"I love your eyes." Dan spoke fondly and Phil blushed. 

"Thanks." Phil mumbled and Dan chuckled - the sweet sound filling Phils ears and making him grin back. "Your's are lovely as well." He added shyly, staring at Dan's warm brown eyes through the screen. 

"Your hallucinating. That or Skype is messing with your vision." Dan brushed off, averting his gaze. Phil only smiled.

"Nope, I remember how beautiful your eyes were when I saw them for the first time." Phil grinned.

"You forgot, and now your memories are playing tricks on you." Dan grumbled, although there was a small smile on his lips. It made Phil feel proud - from the last few months he had been able to find out that Dan wasn't used to compliments since his parents never talked to him. It made him sad that Dan didn't find himself beautiful or worthwhile so Phil made it his duty to make Dan feel special.

"Definitely not." He grinned. "Anyway, when are we going to meet tomorrow?" Phil asked, changing the subject so Dan couldn't object any longer.

"I'm free all day, you choose." Dan shrugged. 

"Lunch time then. I don't have work today so we can do whatever we want." Phil beamed, although hi cheeks flushed. Neither of them had mentioned the kiss that happened a few months back but Phil found himself falling even more for Dan. The topic hadn't come up and both of them were too scared. Phil feared that Dan was too insecure and thought Phil didn't want him, but he also feared that just because he was Dan's first friend, he had confused his feelings of friendship with love and would then stop liking Phil that way so he wants to be sure. 

"Lunch time it is." Dan confirmed. Phil typed a quick note into his phone so when he next checked his phone he'd see it and remember he was seeing Dan. 

"Usual place?" Phil asked - they had been meeting up at a little coffee shop in town that they adored and would spend hours talking in.

"Actually, I was hoping we could meet up at the fountain tomorrow." Dan replied, his cheeks glowing slightly pink.

"Oh? Ok." Phil smiled, not questioning it further. There was a comfortable silence between the two of them, that is until Dan started to frown. 

"What is it?" Phil asked in concern.

"I ... I-It's just ... nothing it's fine." Dan set his lips in a straight line and his eyes gleamed with emotion.

"Dan, please tell me." Phil said softly.

Dan let out a small sigh, "I just ... why do you make the effort to keep me around Phil? I'm not special and it's unnecessary. "Dan muttered, eyes trailing to his lap.

Phil's breath caught in his throat because Dan was degrading himself again. "Shut up." Phil said sternly and Dan looked up at him in surprise. "You are special and I like you. I would miss the bond we have. I feel so happy having a friend like you around." Phil admitted and Dan's blank face turned into a smile once again. 

"Thanks Phil." Dan whispered and Phil beamed back, reaching out a hand and stroking his computer screen. 

"I can't wait to see you." Phil sighed, stroking Dan's pix-elated cheek.

"I can't either." Dan grinned before coughing and looking around his room. "I-I'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye Phil." Dan stuttered and Phil giggled as Dan finished the call.

"Goodbye Dan." He replied. As soon as Dan's image disappeared Phil frowned in confusion before looking at the skype icon. "I'll never get used to this." Phil thought - realizing he probably had a skype call with Dan. He hated not knowing what he looked like as soon as he looked away. His eyes flicked towards the small picture taped to the top right of his laptop screen and suddenly all the memories flooded back again and he let out a breath of relief.
