A/N:

So with the help of Lillen1kr97 I now have a sort of clue of where this story is going and I'm quite excited to write it.

HOWEVER, I will admit one thing, this story will begin to close soon, not now, but soon! I know some of you want me to continue this but I really want to start writing some other phan fics.

If you're confused at why I only have one at a time it's because my rule is to not have more than one running at once otherwise I end up very confused and found in a messed up state writhing on the floor because I have so many stories to update, not literally but you know what I mean.

Also this story was never going to last for very long because if I did then I will probably end up running out of ideas and that will just turn the story about unicorn battles in space over green tea and stuff so I hope you understand! And finally, it will be the first story I've ever actually finished (that wasn't school related) seriously, I'm really that crap keeping up with stories.

So I think I should get on with the actual writing of the story. I LOVE YOU ALL!

Phil's POV

I can see the sign for the entrance of the school and yet I don't feel the sickening pain in my stomach like I have since... well, a while.

Maybe it's for a lot of different reasons, I'm sure you could list pages through the different possible ones.

But I think it's because even though he's driving, refusing to take his eyes off the road, he's smiling and one of his hands are around mine making me grin and blush unintentionally.

That's right, we've decided we're going to hide nothing. We're together, what can beat that? I mean, I am nervous, no one will accept this really.

We'll be beaten even more probably, the teachers will shun us more too, if possible, but it doesn't matter because he turned to look at me and gave me such a smile full of love and compassion that I know I can take on anything.

I think.

He seems confident anyway, but that kind of worries me. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather him happy than worried but I fear he'll end up doing something he regrets and I know I won't be able to stop him if he does.

He got so hurt last time because he was protecting me. He must be still sore. No Phil, I promised myself I wouldn't think like this. And so I put a smile on my face and ignore the heart palpations that honestly feel like my chest is going to burst.

Is he nervous? I know I am. I don't know how we'll do this. Maybe we'll just hold hands; maybe we'll kiss in front of the crowds of homophobes. Maybe we'll do nothing and then let them click in their own time.

We're here and we're getting out of the car now. Scrap every previous thought because I can't do this.

"Ready, Phil?"

But then I see Dan smiling as he opens the door, his dimples showing, his brown eyes sparkling and then I see the group look over at us with scorn and it's with that, that I know I can do this.

"Ready as I'm ever going to be, Dan"

I grabbed his hand and stepped out of the car feeling faint but making sure I didn't collapse. So far, so good.

They've spotted us over the car park; they don't look happy, they're furiously whispering to each other, their eyes burning on Dan's tall frame standing close to me. Me.

"They're looking at us," I acknowledge loudly to Dan, he grimaces.

But with a shrug he replies, "Well it wasn't like they were going to give us an easy time anyway, a look can't hurt,"

"You're wise for a guy who burns the pancakes so much,"

He gave an indignant laugh, "Says you who can barely play Crash Bandicoot! Anyway how did you discover my shameful pancake secret?"

I tapped my nose, grinning, "I have my ways"

"Yeah? Like what?" A voice boomed over my shoulder, instantly I watched Dan's smile melt at the looming figure approaching behind me.

"Yeah don't worry, fag, we know your little gay ways," Another voice added, miming something making the others laugh.

I turned around slowly, directly behind me stood Steve, his monstrous arms folded across his chest.

"But do," He grinned, "Do continue. How about you, Dan? Eh? Anything to add? Because I'm curious, yeah I am actually, what made you ditch Alice for him? Does he really hit the spot for you, eh?" He broke off laughing, apparently he couldn't continue, it was just too damn funny.

When I didn't reply, nor Dan, he sobered up and gave me the look I had seen so many times before. Pretty much the, you're going to get your ass kicked, look he used so well.

Dan was looking down, his fists clenched, his arms tightening with frustration. He looked up at me; his eyes rock hard, flashing, with such an angry emotion. He was literally going to blow.

"Wait a minute," I choked, lifting my hands up in front of me, stopping them from their tracks, "I actually have something to-"

But it wasn't enough because all I saw was Steve jump in front of Dan and with a loud punch Dan had staggered over clutching his sides, a wild sound escaping his lips. Another punch was given, too fast for me to even comprehend truly, he was on the floor now.

"Dan!" I cried and attempted to rush over to him but someone was already holding onto me making me thrash around wildly, blinded by the many figures around me, screaming his name.

"Let lover boy watch," Steve laughed, the jeers echoing.

I was still trying to claw my way from whoevers arms were holding me whilst they continued with Dan.

"Dan!" I whimpered, going limp.

All the attention went back on me as Steve look over, "Do you like this?" Steve asked. I ignored him.

"I asked you a fucking question!" He cried walking straight in front of me, lifting up my chin forcing me to look at him, "Do you like this?" He yelled again in my face.

With that, I looked down at Dan who was still holding himself on the floor, a flare of anger passed inside of me.

Whoever had been clutching onto me was beginning to release their hold, enough so that I could easily swing my converse straight between Steve's crotch with enough power which I was pleased enough to find out that he had fallen over from, bright red and coughing.

My elbow swung back and hit the guy who was holding onto me, a sound of a loud crunch rang in my ears and sure enough his nose was bleeding fit to burst later when I turned around.

Steve was beginning to stand up again so with a sharp hit, he fell back down again clutching his stomach this time. I turned to face him on the ground and for the first and last time I spat at him and then turned away.

Everyone else was just watching me as if I had just turned mad in front of their very eyes, which maybe I had.

I rushed over to Dan's side and helped him up, "Are you okay?" I asked, failing too keep the concern out of my voice.

"I'll be just fine," He croaked, "Nice kick by the way," I turned around; Steve was slowly standing up again, eyeing the both of us warily, and keeping his distance.

They began to quickly disperse in the direction of the school.

"I don't know what I've just done," I whispered.

"You saved me," He grinned leaning up against the car.

"Do you think they'll come after us now we've shown them that we can defend ourselves?"

He gave me a reassuring smile, "Nothing will split us up, I promise,"

I picked up his hand and then closed my eyes, regretting my previous actions more and more until...

"Phillip Lester?"

I opened my eyes and before me stood the head teacher, and then behind her stood Steve, giving me a happy grin, his eyes locked onto my own.

"For unprovoked attack," She continued, ignoring both mine and Dan's cries of interjection.

"You will not be tolerated at this school any longer,"

I knew what she was saying even before she spoke the words.

"You will be expelled immediately and taken off school property with the following statement. You will not be able to return to this school and any appearance on your behalf found on this property will be dealt with. Sort out your lockers, take everything you own and then remove yourself swiftly. We shall deal with your parents and school records." And with that she turned away.
