"it's okay if you're unhappy", i would say before i leave her,
because take a look around there's no one here that's happy either.
-lonely eyes, by the front bottoms.

"i refuse to go along with this."

phil groaned, rolling his eyes from below him on the ground. "dan, it's not even a big jump! it's pretty easy to just land on your feet, i did it pretty swiftly."

dan scoffed from up on the roof. "well, im sorry im not a damn acrobat, phil. im clumsy as shit and can't even handle walking sometimes. there is no way im jumping and landing it well."

phil seemed deep in thought for a moment, before his eyes lit up. despite it being four fifteen in the morning, phil seemed to be full of energy. "i have an idea!"

"and what's that?" dan asked unamused.

phil smiled at the ground for a second, before looking up and smiling even wider at dan. slowly, he reached out, both of his arms in front of him.

dan just raised an eyebrow. "what the hell are you doing."

phil rolled his eyes. "isn't it obvious? i'll catch you. just jump."

dan's eyes widened. "no way in hell."

phil let out an exasperated sigh. "why not?"

"phil, the last time you physically picked me up, we crashed on the ground."

"yeah, but you were laughing with joy while it was happening. that's a win in my book." phil replied, his arms still extended out expectantly. 

dan shook his head stubbornly, and phil couldn't help but notice there was a small pout on his lips as he did so. phil wouldn't lie to himself, it was probably one of the cutest things he had ever seen.

"please, dan? it's either this or you jumping yourself." phil called up to him.

"yeah, but if you don't catch me phil, it'll hurt a lot more than just jumping by myself." dan replied, his eyebrows furrowed.

"dan, the entire reason i dropped you last time was because i tripped. i was running. this time, no running is required. it'll be okay, i promise."

dan crossed his arms.

phil took a deep breath in, breathing out slowly. "dan. c'mon, we're wasting time."

dan shook his head in reply.

"dan."

no answer.

"daniel."

now, dan jumped a little in surprise at phil's tone. his usual calm, happy demeanor seemed completely gone, replaced by a more intimidating one.

"phil- im gonna die."

phil laughed, his intense mood gone, him being back to his usual self. "you aren't gonna die, dan. now come on, either jump yourself or let me catch you." he held out his arms again.

dan sighed. "i must be signing up for death right now."

"you won't die."

"you better catch me."

"i will."

dan took a deep breath before closing his eyes and jumping.

for a minute, he seemed to be falling slower than needed. this is the point where dan thought he was a goner, and that phil had missed him. he braced himself for impact.

but instead, he suddenly felt himself crash into something warm, and instead of falling down, he just shook around a little before feeling a strong pair of arms wrap around his waist.

phil.

on instinct, dan put his legs around phil's hips to steady himself, and his arms around his neck for good measure.

they were now in that classic, cheesy couple pose. with phil literally holding dan, both of their arms wrapped tightly around one another, dan's head buried in the crook of phil's neck.

dan's cold body clutched onto phil's warm one. it was almost like the sun holding the moon, the day clutching onto the night.

"dan? hey- dan. i've got you."

dan froze for a moment, breathing lightly on phil's neck. as much as he hated to think it, he was really enjoying the place he was in right now.

but of course, dan's pride and ego seemed to get the best of him, and he jumped off phil, lightly pushing him away.

phil grinned. "see, i told you i'd catch you."

dan rolled his eyes. "yeah. whatever, you did. let's never do this again, okay?" and with that, he turned and started walking away, towards phil's car.

as phil drove him home, he had this small smile on his face that just wouldn't leave. he acted like something was amusing, and even lightly laughed to himself a few times.

just as they pulled into dan's driveway, dan turned to phil. "what the hell is so funny?"

phil turned to face him as well. "i just can't believe you didn't notice."

dan scrunched his face up slightly, (which phil thought was cute as hell.) "what? what didn't i notice?"

phil's smile only seemed to grow wider as he replied. "when i jumped down and you wouldn't, i could have just gone inside and opened the attic door from there and let you back in."

dan's face flashed with realization, and before phil could react, he had punched him in the shoulder with all his might.

"ow!" phil yelled, laughing uncontrollably. he laughed harder as dan started repeatedly punching his arm, an angry look on his face.

this went on for a few more long seconds before dan stopped. he gave phil a hard glare before opening the door and getting out of the car. but just before he slammed the door, he turned back to phil.

"i hate you."

phil's smile didn't leave his face for the rest of the night.
