Howell's Little Secret

Chapter Four

~Dan's POV~

That just happened.

That was a thing.

Oh God.

I bury my face into Theodore.

"If only you could really give me advice...." I sighed as an idea popped into my head and I lunged across my bed for my phone.

~Phil's POV~

I was startled by a sudden knock on the door and Dan whooshing past me in his blanket to open it.

"Hiiii!" Dan wrapped himself around the stranger, to me at least, clearly excited by their arrival. When they parted it was easy to distinguish the man's features. He was about Dan's height if not a bit taller, his eyes were a sparkling green, perfectly messed blond hair, light skin, and though his nose was slightly crooked, as if it had been broken before, he had a smile that could even make me melt. This was no stranger, this was Kai, Dan's ex-boyfriend. Just the sign of him boiled my blood, I will not let him hurt Dan again.

"Uh, what are you doing here, Kai?" I stood from my spot on the couch, trying not to let the anger shake out of my voice.

"Oh what's up, Phil? I was just coming by to see my lil Danny," he messed Dan's hair, causing him to giggle cutely.

"I thought you two were broken up," my left eye twitched slightly.

"We are, don't get me wrong, we are, but he texted me, asking me to come over for some tea. So here I am," he smirked as Dan grabbed his hand and pulled him through to the kitchen.

Why would Dan text Kai? Why would he ask him to come here? After all the damage, physical and emotional that he had caused? I sat back on the couch, trying to think of why Dan could possibly want Kai here. I mean, really, I was the one to hold him when he cried about finding Kai with other people in his bed, had the first aid kit when he ran home in tears because Kai had slapped him, and now he wants him around?

I jumped to my feet when I heard Dan scream in pain. I ran into the kitchen to see Kai standing over Dan, who was laying on the floor cradling his cheek, with the kettle in hand.

"What happened in here?!"

"Nothing, Phil, it's fine, I'm fine," Dan sniffled, trying to mask his tears.

"Will you listen now, Daniel?" Kai was scowling, a sure sign Dan didn't do what he wanted.

"Kai. I want you out. Now." I was shaking with anger at this point, I knew what happened. I knew exactly what he had done. I just wanted to hear it from Dan.

"Fine, whatever." Kai moved past me. I grabbed his shoulder.

"And don't come back, even if Dan begs you. Got it?"

"Yeah I got it, man," he pushed me to get through, and left.

I locked the flat door and sat with Dan on the floor, first aid kit already in hand.

"Tell me what he did, you know there's no point in trying to hide it or lie to me," I pulled him into my chest, where he really began to cry.

"He....he hit me....h-he poured the t-t-tea water onto....onto my arm and he slapped me for t-telling him it hurt...." he nuzzled more into my chest, grasping onto my shirt. I held him while he cried.

"Well he won't be here anymore. Don't talk to him or think about him, he doesn't care about you and I hate seeing you like this. Dan, you deserve better than that...." I squeezed him once before sitting him up and beginning to tend to his burn.

Once I was done, Dan looked at me with large, morose brown eyes.

"Yes."

"What? Yes? What do you mean yes, Dan?"

"Yes, I'll be your little."

"Do you mean it?"

"Yes....Daddy." Dan tackled me in a hug, causing us to be laying together on the kitchen floor, him snuggled into my chest. I couldn't help but smile. I rubbed his back.

"Thank you, baby boy."
