Neko

I'll Get Revenge Soon

Phil's POV

I hugged Dan, and sniffed once more before we let go. I decided not to tell him what Chris said that made me so scared, though. He had said to my face, "I'll get revenge soon." and then turned around and left.

I was just a mess. I was a scared, sad, and overall defeated, mess. "Do you wanna go home?" Dan asked me, and I nodded. "Yeah, I'll be right back to come get you." and walked into the hallway.

Just as I was about to close the door, Dan grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. "You don't have to bring me." he insisted. "Dan, I have to. You're all I've got now, besides PJ and my job." I replied. He nodded, butting the inside of his cheek, and let go of my wrist.

"Hey Peej. Um, I..." I said, coming into the waiting room. "I know. It's been a rough day for the both of us. I'll feed the Nekos, and you can go home." He said understandingly from behind the counter. "Can I bring Dan home?" I asked. "Yeah, and if you want, you and adopt him tomorrow." "Really?!" I said excitedly. "Yeah!" He laughed back, and I gave him a massive hug.

I walked down the hallway, still sad about Chris, but slightly happy I could adopt Dan. Dan...he always seemed to make my days better...

I opened his door, and Dan was sat on the counter this time, playing with a toy he found in one of the drawers. "Ready to go?" He asked, tilting his head as he put the toy down. "Yeah, let's go." I smiled at him, and held his hand.

We left, and jumped into he car, making our way back home. It was another extremely short trip, and in no time, we arrived.

I lead Dan into my homey flat, and sighed as I locked door. Dan said to me as I turned around, "I know, Phil. It's a feeling like he died even though he didn't. It feels like everything you ever knew just left you and your heart is constantly plummeting to the pit of your stomach as if it was a glitch in a video game happening over and over on repeat. You feel numb, as if you're bored and you tell yourself that you just need to suck it up and stop being a cry baby but you can't even if it meant your life. Everything seems to turn grey and dull and everything hurts and is numb at the same time. You know he's not really gone but you can't help but feel that way like the ground under you could crack at any moment and you wouldn't even care. Your whole world is upside down and feels as though it's being flushed down the toile going in circles and circles as your life spins out of control before your eyes and you stop. You try and pick yourself up but you can't so you grieve even though you feel nothing."

I turned around and have him a confused look, "Yeah...that's-... that's exactly how I feel. How did you...?" "Lucky guess?" He gave a fake giggle.

For the rest of the day, we watched movies, ate junk food, and laid around doing nothing. The question was eating my face and I just had to ask it, but I was scared.

Later in the evening, after dinner and we changed into PJs, we were cuddle on my bed. I was up against the headboard while Dan curled into my side, playing with my hand and fingers.

I finally built up the courage to ask him, "Dan, um, can I ask you something?" I knew he would answer like my hopes wanted, but my nerves still disagreed with me. "Of course, what is it?" "I-I was just wondering if, um... maybeyouwouldbemyboyfriend." He laughed, and nodded. "Of course. I love you." he whispered before pecking me on the cheek. "I love you too." I smiled to myself, kissed Dan's head, and let him continue to play with my fingers, giggling as he did so.

Maybe this all won't be so bad after all...
