Enjoy yall!*****

**Dans POV**

Phil sits next to me and immediately begins to munch on his wheaties, eyes glued to the screen. Hard as I try, I can't take my eyes off his face to pay attention to the show. Not that it matters, I stare at him while we're watching usually so I have no idea what's happening on this show. His blue eyes, I swear I could swim in them. The deep blues are so expressive, telling me when he's happy. Like right now. Right now they're me favorite blue, like a summer sky at noon on the beach. I tear my eyes away from his, trying to focus on the show.

I sit back and put my arm on the back of the couch behind Phil, who is still sat forward. I stretch my legs out to rest on the coffee table, and as I do he leans back. My heart starts beating a bit more, and I'm super conscious of my arm. I'm trying not to touch him, if I do I'm afraid I won't be able to stop myself from leaving over and kissing him. Jesus Christ, do I have it bad. Good thing I'm straight as rainbow, right?

The anime finally ends and Phil stands up to stretch. His shirt rides up, showing his muscular back. My mind goes blank for a moment, and I have to shake my head to clear it. I take a deep breath, and focus on the credits that are rolling on the screen.

"That was great! I can't wait to start the next one," Phil says as he gathers our cereal bowls. It takes me a second to answer, and my voice cracks a bit when I do.

"Y-Yeah, I thought so too. We'll have to choose tomorrow."

"Yep. So what's the plan for today? Take the tube and get some shopping done?"

I groan and slip further down on the couch. I'm too lazy to shop, but christmas is on the way, and I've got zero presents.

"I guess. I wish I could just snap my fingers and have the presents I need apparate to me. Along with some maltesers and my laptop."

Phil laughs, and the sounds washes over me. His laugh, Jesus Christ what it does to me. It's infectious and a complete turn on at the same time.

"You're such a lazy bum. How do you ever get videos done?"

I stick my tongue out at him, and get said bum off the couch. We both head to our rooms to get ready for the day.

***PHILS POV***

I close the door to my room and sigh as I slide down it. My crush on Dan is getting out of control. Christ, when he stuck his tongue out it was all I could do to stop myself from imagining it all over my body. And when he put his arm on the back of the couch behind me, I couldn't help myself from sitting back and acting like he had put it around me. It was nice to pretend, for a second, that he might like me back. It's getting harder to hide that I'm in love with him. I drool every time he walks out of his room without a shirt, hair all messed up from sleep. He could get my heart racing in anything. I hope he doesn't notice.

If he finds out, and doesn't feel the same I'd be crushed. Our friendship would get awkward and distant, I'd probably move out, and nothing would be the same. I can't lose Dan, and if that means staying just friends then so be it. I need him.

I head to my dresser, grabbing a dark blue long sleeve button up and some black skinny jeans. I throw the clothes on quickly, and lace up my converse once I'm fully dressed. I glance in the mirror at my hair, and I decide that it's good enough. I get annoyed with my fringe sometimes, and I've often thought of cutting it into a quiff. Dan's fringe is perfect, unlike mine. It's fluffy and it lays really well. I could go on for days about his hair. Especially when it's hobbit hair. It takes everything in me not to run my fingers through it...

I shake myself and head to the lounge. Daydreaming of Dan before we even leave, this isn't good. Hopefully Dan isn't too dressed up, I won't be able to keep my hands off him if he is.

I sit on the sofa, and wait for Dan to come from his room.
