[Dan's POV]

"Why did you do that?" I ask when we're out of earshot.

"He was being a prat" Phil shrugs.

"A prat?" I raise my eyebrow and smirk.

"Yeah, a prat"

"You could have killed him though"

"I know" he huffs "I was just so annoyed, he was saying those things about you"

"You don't need to stick up for me" I say, even though I want to hug him and say thank you repetitively there and then.

"I know" he looks at the floor "I don't know what I was thinking, it just made me see red"

"That was probably the blood coming out of his lip" I laugh, trying to lighten the mood.

"Hmm" Phil looks lost in thought.

"Today was great, thanks" I smile at Phil when we get to the gate of his front garden.

"Coming in?" He asks, taking me aback.

"I should be getting back..."

I see a look of rejection cross his eyes and I feel bad.

"...my mum can wait" I smile and walk towards the door.

"Upstairs?" He asks, taking his vans off and tucking them under the bookshelf in the hallway. I do the same and follow him to his room.

It's a simple, blue room with green covers on his bed. It's a lot more homely then the perfectly cut street outside.

"Like it?" Phil asks, sitting down.

"Yeah" I nod, then come to sit with him.

"So what do you want to do" he asks, after a few minutes of silence.

'You' I think.

I CAN'T SAY THAT. I'm not gay...

"I don't mind" I decide to say.

I turn to see him staring at me. Those eyes...

I start thinking about the perfect shape of his jaw and his fluffy hair. We sit staring at each other without realising for a while.
Phil then leans forward so that we're only millimetres apart.

"Why are you staring?" He smirks.

"I.. I'm-" I'm lost in his eyes.

"You alright there?" He laughs and closes the space between us.
