Living Room Song

Lyrics:
Fuck the world and what it wants me to be

Story:

Dan's POV

I love dressing in pastels. It makes me really happy and I feel like I stand out more in a crowd of very dull people.

I'm just so tired of hiding who I am for others. I don't get to dress the way I want because people around me tell me that it's not normal. That I should dress manlier. I dress the way I feel on the inside and that's a bright, colorful person.

I want to be happy with myself. I'm tired of having to change for the pleasure of others. It's time I think about myself.

I was going to a party with my friend Louise tonight. I messaged her asking if it would be a good idea to show up in my pastels and she said absolutely. That there should be no problems with her friends, considering the fact that she only hangs out with nice positive people.

I took a shower and got dressed before heading out. Her house wasn't too far away. It was walking distance so that's exactly what I did.

Once I arrived I was greeted by a drunk Chris.

"Hey Dan! You look lovely tonight." I couldn't help but blush at his words. I thanked him as he stepped away from the door and made room for me to walk through. I grabbed something to drink and headed towards the living room which held most of the people.

I soon found Louise in a crowd of other friends and they all greeted me in such a lovely manner.

Throughout the night I could often see Louise looking behind me. I didn't turn around to look, scared that she might be eyeing a guy and I would make it painfully obvious.

"Hey, Dan?" She said.

"Yeah?" She had a smirk on her face while talking to me.

"Not to alarm you or anything but, there's this really cute guy who has been looking your way all night. I think you should go talk to him." She said and winked at me.

"Louise, are you crazy! That's not how I am and you should know that of all people. I'm so awkward and for all we know he could be looking at someone else". I said in defeat. I saw her look over my shoulder once again.

"Well he's coming over so I'll be heading out."

"Wait Louise-" she left before I could finish off my sentence. Soon enough the mysterious guy was standing in front of me.

"Hey, I'm Phil." he said and smiled at me. The first thing I noticed were his bright blue eyes.

"Hey, I'm Dan." I said and blushed. God, I seem like damn school girl.

"You look very lovely tonight." He said and I blushed again.

"Thank you." I said shyly.

"Why don't you dress like this more often?" I looked at him confused. "I've seen you around and you never dress like this. I think you look very beautiful in pastels." I couldn't help but break into a blushing mess. I hardly ever get complimented by a guy.

"I was just scared of being judged. I was making myself unhappy by not being myself so I decided to push those fears aside and let myself breathe for a bit." He gave me a huge grin. We spent the rest of the night talking about each other. We found out that we had a lot in common so we ended up exchanging phone numbers at the end of the night.
