They walked towards dans fathers car on the outside world they'd been so afraid of just hours before, not holding hands but united.

million thoughts and worries filled their minds, Dan was thinking about his fathers reaction to Phil, not as a boyfriend, well not now at least, just as a friend, Dan never had a lot of friends but dans dad never knew about how bad the situation in school really was, he never wanted to bother his father, and anywise there really isn't a lot he could do from far away London.

Even though Dan did have a few friends growing up, mostly before his coming out, he never had a friend that looked like Phil, all tattooed and even had a few piercings, Dans ears were pierced but its not quite the same as Phil's ears, eyebrow and nose piercings, and possibly lip as Phil told him he was thinking of getting.

Dan knew his dad will disapprove, he judged a lot of people based on their appearance, which was hypocritical because he had a few tattoos himself yet always looked down at other people who had them, if Dan was being honest he had his fair share of judging people before getting to know them, although the experience he had with Phil changed his way of seeing people completely and actually made him pretty exited for his father to meet Phil, he knew he would like his personality, all he had to do was to move past the way he looked and actually give him a chance, Dan sighed quietly, his father was a very stubborn person and the odds of that happening were very thin.

They neared dans fathers car, it was black and shiny, and very expansive. leaning against it stood a tall, thin figure which figures had gotten more visible as they got closer, it was wearing an expensive looking dark blue bottom up paired with black pants, black belt and shoes, and a black, warm looking long coat, it's hair was the same color as dans but it was cut short and styled.

Both Dan and Phil gulped as they reached it and Phil delayed back a bit as Dan jogged to meet his father with a warm hug, he'd missed him so much, they stood wrapped in each others arms as they both mattered a mix of "I've missed you" and "how are you" dans father pulled away, starting a conversation with Dan as Phil stood not too close but close enough to make him both happy for dans close relationship with his dad but also awkward as he stood there looking at the two, seemingly forgotten.

After about two minutes phil was already contemplating leaving, but he didn't, he didn't want Dan to feel abandoned, for all he cared he would have stood there until they both drove off as long as he didn't have to risk Dan looking around to see him and only meeting a blur of figures moving fast to meet their loved ones or returning home to catch up with work.

It was then when Dan turned around, suddenly remembering Phil and turning to meet his blue eyes darting around awkwardly

"Um.. Dad, there's someone I want you to meet" Dan turns to his father

"Phil!" He calls, catching his eyes and gesturing him over

Phil stands next to Dan and holds his hand out shyly "hi, Phil Lester"

Dans father eyes him carefully, in a way phil is very much familiar to and hands his hand out timidly "John Howell"

Dan looks at them, he can feel the awkwardness and tension in the air and decides that maybe it's best to just return home today and invite Phil over for dinner later that week so he and his dad could get to know each other.
