Soulmate? | epilogue

today's been particularly unproductive for Phil. Dan is in the hospital since the morning and Phil is able to go there only in the evening, so he's just scrolling some posts on his phone.

it's weird that he can see again but he's on his phone, maybe. but he wants Dan to see so they can go around the city together and have a chat and hang around like normal people.

while he's reading an article his phone starts to ring and he answers immediately. "hello?"

"Phil!" he hears Cat's voice.

"oh my god, hi." he smiles.

"how are you?"

"I'm great, I can see."

"I know, I'm so happy." she answers pausing. "I have something to tell you."

"yeah?"

"my boyfriend said that I have to live with him so I'm, taking my stuff and I'll move to his house."

"oh." he just whispers.

"I'm sorry."

"it's okay, thank you for everything Cat."

"tell me when you're back in London, I want to meet you."

"alright, see you." Phil says and ends the call. he's not sad because he knew it was going to happen, but..

he decides to take a nap, at least be can get some rest.

••

Phil wakes up because of his phone. he notices that it's almost seven pm, he should go there. he decides that he'll just walk till it because he hasn't a car, and nobody can accompany him.

he puts his phone in the pocket and his hands too, then he starts to walk. he knows when it is because after the operation, when he returned to the hotel, he memorized how to get there.

he enters and walks by a nurse that he knows. "I'm sorry, Dan Howell?"

"hi, how are you?" she asks. "I'll accompany you there."

"wait, is he already awake?"

she shakes his head. "he should, but maybe he's sleeping. I checked him before and he was. don't wake him up, the anesthesia is still in his body." she jokes and points Dan's door.

"can I go in at least?"

"of course."

Phil smiles and gets in, she already goes away so he closes the door behind his back. he looks at Dan and he's really sleeping, so he smiles. because he's cute.

he sits next to him still smiling and takes his hand. "are you going to wake up soon? I can't wait to talk to you." he giggles caressing his cheek. "what will you think of me?"

Phil bites his lip and sits down, waiting.

after thirty minutes, kinda, Dan opens his eyes. "who's that?"

"Dan!" Phil smiles excited.

"Phil? oh my god, you're so fucking hot." he says opening his arms. "hug me."

Phil smiles again and hugs him, they say nothing for some minutes, then Dan talks.

"I love you too."

"what?"

"I wanted to say this before but I thought it was early, I still think that it is early and I don't even know.. but I love you."

"it's okay." Phil giggles looking at him. "I love you too."

"so."

"what are you going to do now?"

"I will find a job." he just says.

"I thought that maybe we could, live together? as friends?"

"as friends?" Dan asks ironically. "fuck off."

"sorry." Phil smiles. "I actually don't want you as a friend."

"neither do I."

"it's so nice to see."

"it's nice to see again." Dan smiles. "everything is like I remembered it."

"yeah."

"hey, Phil." Dan says looking into his eyes.

"yes?"

"do you want to.. I don't know."

"tell me." Phil chuckles.

"do you really want to live together or was it a joke?"

"a joke? no."

"then-"

"I really- I was tired of feeling alone and now you're here. it's nice."

Dan hugs him again. "thank you."

"thank you. can you get out of the hospital?"

"yes."

Phil takes his hand. "let's go on a date then."
