Don't Leave

Words: 2477

Summary: Phil walks into the lounge one day to find Dan searching for 1-bedroom apartments and he panics.

Phil's POV

I yawned and stretched. "I need to stop getting out of bed so late." I thought and slipped my glasses on. Wondering what Dan was doing, I plodded into the lounge to see him sat back on the sofa with his macbook on his lap. "Why am I not surprised?" I smirked.

He jumped a little before smiling sheepishly at me. "You can't expect me to change anytime soon." He retorted before turning back to his computer screen.

"Whatever, coffee?" I yawned once again. "Damn, I really need to go to bed earlier."

"Yes please." He replied without taking his eyes off the screen - seemingly being sucked back in to what he was doing before I walked in. I rolled my eyes and went to the kitchen to make our drinks and some breakfast. I turned the kettle on then grabbed a bowl, spoon, milk and Dan's cereal. I smirked to myself as I poured the contents into the bowl.

"You can't expect me to change anytime soon." I mumbled - repeating Dan's earlier words. Soon enough I had two mugs of coffee and a bowl of cereal. I decided to take Dan's coffee to him first before getting my own and eating whilst checking emails and possibly youtube comments.

I walked back into the lounge and wasn't surprised to see that Dan hadn't moved an inch. I was about to speak until I caught a glimpse of his computer screen. My eyes widened in shock as I saw what website he was on. He was searching for 1 bedroom apartments. I nearly dropped the mug of coffee as a panic washed over me. "Dan wouldn't leave me, would he?" I thought as I nearly started to hyperventilate.

In my state of panic I quickly put Dan's coffee on the coffee table and started to leave the room - not even acknowledging Dan's 'thank you' as I sped back to the kitchen. I leaned against the counter with a slightly horrified expression. After everything we'd been through, was he finally leaving? I gulped and clenched my fists - he could have told me. I glared at my bowl of cereal and angrily poured it down the sink. It was a waste but at that moment I didn't want anything to do with Dan if he was being too much of a coward to admit to leaving me. I grabbed my coffee and stormed off to my room with worry still eating away at my gut.

Yes - I was angry but the panic and sadness definitely outnumbered it because I definitely did not want to lose Dan. "Have I done something wrong? Did I forgethis birthday? No - it was last month on June 11th and I definitely got him a present! What if he's just sick of me? Am I too clingy?" Tears welled up in my eyes.

I know I was jumping to conclusions and acting like a cry-baby but Dan and I had gone through so much together and to lose him would be like losing years of me life. We've even come to the same point where we do the same job and do the all the same things. I don't know how I could've functioned properly without Dan since I had had him by my side for so long. He was my companion and I was his.

Dan and Phil.

Phil and Dan.

So why? "Why Dan?"

I didn't say a thing, I was waiting to see if he'd tell me or not or if one night he'd pack all his bags and spring it upon me. We were both sat on the couch watching anime like we did every morning but I couldn't enjoy it - not with the knawing anxiety that at any moment Dan could announce he was leaving me.

The doorbell rang and I thought it would be a good excuse to clear my head for a second out of Dan's presence. "I'll get it." I sighed. I noticed Dan's confused expression when I offered without complaining. Usually I'd badger him until he got up and did it. "Maybe he's sick of how childish and lazy I am." I thought sadly as I went down to meet whoever was ringing the bell.
