Not Just A Friendship (Phanfic)

Chapter 7 (Phil's POV)

(Phil's POV)

I woke up in my bed and felt the warmth of another body. At first, I was confused, but then realized the only other person here could be Dan.

I glanced over to the opposite side of the bed to make sure. Yup. It was Dan.

He looks so peaceful and innocent when he's asleep. I was now just hovering over his body, staring at him.

He looks so beautiful, I thought.

I couldn't help myself. Before I could realize what was happening, I closed the gap between my lips and his. When people say sparks fly, when you kiss someone special, they are NOT over exaggerating! It legit felt like someone had set off fireworks and sparklers in my stomach and head. It was magical. But, I should kiss him. WAIT- I WAS KISSING DAN?! Why had I JUST realized?!

Oh my god I was kissing my best friend. This is wrong, I can't do this! I thought. But before I could pull away, his eyes slowly opened.

He looked slightly confused, but didn't pull away. I could've sworn I felt him kiss back.

Sadly, he soon sat up and our lips disconnected. "I- Dan.." I started to say as my palms began to sweat.

"Phil? What just happened?" Dan asked, eyes widening.

"I'm- I'm not too sure," I started to explain.

"Phil?" Dan began to ask, "Did.. Um, did we k-kiss?" He looked shocked, but not actually disturbed.

I felt a wave of relief hit me. Thank god, he didn't look disgusted or anything worse.

"Uh. I think w-we did."

"But you- It seemed like you kissed me.." He stated slowly, "I- but I kissed back."

I was slightly shocked. "Yeah. Why?"

Nice going, Phil. What a GREAT thing to say! I mentally slapped myself.
"I don't know..? Reflexes?!" Dan said awkwardly and shifted the position he was sitting in so he had his back to me.

Ouch. That hurt.

"Yeah.. Probably."

Dan didn't look comfortable, oh god. What have I done? I always screw things up.

"Well, the question is.. Why would you.. Kiss me?" Dan said still sitting with his back facing me, avoiding any chance of eye contact.

"I- don't know," I said.

Well, that's a lie.

"Actually, Phil, I know why. You are probably just using me to figure out if you're not straight. That kiss didn't mean anything," Dan concluded.

"No- Dan," I tried to explain. He cut me off.

"Phil, I know what you are doing. I'm not gonna fall for your silly little games," he said standing up.

"NO!" I shouted. Dan looked shocked. "I mean um," I said clearing my throat, "No, I am not!"

"Then explain why you kissed me Phil!" Dan exclaimed. I got up and stood directly in front of him.

You could see the hurt and confusion in his eyes. It killed me to think he thought this.

For moment I didn't know what to say. I was speechless.

After a couple minutes of deeply staring into each other's eyes, I said "Because- well, maybe I like you Dan! Maybe that kiss meant something to me, cause I actually worked up the courage to actually touch you in a way that wasn't platonic!"

Dan's eyes widened more. If they widened anymore, he would look like an anime character.

"I-oh. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to
accuse you of doing anything like that," Dan looked at the floor.

I sighed and lifted his head up by using my hand, and lifting up his chin.

He looked at me, eyes filled with a mixture of confusion, worry, love, and shock.

"Dan, it's okay. I know you didn't mean it. I would also be confused if I were you. Seriously, your best friend kissed you. I'd be pretty shocked," I assured him and he relaxed.

He tensed up slightly and said, "But, I'm not confused, I know what I am feeling and I know what is happening," after a couple minutes.

I began to say, "What-?" But then I felt his lips crash into mine.

I also felt even more explosions and bombs go off in my heart, head and stomach.

I kissed back and he pulled me closer.

"I also know that I love you," Dan said resting his forehead on mine.

"Well, in that case, I love you too."
