Dear Future Me

Chapter 5: Video Games

2016!Dan-

I knock on Phil's bedroom door. " Hey Phil, ya in here?" I ask, already knowing the answer.

It has been just a day after the sofa situation and where as Phil chose to completely ignore it, I took advantage of it. Yeah, that might be kind of mean, but It's been a week since I've even hugged or kissed my Phil so one could barely imagine how much I want to at least flirt with someone. At least it's Phil I've decided to flirt with rather than some stranger. But, every flirtatious remark I make is either looked over by Phil or ended with him just blushing furiously and either replying in a literal sense to it or changing the subject. Sure, it might seem annoying to some people, but seeing Phil flustered by my doing was hilarious to me.

"Yeah, what's up?" I hear him ask through the door.

I open his door to see he was on his bed, his computer on his lap like he normally is both in 2012 and 2016. But, I definitely wasn't one to talk when it came to being on the internet all day. "I was just wondering if you wanted to play some video games. I was bored and wanted to do something with you, I thought about having a nice make out session buuuut... I then remembered that it's twenty-twelve. So, I went with my second best option." I replied with a smirk as he sat up and closed his laptop, putting it on his bed beside him.

As I get a nod of approval, I leave the room and head up to the stairway that led to the third floor, knowing he'd follow behind me. "Um Dan, where are you going?"

"To the office, where the video games and stuff are, duh."

"What are you talking about? That's the room where we put all the leftover boxes and other crap from Manchester."

I pause, forgetting that this wasn't 2013, 14, 15, or 16 yet and we hadn't turned the third floor into our office and gaming channel that had yet to exist. "Oh, yeah. Sorry, my bad. I don't know what I was thinking. Please, lead the way beautiful." I say, shooting him a toothy devilish grin.

I notice this time his light pink blush was replaced with a devious grin of his own as he leads me into the lounge. "Beautiful huh? What, did you run out of hot nicknames for me already, Howell?" He says then walks over to the shelf where the games were, quickly trying to change the subject. "So, there are plenty of games here, go ahead and pick your poison."

I smile, accepting the challenge he has given me. I then walk up close behind him, nearly too close for comfort. "Let's see... Do you have Portal 2 yet?" I ask, looking over at him.

Phil tries clearly to ignore the nonexistent barrier between him and I and instead continues on the conversation. "Of course we do, that came out last year in April. Do you and I even still play that?"

"Well, I suppose so. We played it blindfolded once for a video," I pause then lean down putting my mouth closer to his ear. "Let's just say there was a lot of deleted footage from that video." I whisper, my lips lightly rubbing against the outer shell of his ear as I spoke.

I can tell he is caught off guard by the feel of my lips against his skin as I feel him shiver slightly. I can also clearly see he has a hitch in his throat before taking the case off the shelf and going over to the system and putting it in while responding. "I see... Thanks for the blindfold idea. I'll have to try it with my Dan when he gets back."

I let out a quiet chuckle at his response, throwing myself onto the sofa and getting comfortable. "Or, maybe you should try it out with someone who has experience... And literally knows you inside and out." I tell him as I make my goal of this gaming session clear to myself in my head. I was going to make Phil Lester's face redder than a damn tomato.

I see a small form of pink blush form on his cheeks as he sat on the other side of the sofa. Despite his blush, he continues the flirtatious banter. "Yeah? Well, when my Dan comes back and everything is sorted out, not only will he have experience and know me inside and out, he'll also have the sex drive which will make the blindfold adventure ten times as entertaining. And, not to mention ten times more the pleasure as well." He replies, throwing me the second controller then starting the game."

I pause for a moment out of slight surprise. From what I remembered, both mine and 2012 Phil never really mentioned the word sex explicitly or the pleasure out right like he just had. Either way, this proved to me that this war was on, and it's ten times more fun now that Phil has joined in. I let the game and mainly pointless friendly banter go on, saving my flirtatious remarks for later.

"God dammit Phil! This is only the third course of chamber 8! All you have to do is help me by placing a few portals here and there and just leave the rest to me. Surely you and past me have done this level loads of times, what's the problem here?!" I exclaim thrashing my controler around in rage. We've been on this course and chamber for the past half hour and whatever could go wrong Phil was making it possible.

He smiles, chuckling under his breath. "Nothing, it's just funny how you can get angry over a video game. You are adorable when you're angry like this, seems like that hasn't changed either." Phil replies, looking over at me, expecting a flirtatious remark back in reply.

My face goes red both with embarrassment and rage. I'm honestly just slightly surprised by his words. "Sh- shut up!" This was not what was suppose to happen. He's the one that should be blushing, I needed to do something to make him blush at least a little bit. I think fast, and quickly move closer to him, yet again to the point where I was practically on top of him. My supposed confidence is then quickly restored. "That might've not changed, but I would just love to show you what has." I whisper into his ear seductively, raising my eyebrows and shooting him a wink.

That's it, this is has to get him at least a small bit. I think to myself, but sadly I had forgotten that two could play at this game and, at the moment, Phil was dedicated to this game one-hundred and ten percent.

"Sounds like fun, maybe you can show me later tonight," He turns to me, gets close to my face to the point our lips were barely touching. "I'm sure you'd like that huh?" He then backs away and gets up from the sofa, and before leaving the lounge he turns and shoots me the same devious wink I shot him no less than a minute ago.

I sit there frozen in place for what seemed like eternity. Did that really just happen? There is no way past Phil just invited me to— well, do that—later tonight. Of course, he was surely just saying it to fuck with me and win the little game we had going, but what the actual fuck? Like I would really make an attempt to get into past Phil's pants, let alone actually kiss him... right?

I fall back onto the sofa and sigh laughing. "Goddamn Phil, still the flirty fuck I've always loved I see." I mumbled closing my eyes and completely forgetting about the game and everything else around me, my only thoughts are about Phil... and not my Phil, but this one, 2012 Phil.
