Phil's POV
"Girlfriend?" he repeated, even though he knew what I had said the first time.
"Yes Dan," I smiled faintly, lifting up my phone to show him his facebook wall where his relationship status was written in big words, "Your girlfriend."
"I can explain everything, Phil. Really I can,"
I frowned, "I don't think you understand what we've just done, what you've just done,"
Childishly he shook his head, "I don't care Phil, and I really can't. I want you more than anything else in the world. Can't you see that?"
It was my turn to look nonplussed, "You really feel like that about me?"
He gently lifted his hand up and placed it between my own palms as I started to smile, "Yes, you silly boy. I do feel that about you. I feel everything when I'm with you. Well at least I feel all the good, I feel excited when I see you, my heart skips a beat when you laugh, and I feel the happiest when I'm with you, but I never feel worried or stressed. With you I am at my best."
"I'm not very good with words," I mumbled back, blushing violently at his soft tone of voice used to speak his words, "But I feel like I'm me when I'm with you in a good way, if that makes sense. I'm forever being dumped on for being myself whether it is at school or at home but when I'm with you I can be myself and I don't have to worry about anything. You do something to me that's so strange, I turn into a whole new other side to me, it just makes me like you even more."
"And you said you were bad with words," He teased pulling me into another embrace, "And yet after all this time you're a true romantic at heart,"
"Always," We both laughed as he turned to lean in again lightly resting his hand on my chin bringing me closer to him, making my head spin and my heart skip many beats as he said his had done previously. I instantly moved closer to him, looking up at his smiling face that was now filled in the glow of the setting sun. I felt a powerful outburst of affection overcome me. I closed my eyes, my lips parted slightly, awaiting that which I had so been longing for. A few seconds passed before I finally felt his warm lips touch against mine. The feeling of bliss over washed me making me feel faint but the electricity rushing through my body was what kept me up. After what felt like forever, our mouths finally parted, and with that our eyes met again, brown on blue. We continued to hold each other, silently staring into each other's eyes.
"Oh Phil," He whispered, one hand stroking my cheek softly and the other playing with my dark hair, "I love you so much. I just can't articulate how much you mean to me. "
I sighed dreamily before replying "Does this mean that we're... we're a real couple? Dan, where do we go from here?"
"I want to be your everything," He said, "So then yes, I think, if it's okay with you, then we're a couple,"
"It's more than okay," I grinned poking my tongue out with my arms still wrapped around him.
"It's late, I should probably go before my parents kick up a royal fuss. And then I need to sort out the whole Alice thing," he explained whilst I nodded, "I'll see you later then I guess, oh and Phil?"
"Yes?"
"I love you!"
I smiled, "Bye Dan,"
This time I leaned in and kissed his lips, warm and gentle even with it being this cold whilst his arms brought me closer, releasing more electricity inside of me.
"I have to go," He finally broke off and whispered.
"Bye Dan,"
Dan's POV
My heart was going ten to a dozen for more than one reason. First, I was in love and this changed my perspective on everything, it felt like everything had a gold glow around it and that my vision had gone in HD mode. But then it was also because I had to explain this to everyone. I had to come out to my family, my girlfriend and oh yes, the homophobic people at school.
But then love is never that easy.
Is it funny that someone can fall in love with someone so quick? I just feel ours is surreal but then ours is probably the worst love story in the entire history of romances anyway.
And now I'm driving over to Alice's to face a very big showdown whilst I tell her everything. How will she react? Not well. I mean she can barely look at Phil, let alone me after I tell her.
I have to do this though. No matter how much I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack.
Concentrate Dan. Think of Phil. Think of him and his love for lions. Think of him and his smile.
And I'm here at her house. The lights are on so I think she's home.
I walk out quickly and knock on her door, she answers quickly thank God.
"Dan!" She grins looking more than delighted by my presence, making everything harder, whilst leaning against the doorway in her skinny jeans and a random slogan top, "I'm flattered by your surprise visit, how are you sweetie?"
"I'm sorry Alice, we need to talk somewhere private, I just need to tell you something, it will all become clearer and well, I really need to shut up," I rambled as she watched me with concern.
"Hey, hey, it's okay Dan! Look, just come on in. My parents are out visiting my aunt anyway so I'm free to chat," She hopped back to let me in which was relieving, as the temperature had just dropped dramatically.
She led me to her living room and sat me down.
"This won't be easy for you, I don't think." I began, "I have something I need to say but it's really hard so it might not make sense,"
"Well now I'm worried," She laughed," As long as it wasn't you who let the dogs out then spill. Although it looks like one of them things that are near impossible to say so do it as best as you can, I promise, whatever it is I won't judge,"
"Alice, I'm gay."
She paused, staring back at me, her perfect lips in the shape of an O, "Well," She replied a little shakily, "like I said, if it isn't the whole dogs thing then it's fine. When did you... when did you realise?"
"I think I knew for a little while,"
More silence.
"Is it Phil?" She asked, her voice deep with some emotion I couldn't call.
"Yes. Alice, look, I'm sorry, I-"
"Don't apologise," She smiled sadly, "It's nothing to be sorry for. So, does this mean that you and Phil are a couple?"
"Yes it kind of does which means that we're-"
"Over," she helped, "Well it wasn't like we were anything special anyway. But Dan, I'm happy for you, you should know that. I just-" She stopped, her voice braking off.
"Alice?" I rushed over to her as she wrapped her arms around me, dropping her head on my shoulder crying, "Alice, what is it?"
"I'm sorry," She muffled from beneath me between hiccups, "I just-" She looked up, "I just, really liked you Dan, more than just a friend although I know I haven't exactly been very subtle of my feelings around you. But if you're happy then I guess that makes me happy."
"I'm sorry," I whispered again.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, what will you do about school?" She asked wiping her eyes.
"I'll just tell the truth, whatever happens I have Phil and that's all that matters. You can say you had no idea but that you broke up with me because of some reason, you can have fun making that up, I'll be looking forward to hearing that," She gave a watery chuckle, "But we can still be friends right? I never realised how... human you are,"
"In that case then yes, we can be stay friends Dan. I just don't want them to hurt you anymore Dan,"
"I'll work something out Alice, both me and Phil,"
"Well then Dan Howell, it's over between us,"
I gave a small chuckle, "See you tomorrow Alice,"
