Invisible Stars- Phan

17-Phil/Dan's Pov

I wondered around the halls, my bag hanging over my shoulder. A white strand of my hair falling down on the bridge of my nose, I made my way through the doors and walked into the high school area. I decided to take this route instead of the normal route I take when leaving work, sun streamed through the windows as I walked down the halls. I lean against my old locker, breathing in calmly. I jumped, feeling it pop open "boo!" I turn invisible, yelping and growl when I see it's Dan "don't scare me like that!" I turned visible with him laughing and pecking my cheek. He noticed the locker behind me, making him shove past me and look inside "what are you doing here anyways?" I shrugged as he looked around my locker, noticing two things. He pulled away, holding a packet of cigarettes and a picture "oh my god, I forgot about these!" I took the cigarette pack, opening it and seeing there's still cigarettes left inside. I then took the picture from Dan's hand, looking down at it fondly "judging by the cigarettes, this was your locker?" I nodded, leaning against the lockers and staring at the picture. Young Dan, beamed up at me as I stared "I would look at this picture whenever I was lonely, often thinking about you" Dan leant his head on my shoulder, smiling up at me. I wasn't here long, I got adopted a couple weeks after I moved to my second year of high school and then I went to New York high school "I'm sorry lion, you were so lonely. I wish I was there" I shrugged, looking at him and shoving the picture in my bag. I blink, looking around and seeing the faded walls of New York high school

Flashback
I grunted, my cheek black and blue. My head was pounding as the boys laughed at my misery. Not that I'm not used to it, I got beat up a lot at the orphanage and I should've expected moving to a new school would end up in bullying "oi!" I look up, but my black hair was covering my vision. All I saw were the boys run away from a tall teen, one in my year. I bit my lip as I hoisted myself up, chuckling at my punched cheek "are you alright?" I go into my locker, grabbing my headphones and looking at the picture of me and Dan as children. A old, dusty polaroid picture with our names, ages and the date written in Lola's writing at the bottom. I smiled sadly at it and closed the locker, not enough though as the boy glanced in and looked at the picture "that's private!" He took the picture down, his eyebrows furrowing. I pushed my hair back, getting a look at the brown haired kid. He whispered my name as he drew his finger across the picture "how do you have this?" I snatched it back, pinning it back up in my locker sighing. I winced as my ring dug into my finger, causing a mark "that was my friend, Dan. He's long gone now" his eyes widened as I shut my locker door and looked down at my watch, cursing. I ran to class without saying a word, only hearing the boy call my name as I left
End of flashback

I blinked again, hearing Dan's voice in my ear. It was muffled but soon faded to clear as I looked down at him "are you ok?" I sighed, taking his hand as we walked through the halls and to the door. I squinted my eyes as I was hit with the sun, making me go into my bag and take out my sunglasses, placing them on my face "you were there. I went to New York high school after getting adopted and one particular day, a boy saved me from being bullied" he stared at me in confusion, clicking his tongue before gasping and his eyes widening "and that boy saw the picture of us in my locker and knew my name, even though I didn't know him" he started laughing, tears forming in his eyes as we walked. We made it to the car, with me leaning against it as he continued laughing "we are complete idiots! We went to the same school and never noticed each other!" I started laughing too, taking off my sunglasses and covering my eyes with my hand as I laughed. We got in the car, still laughing. Serotonin filled my body as we laughed "we could've reunited sooner!" Dan leant over, kissing me making me kiss back. I pulled him closer, smiling into the kiss. We are such idiots

I ran as fast as I could to Phil's room, well now our room. Since we are now together, we thought it was silly to have two separate rooms. Besides, we always used to sleep in each other's rooms anyways. I stormed in, seeing Phil look up from his book and immediately abandon it as soon as I ran into his arms. I hugged him tightly, gasping into his shoulder "what's wrong?" I pulled away, pushing my hair back and leaning on his shoulder, calming my breathing. He wrapped a arm around me, pulling me in close "word got out about our powers, I didn't say anything! N...now people are wanting to find out more" he exhaled sharply, his hair going red and turquoise. He's scared and angry "it's ok, bear. We'll figure something out" I get up, biting my lip and looking at him "that's the thing. The only thing we can do is get rid of our powers" he stared at me, his eyes widening and his eyebrows furrowing. I don't want to do it as much as him, but unless he wants to hide it's our only option "W..we can't!" I take his hands, sighing and squeezing them. I place my forehead against his, closing my eyes "I know, love. But we have to" I let a few tears slip as we breath together rhythmically, Phil's grip tightening around my hands. It's our only option
