- carnival (a phan au)

ch 1

 "Phil for the last time you're coming." his friend said, grabbing Phil by the arm attempting to drag him and failing due to the fact that he was nearly a foot taller than them. 

 "Why should I go to this stupid carnival thing when I can stay home and study! We have exams soon, I can't go unprepared!" He exclaimed. His friend just rolled their eyes and pulled him out of the house.

 Phil was wearing his usual outfit, his white t shirt and his black ripped skinny jeans with his white doc martens and his hooped lip ring. Although he didn't look it, Phil Lester was a massive nerd, always cramming for tests months before they're even assigned and finishing his homework in the last minutes of class or during lunch in the library. 

 His friend on the other hand was short, around 5"5 and had a short pixie cut and had a blond streak in their dark brown hair and round glasses. They were wearing light blue denim jeans and a baggy polka dotted t shirt with converse. (A/N: His best friend is agender / nonbinary so that's why I'm using they/them)

"Charlie get off me! I'll come jesus." He said, pulling his hand away from her and entering the black Range Rover. Phil lived in Los Angeles and studied at UCLA. Every year there was a fair down at Malibu Beach, which he had to admit, weren't half bad. 

 After a long car ride filled with rants from Charlie's side and complaints from Phil's they finally pulled up to the parking lot. 

 "Jeez they really outdid themselves didn't they." Charlie said looking around while waiting in line. Everything was covered in hay. The floor was hay, there were haystacks and all Phil could see were girls with overly short shorts, flannels and boys with the same haircut flirting with underage girls. Phil rolled his eyes when a girl winked at him. 

 Didn't they see that he was dripping gay? 

 They bought their tickets and walked around a bit and sat down looking around, scouting for cute boys. Charlie found a few but none spiked Phil's interest.

 "Let's go on a roller coaster already, I'm bored here just scoping and looking at guys, I already do that enough." Phil said standing up and straightening out his wrinkled shirt. Charlie shrugged and got up too heading for a large roller coaster making Phil gulp. 

 "Listen Charlie I'm just going to go on that spinning one over there.." Phil said, pointing to what seemed to be a Ferris Wheel but in nightmare form. Charlie rolled her eyes and handed Phil a handful of tickets. 

 "Wimp. Text me when you're off." She said as Phil smiled gratefully and headed off to the roller coaster, browsing through tumblr while waiting in the line. Once he finally got in the coaster he strapped himself in and tucked his phone in tightly and held on to the bars next to him.

 The spinning coaster started and Phil could already feel his stomach turn and he wasn't even opening his eyes. He decided to have a quick little peek and widened his eyes as he saw what was across from him. 

 A tall boy, which seemed around his height, with brown, curly hair cut into a fringe identical to his own, wearing a black t shirt and a black and white flannel on top with dark blue denim jeans and vans. He looked bored as he put his phone back into his pocket and crossed his arms. Phil gulped again. 

 Holy shit, he thought, this guy is hot.

The ride stopped and the brown haired boy was unbuckling his straps that were keeping him enclosed and casually walked out. Phil just stood there staring for a moment before violently unstrapping himself and running after the boy, not being able to catch up before crashing into Charlie. 

 "What the hell Phil!" She yelled, helping him regain his balance as he pointed to the boy who was disappearing and opened his mouth ajar as if he were hypnotized.

 "Charlie! I think I just found the perfect boy and you ruined my chances of getting to know him!" Phil exclaimed and she laughed and pushed him and raised her arms.

 "Then chase after him you ninny!" She said. "And remember he may not be gay or bi so don't go hopping on his dick." She yelled out before Phil stumbled and began running again, seeing the boy turn around the corner and exit the park. He caught his breath and continued to run after him, getting stares from other people in the park. 

 Once the boy turned on the corner of a street Phil stopped and yelled

"Wait! Please!" 

 The boy kept walking, faster if I may add, and Phil fell to the ground and opened his eyes to Charlie towering over him and shaking their head. 

 "Tsk tsk, you can't even snag a simple boy. You big dope." They said before helping Phil up and slung his arm over their shoulder. 

 "No more guy chasing for you mister." Charlie said before shoving a tired Phil into the back seat and turning on her car and backing out.

 We'll see about that... 

(A/N: yes I know very shit chapter but this isn't going to be an aesthetic book filled with big words and over detailed paragraphs so bear with me will you?)
