Good Morning Greetings {PhAn} [Completed]

Memorable

I'm on the ground with tears threatening to come out. Dramatic, I know, but that was the case. My ears perk up when I hear the front door open, a jingle of keys following suit. He must be back from his chat.

I stand up and run to the bathroom to rid my face of any marks. It didn't really matter because I still looked like a mess.

I hear steps coming towards me and I step out quietly, trying to go back to my room without Phil noticing.

"Dan? What's wrong?"

Shit. I guess I was too loud.

"Dan?" he asks again. I turn to face the older man and grab my wrist tightly. My lips clench together and I look at him.

"You look like you've been crying," he tells me. Phil shifts over to one leg and looks back at me in confusion. "Have you?"

I nod.

"I guess I have," I say with a forced laugh.

He frowns. "Why? Did something happen?"

I take in a deep breath. "Phil, I've realized something today. Funny thing is, I was having one of my famous existential crisis moments."

"Really? Why didn't you call? I know how bad you can get-"

"I know I'm usually way over dramatic and I tend to over think things when I'm having one." I gulp. "But the thing I realized is not one of those."

Phil stares at me worriedly. "What exactly is this?"

"I realized that you're going to leave me someday."

I can see him clearly, even if the only source of light had come from the windows in my room. He's shocked. Or afraid, maybe.

"I'm going to leave you...?" he speaks, but turns it into more of a question as he trails off.

Phil then bends down and sits next to me. "Dan, I don't know why you would think that. I'd never leave you. We're best friends. We've been that way for too long for me to leave."

I sniffle and shuffle away from him. "You don't really get it, do you?"

"Get what?"

"We can't be together forever. It doesn't work that way. We're going to move on with our lives sooner or later. I doubt YouTube will last forever and you're almost 30, for God's sake! You're going to want to settle down eventually and then I'll be alone again, maybe still doing the radio show to keep the bills going."

"Dan, I-"

"Just face it, Phil. We aren't going to last forever. Nothing lasts forever. Whatever is good must come to an end, and this is one of those things."

"Dan! I did not spend 6 whole years of my life to see something that we built together go down the drain because of this. I will most definitely stay with you forever as your best friend. No matter the ups and no matter the downs, we can always get through it together, just like we do now."

I grab his hand and squeeze it tightly. "Are you absolutely, one hundred percent, positively, sure about that?"

In a second, I feel him pull me down and our lips connect. It wasn't exactly perfect, but I easily adjusted to the situation. Phil leaned up, then pulled away quickly before I could respond.

"Oh my god, Dan- I- I don't know what came over me."

"Phil."

"I'm sorry, that was really rude. It won't happen again."

"Phil."

"I was taking complete advantage over you. I- I- You were weak and I just got caught up in the moment."
