What I see:Phan

Chapter 22- Because I Love You

Dan's POV
I woke up to see Phil staring at me, his arms wrapped around me. He smiled at me and kissed my forehead and I smiled back at me. His eyes seemed to be bluer than usual, probably from the morning sun that was shining down on his pale skin through the blinds. I snuggled closer to him and I felt his chin resting on my head. We said our good mornings and almost forgot that we had to go back to school today, which I was not looking forward to. I was almost certain that Kian would be going back to school, and that made me nervous.

"You'll be fine Dan. I'm not going to let him hurt you, and I know that our friends won't either. Besides, you stood up to him before, maybe he might leave you alone and move onto a new victim" Phil repeated, for the tenth time as we were getting dressed for school. He could tell that I was nervous, and I had been yesterday as well, and Phil being Phil, tried his best to comfort me, and yet it was somehow working. I think that he noticed that too, since he had stopped talking about it. That boy knows me too well.

Once we were ready, we walked to school like we always did, and I tried my best to ignore the knot the was tightening in my stomach as we got closer. When we reached the front gates, Phil grabbed ahold of hand and squeezed it for comfort. I tightened my grip on his hand as we walked through the school and down to the cafeteria, where all of our friends were sitting. After we were bombarded with hugs and questions about the date, we joined them and sat down, not leaving out any details about Saturday night.

"Phil had been freaking out and even though we kept saying that you'd love it, it wouldn't work. He wanted everything to be perfect." Troye informed, which made Phil blush in embarrassment. None of us were helping since we kept teasing him.

"Shut up! It was my first date with Dan and I wanted to make it memorable"Phil whined, and all awed in unison as I wrapped my arm around him.

"We found an abandoned disco as well, and we danced for a bit as well. So I got to do something nice for Phil as well" I added.

"Slow dance or normal dance?" Louise questioned.

"First normal dance and then slow dance" I replied.

"How cute, I wish I was there to see it" Zoe cooed, and I rolled my eyes as I felt my cheeks turn red from blushing. We eventually managed to tell them the rest, and by the time we had finished retelling all of the events, it was time for homeroom. I followed Phil, Chris and Pj to our homerooms, and said goodbye to Chris and Pj as they went into the room next to ours. Phil and I made our way up to the back and sat down by the back window. We talked to each other the entire time ignoring everyone else, not forgetting to answer to our names when they were called out.

After homeroom had finished, we walked to our first class, finding Connor and Troye all the way. When we arrived, the class was in chaos, and we walked up to the back, trying to avoid it, and I felt the knot tightening even more when Kian and his friends entered the room. In my nervous state, I reached out and grabbed Phil's hand from underneath the desk, and he smiled at me. Looking at him made me calm down, and we continued to listen to what Connor and Troye were talking about.

"Howell, Lester. I was wondering if I would find you here" I heard Kian shout from across the room. I gulped nervously as he marched towards us, his friends behind him, an evil smirk on his face.

"What do you want Kian?" Phil asked.

"Nothing. I just think that you should know that I'd be very careful if I was you. You may think that you're safe, but you never know what's going on behind the scenes" Kian answered leaning closer to us and lowering his voice.

"Is that a threat?" Connor questioned, anger flickering in his eyes.

"Take it as you want to, I don't care"Kian replied, and before we could respond, he walked away. I sat back in my seat as I thought about it, my mind wondering with questions.
