AU where Phan never kissed on the manchester eye, and never got together. Phil's getting married but not to Dan and Dan's really depressed.... and yeah.




Dan's POV

"Are you nervous?" I asked as we sat down together for the last time in our apartment. Phil's wedding was tomorrow in a pretty church on the outskirts of London. But he wasn't getting married to me. He was getting married to her.


I always thought I would be the one to marry Phil. That we would have a Pokemon wedding with waterslides and nerdy cosplay but I could never express how I actually felt about him and then he met her and it was too late.


The problem was I couldn't even hate her. She was perfect. Long auburn hair with bright green eyes. A huge love for anime and manga, as well as great taste in TV and books. She treated me as I was a part of the family, begging me to come to dinner with them and hang out with them and play video games.


That was probably the worst part. I had to sit there and watch the man I'd loved for 7 years be in love with someone else. It hurt but I had to sit and watch because I know if it was the other way round, Phil would have stuck around until we were two old men with canes, laughing about the old days.


Phil chuckled nervously, glancing up from his laptop, "A little..." He said brightly, obviously trying to shake off any negativity. However after being best friends with somebody so long you begin to notice the little things, like the way Phil's leg twitches slightly when he's nervous.


"It's ok to be a little scared." I peek at his computer screen, "But that isn't going to help you." Of course he's looking at 'Weddings gone wrong'. Silly Phil.


"I'm going to miss the apartment." Phil sighs. His side is looking fairly empty, his room bare and only a few ornaments of his remaining, which he decided looked better here than in his new home.


"There's always space for you to come back." I say. By now my smile is slightly strained. I'm not completely ready to give up on Phil yet. I love him through the pain.


Phil gives me a smile, glancing back at his computer so he can turn off the video of a bride, tripping into a massive, and very expensive looking cake, "We've had a lot of fun, haven't we?" He murmurs.


"This was the most fun I've ever had..." My voice cracks in the middle of my sentence and I turn away to hide the tears burning in my eyes.

Suddenly I'm being pulled into a rare hug and I can feel the drops starting to trail down my face. I can't help the muffled sobs that escapes my lips, and it just makes me feel even worse when I think of the reason why I am crying.


"Hey, " Phil murmurs, rubbing his hand soothingly on my back, "I'm only going to be a tube ride away. It's not like we aren't ever going to see eachother again."

"Yeah but who will help me with my videos, wait for me in the morning to watch anime... wh...who will be there when I can't be brave anymore...? I'm nothing without you Phil, I'm noth-"


"Shhh... Dan look at me. You are brave and you are strong. This changes nothing. We can have sleepovers and anime mornings..."
