High (Phan AU)

Date

Dan and I got dressed and went down stairs to the parking garage outside of the flat.

"So, where's the car?" Dan asked me. I looked over and smiled at him.

"Right here, lot 09."
His ivory face lifted into a smile followed by perpetual laughter.

"You drive a Mini Cooper Phil?!"
I felt my face go red as I pulled my keys out of my pocket, pressing the button to unlock the car.
He bursted into more laughter.

"What's so funny Dan?"
I won't lie I was kind of aggravated with him at this point.

"I love it Phil, it suits you perfect!"

I rolled my eyes and got in the car, Dan doing the same.

I never really realized how much I adored Dans laugh until he was hysterical about my car. He sounded so happy.
Something that I wanted to be so bad.
Never mind that for now.

I started the car and pulled out of the garage lot.

Dan adjusted the seat so his long legs had enough space in my tiny car.

I laughed at his struggle.

   "Everything alright?" I made sure my tone was sarcastic.

   "Yeah, whatever." He answered jokingly.

I shoved him playfully.

"Let's get going then." I said with my hands gripping the wheel of my car.

  My hand reached towards the radio which was on fairly loud.

The first song that came on was Up or Down by Pinact.
Not really my speed but Dan really seemed to like it. Out of the corner of my eye I watched him rock his head back and forth, he bit his lower lip whenever the guitar riffed.
It made my heart leap, he kind of made me "happy high" which is something I rarely ever experienced.

I kept driving and I found myself tapping silently along with the beat.
We were finally here.
The shopping center.
I turned the car off.

"We're here Dan." I said as I unblocked my seatbelt.

I took him to the shopping center so he could have some new clothes whenever he decided to stay over at my house, and of course we could do things from there as well.
I always hated planning dates. I live for spontaneous adventure, and having Dan with me doing that would make it even more amazing.

"I don't think I've been to this place before." Dan said as he looked around the plaza or "mall" as the Americans say.

"Pretty big isn't it?" I asked him.

"Yeah it really is. I have a question though."

He grazed his hand against mine as if he wanted me to grab it and interlace my fingers with his.

I waited.

"What's your question?"

He smiled for a second.

"Why are we at this plaza?"

Grabbing his hand I looked at him and said,
  "Well, when you stay over at my house, I want you to have clothes to change into. If that's okay?"

He squeezed my hand in his while rubbing his thumb across my knuckles.

"That's so nice of you Phil."
His voice was calm and deep. Dan didn't really struggle in the making me melt department.
That was lame.
