Random Fandom Imagines 2

(Amazing)Phillip Lester

You are awake long before your alarm rings or the sun even creeps through your curtains. You just recently moved to London and this is you first free day. You planned this day weeks ago and are more than excited it finally came. You jump out of bed and take a quick shower, before picking out a cute outfit. You just finished having breakfast, when your phone rings. It is your best friend and colleague. You wanted to spend the day with her at the London Zoo and already bought tickets, but as you pick up your phone you immediately realise it is not going to happen. Her voice sounds extremely husky and you can hear that her nose is clogged. "Y/N? I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I have to cancel our plan for today. My alarm just woke me up and I think I'm actually going to die." She says dramatically. You try to hide your disappointment. "Oh, honey. It's ok, just stay in bed and make yourself a hot tea and read a nice book. We can go another time." You say trying to sound cheerful. "No, no. You should still go. We already bought the tickets and it would be a shame if you didn't go. Have a nice day and make a lot of photos. Or even better...videos! You can record yourself and tell all of your weird animal facts and when I'm better we can watch the video together. Please go."
Two hours later you're walking through London Zoo. Amazed you walk around, almost forgetting you promised your friend to film. As it is a weekday and still pretty cold, the Zoo is empty and quiet, which you enjoy. You enter the reptiles and amphibians house and film yourself pointing at different snakes while giving questionable facts about them. You are completely alone in there and get quiet playful while filming. You end up in front of a glass and read the sign next to it. "Ok, so this is the world famous skink." You giggle holding the camera to film the small lizard behind the glass. "Aaaand...well...oh god, I think I'm out of weird animal facts." You admit.
"Well, skinks can shed their tails if they are attacked by a predator." You jump, surprised by the sudden voice next to you. You turn around to find a tall pale boy standing next to you. He gives you an insecure smile, that you find really cute and you are caught by his bright blue eyes. You take a few moments before you recognize him. "Phil?" You ask even more surprised than before. "It's me, Y/N." you add after you see his confused look. A smile brightens his face as he recognizes you too. "Oh my god, Y/N, that's crazy. It's been years! How are you?" he replies sounding really happy. You give him a tight hug and tell him, that your fine and you recently moved to London. You never imagined you would meet Phil here today. You went to school together but lost contact after graduating and now he completely unexpected appears inside the reptile house. You can't help but regocnize how handsome he looks. You end your little small talk and Phil unsure what to do next stands in front of you, looking slightly uncertain and putting his thumbs inside the pocket of his jeans while twisting his hands. You recognize the gesture, it's an old habit he already used to do in school. You always liked Phil, maybe even more than you'd like to admit and are really happy to see him again, so you spontaneously decide to spend the rest of the day with him. You take a few steps backwards not breaking eye contact with him until you reach the next animal. "Well, Phil" you say smiling "what interesting fact can you give me about the..." you take a quick look at the sign, before looking back into his beautiful blue eyes "about the fire salamander?" He gives you another cute smile and immediately catches your hint. He walks over to you to look at the small salamander behind the glass. "Well, Y/N, they are actually half made of fire." He says trying to sound serious. You start laughing brightly. "That's not true." You manage to press out in-between your laughs. He joins your laughter and you find yourself thinking that it is the sweetest thing you ever heard.
In unspoken agreement you continue your day at the Zoo together, telling each other weird and false animal facts, joking around and catching up on each other's life. You really enjoy his company. Talking with him is easy as you seem to naturally click. You are really impressed by all the things he achieved in his life and you can clearly see how happy he is, but can't help and wonder why he came to the Zoo alone.
"Phil, I don't want to offend you, but why are you here alone today? What about that Dan guy you are living with?" you ask after a few moments of silence between the two of you.
"I actually enjoy coming here by myself. I just love looking at the animals. It helps me relax and forget the real world for a bit." He explains. "But what about you? Why didn't your boyfriend come with you?" You let out a little giggle. Did he actually just smoothly asked you if you have a boyfriend? "Well, if I had a boyfriend, he surely would have joined me, but no. I wanted to go with my best friend, but she got really sick overnight and since we already had the tickets I went alone." You say still smiling about his smooth move.
"I'm sorry about that, but, hey, on the bright side, we met again after all those years, which I think is really cool." He admits, sounding quiet cheerful. He gives you a cute little side smirk and you involuntarily smile back. You go and look at the tigers and the gorillas and decide to watch the Bird Show together. It is really impressive seeing all these huge birds flying around, but as one of the eagles flies right over your head, you jump and squeak frightened. Phil protectively puts an arm around you, asking if you are ok. You nod and realize that you definitely don't mind Phil holding you close to him. You try to focus on the rest of the show, but the feel of Phil's hand lying on your back, slightly pulling you close to him, makes it kind of heart. You can feel your heart start racing and your skin gets really warm. You try to calm down to avoid starting to blush. Faster than you want, the show comes to an end and Phil removes his arm from your side. You continue your way through the Zoo, trying to avoid the inevitable end of your day together, but in the end you find yourself back at the entrance. You awkwardly walk through the exit and stand on the street to say goodbye. Phil puts his thumbs in his pockets again and he quickly mumble something that you can't understand.
"Sorry, I didn't quite catch that." You apologetically say and smile at him to encourage him.
"I was just wondering, if...you know...so there is this really good café not far from here and I was wondering if you wanted to grab a coffee. Only you want and have time." He stutters, fiddling his black hair. Your smile gets brighter with every word and you agree, happy that he seemingly enjoys spending time with you. He smiles back at you obviously relieved you quickly agreed to his idea. Still a little insecure he points in the direction you need to go and you follow his lead. You silently walk next to each other, both smiling about the kind of weird situation. When you reach the café Phil holds the door open for you shyly smiling at you and you both chose a seat in the back of the café. The time runs and the sun slowly fads as you sit for hours talking, joking around and relieving old school memories. You don't want to leave, but just stay and keep on talking to Phil and watch him laugh about your jokes and stories. You've never seen something as beautiful as his blue eyes when they light up while he is laughing or his cute dorky smile. But it is getting quite late and you have no other choice. Phil offers to walk you to the station and you gladly take it, feeling a lot safer walking through the dark with him by your side. As you walk past a group of seemingly tipsy guys, he grabs your hand and pulls you closer to him. You can feel your heart racing again and your cheeks start to feel hot. You know that you probably blushed and are grateful for the darkness to cover it. He continues walking not letting go of your hand and you are not going to complain. His hand is warm and soft and you can feel his fingers unobtrusively trying to caress the palm of your hand. You feel a wave of disappointment when he lets go of your hand as you reach the station. You say your goodbyes, protracting the moment, when Phil takes a step forward and kisses you. It's a sweet, short and innocent kiss, leaving you yearning for more. He takes a step back and looks at you. His cute insecure smile from this morning is back and you again find yourself getting caught in his blue eyes, which are glowing in the light of a street lamp. You smile back at him, take his and whisper "I would really like to see you again."
He lets your fingers slide between his. "I would like that too." He whispers even quieter than you, now smiling more confident. You stand a few seconds in silence, enjoying the feeling of your intertwined fingers and the sweet feeling his lips left on yours.
