CHAPTER ONE
'phil I have to tell you something.'
'it's important.'
'like rly important'
Phil glanced up from my his phone, his eyes landing on the brunet sitting next to him.
"Dan, you're sitting right next to me, you didn't have to text me," chuckled Phil.
Dan sent his friend a small smile, a light pink appearing on his cheeks.
"Anyways, what did you wanna tell me?" questioned Phil.
Dan chewed quietly on his lower lip, his eyes locked on his fingers, which were playing with a loose string of his sweatshirt.
"I..." Dan shuffled awkwardly in his seat.
Phil gently squeezed Dan's shoulder, giving his friend a kind smile.
"It's okay. I won't judge you," promised Phil. "Besides, it can't be anything too bad, right?"
"Well...It's just that..." Dan took a deep breath. "Phil, I'm kind of gay. Well, okay, a lot gay. But-well-yeah..."
Dan hesitantly glanced up at his friend, a relieved sigh escaping his lips when he saw Phil's expression. The raven haired boy was grinning at him, his eyes sparkling. Without warning, Phil tackled Dan in a large hug.
"Well that's alright," Phil smiled. "You're still the same Dan. I just know a little more about you now."
Dan couldn't stop the grin from forming on his face.
"You truly are amazing," he breathed as he slowly pulled away from the hug.
"Why?" wondered Phil. "Because I treat you like a human? Isn't that just decency?"
"Because you say things like that," beamed Dan.
Phil chuckled.
"Do you wanna play sonic?" he suddenly questioned.
"I come out of the closet and all you wanna do is play video games," Dan rolled his eyes sarcastically. "Wow, okay."
Phil chortled. "Would you rather have a long, uncomfortable, cheesy conversation?"
"Okay, let's go play sonic!" exclaimed Dan.
"I can't believe you beat me again!" moaned Phil, tossing the controller carelessly to the side.
Dan cackled. "I am the king of Sonic!"
Phil chuckled as he tossed his arms around Dan.
"You're very affectionate today," chortled Dan, returning the embrace and trying to ignore the butterflies in his stomach.
"I just want you to know that I still love you and you're still my best friend," beamed Phil.
"I know," smiled Dan.
Phil started to pull away, only for Dan to yank Phil back into another hug.
"But thank you anyways," mumbled Dan.
"Of course," murmured Phil.
The friends pulled away, grinning at each other. Dan trapped his lower lip between his teeth as he stared into his best friend's bright eyes.
"So, are there any boys you like?" Phil questioned.
"Erm..." Dan awkwardly scratched the back of his neck. "N-Not really."
"S-Sorry. Am I making you uncomfortable?" frowned Phil.
"No!" exclaimed Dan. "No. It's okay. I just..."
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," Phil smiled supportively.
Dan returned the gesture as he cuddled close to his ebony haired friend.
"I want to tell you," he mumbled. "But I don't know how."
"That's okay," Phil said. "Just wait until you're ready to tell me."
"Thank you," muttered Dan.
"Are you gonna come out to the phandom?" Phil asked, cautiously. "And it's fine if you're not!"
"Probably," Dan chewed nervously on his lower lip. "I don't know when. But probably soon."
Phil nodded, slowly. "Okay."
Dan took a deep breath, sitting up to face his best friend.
"Phil, I need to tell you something really, really important," he informed.
Phil nodded, encouragingly.
Dan ran his hands through his hair as he chewed nervously on his lower lip.
"It's okay," muttered Phil as he grabbed Dan's hands, giving them a gentle squeeze. "I'm here for you."
"I...I just...You see...God, Phil I'm worried this is gonna make it awkward between us!" exclaimed Dan, suddenly leaping forward again to wrap his arms around Phil.
"Don't worry," Phil smiled. "Nothing could possibly make it awkward between us. I mean, it's not like you're going to admit your undying love for me." Phil chuckled at the lame attempt of a joke.
Dan took a deep breath, burying his face in Phil's shoulder.
"That-That's not what you were gonna say, r-right?" murmured Phil.
"Well, not exactly my undying love," mumbled Dan, fiddling with the sleeves of his sweatshirt.
"Oh..." Phil breathed.
"I'm sorry," Dan whispered.
Phil wrapped his arms around the brunette.
"It's okay," Phil said, quietly. "It's not your fault. And it's not bad."
"This is why I love you," Dan declared. "You're so amazing and kind and beautiful and-Sorry, I'm probably making you uncomfortable, I'll stop."
"It's okay," Phil smiled. "But, I'm sorry I don't feel the same."
"I know," mumbled Dan. "And I know I just ruined everything but-"
"Dan, it's fine," Phil reassured him. "This isn't going to change anything between us."
Dan smiled shyly up at his friend. "You sure?"
Phil nodded. "I promise."
