Dan's POV
A kid walked in the room. His name sticker thing said Ashton.
He walked over to Phil and whispered something in his ear.
"Oh. Ashton this is our new helper and my." He paused thinking of what he should call me.
He couldn't explain to a 5 year old that we were together.
"My really good friend Dan. You call him Mr. Howell." He said.
Ashton walked over to me. "Hi Mr. Howell. Can I ask you a question."
"Sure go right ahead." I said.
"Are you part wolf?" He asked.
Well I was not expecting that question. "Umm no. Why would you want to ask that."
"Well your last name is Howell so I thought that would mean you would howl at the moon and stuff." He said.
"No. What word you are thinking of is howl. H-o-w-l. My last name is Howell. H-o-w-e-l-l." I explained.
"Oh. That would be cool if you could."
"Yeah it certainly would. But can I let you know a little secret." I said.
"Yeah sure." He said with excitement.
"Sometimes." I said just above a whisper. "I turn into the-" I stopped.
"The what?" Ashton asked.
"The... TICKLE MONSTER!" I shouted at him then tackled and started tickling him.
Phil's POV
Dan tackled Ashton, not hard lightly so he wouldn't hurt him.
I wanted to video this so if Dan says something like I am bad with kids, or children hate me, or something like that. He can see how good he is with this.
I took out my phone. Their war of tackling and tickling lasted about 5 minutes.
Once they were done I put my phone away and both of them got up.
Dan sat back next to me while Ashton went and played with whatever toys were in here. Dan was breathing heavy. "Uhg physical activity is not my thing." He said with a small laugh.
"You messed up your hair." I said messing around with his fringe.
"Oh well. I'm not worried." He said.
"Do you know what I am worried about?" He said.
"What?" I asked.
"That we will one day we will walk in here boom just burn into flames because we are homosexuals." He said.
"Dan I'm sure that won't happen." I said patting his arm.
Then Ashton walked over to Dan. "Mr.Howell, what is a homosexual?" He asked.
I was shocked he asked that but Dan didn't seem to mind. "Ashton how old are you?" Dan asked.
"Five."
"Well a homosexual is when if a boy um thinks girls are icky and grose, they like boy instead of girls." He explained.
"Oh. I think girls are icky they have coodies. Does that mean I'm homosexual?" He asked.
"Umm." Dan looked at me confused on what he should say.
He looked back at Ashton. "No. That doesn't necessarily make you one. No. You're not one." He said shaking his head.
"Oh ok." He said then skipped off to play.
"Well that was awkward. We need to keep it on the down low when we talk about that stuff." He said putting his head on my shoulder.
"Yeah."
We just sat and watched Ashton play with toys. Mostly trucks and dinosaurs. Then after about 20 minutes his mom walked in.
"Hey Ash. You ready to go?" She asked as she walked in.
"Yeah mommy. I had loads of fun today." He said running over to his mom.
"Well that's great. Come on let's go home." She said.
"Ok. Bye Mr.Lester bye Mr.Howell." he said taking his mothers hand and walking out the door.
"Oh Phil guess what." Dan said getting up and putting his hands out to help me up.
"What?" I asked accepting his hands and getting up.
"My mum is going on a holiday until Thursday and she said that you can stay for as long as you want."
"That's awesome. I don't even care what my mum says anymore. I'm going to go to your house."
"Ok well I bet my mum is waiting let's go." Dan said opening the door for me.
We walked up the steps and through the door. We found Dan's mum and went to the car. Dan and I both sat I'm the backseat. I sat in the middle seat when he sat on the right side of me. I put my hand in his and my head on his shoulder. He locked our finger together and put his head on mine.
The ride to his house was peaceful. No one said a word. Just us three in the car was nice. Me, my wonderful boyfriend, and the only person that I knew that supported us.
We reached Dan's house in no time. We got out of the car then took each others had again. We followed Dan's mum into the house.
"Ok. Dan I have to get going. Phil I'm sure he has already told you, but you are welcome here as long as you want." She said.
"Ok love you, and Dan sweety please don't set anything on fire again."
"Love you too mum and I promise I won't. But don't you need clothes and stuff" He said
"I put it in the car this morning." She said as she walked out the door.
"What do you mean again?" I asked.
"Well one time-" he started. "Just don't leave me alone with a stove and we'll be fine." He said with a small laugh.
I chuckled then we went over to the sofa and watched TV for a while.
This was going to be fun.
Sorry a little short. It was just a filler chapter. I will update one later today if not very soon. Just a lot of stuff is going on right now. Lots of stress.Anyway.
Happy reading.
Bye xx
