**a.n. so i realized there's literally two parts left and started freaking out ,, yikes

but these last two chapters will be story chapters, so look forwards to around 500+ words per chapter !! i'm sorry if that's short by your standards i like to write chapters on the short side**

danisnotonfire:

dan had to admit that he was nervous.

adjusting his tie slightly and praying that the blue he wore wasn't too bright, he exhaled (again) and transferred his bouquet of flowers to his other hand. checking the time on his phone, dan realized that he was, in fact, perfectly on time.

shocker, he knew.

lifting his hand hesitantly and rapping on the door with his knuckles, he puffed out his cheeks and exhaled again, to calm himself down.

hearing footsteps just beyond the door, dan straightened, tugging at the bottom of his jacket nervously.

"mum, i've got it, okay? leave me alone!" phil laughed, opening the door. dan smiled awkwardly, the plastic encircling the flowers crinkling as he held them out.

"ready?" he asked, although that much was obvious.

phil sported a dark blue suit, and a black tie. it was, in essence, the complete opposite of dan's suit.

"of course." phil replied, taking the flowers and closing the door behind him.

they stood like that for a moment, smiling and looking at the ground.

"what should i do with the-"

"you can go inside and put them in a vase." dan interrupted, blushing slightly. phil nodded and opened the door again, laughing softly.

after about two minutes of waiting, dan watched as phil exited his house once more, shutting the door behind him and grinning at dan.

"shall we?" he asked, brushing past dan to walk down the porch steps. dan nodded (although phil wasn't facing him), and followed soon after.

walking down the sidewalk should've been an easy feat for the two. instead, it became an awkward game of "who's going to be slightly in front of the other so we both can fit". the sidewalks in their neighborhood were extremely thin, compared to others. dan graciously gave the frontmost position to phil, then took out his phone and held it out to phil.

"think any pokémon are nearby?" he queried, opening the app and waiting for it to load. phil laughed quietly, pulling out his phone too.

"way to ruin a romantic moment." phil teased.

"it was more 'awkward' than 'romantic', honestly." dan mumbled.

"fair point."

"oh, my god, phil!" dan yelled suddenly, stopping and frantically tapping on his screen. "there's a tauros!"

"did you catch it?" phil asked excitedly, walking around dan to peer at his screen.

"almost..." dan trailed off, concentrating on throwing the pokéball. as soon as "Gotcha!" popped up on the screen, dan threw his arms up and around phil.

turning back to his phone, dan shut it off, pocketing it and swiveling around to face phil again.

"that's one more contribution for team valor!" he taunted, sticking his tongue out at phil.

"yeah, but we started on my account, and i've leveled up mine a lot since then." phil retorted, returning the gesture. dan rolled his eyes.

"whatever."

"anyways, where are we going?" phil queried. dan tutted.

"that's a secret," dan winked, "and one that i'm not willing to tell."

"we're literally on our way there."

"phil, do you have to ruin things like that?"

phil chuckled, then looked upwards to the sky.

"i guess not. sorry."

"apology accepted." dan huffed. "and i'll have you know that this secret is one that you'll find out soon."

"alright, you nerd. let's just keep walking."
