But I'm Straight (Phan AU)

Chapter 35

YES I'M V EXCITED FOR THIS CHAPTER

(Dan's POV...omg)

I sat on the couch in the living room of our new apartment (it was pre-furnished). I couldn't help but feel jittery and nervous. I tried to stop my leg from shaking but it was being stubborn as it continued to shake like a leaf.

I saw a sleek black car pull into the driveway and my eyes widened as I couldn't help but silently freak out.

"Oh it looks like they're here!" Mum exclaimed as she pulled the freshly baked cookies out of the oven.

You're probably wondering why I'm so nervous right? That's because I haven't seen Phil in a little shy of six months and I almost forget what his voice sounds like. And plus the fact that...let's just say, I did a lot of thinking while I was at the institute.

The doorbell rang and my mum scurried to open the door. She hugged Mrs. Lester who walked into the house.

Mum then hugged a slim figure with black hair and I gulped. Phil then lifted his head toward me and I froze.

His bright blue eyes met me and he smiled widely as he ran toward me and flung himself at me. I fell onto he back of the couch and Phil wrapped his arms around me.

I giggled and hugged him back. He finally pulled away and his blue eyes sparkled with tears.

"I missed you." He said, looking into my eyes. I felt my cheeks heat up and I turned my head, pretending to cough so he wouldn't see my illuminated cheeks.

"I missed you, too." I replied, sincerely.

"Who wants cookies?" Mum questioned cheerfully.

"Me!" Phil yelled.

"Me too!" I yelled.

"Don't forget me!" Mrs. Lester laughed

I stifled my giggled with my hand. Phil's going to think I'm so weird. I'm acting like such a girl.

Mum poured three glasses of milk and made three plates with five cookies on each.

She handed us the plates and glasses. Phil dunked his cookie into the milk and popped it into his mouth.

"Mmmm. This tastes so good." Phil moaned. I felt another blush creep onto my cheeks.

I tried a cookie and almost felt myself moan in ecstasy.

"Wow, this really does taste delicious, Mum."

She smiled, "Well thank you boys." I looked over to Mrs. Lester and saw she was just swallowing her last cookie while Phil and I were still on our first.

We all chuckled and she stuck her hand and gave my mum a thumbs up. We all chit-chatted as we are our chocolate chip cookies. We didn't talk about me being in a mental hospital, the divorce, or any depressing stuff. The three of us just talked about funny things that have happened in the celebrity world.

"And Bruce Jenner is actually transgender." Mrs. Howell stated

I held my breath, nervous of what my mom would say. I knew my dad was against LGBTQ but I didn't know about my mum.

"Seriously! Good for him! Maybe he can be the new face of the trans world." Mum smiled.

"Wait...wait...wait. He's transgender? Wow, I thought that was just a silly rumor."

"Nope. It's legit. He did an interview with Diane Sawyer." Mrs. Lester informed us.

I nodded.

I said, "Phil, let's go to my room."

"Kay." Phil followed behind me as I walked into the short hallway and turned at the last room to the left.

The walls were white but there were black covers on the bed and a desk in the corner. The room was a good size but nothing extravagant.

"Cool room." Phil complimented as he sat down on my bed.

He bounced up and down on it, "Awesome bed! It's so nice and squishy yet firm."

I laughed at how innocent he is and probably didn't realize how wrong that looked.

"Why are you laughing at me?" He pouted.

Instead of saying anything, I sat next to him on the bed and imitated him by bouncing.

Phil clasped his hand over his mouth and playfully punched me in the arm.

"I did not look like that!" Phil argued.

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

There was a knock on my bedroom door and after saying to 'come in', Adrian peeked his head in.

"Hey, Phil." He greeted.

"Hi Adrian. What's up?"

"Nothing. I'm really happy today, though. Because Dan's back." Adrian whispered.

"Aw! Brotherly love!" Phil cooed.

Adrian blushed and left the room quickly.

"Dan?" Phil asked.

I answered, "What?"

"Have you noticed that Adrian is a bit...skinny.." Phil said nervously, not looking me in the eyes.

I sighed, "Yea. He barely eats. When he does, he seems to only be able to consumer mouthfuls at a time. I try telling him that he may be anorexic but he gets really defensive. My mom thinks he just has a small frame."

"Oh..." Phil said awkwardly.

"Yeah..."

"Wow. Sorry I made that super awkward." Phil apologized.

"It's okay. So what do you want to talk about?" I asked.

"What are you doing tonight?" Phil asked.

"Nothing, why?"

"Okay. So tonight's prom and..." My heart started beating really fast.

Is this really happening?

"I got you a tuxedo and I called Hayley. You guys can go together."

**DJ record scratch**

"Oh yeah, okay." I said, forcing a smile, "Who're you going with?"

"Dani." My face dropped.

"Is everything alright?"

"Yeah. Everything is pretty fucking dandy." I growled.

Phil's features softened.

"Dan?"

"I'm not going to prom. Get out."

"W-what?" Phil asked tears in his eyes.

I turned away to avoid his hurt eyes, "I said get the fuck out!" I screamed.

Phil scurried out of the room and two minutes later I heard the front door shut.

I collapsed onto my bed in tears. I regretted snapping at Phil like that. All I could think about was Phil's face when he first saw me today. He looked so excited and happy. And then I thought about his face when I kicked him out. He looked confused, concerned, and fearful.

I don't know what came onto me today. Just hearing him say he was going to the prom with Dani, who is gorgeous, smart, and funny, made me really jealous and angry.

I wanted Phil all to myself.
