"Come on guys, the line is getting longer by the minute, hurry up!" Dan shouted over the carnival music, running towards the ever growing line of the speed cars. Phil groaned, trying to catch up while Felix and Marzia laughed at Dan's eagerness.
Dan finally had a free day off work and decided it to spend it with his best friends Phil and Felix. The fair had come to town and he hasn't been in one since he was five so having some bro time in the machines sounded excellent. Having a few laughs, eating some caramel apples, picking up chicks, it was going to be the perfect hang out. However plans had changed when Felix asked if his 'not-so-secret-crush' Marzia could tag along. Their hang out became 'Get-Felix-A-Girlfriend' mission #1.Dan didn't mind in all honestly, he'd do anything for his friends, even pass as a wing man.
And Dan was especially good at that.
"Alright,here's the lay down." The brown haired boy started, all eyes on him as he pointed at the ride. "Two passengers per car so, Marzia, do you mind tagging along with Fe over here? Phil gets scared when rides pick up too much speed and he'll need someone to calm him down."
Marzia giggled under her breath but nodded, giving Felix a shy smile. She wasn't dumb, she knew they were trying to hook them up but she wasn't going to say anything. She liked Felix a lot and was flattered that his friends would go to these limits to get them together. Felix gave her a small smile back and a wink at Dan, which his friend smiled at. Felix then turned back to Marzia, sparking up a conversation and Dan decided to do the same with Phil when he saw the raven haired boy had a weird look on his face. Making sure the other two weren't listening in, Dan asked what was wrong.
Phil shook his head, letting out a nervous breath. "Nothing, is just... How did you know I was scared of these rides?"
Dan's eyes turned as big saucers when he heard what he said. He had a hunch of Phil being afraid of some of the rides when he hesitated to get on one of the roller coasters with them, but in his defense the 'Ring of Fire' was big and scary so he couldn't blame him. Now Phil confirmed he was afraid of these types of rides and Dan couldn't stop himself from worrying.
"Hey,we don't have to ride it if you don't want-"
"No!" Phil quickly interrupted, catching the attention of the girl in front of him. He lowered his voice, a pink tint on his cheeks now. " I don't want to seem like a wuss."
"You wouldn't be a wuss." Dan rolled his eyes but he knew Phil wouldn't back down. He was his best friend, he knew him well enough to know he was stubborn.
"Don't worry about it okay? I'll be there, I'll even hold your hand if you need me too." Dan said, laughing so hard at the last part that he didn't notice Phil's nervous laughter and how red he had gotten from blushing.
The thing was Phil liked Dan, liked him so much he wondered how he hasn't noticed it. He wasn't subtle about it, always leaving lingering touches, cute text and even asking him to move in with him. Dan gave mixed messages so he didn't know if he should act on his feelings. In one hand, they could be together, in the other hand he could ruin their friendship. So he'd rather not say anything for now.
Before they knew it, they were getting on the ride. Felix and Marzia on a pink car while Dan and Phil sat on the blue car behind them. After being locked in, the ride started slow before picking up speed. Felix and Dan's shouts and laughter could be heard through the tunnels they passed while Marzia only laughed and poor Phil clutched at the handle for his dear life. After a few seconds, Marzia pulled on Felix's shirt until he turn to look at her, a quick kiss planted on his lips making him turn all shades of red. Dan wolf whistled and laughed seeing the exchange until he heard a whimper. He turned to see his friend paler than he had ever seen him, eyes closed shut and knuckles white from clutching the bar too tight. Dan settled down and put an arm around him, pulling him close till Phil loosened his grip and clutch at Dan's shirt. Phil's heart pounded against his rib cage as Dan petted his hair until he stopped shaking and the ride stopped. Dan kept petting his hair and, unconsciously, placed a kiss on top of his head as they unlocked the safety bars.Phil gave Dan a look, Dan looking questionably back before hoping off the ride and running off. He couldn't handle the emotions right now, today was not the day to confess.
Dan sat dumbfounded,not knowing what happened,before things clicked.He got up and chased Phil who meshed with the crowd easily. He passed Felix and Marzia, who were hand and hand looking smitten, and gave them a heads up.
"Phil ran off, I'm gonna find him!" He shouted, before losing himself in the crowd. He was a good 15 minutes looking, hope shattering by the minute before he noticed a shaking figure in the dark corner next to the fun house. He walked closer, noticing the black mane and yellow flannel of his friend and calling out.
"Phil?" He asked,the other boy tensing up. "Why you run off? Was it because of the kiss thing? Hey,sorry man,I didn't mean to-"
He was interrupted when Phil grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him close, planting a kiss on his lips. Dan stood shocked, eyes opened and not kissing back. He grabbed Phil's arm that were clutching his shirt and before he could do anything,Phil was already turning around and walking.
"Hey!" Dan said grabbing Phil's arm and pulling him back "What was that-"
"I like you,okay? Now let me go." Phil dead panned,trying to pull his arm away. He could feel the tears building in the corner of his eyes.
'I fucked up,I fucked up,I fucked up,I-'
"Would you please let me finish a sentence,Jesus!" Dan said, pulling Phil close and grabbing his chin making him look at him. Phil avoided the eye contact until he felt a kiss on his cheek.
"I...like you too? I mean... I want to give it a try." Dan said,wiping a tear that leaked out one of Phil's eyes. He leaned in and gave him a soft kiss on the lips, making Phil let out a few more tears.
"Really?" Phil asked,Dan barely hearing it but nodding.
"Really."
And it was true.Dan liked Phil but he had been the wuss to not say anything. He was afraid of what Felix or his family might say.He was afraid of judgment. But when they got on the couple Flying chairs, wind blowing in his hair,Phil's head resting on his shoulder, Felix and Marzia giving them thumbs up and a few people in the line below them making heart shapes with their hands and a girl giving them big smiles....
Dan knew it was going to be okay.
(Based on a true story that I saw happened in the fair,lol)
