  I knock on the door, and am greeted by Phil grinning. "How was your day?" He asks, pulling me into a bear hug. I'm overwhelmed by Phil's sweet smell of vanilla, and I snuggle further into his blue jumper.
"It was okay, to be fair," I mumble, and I reluctantly take my face out of his jumper and look at him.
"Although, I am friends with a huge PhanGirl." I say, and Phil laughs.
"She wants you to sign these for her!" I continue, handing Phil the book and pencil case. Phil grabs a Sharpie from the kitchen table and scrawls his name on both the items.

"Dan will sign them when he gets back." Phil adds.
"Where is he?"
"He's at Game right now,"
"What's he doing there?" I say, and then cringe. He's buying an elephant. You idiot, he's buying a game.
"Dan's picking up at third Wii controller, so all three of us can play Mario Kart tonight, after we've eaten our Italian take away.
"Ooh, fancy!" I remark, and Phil ruffles my hair.
"What do you eat that's Italian?"
"Is there a menu?" I ask, overly posh, and Phil pushes the plastic card over to me.
"I'll take the cream tomato and basil sauce with spaghetti and bread please," I say, sounding very British, and earning a chuckle from Phil.

    The front door to the flat bangs open just as Phil picks up the phone to order the takeaway, making me jump in surprise. "Good evening!" Dan shouts, then sees Phil looking very embarrassed and holing the phone to his ear. "I'll take a Diablo pizza please!" Dan says, much quieter, and then takes my hand and leads me into the office, where stacks of video games and DVDs are piled up. "Woah, this is where the magic happens!" I say, not meaning for an innuendo, and Dan turns bright red. Oops.
    "So, what's in the bag?" I ask, changing the subject quickly. Dan proceeds to pull out a new Wii controller, and together, we start to connect it to the system.

"Die, you scumbag!" Dan yells at me, as I drop a banana in front of him, causing his character to spin aimlessly.
"Dan, don't say that!" Phil protests, but Dan puts his finger on Phil's lips, shushing him.
"Philly babe, be quiet, and focus on your Luigi.. Who is last," he continues, laughing.
"Babe," I repeat, and smirk at them.
"Oops," Dan and Phil say at the same time, going bright red.
"YES! I WIN!" I scream, throwing my arms up in celebration as I cross the finish line in first place, therefore beating Dan.

"Huh. I let you!" Dan mutters unconvincingly, and I laugh.
"Who was patronising Yoshi this morning? You!" I say, but stop when I see Phil wrapping his arms around Dan, who turns round in his embrace, and they start to kiss passionately.
"Ew, get a room." I say jokingly, and they laugh, heading into Dan's room and shutting the door, all the while still kissing.
I don't know whether to be fangirling or cringing.

   I open my Twitter, and see I have a new message from Tabby. Happy to see her username, I open up her feed, and when I do, my heart drops and my jaw falls to the floor.
