Therapy (Phan)

4: And a tongue like a nightmare that cut like a blade.

Dan and Phil walked to school together the a few days later. They had been meeting up in the morning and going to school and therapy together.

They were best friends now. Almost inseparable.

They ran into Nick and PJ almost immediately, both looked particularly happy today.

As soon as PJ opened his mouth to speak, Phil was grabbed by the arm and pushed to the floor.

Phil looked up at his attacker. It was Anthony.

'Jesus fuck', Dan thought, with wide eyes as he reached to help Phil, but was suddenly pulled back by his friends. Then, it seemed all he'll broke loose when Anthony started to hit Phil.

Dan reached a boiling point of rage, and he had all this adrenaline too, as he broke away from his friends and threw a swing at Anthony, hitting him square in the jaw.

Anthony stumbled back, looking at Dan with fury. "Boys, you take care of the scrawny kid, and I'll take care of this little bitch," Anthony spat, swinging at Dan, hitting him in the cheek, as Dan was too preoccupied freaking out as some kids came over and were beating Phil.

Dan fell back, holding his cheek, before getting back up off the floor and tackling Anthony.

Anthony was not expecting such a thing from anyone, especially someone he'd just punched in the face, more specifically, someone like Dan Howell.

Dan looked around for a brief second to notice his friends had gone and gotten help.

But unfortunately, that was enough time for Anthony to hit Dan and send him flying backwards.

Dan hit the lockers with a loud 'thump', his vision going blurry and his ears ringing for a brief moment, before regaining his senses, only to hear Phil screaming and crying because of the pain still being inflicted upon him.

Dan tried to get up, ready to hurt someone for hurting his sunshine.

Now, Phil wasn't his, per se, but ever since Phil came into Dan's life, Dan has felt happier, like Phil was his sunshine, because Phil's smile was literal sunshine, because it lit up Dan's whole world.

Dan loved sunshine. It was one thing that made him feel happy. When he'd go lay in the grass, letting the sunshine just consume him.

Now Phil was his sunshine, and he loved him, too.

Dan got up this time, pushing everyone away from Phil, just as PJ, Nick, a teacher and the principal all came down the hall.

All the boy's stopped and Dan fell to his knees, holding his sunshine in his arms, as Phil loosely wrapped his arms around Dan, crying into his chest.

"Phil, are you alright?" Dan asked quietly, holding Phil tight without hurting him. Phil shrugged and wiped away his tears.

Phil opened his mouth to speak, but Dan shushed him. It only occurred to Dan that they were completely alone in the school hallway now.

And no one asked Phil if he was okay or helped him besides Dan.

Phil started to cry again a bit, clinging to Dan like there was no tomorrow.

Dan began rocking back and forth with Phil in his arms, trying to calm Phil down.

Phil started to let out quiet sobs, but was shushed by Dan. Dan decided to try something, so as he rocked Phil, he began to sing.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away..."
