Just Friends (Phil Lester x Reader)

Part 8 - Ice Cream and Rides

"No, I mean he could never be my boyfriend because he's gay. Also, you don't know what I want, and to give you a hint it's not a guy like Nick and anyway why do you care? It's not like your my boyfriend or anything." You replied annoyed, you crossed your arms and walked away. Dan went after you but Phil just walked away in a different direction. "Y/n don't be upset please this was meant to be a fun day."

"And such a fun day it turned out to be." You replied curtly. He sighed, "Phil gets jealous sometimes and he still doesn't know how to deal with it like a normal human being."

"But what does he have to be jealous about, Nick is my friend and we've been friends for a long time. He's just protective of me. I haven't even known you guys for that long. It's not fair for him to get jealous for no reason and then be upset at me."

Dan sighed again. "I know it's not fair, your right he shouldn't even be jealous. I can't explain all of Phil's actions, I can barely explain my own but please forgive him, he'll be torn if you don't." Dan replied.

You sighed releasing your anger, "fine, where is he, though?" We both looked around and realised Phil had disappeared. "Phil!" You called out.

"Sorry," said a voice behind you, it was Phil, "I..."

"It's alright Phil, I forgive you," You said hugging him.

"Y/n I don't forgive myself, can I buy you some ice cream?"

"Ok Philly, that would be great."

Phil bought all three of you ice cream. Dan got a scoop of triple chocolate ice cream and Phil got a scoop of strawberry. Phil got you two scoops so you had {insert two favourite ice-cream flavours}.

As the three of you were leaving the market Dan said, "Wow, y/n you know a lot of people and I mean a lot. I didn't know you were that talkative that you decide to be friendly with the whole marketplace." You laughed, "Well, I like meeting new people and they're all really nice, they're like family to me. Since mine is on the other side of the globe."

It was getting dark but Dan and Phil insisted that the day wasn't over. You tried to get out of it by complaining about the fact that your legs were sore but Phil begged you to come to the final part of the day. You couldn't resist Phil's begging so you kept going. "This sure is a day out, isn't it." You said as you walked towards the tube. "Yeah, but it will be worth it," Phil said convincingly. After another awkward tube ride and some more walking, you realised where they were taking you.

"THE LONDON EYE!" You squealed freezing on the spot, Dan and Phil were really happy to see you so excited. "Come on then!" Dan said walking towards the ticket booth. After coming back with tickets you gave Dan and Phil and big hug each. They had made you feel so special and you were just so happy when they were around, your problems just melted away. They are uplifting and always make you feel really good about yourself after their stories of horror. All three of you were lining up and five minutes before it was your turn, Dan turned around and bit his lip, "I have to go to the bathroom," he said quietly.

"Just hold on for another five minutes and then we're on the ride," You replied.

"Yeah and then the ride goes for another ten minutes, I can't hold on for 15 minutes!" He whisper-screams.

You sighed, "but..." Dan was already gone. "Dan!" Phil calls after him, "you can't just..." Dan turned and smirked. Then realisation hits you, Dan didn't need to go to the bathroom, he's trying to set you and Phil up. But why? He doesn't know I have a crush on Phil and Phil obviously doesn't like... Then Phil cut off your thoughts, "Y/n, we're up."

"Oh yeah sorry," Phil was so excited he was being really child-like but then again so were you, tugging his arm as Phil handed the man the tickets. You noticed that there were only two tickets Dan didn't even buy himself one. Dan was being so very cunning, but why?

You and Phil got on the ride and sat for a few moments before it started. When it did the cage jolted a little and then continued to go around, at the jolt Phil gripped onto the bars of the cage and fear instantly covered his face. You looked over and met his gaze, you cocked your head, "are you scared?" You asked Phil. "What? No, I'm fine." Phil replied quickly, looking away and tightening his grip.

You laughed. "Well Phil last time you told me you were fine..." you started. "Oh, shut up," he said flicking a hand at you. You laughed again, "but seriously, are you ok?" You turned to him placing a hand on his. Phil opened his mouth to reply but instead of speaking he looked down at your hand in shock.

"Y/n! Your hand is freezing!" He said, his mouth still wide open.

"Oh... I'm... Sorry..." You replied nervously.

"No, don't be sorry. Aren't you cold?" He said putting an arm around your shoulder and pulling your hands over to his lap with the other.

You shrugged. "Not really, I mean it's a bit chilly but other than that..."

"No, y/n it's absolutely freezing. Why didn't you say something you could've used my jacket." Phil said concern coating his voice.

"But then you would be cold," You replied smiling weakly, you immediately felt a blush creep up your cheeks when Phil replied with.

"Don't worry if I get cold I'll just hug you." You felt a lump build up in your throat and you couldn't find the words to reply.

"Here," Phil said he had already taken his jacket off and was wrapping it around you. You smiled in reply.

"Thank-you," you murmured almost inaudibly. You hadn't realised that through all the fuss, you were now almost at the top of the London Eye. "This is so exciting, oh my gosh. London is absolutely beautiful at night. Especially since were on the London Eye."

Phil chuckled a little, "yeah it sure is."

"What?" You asked, you very confused, why was Phil laughing?

"Nothing," Phil replied shaking his head. "What?!" You asked more urgently. "Don't worry about it just look at beautiful London," Phil said pointing out towards the city. You pouted your lips and widened your eyes,  "fine!" You turned to look back at London but you could still feel Phil's eyes piercing the back of your head.

When you and Phil got off the London Eye Dan was right there smirking at you both. Phil was walking quite close to you and you still had his coat on.

"So, how was the ride?" Dan said raising his eyebrows at us. "It was fantastic, the lights were beautiful from up there." You replied joyfully.

"And Phil how was the ride for you?" Dan inquired.

"It was great," Phil replied smiling madly at you. A blush covered your face and your cheeks became warm.

"Well, let's go home then," Dan said hailing a cab. Several empty cabs passed and none stopped for Dan, you smirked he sucked at it. You saw a cab coming up the street, you stepped out onto the road a little and waved at the cab, then you put your fingers in your mouth and whistled loudly. The cab pulled over just in front of you. "That's how you hail a taxi," you said turning to a wide-eyed Dan and Phil. You all piled into the cab and you told the driver your address.

"Thanks for taking me out you guys, I really appreciate it." You said to Dan and Phil.

"It was all our pleasure," Dan replied, "yeah." Phil continued timidly.

"No, I'm being serious. Thank-you so much, I haven't had this much fun in ages and it's all thanks to you." Dan and Phil smiled gratefully and a small blush coated Phil's cheeks.

"We've had a lot of fun as well, we wouldn't have taken you out if we didn't want to have a great time," Phil said placing a hand on your knee. You smiled, why were they so kind to you?

The cab pulled up out the front of your flat. "We need to hang out way more often," you said as you got out of the car.

"Definitely," Phil replied.
