It's been a week since Dan moved in and I can honestly say I think he is the funniest guy I have ever meet. We have so much in common, it's crazy. He likes everything that I like. And the best part
He's single
Or is the best part he loves Buffy? We haven't moved off the couch all day because we're pretty much glued here watching it. Probably that. But him being single is good news too. I kind of want to ask him about his past relationships. Does that make me creepy? Or just a generally curious friend.
I think probably both.
You know what? I'm going to do it, I mean, I think we're pretty much at best friend level already so why not?
"hey…Dan?"
I asked hesitantly, suddenly realizing maybe this isn't such a good idea. Why did I listen to you brain?
"Yeah?"
He answers, turning to look into my eyes.
That look melts my heart I swear.
"um, well" I shift awkwardly. Yes Phil, this is perfectly normal. You should have at least thought of how to ask him before opening your mouth. "how long have you been single for?"
I see a small spark of something in his eyes. I have no idea what it is though. He seems to be good and keeping a straight expression no matter what he's thinking.
"I think since I was about twelve"
"what! Really?"
I ask in disbelief. How can someone be single for so long?
"you're nearly 22 though, that's like" I paused, counting on my fingers. I heard a small giggle as I counted. Was he laughing at me? Probably going to tell me I act too cutely or something. "nearly ten years!"
He just laughed again, reaching over and ruffling my hair lightly. "you're so cute Phil, you act like it's a big deal"
"It is a big deal!"
"really? Well then, how long have you been single?"
I thought for a second. How long had it been? A few years now, I think. Wait…how did he even know I was single? I'm pretty sure I didn't tell him.
"how do you know I'm single?"
He just smiled and nudged me lightly
"well if you weren't, I would have seen some handsome guy walking around here by now"
Of course. Well done Phil, making yourself look like a fool in front of him again.
"wait! How do you know I'm gay!?"
He burst out laughing at that one. Or maybe it was the expression on my face. I'm pretty sure I must have been pulling one of my weird faces because he couldn't pull himself together at all.
"how could I not notice Phil? It's so obvious" he exclaimed, wiping tears from his eyes as he finally managed to compose himself enough to sit up and talk.
"and what about you?"
He blinked at me, the words obviously processing in his head. cracking a small smile at me.
"what do you think?" he asked, slowly getting closer
Oh god, is he going to kiss me? Please say he is, that would be amazing. Then again, we're just friends. I don't want to mess this up. It's only been a week. I've just meet this guy! What do I do!?
"Dan-"
And of course I took that moment to lose balance and fall backwards, hitting my head off the side of the couch. His smile faded as he gave me a worried look
"oh my god, Phil, are you okay?"
He asked, quickly, leaning over me and placing a hand to the back of my head where I had hit it. He frowned slightly as he ran his smooth fingers through my hair, looking for a bump, or so it seemed.
"I think it's just a little bump" he sighed in relief "don't ever do that again, you scared me" he pointed his finger at me, trying to scold me but failing as a small smile found it's way to his face. Oh god, those dimples again.
This boy is surely going to kill me with his perfection.
