Dan's POV:

"Boys, dinner is ready" Phil's Dad shouted upstairs.

My stomach dropped, I had barely eaten all day, but I found it extremely hard to have an appetite at a time like this. Phil offered me a reassuring smile, which I mirrored back at him. I stood up from the bed, I felt light-headed as I followed Phil down the stairs.

Phil's brother was already sat at the dinner table, while his Mum and Dad were placing the plates at the table. Normally nothing could stop me eating lasagne, but I felt too queasy to even look at it. I sat down in between Phil and his brother, I noticed Phil shaking his leg up and down. This was his nervous habit. Under the table, I held his hand, he stopped shaking his leg and gave my hand a slight squeeze.

His family were now all sitting at the table, asking us about YouTube and things. I pushed the lasagne around the plate, forcing myself to eat it to avoid seeming rude. I was constantly on edge every time Phil opened his mouth.

"So two good looking boys like yourselves, any ladies?" His Mum joked.

Phil and I exchanged a look, his face expression summed up exactly what I was feeling, I guess was it.

"Oh I'll take that as a yes" His Dad laughed, noticing the look we exchanged.

"Well not exactly" Phil said.

"Is that a yes or a no?" His brother asked, then shovelled a forkful of lasagne into his mouth.

"Yeah I do have someone" Phil said, making eye contact with his family for the first time throughout this conversation.

"Oh Phil" His Mum gushed, "You'll have to bring her home someday".

Phil glanced at me, almost like he was telepathically telling me to brace myself.

"That's the thing" Phil said, "It's not a her".

I saw both his Mum and his Dad's mouths drop, his brother's head shot up, he looked as if he was under the impression he had heard wrong. I felt like I was seeing this all take place in slow motion.

"Sorry what was that Phil?" His Dad said.

"Look I know it's a shock, believe me: It was a shock to me too" Phil said.

What felt like an hour long of awkward and shocked glances were passed around the table. His Dad had tried to say something at least three times, but he didn't seem to know what to say and I could understand.

"Is it someone we know?" His Mum finally choked out.

Phil looked at me, I guess it's my cue.

"It's me" I said, trying to sound confident.

"Oh my this is a lot to take in" His Mum said fanning herself with her hand.

"I know it is, I've been worried about telling you for a while now" Phil said.

"Oh Phil, why were you worried?" His Mum asked.

"I didn't know how you'd react" Phil replied.

Meanwhile his brother sat next to me, completely speechless. I didn't know what to say, or if I should even say anything.

"Phil, we love you, no matter what" His Mum said walking over to him and giving him a big hug.

"Of course we do, it's just a lot to take in over dinner" His Dad smiled.

I sat in the middle of this family heart to heart, part of me felt awkward but the other part was glad that Phil's family were fine with the whole thing. I just prayed that my family would react even half as well.

"And you Mister, make sure you treat my son well" His Mum said, pulling herself away from Phil and waggling her finger jokily at me.

"Don't worry, you have my word" I smiled, getting a quick glimpse of Phil's beaming smile.

"Well at least we won't have to dig out extra bed sheets for Phil tonight" His brother laughed.

We all burst into laughter, it was something I loved about Phil's family – they could always just take a step back and laugh at anything.

-A few hours later-

After a fairly long day, I was getting ready for bed. The nervous feeling had disappeared, Phil's family knew now so there was nothing to hide.

I climbed into bed, I could hear Phil brushing his teeth in the bathroom. My eyes felt heavy, but I didn't want to fall asleep without saying goodnight to him. They began to get heavier and heavier, until I felt my head hit the pillow. I was in a half awake half asleep stage, I felt a kiss on my cheek and the duvet move. I hadn't even heard Phil come in, but I was too tired to worry about it. I snuggled into Phil's side, I fell asleep to the noise of Phil's quiet snuffly snores.
