That Bit In Every Story Where Things Get Complicated

6 months later

Phil had spent the last half of the year playing video games and working. He had no social life and not even any friends. He often thought of Dan, how he felt against Phil, his soft touch always gentle on his skin. He was never going to have anyone who could top Dan. Phil wondered whether he had made a bad mistake, but he realised that he wasn't good for Dan, and he never will be.

His sweet dreams of the brunette were rudely interrupted by Phil's annoyingly loud alarm clock. He slammed the stop button and got up to get ready for work. He didn't even think about what he was doing with his life anymore, he was just automatic. His thoughts were elsewhere, in a better world. He wanted to finish school, get those good grades he longed for, and then when it was all over, he would run away with Dan, they would live together, travel together, and somehow, get by.

Dan walked into his favourite café to get his usual, only to see the very person he didn't want to be near at that moment, was, indeed in shift. He looked different, tired. He was zoned out into another world and barely noticed anyone. He queued up to order his drink hoping that Phil wouldn't notice him.

"One iced frappe please" Dan said quickly as to get away as soon as possible.

"Sure you want cream with that" Phil murmured.

"Uh, yes please."

Phil snapped out of his thoughts quickly at pierced Dan's soft brown eyes with his icy blue ones.

"That's £3.49 then please.." Phil said slowly, still staring Dan straight in the face.

Phil quickly wrote a note and slipped it under the receipt with Dan's beverage.

"Okay thanks very much" Dan quickly darted off and took the note out from under the receipt.

Its been a while Dan, you don't have to, but can you meet me round the back at 3:00 (that's when I get off) nice seeing you anyway.

Dan knew he shouldn't. But he couldn't resist. He still loved Phil, he was always the one for Dan. He had missed him so fucking much. But this whole thing was becoming a bit of a love triangle.

Dan made his way to the back of Starbuck and waited for Phil to come. Dan waited there for about ten minutes. He wondered whether Phil had decided to not go after. Dan sighed and turned around to see Phil standing a few yards from him.

"Long time no see huh." Phil said walking a few steps closer.

"Been a while, not much has happened." Dan said looking down at his feet. He looked up again to see Phil had gotten closer.

"I'm so sorry Dan, for.. for everything." Phil looked away trying to hold his tears back. Dan took another step forward and he could start to feel Phil's body heat.

"It was never your fault Phil.." Dan breathed.

Phil took another step and their chests were brushing against each other.

"It was though Dan.. I got you into this mess I should never have-"

Phil was cut off by Dan's lips on his. Phi was so shocked he pulled away immediately.

Dan turned and started to walk off panicking before Phil grabbed him by the arm and crashed against his lips. Passionately, they were both locked in each other's embrace. How long it had been.. Phil had forgotten how good Dan felt. Fireworks were exploding between the two of them as their lips locked together like two pieces of a puzzle. Their bodies fitted perfectly and they moved with a rhythm. Dan guided his hands up into Phil's hair and tugged softly, gaining a soft moan from Phil. Dan slid his tongue into the others' mouth and they danced with delightful ecstasy. They both broke away for air and pressed their foreheads together never losing eye contact.

"I love you" Dan panted.

"I love you so much Dan.. But we cant be together, that was just childhood."

"Well it meant something to me" Dan's voice broke as he started to cry, cupping Phil's face gently.

Phil then buried his face in the crook of Dan's neck.

"Dan, it meant everything to me." Phil looked up at Dan again "Don't you ever forget that. Go on no, you have to go." He pushed Dan away gently. "And by the way, you will be seeing me again, don't think you haven't got rid of me!"

He watched Dan walk slowly round the corner before he went the opposite way to the underground station. He zoned out again thinking about what life would be like if he took Dan back now.

The noise of the cars beeping and people shouting was muffled. The noises of the busy London streets were replaced by the sound of Dan. His laugh, his cry, his voice. He stared at the black tarmac as it rolled along the road as he crossed it.

He was half way across when he heard a rather loud beep coming from a loud vehicle coming from up ahead. He turned quickly and snapped out of his thoughts. His eyes focused quickly on a large green lorry only a few yards from him. He tried to jump out of the way but he wasn't quick enough. The large hunk of metal smacked against his body sending him lying through the air. Before he knew it his face had his the tarmac and he was in searing pain. He could see the people ruhing around his dialling 999. Then suddenly, black.

Author's Note:

I am so sorry. I have no idea why I did that.

PHIL DOESNT DIE DONT WORRY JEEZ. AND YES, THERE WILL BE MORE PHAN MOMENTS.

The main reason I made that happen is because in the next chapter I really wanted to do this scene and it wil be rly cute and im not gonna tell you obvs but it will be worth it.

(also I have been swimming in bloody homework so if the next chapter is late that is why)

I am sorry again.
