I yawned, then slid out of bed and slowly made my way to the couch. I sat around doing nothing for almost an hour, nodding off from time to time, when Dan finally came out of his bedroom.

"G'morning, Dan." I say. "Happy Valentine's Day."

Dan doesn't say anything but that's just his nature, being so lazy he doesn't even reply to me half the time.

I never liked Valentine's Day after the accident back in 2010, especially around Dan, and judging by the awkward look on his face I assume Dan felt the same way. I tried to play a simple prank and people took it too seriously. It was a prank, honest, but after a while, well now I feel like some of those feelings were true.

"Phil, did you eat my cereal again?" I hear Dan's voice from the kitchen. "Oh crap," I thought. "I finished his box yesterday."

"Yeah..." I say guiltily. "Here, I'll make pancakes to make up for it. I haven't had breakfast, either." I say, getting up off the couch.

I go over to the kitchen and start making pancakes. About 5 minutes later I'm already done. "Here you go." I say placing two pancakes on Dan's plate. He smiles at me, and I feel something that I've never felt before.

"Where's the syrup?" He asks.

I get up and grab the syrup from its place on the shelf.

I munch my way through the pancakes at a relatively quick pace.

After breakfast I change into some skinny jeans and my Gengar shirt.

"I'm going to go out to the store and buy more cereal, kay? Want anything else while I'm out?"

"No, just the cereal. Oh, and more milk." I nod and head off for the grocery store.
