party, and another part of me is breathless with anticipation at being alone with someone I just kissed. "Humm, it wouldn't go amiss," He said "How' mine? Does it need a hack too?" I look up at him, and slowly run my fingers though his hair. It's so odd to touch him and be touched by him like that in such a casual manner. But again, I don't hate it! "Yeah I think we both could do with one." I say after a pause.
Ahhhh why the hell not!- I think to myself. I cup Dans chin with my hand and pull his face to mine as I lean into him. He doesn't resist, and we find our kiss exactly where we left it.
