Not Just A Friendship (Phanfic)

Chapter 2 (Dan's POV)

"Um. I know. I told you, I'm fine," I assured Phil, hoping he would believe me.

He stared at me, looking unconvinced.

I know Phil very well and I also know that if you don't tell him something, he will eventually get it out of you. I don't know how, but it always worked, and you ended up telling him whatever you didn't want to tell him in the first place.

That's just what Phil does. That also means that I'm pretty scared cause I know he will get the secret out of me.

I can't tell him. I just can't bring myself to do it. He might get scared off or think I'm some freak.

I mean, I have a freaking major crush on my best friend, who doesn't see me anything other than that.

That's the problem.

He doesn't even know and he's obviously clueless that I like him.

I have to tell him at one point, though. I mean, I can't keep it a secret forever and he is a perfect person who deserves to know.

I just can't figure out when and how I can tell him. That's another problem.

I started shaking slightly, realizing that I had to tell him soon or else, like I said, he will force it out of me.

"Dan? Are you alright? Do you want me to get you some water?" Phil asked looking at me like I had a disease.

I then noticed how strange this may look. I was gripping onto the couch like I was going to float away and I was trembling and staring blankly at the screen, but clearly not watching whatever was on at the time.

I awkwardly chuckled, "Oh. Um, heheh, nah I'm good it's just um-" I have an undying love for my best friend and he won't understand- "Nothing, really, just um.. Tired I guess," I said while being drowned in the awkwardness, "I didn't sleep too well last night."

"Aw, I'm sorry. Why's that?" Phil asked politely.

"Um," -just a dream about a certain, gorgeous, blue eyed boy kept haunting me- "I had a.. Bad dream," I said shakily.

"Oh. That's terrible. I hate those rotten things," Phil kindly stated, "Wanna talk about it?"

Curse Phil and his adorable kindness.

"Oh, well, just a normal nightmare. Like um," I tried to make it up, "dinosaurs took over the world."

Phil laughed lightly at my response and said, "Sounds more like an awesome dream, Dan!"

"But, Phil, they ate everyone."

"Well, if you make friends with the dinosaur, it would like you and not eat you," Phil said childishly.

"Phil, that makes no sense!" I laughed.

"Sure it does."

"Okay.." I chuckled.

After about a day of mindlessly browsing the Internet and watching anime, I went to bed.

I took off my shirt and put on some sweatpants. Then, I lie in bed and soon, fall asleep.

I woke up with a jolt when I saw a certain pair of crystal, light blue eyes looked deeply into mine.

Why was this gorgeous man haunting my dreams and when did I suddenly become so obsessed with him?

Dan, I thought, don't be an idiot, you have been obsessed with him since you met him.

I tried and struggled to fall asleep, but just couldn't. I hate it when you can't sleep, but you want to and you are too tired to move, so you just lay there until morning.

But this time, I went to see if Phil was awake. I don't know what told me to do it. I just simply and quietly walked into his room and whispered, "Phil? You awake?"

I heard him sleepily groan.

"I can't sleep," I explained softly.

"Mm c'mere," Phil said sounding extremely tired.

I walked bet to Phil and lay down next to him. He hugged me and then soon, fell asleep on my shoulder.

He is so cute when he's sleeping.

I put him down on the bed in a position to where he looked comfortable and soon, I fell asleep, as well.

I woke up at around 4:15am to see Phil protectively and tightly hugging my torso.

Why was he hugging me so tight and what in the world was he dreaming about to make him?

I then heard Phil talking in his sleep. He said, "Mmh, bear."'

Okay, that's adorable.

"Shh, I'm here Phil," I softly petted his fluffy, jet black hair.

He smiled and fell back into a deep sleep. I smiled and blushed when I saw how closely and tightly cuddled up we were.

Honestly, if we were a thing, we would make a perfect couple.

But of course, he only loved me in a platonic way, and that's how he will always see me.

I grabbed his hand and I could have sworn I saw him blush. He gripped onto my hand tighter and I smiled.

Soon, I felt tired, and fell asleep.

I woke up to someone banging on the door.

Phil groaned and pushed me to go get it.

"Ok, rude," I said quietly.

He smiled and made a "Mmh," noise.

I soon got up to answer the door and smiled upon Phil's sleeping image.
