Black And White

Part 4

Phil walked home after school, since his house was not too far from his school. He had his ear buds in, with Muse playing. As he was walking, he noticed a figure walking across from him. It was Daniel. Should I talk to him? Phil thought to himself. Phiil took out his earbuds, and stuffed them into his pocket. He took a deep breath, and ran across the street. What Phil didn't see was that a car was going down the street. Phil tripped, and was about to fall face first into the road and be ran over, if a pair of strong arms didn't pull him to the safety of the sidewalk.

"You're an idiot." Dan said, slightly irritated by Phil's actions. Phil didn't respond, as he was still in shock. He looked through his memories, looking for something that made him pass out. "This is a dream." Phil mumbled, still in a haze. Daniel looked at Phil, slightly confused. He sighed, and pulled the shock stricken boy to his feet. Phil slightly blushed, as Daniel's hands were resting on his hips. Daniel noticed this, and pulled his hands away, a light blush on his cheeks.

"What were you thinking?" Daniel said, his voice almost a growl while he glared at Phil. Phil shrank away from Daniel's stare, scared of what he would do to him. Daniel sensed this, and dropped his glare. He kept walking, leaving Phil standing there with a scared look on his face. "W-Wait!" Phil yelled, running after Daniel. "I wanted to walk with you. We are partners." Phil smiled sheepishly at Daniel, all fear falling away as he looked into Daniel's eyes. Daniel gave him an odd look, and sighed, "Stop following me." Phil gave him a small pout, "But why?" Daniel smirked, "Because I'm a murderer, and I can't keep myself from stabbing you." He gave Phil an innocent smile. Phil felt a shiver go down his spine, and his face went pale. Daniel starting laughing, and Phil took in the sight. Since he hasn't seen Daniel smile or laugh, he never noticed Daniel's dimples. Phil poked Daniel's cheek, making Daniel stop laughing and freeze in place. "You have dimples." Phil said, a small smile on his face, "They're cute." Daniel just stared at Phil, curiosity coursing through him.

"Why aren't you afraid of me? Haven't you heard the rumors?"

"If the rumors were true, I'd be on the road, flattened like roadkill."
