Dan and Phil spent the rest of the night drinking together and chatting, getting to know each other a little better. Neither of them brought up their earlier argument, they just kind of both silently decided to let it go. Dan was happy with this, as he despised having to apologise. "So," Dan smiled, lifting himself up to sit on the kitchen counter, sipping a strong drink of vodka and red bull. "Tell me what you were like before you turned into a boring corporate robot. When you used to be fun and do coke." Dan grinned at him.
Phil laughed, rolling his eyes and thinking for a moment. "Well unlike you I didn't have rich parents, so I was never quite as bratty as you." he teased, pouring himself a drink. "When I was 21 I got this big promotion. I was working for a local TV channel just doing shitty admin work to make some extra money while I was at uni. Then not long after I graduated I went for a job in London, to be a director, and I happened to get it. I co-directed the first series of this sit com and then it got cancelled, but it got really popular in the states, so I got asked by a TV network over there to direct a remake. I spent four years living between New York and LA, directing and shooting this show. I was getting paid good money for it and I mean, everyone out there was drinking and doing drugs all the time, I just sort of got into it. It was so much fun, I threw so many crazy parties. We had some pretty big celebrities on the show, and we got to party with them... it was pretty awesome looking back. Then when I was twenty five, I got a new job offer, working for the same network as a writer in their London offices. It was better money and I was missing home so I took it. I got a few more promotions over the next two years, and ended up running the whole company." Phil smiled.
"Not long after I moved back to the UK I gave up the drugs and the crazy parties and the clubs... well, for the most part." Phil smiled, wandering over to Dan and standing between his legs, kissing Dan softly. "In fact I settled down and grew up so much that I almost got married a few years ago." he sighed. "Really? To who?" Dan frowned, putting his hands on Phil's waist, running them up and down his sides. Phil laughed a little bitterly. "This girl, her name was Alice. She was a friend of the family, we dated for a while... we never really fell in love – at least I didn't – but it was kind of okay so I just stayed with her, eventually thought we might as well get married."
"Wait wait wait... you were engaged to a woman?" Dan interrupted. Phil nodded. "I'm bisexual. Although I haven't been with a woman since her." he said, taking a gulp of his drink. "About a month before the wedding I started freaking out about it, and I kind of realised I didn't want to marry her. I would have gone ahead with it, but I... well, I cheated on her. I went out to a bar, got really drunk, brought this guy home... she was out that night but she came home early and caught me..." Phil said, biting his lip.
"Obviously we broke up after that. My parents still aren't happy about it, keep trying to get me to get back with her." Phil sighed, "She hates me now... which isn't surprising. I saw her briefly at Christmas and she wouldn't even look at me." He murmured. Dan pouted, kissing Phil on the nose. "That sucks." he said, and Phil just shrugged. "I'm still glad I didn't marry her. I wouldn't have been happy." he said, picking up Dan's empty glass and going to get him a refill. "What about you, anyway? What were you like when you didn't do coke?" Phil asked with a little teasing smile.
Dan laughed. "I was a dork at a private all-boys school. Everyone there was loaded, most of them were dicks... I fucked a lot of guys to be honest. Learned how to deepthroat when I was fourteen. I used to sneak into parties and mess around with the drunk guys who were in sixth form." Dan grinned. "You little slut." Phil teased, handing him his drink.
Dan smiled innocently at him. "You hadn't noticed before now?" he said, putting his hands on Phil's hips. "Everyone aged fifteen or older there drank and smoked, most of them smoked a lot of weed, but only the really rich snobby kids did coke, most of them were seventeen or eighteen. I sucked a lot of dicks to get them to let me hang out with them, I'll tell you. And with that many hormones and a bunch of guys all stuck together, even the most aggressively heterosexual dudes would give in and let a guy suck them off at least once or twice." Dan giggled. "That's where my talents stem from." he smiled sweetly.
Phil shook his head, laughing. "Jesus, I never got my dick sucked in high school. I didn't even have a first kiss until I was eighteen, and I was a virgin until I was twenty." Dan stared at him in disbelief at this news. "What the hell, really? But you're so hot." he said incredulously. "Not at school I wasn't. I was chubby and ginger and freckly. It wasn't until I started uni that I stopped looking like a twelve year old. I dyed my hair and joined a gym." Phil explained. Dan giggled, a little drunkenly, at the idea of a ginger Phil. "That's adorable." he grinned, pulling Phil in for a kiss.
"So when was the last time you did drugs... I mean, apart from when you did coke off me the other week." Dan laughed. "It's been a good few years. I actually really miss weed though. I used to do it a lot." Phil shrugged, and Dan's eyes lit up. "Hey... I have a shit load of weed at my place, we could go to mine...?" he suggested. Half an hour later they were stumbling out of a cab and up to Dan's apartment, already way too drunk. "Hey... I haven't seen your place since you got all your stuff moved in." Phil grinned, following him into the lift.
