"Hey Dan? Do you want to watch a movie with me and Josh?" Phil pops his head into Dan's room to see Dan on his bed with his laptop.
"You invited Josh over?" Dan sighs and stares up at Phil, obviously not happy.
"Yeah, he's on the couch right now. We'll see you in a bit." Phil leaves before Dan has a chance to answer. He knows what he's doing. He figured out about a month ago that Dan fancies him, by the way Dan sometimes get flustered when he says something stupid in front of Phil. Which actually happens a lot and Phil kind of finds it adorable.
Josh has liked Phil for longer than a month, and who knows maybe so has Dan. Josh's shamelessly flirts with him, and occasionally Phil will flirt back. It's even better if Dan's in the room, because he gets jealous and just doesn't know what to do with himself. He can't flirt with Phil because he thinks Phil doesn't know about his little crush, and he can't just watch them chat up each other. So Dan usually gets frustrated and leaves the room and Phil tries his best to keep from laughing. Phil loves being the center of attention; he loves having two people fighting over him and trying to one up each other.
He puts in the movie and sits down next to Josh. "I thought you were getting us popcorn?" Josh asked, running his hand through his bleach-blond-and-blue hair. He is wearing a white button up shirt with black skinny jeans, which is a bit much (especially when compared to Phil's Charmander shirt and gray sweat pants or Dan's grey sweater and shorts) but Phil doesn't tell him that.
"Oh yeah sorry." He stands up, but is stopped by Josh's hand on his elbow.
"Don't worry about it." Josh all but whispers, pulling him back onto the couch, closer to him than he was before. Phil looks over at the living room doorway to see Dan, watching them awkwardly. Josh sees him too, and give Phil a look that must mean 'What's he doing here?'
Phil gets up anyways, bumping into Dan as subtly and softly as he can. He walks into the kitchen and grabs a popcorn bag, setting the microwave for the appropriate time. When he comes back, Josh is watching the previews, and Dan has his arms folded over his chest, sitting on his left leg. He sits down a little too close to Dan, and brings his lips next to his ear. "Something wrong?" He whispers, and Dan puts both of his feet flat on the floor.
"Uhm, no..." He unfolds his arms and reaches across Phil's lap for the popcorn, and so does Josh. They bump hands and Josh scowls at Dan. "Sorry." He whispers, not even loud enough for Josh to hear.
Half way through the movie, Phil realizes Dan hasn't eaten any popcorn. "Dan?" He looks over at him, smiling slightly. They had turned off the lights to make if feel more like a home theatre so Phil wasn't even sure if he could see him. Dan does look over, and matches Phil's smile. Phil almost forgets what he was going to say.
"Yeah Phil?" He finally takes a handful of popcorn and puts a few in his mouth. Phil looks down at the bowl and whispers 'nothing.' He thinks maybe he likes Dan and he feels stupid for messing with him. The movie finishes and the popcorn is finally gone. Phil gets up to stretch and take the bowl back to the kitchen.
"Are you staying tonight?" He asks Josh, holding the plastic blue bowl in his left hand while he takes out the dvd his right. Josh stands up and walks over to Phil, taking his dvd back and fixing his hair for the millionth time that night. Dan stays on the couch and watches the two.
"Do you want me to stay?" Josh smirks, acting as if Dan isn't in the room.
"Yeah, we can pull out the couch." Phil smiles back innocently.
"The couch isn't very comfortable..."
"You always sleep on the couch?"
"I was thinking we could switch it up this time..."
"Well where else are you supposed to sleep?"
"Your bed."
With that, Dan silently gets up and goes back to his room. Of course Phil notices. "Sorry Josh, I just remembered that my uhhh...my mum is coming over tomorrow."
Josh sighs. "You're such a bad liar, Phil. See you later." He leaves the apartment and it's only a minute before the popcorn bowl is in the sink and he's knocking on Dan's door. Dan tells him to come in.
Phil sits down on his bed, while Dan messes with his half-eaten pack of pocky. "Just try and keep it down, okay?" He mumbles, and Phil is baffled.
"Uhh what?" He asks, and notices Dan's red face. "Oh." Phil bites his tongue to keep from laughing. "Dan...he left."
"Why?" Dan asks, not looking up from the bright red box. "I thought you guys were gonna--"
"No. He left." Phil repeats, cutting Dan off.
"But why? it's obvious you like him too, so why wouldn't you accept his offer?" Dan looks up at Phil when he doesn't answer. Phil grins.
"Because I like you more." Dan is sat there, confused. "It's obvious you like me too...do you accept my offer?"
Dan blinks. "What's your offer?"
"Kiss me." Dan doesn't even have a chance to accept before Phil presses his lips against Dan's. He can taste the pocky and popcorn and it's literally perfect. Apparently Dan was going to accept his offer, because he's moving his lips back against Phil's. They pull back.
"You picked me over Josh?" He smiles, looking very proud of himself.
"I'd pick you over anyone." Phil kisses him again.
