Phil

Dan stood on the doorstep, arms full of bags and boxes. I hadn't seen him in years but somehow I recognised him. He was tall, nearly as tall as me. Long, brown hair framed his face as his surprisingly feminine eyes looked into mine.

"Hi," I said, holding out my hand for his bag to help him, "I'm Phil."
"Hi," he said shaking my hand awkwardly, "I'm Dan... Why are you laughing?"
"I meant for you to hand me some of your stuff so I could help you, not shake my hand," I laughed as Dan realised his error and started blushing and choking out an explanation.

"It's fine," I replied. "Come in. Do you have to bring anything else in?"

"No,  that's everything. My parents are bringing more of my stuff tomorrow."

"Okay," I said, stepping out of the doorway carrying some of his stuff so he could get past, "Sorry if there's any mess. I'm not used to living with anyone."

Dan laughed, "It looks tidy enough to me. Which room is mine anyway?"

"This way, Second door on the right," I replied, leading him down the hall, "It's not a huge flat but its big enough for two of us. The bathroom is there and the kitchen and living room are that way."

"Ok, thanks. Hey, this is kind of weird but do you want to watch a film or something together and get to know each other better after I've unpacked."

"Sure," I agreed,  secretly relieved that he wasn't an antisocial brat, "I need to edit and upload a YouTube video but after that I'm free. I only work Wednesday to Friday anyway."

"Wait, you're AmazingPhil?! I watch your videos but  I didn't want to seem weird if it wasn't you!"

"Yep, that's me! Anyway, I'll leave you to unpack. I need to get this video up soon because I promised it before I knew you were moving in today," I said, before walking on to my room to edit.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After a couple of hours I heard a quiet knock on my door.

"Come in!" I yelled out.

Dan opened the door, "Hi, I finished unpacking. Have you finished your video?" He asked.

"Yeah, do you want to do something?"

"Sure, what do you want to do?"

"What about a video game?"

"I brought Mario Kart?"

I sat up suddenly, "Yes! I love that game!"

I followed Dan through to the living room and Dan started connecting his Wii to the TV.

"Do you want something to eat," I asked Dan as I walked past him into the kitchen.

"Sure, if you're making something anyway."

"I'm just making some pasta. Is that okay?" I replied, putting a saucepan on the hob as I spoke.

"Of course. I've got the Wii set up when you're ready."

Once I had the pasta ready I went though to the living room to find Dan sitting on the sofa on his phone.

"Texting your girlfriend?" I teased slightly, handing him a bowl of pasta.

"No, just telling my mum I got here safely. She's a bit of a worrier."

"But you have a girlfriend?"

"No, I'm.... kinda.... gay?" Dan mumbled nervously.

"Well if you're kinda gay, I suppose I should tell you I'm kinda bi before you think I'm going to throw you out."

Dan visibly relaxed after I said that and started eating his pasta.

"This is nice," Dan commented, stuffing his face with pasta.

So we spent the whole night playing MarioKart and eating pasta. To be honest we were more concerned with yelling at each other when the other person won than getting to know each other but we had fun and that was the main thing. I knew that I would get on well with Dan though, he just seemed .... chill.

AN: I just put up my first Oneshot and I'd be really happy if some of you gave me some feedback pls ;)
