Topic: Phil invites Dan to see a supernova on the roof
Warnings: none
Note: I am not an astronomer so the facts about the supernova will be fictional
Phil's POV
Only two more hours!
"Yes brain, I know that."
Why aren't you more excited then? I sighed and looked up at the ceiling in my bedroom.
"I honestly don't know."
I think it has to do with Dan.
"It might"
I knew it!
"Of course you'd know it, you're me!"
I rubbed my eyes and pouted a little. Tonight is a supernova, the explosion of a star, and according to the BBC it's visible from the roof of our building. I was planning to venture up to the roof with Dan but I can't muster up the courage to ask him to tag along.
"I don't want him to think tha-"
"Phil?! Who are you talking to?" I heard Dan yell from somewhere in the house. I didn't answer. I want to be spontaneous.
"Phil?" he knocked on my door. I still didn't answer.
"Phil? Are you okay?" I can hear the panic starting to form in his voice. He opened the door in a rush.
"Yeah, I'm all right."
"You've been in here all day, are you sure?" He sat down on the edge of my bed and I sit up, sitting criss cross apple sauce.
"Yep yep, I actually was planning on going out." I stood and left my room.
"In your cookie monster pjs?" Dan chuckles a little, following me in to the lounge.
"What else would I go out in?" I answer and grab an extra blanket from the sofa. Dan was quiet but he kept close. I walk, quite quickly actually, into the kitchen and grab dans cereal, not caring he was standing right behind me.
"What are you doing with my-" Dan starts but we don't have long so I interrupt him.
"Care to join me?" I ask.
"Of course" he answers with a smile and I return one of my own.
"Follow close behind dear Watson." I exclaim and throw the blanket over my shoulder, cereal in hand. Charging out the door I head up instead of down the stairs, a huge smile on my face.
"He said yes." I mutter.
No shit Sherlock.
"Don't swear" I say a little louder.
"What was that Phil?"
"Nothing Dan."
"Why are we going up?"
"Shush"
"Phi-"
"Shush"
"Bu-"
"Dan... Shush" I hear him sigh but he stays quiet. When we get to the roof I open the door and hold it for Dan. I knew he was itching to ask questions so I shoot him a look that says how-many-times-do-I-have-to-tell-you-to-shush-before-you-get-the-message.
"Help me spread this out" I say and hold up the blanket. He nods and grabs the opposite side. I sit on the blanket and Dan follows suit.
"Care to explain now?" he asks and I turn to face him.
"Remember last week at the station when there was a segment on a supernova?" He thinks for a second then nods.
"Yeah, that's when a star explodes right?"
"Yeah. It's tonight and I wanted to see it but..." I drift off and I drop my head and stare at my legs.
"Phil?" Dan reaches out and takes my hand in his.
"I didn't want to watch alone but I thought you'd think I was silly for wanting to see it." I mumble and he drops my hand. My heart sinks, I knew he wouldn't want to be with me.
"Oh Phil," here it comes "I do think you're silly, but in a perfectly normal way. Not because you wanted to see a star explode." I lift my head.
"Really?" he chuckles slightly.
"Of course, I love you and your silliness." my eyes widen and Dan clamps his mouth shut. Did he just?
"I-im sorry. I-it just sl-slipped out. I-i just... S-sorry." he drops his head into his hands. I can't move. Dan just said he loved me. Like he loves me. I smile an ear to ear smile. Dan loves me. He tries to stand up to leave but I tackle him into a hug. And after we stop rolling around the blanket I look into his eyes. His brown eyes aren't actually brown. They're so many colors mixed in a pool of iris. Brown, hazel, yellow all together dancing through white.
"I love you too you goof nugget" I lean down to kiss him but I'm interrupted by the sky bursting into a multitude of color that illuminates Dan's face.
"Make a wish" he whispers. I lean down and press my chapped lips to his surprisingly soft ones in a quick peck.
"It already came true."