Dan briefly showed him around before rolling them a blunt each and lighting up. They ended up sprawled out on Dan's bed together, smoking and eating take-out pizza between lazily making out. "I've missed doing weed." Phil grinned. Dan nodded, moving his pizza box out of the way onto the floor. "I feel so great." he giggled, playing with Phil's hair. "Hey, we should go out some time." he said, crawling on top of Phil, straddling his hips. "There's some great bars and clubs really close to here." he smiled, kissing Phil gently. "Oh, I don't know about that. I think I'm a bit too old for that whole scene." he sighed, pushing Dan's hair back out of his face. "I haven't been to a club in years." he said, thinking back.
Dan took a drag from his joint before pouting, kissing Phil's neck. "But I wanna go out and get wasted with you. Maybe let you fuck me in the club toilets." Dan giggled. Phil laughed, exhaling smoke and watching it drift towards the ceiling. "We'll see." he said vaguely, although he had no intention of going clubbing.
He was too old for that - plus, he was beginning to worry that he was getting to attached to Dan. This whole thing was supposed to be purely physical. Sure, Dan had the tightest ass of any guy he'd been with and his mouth felt like heaven, but now they were getting to know each other... talking about their childhoods and getting high together. Phil hadn't planned to do this. This was what friends and people in relationships did, and Dan and Phil were neither of those.
"Hey..." Phil said, looking up at Dan. "When was the last proper relationship you were in?" he asked. Dan just laughed. "Like, three years ago? For a few months. I don't really do relationships, I hate them. I prefer just... I don't know, hanging out with people, not being exclusive. It's much easier. I don't let myself get attached, I can't cheat on anyone or get cheated on, I don't have to bother with valentine's day or any soppy shit like that. It's just chill." he shrugged, rolling off of Phil and lying down next to him. "Really?" Phil asked softly. "That sounds kind of lonely." he frowned, rolling onto his side to look at Dan. Dan just sighed, looking up at the ceiling. "I don't know... not really. I'm fine with it. I've never felt the want or need to have a relationship with anyone." he said, glancing at Phil. "What about you?"
"Well all I've had since we called off the wedding are one-night stands... and you, of course. But I've had some really great relationships in the past. Obviously, excluding the one I had with Alice. But some of the most memorable moments of my life were spent with boyfriends or girlfriends." he said, smiling gently. Dan nodded slowly, not really knowing what to say. "Who was your one relationship with?" Phil asked, and Dan looked over at him. "This guy I met over the summer, we were together for most of the summer break and for a while once I went back to school but I just kind of got bored. I didn't want to be with just one guy for ages. It's fucking boring." Dan shrugged.
Phil bit his lip then couldn't help but ask - "Does that mean you'll get bored of me?" - his voice coming out quieter and less casual than he had intended. "No, no that's not what I mean." Dan said quickly, rolling onto his side so they were face to face. "I just meant, like... when I am in a relationship I get bored. But it's nothing too serious with us. It's not exclusive. And besides, you..." Dan paused. He didn't want to admit that Phil was his best fuck yet, because that wasn't a title he handed out lightly. "You know what I like. It's not just boring vanilla sex all the time. It's much more fun than that. And you're just as kinky as I am and when you know what I like you remember it." he smiled, then blushed. "Jesus that sounded soppy. Do you want to watch a film?" Dan asked, getting up off the bed to connect his laptop to the TV mounted on the wall of his bedroom. "Yeah, sure." Phil said, watching him, a grin appearing on his face once Dan's back was turned.
Dan cleared the pizza crumbs out of his bed and moved the pizza boxes onto his messy floor. "I'm gonna have to get you a cleaner." Phil chuckled, looking around the messy bedroom. Dan laughed, before realising that knowing Phil he would probably do that. "I have it how I like it." he smiled sweetly, taking his jeans and shirt off and pulling on a big comfy jumper, ready to get in bed and get all warm and cuddled up.
"Is that the jumper you begged me to buy you?" Phil asked, watching him. Dan grinned and nodded. "The one that cost £2000?" Phil questioned, and Dan nodded again. "And you're wearing it to bed?" Phil said, laughing. Dan nodded, turning to face him with a wide grin on his face. "It's so comfy, you wouldn't believe." he said, doing a little twirl in it. Phil rolled his eyes, but he was smiling. "Whatever. You do look cute like that though." he commented. Dan grinned, blowing him a kiss. Phil looked him up and down with a smile. The jumper had a low neckline, making his collarbones visible. The long sleeves came down past his hands, and Dan's soft pale thighs were exposed in all their glory. Phil smirked, noticing five finger-shaped bruises on the back of his thigh as Dan turned to put a movie on, before getting into bed. Phil smiled, turning to watch the screen, cuddling up behind Dan.
