Phil's P.O.V
Dan had called me a few minutes ago. He had just told me to wait outside my house. I had given him my address at his parents party. Now I was just waiting. I saw him running as fast as he could, tears streaking down his face, bag on his back. 'Dan!,' I screamed. He ran into my outstretched arms and buried his head in my shoulder. Suddenly, rain started poring out of the sky. I was under shelter but Dan wasn't and he was getting cold and wet. 'Come on,' I whispered, guiding him into the kitchen as quietly as possible since it was 1 am. I was in my pikachu onesie and Dan was soaking wet in his skinny jeans and t shirt. I gave him a towel and then took him up to my room. I found an extra large penguin t shirt I owned and gave it to Dan to change into.
He had finally calmed down and sat on my bed in a penguin shirt when he told me.
Dan's P.O.V
I told Phil everything. About mums drinking problem, about dads abuse and cheating, about my brothers drug addiction, everything. Phil had stayed respectfully silent throughout this, comforting me when I broke down, reassuring me that everything was okay. There was just one thing left. I simply life's my arm to reveal a series of deep cuts on my forearm. Phil gasped and threw his arms around my neck and told me that he wouldn't let it happen again. Phil was the best.
And I was pretty sure I loved him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Phil's P.O.V
It had been two nights since Dan had come to me that night. He had stayed with me for those nights. Mum and dad didn't know. I couldn't let them know. They would send him back to his parents. And he would cut. And he would die.
Tonight I couldn't sleep. I was thinking. I looked over at Dan sleeping next to me on the floor. I thought how hot he looked sleeping. Wait what? Do I find Dan hot? Do I want Dan? Of course I did. He was adorable, liked the same things as me and needs my help.
I love Dan.
Dan's P.O.V
I woke up the next morning . Phil was still asleep. He was hot. If only he thought the same about me. I picked up my phone and checked the time. 9:34 am. Phil's parents will be up in 1 minute. I crept over to Phil and tapped him on the shoulder. He rolled over and opened his eyes, blinked and put his glasses on. Then I heard the creaking of the floorboards. They were up. I looked at Phil in panic. He looked panicked too. Before freaking out for a couple of seconds Phil lifted up the blanket as the door started to open. I quickly darted under the covers and huddled up next to Phil, making myself as small and unnoticeable as possible. I heard their muffled conversation through the duvet and then the door closed again. Phil threw the blanket off exposing me to the cold room. That was close. Too close.
'Why were you still asleep?!' I exclaimed, 'I almost got caught!'
'Sorry, I was up late last night,' he replied sheepishly. 'Doing what?'
'Thinking.'
'About what?'
'Nothing.'
'Phil, you can tell me.'
'You really want to know?'
'YES!'
Then what happened next wasn't what I was expecting.
Phil's P.O.V
Fuck it.
I crashed my lips into Dan's. He did nothing for a moment. I didn't expect him to. But then he kissed back. I pulled away shocked. 'Why'd you stop?' Dan almost whined. I stuttered, unaware of what to say until Dan saved me by pulling my face into his and pressing his lips against mine. The kiss lasted for a while. There was nothing else that mattered. That was until my mum shouted at me. 'Philip Lester what are you doing?!' She pulled us apart snaking me across my face. Oh shit. My mum was homophobic. Tears streamed down my face as she scolded me. I wasn't listening. I was looking at Dan. We had I conversation with our eyes.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I don't want you to go.
It's fine.
I love you.
I love you too.
My mum had finally finished when she walked out of the room leaving me and Dan in silence. Then Dan spoke, 'I'll leave.'
'No!' I was angry now, 'my mum is disgusting. If she can't accept me for who I am or see how amazing you are then I don't want to live with her.'
'What? But Phil-'
'I'm running away,' I looked at Dan with hope in my eyes, 'with you.'
Dan smiled sweetly, pulling me in for a hug.

I was packed. Dan was packed. We used one bag, mine, for clothes and Dan's bag for food and water and essentials. 'Ready,' I stated excitedly. It was 1 am. Dan and I slipped our phones into our pockets and opened the front door. Then we ran. We ran all the way to the huge forest, away from civilisation. We reached a small clearing and lay down on the sleeping bags. Dan lay his head on my chest and we stared at the stars. 'How many do you think there are?' Dan asked pointing at the stars. I laughed, 'why don't you count them?' I said, running my fingers through his hair.
We could have been there for hours, minutes, maybe even seconds but I knew right then that I didn't need money, I didn't need riches, I didn't need fame. All I need is a forest, Dan and the stars.
