"..so, now I'll do the groups for the project to do at home. I don't want to hear stories, I recommend you"
'Fantastic', Dan thought, with the luck I have she could even put myself even with.."Howell, Lester"
Dan turned and looked at Phil, he had his head down and nodded slightly. The two had a fight a few days before and he didn't want this, I knew it would be a mess..
Dan's house
"Look, Dan, I will not take a two to for what has happened because I don't want to be rejected and this is one of the most important text of, so let's pretend this never happened and let's do this research, ok?"
"Okay," he blurted taking the books and putting them on the desk beside him.
[...]
"It is not that difficult, just concentrate"
"I can't"
Phil looked at him and, not knowing what to say, nodded.
"I knew that all this would end badly, I knew that I would not have cared about this stupid research but I would continue to look at you while you talk and try to explain me things"
"Dan, we said-"
"It's that I want to kiss you"
Phil turned abruptly and looked at him. "I'm sorry, maybe I should not say it after what has happened"
"It's okay," Phil whispered, Dan still scribbling on his notebook.
There was a silence then. "I also would like", added Phil biting the inside of his mouth.
This time it was Dan that to turn around suddenly but he was interrupted by Phil's lips rested on his.
His hands slid under the other's sweater but as soon as he realized what he was doing, he stood up.
"No Dan, I shouldn't.."
"What, are you crying?"
"No, it is that.. I have a terrible headache. Can- can I lie down for a bit?" he asked pointing at the bed.
Dan nodded, "Rest well," he said, then the other fell into a deep sleep.
Later
"Your mother told me where you were"
"You slept all the afternoon, you know?" Dan chuckled. Phil smiled and sat down next to him. "Do you feel better?"
He nodded, "The headache has passed"
"Thank God"
After a break of highly awkward silence, Phil got up "I have to go, PJ's waiting for me"
"Oh"
"My parents are not home, and let me sleep by him"
"You could stay here, with me I mean"
Phil frowned "I do not think that-"
"I'm sorry"
"No, I mean, if that's okay I'd like to stay"
Dan smiled, "Of course it's fine"
00:46 am
"This episode is over and it's midnight, can I turn it off?"
Phil nodded and sat in his side of the bed, looking at the floor.
"Goodnight Philly"
"Philly?"
Dan chuckled "Never mind, good night"
[...]
"Dan, are you still awake?"
Dan mumbled, "Do you need something?"
"Hold me?"
Dan frowned though he could not see him and turned to his shoulders, putting his arm at his side.
"Thanks, you know, I'm afraid after the tv show," he chuckled.
"Sleep, Phil"
[...]
"Dan?"
"Yes?"
"Sorry about the other day"
"It was my fault"
"It wasn't.. and Dan?"
"Hm?"
"I.. love you"
"I love you too, now come cuddle because I kissed you"
