swimming lessons [phan au]

phil jumped into the deepest part of the pool, his dark fringe floating up in the water. the pool was closed since it was dark, but phil couldn't help it. the pool was so peaceful at night, so quiet. he could swim aimlessly and carelessly with no one policing his stroke.

the moon highlighted the small waves, and was captured in the bubbles phil blew. unknown to phil, a pair of the warmest brown eyes he has ever seen was watching him intently, mesmerized.

the brown-eyed boy went there every night, always hoping to see phil, but praying to any deity that may exist that phil doesn't even glimpse at him. phil never did see him, much to the brown-eyed boys's relief. he always sat–well, crouched, really–in the same place. his knees rested on a step, and his torso on the top of a waterslide.

the brown-eyed boy, named daniel but prefers dan, leaned forward just a bit more, entranced by phil. his bright, happy blue eyes seemed to glow even brighter in the dark. his giggle could cure, like, everything. dan wasn't sure why he watched phil, but hey, as long as it was secret.

but, like most things, dan's complete and udder stalking of phil each night couldn't exactly be kept hidden.

dan's elbows slipped on the slick slide's walls, and slid headfirst into the water.

as luck may have it, dan couldn't swim.

"oh my god!"

phil powered towards dan, hauling him up to the surface. dan gasped for air, sputtering and coughing at the sudden intake of water.

"are you okay? what were you doing at the pool?"

"i was just looking for something..." muttered dan.

dan felt somewhat intimidated by phil. imagine being pinned down right next to an empty swimming pool at night by a shirtless hot guy and feeling the sexual tension increase with every fraction of a second. now imagine that you've just been saved from drowning by him. one more thing, this one's great: you've also been caught staring intensely at his near-naked body.

"are you sure that you weren't just stalking me?" somehow, phil didn't look angry. dan had literally just been caught stalking him and he still looked like he would invite him over for tea.

"well, my homo wants what my homo wants." dan smirked, pleased with himself.

"a little forward, aren't you?"

"eh, i suppose."

"what's your name?"

"my name is dan. you?"

"i'm phil. phil lester."

"sorry about, ya know, stalking you..."

"it's fine. i guess i was fresh meat swimming here at night anyways."

"don't say that. nothing you do justifies my creepiness."

"well, at least i can offer you swimming lessons, since you clearly don't know how to swim."

"gee, i'm flattered." dan's voice was laced with sarcasm.

"c'mon, it'll be fun!"

"we just learned each other's names."

"a little swimming lesson won't kill you, dan."

"what if i drown?"

"you won't, i promise."

"okay, okay, fine. when do we start?"

"tomorrow, 8:00 pm."

"what?!"

"you heard me, 8:00 pm. you're in college, right?"

"yeah, i'm a junior."

"i'm a senior. you can skip a party or a study session, right?"

"alright."

"bring a swim suit. now, if you'll excuse me, i've got to go."

"see ya." phil unpinned dan, and hauled him up before walking away. "hey, do you want a ride?"

"sure. i walked here anyways."

"okay, follow me."
