"you owe me a fucking coffee or something." dan grumbled, rubbing his eyes in the passenger seat of phil's car.

phil laughed, turning a corner. "we can go to starbucks at lunch, but just survive the morning first, okay?"

dan let out an over exaggerated groan. "i don't have much faith that i can do that."

phil smiled, keeping his eyes on the road. "c'mon, babe. you'll be fine."

dan rested his head against the window. "don't call me babe."

"alright, babe."

dan chose to ignore phil for the rest of the car ride.

when phil pulled into the school's parking lot and started walking out, dan expected him to run over to his group of friends. alongside being new and bright, he was accepted to be considered more of a 'popular' kid from the start. with his charming personality and pretty face, people didn't give it much thought.

but when phil immediately started walking alongside dan, he couldn't help but be really confused.

"your friends are over there." dan said, pointing at a group of kids in a small circle underneath a tree.

phil looked over at them. he nodded at one with curly hair, flashing him a smile. then he turned back to dan nonchalantly. "you're right. my friends are over there."

dan raised an eyebrow. "don't you want to go hang out with your friends? i'll finally be out of your hair, take advantage of it."

"what if i don't want you to be out of my hair?"

the question caught dan off guard. he really only had one proper friend who had ever treated him nicely, and that was louise. no one else has ever bothered giving him any other attention before, and he was so used to it he couldn't wrap his head around the fact that some people could still take some liking to him.

he thought carefully for a few seconds longer before replying. "well, i'd be sick of me by now."

phil shrugged. "well, i'm not dan, am i?"

dan shook his head. "guess not."

phil opened his mouth to say something else, but was interrupted by a loud voice behind them.

"dan howell you little shit!"

phil jumped in surprise, turning to dan with an alarmed look on his face. dan just rolled his eyes and sighed, knowing exactly who it was.

"hi, louise."

"hi louise?! that's all you have to say to me after you ignore me for a long time?" his friend replies, her face as pink as the tips of her blonde hair.

"it was 3 days, and i wasn't even ignoring you."

"i texted you loads!"

"i don't ever go on my phone!"

"oh, that's complete bullshit and you know it!"

the pair argued for a few moments longer before they hear light laughter in front of them. they both looked up to see phil, a wide grin on his face as he watched the two argue.

"hey pal, you won't think it's funny when i'm knocking your teeth out, will you?" louise snapped, a small smile appeared on her face as phil immediately stopped laughing and shut his mouth to go into a thin line.

dan rolled his eyes again, an action he had been doing quite a lot lately. "phil, this is louise. louise, phil. now, talk and become friends and shit, i've got to get to class." dan mumbled the last part before starting to walk towards his first period classroom.

"wait, dan!" he heard phil's voice call, with footsteps rushing towards him. dan turned around, an annoyed look on his face. "what is it? phil, i have to go-"

dan was interrupted when phil planted his lips on his cheek, then giving him a small grin. "don't fall asleep in class, okay?"

dan turned bright red, nodding rapidly. without saying anything, he rushed towards his class with his head down, growing so red it reached the tips of his ears.

"what was that for?" louise asked phil when dan was out of earshot. "are you guys together?"

phil's grin was still on his face. "no, we aren't. i just did it because he's cute when he blushes. i always try to make him blush more."

and with that, he turned and walked away, towards his own class.
