All Was Golden In the Sky (Phan AU)

Chapter 1

"When the moon, fell in love with the sun, all was golden in the sky. All was golden when the day met the night..."

It was going to be a good day.

Dan Howell smiled as he slid out from under his duvet. That was a first; smiling never occurred in the same context as waking up early. Dan was excited, however. Today he would start his new job at a flower shop just a couple blocks away. After weeks of searching, traversing around London, and applying, he had finally landed a job. Even though it only paid two pounds above minimum wage, it was still refreshing just to have some sense of responsibility.

The boy's eyes peered out through a crack in his curtains, analyzing the weather. Cloudy, but not the dull, headache-inducing white kind of cloudy. The clouds today were darker, and foggy shades of blue and lavender filled in the deep, fluffy ridges. Maybe it would rain. Dan's face lit up at the idea.

'Rain... How pleasant.'

'I might even wear a pastel jumper today,' he thought to himself as he grabbed a box of Shreddies out of the cupboard. He then glanced at the oven's digital clock. The time read "6:30". Work would start at 7.

"Shit," he muttered under his breath. "I'm gonna be late, there's no time for breakfast." The cereal was placed back in the cupboard. "Bloody hell..."

Since there was barely even time to get dressed, Dan's hair was left unkempt and wavy, sticking out every which way. He attempted to run a bit of pomade through, which did take down some fluff, and was out the door.

Maybe today could still be a good day.
