But he's my best friend? -Phan

Chapter 11 (Mixed Pov)

Dan POV
When I woke I was resting my head on Phil's chest, cuddled to his side. My back was slightly sore from sleeping on the sofa. I gradually got up, straightening my back and stretching. Phil stirred as I started to move. His eyes flickered open. "Dan you awake" he whispered. "Yeah" I said playing with his hair. He smiled up at me, so I pecked his lips.
"Want a coffee?" I asked. "Sure" he said sitting up straight. I got up and grabbed two mugs from the cupboard as I waited for the water to boil. Carrying it back to the sofa.
I leaned in and kissed Phil. After a while I deepened the kiss pushing him further back against the sofa. Phil gentley pulled away. "Dan sit down" he said calmly. Though I began to worry. He wasn't having doubts already was he? "Is everything okay?" I nervously asked. He smiled at me "Of course everythings fine, it's better than fine, it's amazing, it's just... Dan we have been friends for a long time and I just don't want to ruin anything, I really want to be with you, but can we take it slowly, I don't want to mess anything up."
"Of course, we can take it as slowly as you want" I said pecking his lips. "I also have been wanting to talk, I know Zoe and Louise know about us, but until we have everything worked out can we just keep it between us" I said. He smiled back "Of course."
Later on we headed out to do our christmas shopping. Phil decided to buy literally everyone he knew money boxes with faces. Which were extremely creepy. After we had finished buying for everyone else we split up and decided to buy for eachother. This proved to be really difficult, everything wasn't good enough. I decided I would buy a present with multiple pieces to it. The first part was a coloured top from top man, which when I saw it I immediately thought of him.
The second part was a dvd that Phil always said he wanted to watch but never got round to it. I wanted to get something else though, something with more meaning to it. I decided I would look online later, upset at my inability to shop, I bet it was so easy for Phil.

Phil POV
It is impossible. Shopping for him is literally impossible. I had no idea what so ever. Frustrated I went in to a near by coffee shop to think. As I sat a elderly woman beside me started to make small chat. "It's cold today isn't it" she said. "Yeah it's freezing" I replied. "Doing last minute Christmas shopping?" she questioned. I decided that since I was getting no where I might as well ask her for ideas. "Yeah theres just a person that I want to get a great present for, but I have no ideas" I said.
"I know I used to be so bad at shopping for presents, but I remember one year my late husband bought lots of little presents for me, stupid things, but each reminding him of me. It was the best gift I have ever recieved. The first was some cupcakes from the shop that we got our wedding cake, some perfume that I used to wear to all our first dates when I was young, a little statue of an angel because he used to call me his angel and this painting from an art museum were we actually met. It was a funny story we both knew nothing about art, but he came over to admire the painting with me. He wanted to talk to me so he started making up this rubbish about 'how the artist used brush stokes', when he knew nothing, in order to impress me and it did. I fell right for it, I didn't find out till years later that he knew nothing." she chuckled.
I couldn't help, but think how sweet that was. I thought that was the perfect idea for a present, I would just get Dan stuff that reminded me of him. I thought about what I wanted to get. I remembered that I had kept the train ticket from the first time we met, so that would be the first gift. A teddy bear, as bear used to be my nickname for him. A sharpie, for the cat whiskers. A Muse cd, as it reminds me of when we went to see them together. A belt, because I jokily always tell him to pull his jeans up and lastly a box of cereal, to make for stealing all his cereal.
I then searched for as much of this as I could find and decided I would order the rest of it later.

When Phil and me met up again he was carrying a pile of bags as I suspected. I still couldn't think of what to get him. So the rest of my day, when we got back home involved me panick searching what to buy Phil.

Author's Note- Hey guys this is just a short fluffy chapter. I can also tell you that dramatic stuff will be happening in the next few chapters, which will be Christmas and New Years. I'm on holiday for another week, hence why there hasn't been that many updates. I'm home on the 19th so I promise I will start writing and updating frequently when I get back.
