Best Friends?

Chapter 6

The taxi pulled up to my flat, so I thanked the driver and stepped out into the drizzling London air.

Once I got inside, I heard Dans feet make their way to the top of the stairs, waiting for an explanation.

I get around the corner and see his face, angry, confused, and the one that hurt me the most, disappointed. Yet he didn't say anything about it, actually, the only thing he said was, "I missed you."

I shake my head, "Oh Dan, I'm so sorry! I left with no explanation of why- I'm sorry!"

"It's fine, I get it. We all get busy sometimes." He said, a slight smile playing on his lips.

I patted his shoulder, "I didn't mean to leave you alone." Then I took off my jacket and set it on a hook.

Starting to make my way to the kitchen, I hear Dan shuffle his feet, "Phil, if you don't mind me being nosy, where were you?"

Oh crap.

"Oh, I was just visiting an old friend from high school that's in London for a bit." I lied through my teeth.

"That's nice!" I turned around to see Dan with a genuine and relieved smile.

"So what do you want to have for supper?"
>•<
Somehow, hours later, Dan and I ended up curled up on the couch, sharing a big black blanket between us.

Me and Dan usually don't sit so close together, it's not like we were touching, but we were sharing the same side of the couch. Watching anime at quarter to one in the morning. Very nice.

Dan sat with his knees up to his chest and I sit cross legged on our sofa. We kept each other company, a steady commentary flowing throughout the episodes, laughing and gasping. Nice company.

Until time flew by and at 1:56, I had started to doze off, cuddling into the arm of the couch. Dan shuffled over a little bit towards me.

The last thing I heard was, "Goodnight little Philly." And a gentle hand playing with the ends of my hair.
>•<
I feel a warm shape cuddling into my shoulder, and soft breaths brushing past my ear. Dan.

My eyes fluttered open, and almost like he can detect me awake, Dan opens his eyes. He was about to nuzzle himself back to sleep, until he realized my open eyes staring at his morning face.

"S-sorry." Dan stammered and almost shot off of me, and made my whole side cold from where he was cuddling.

I couldn't help but let out a little laugh, "Dan it's not your fault, most people cling to things as they doze, it's natural to move in your sleep! Don't worry too much about it."

He blushes a little bit, probably from the embarrassment of waking up to find out he was cuddling his best friend. Dan ruffled his hair to fix his bed head and I could see it curling on top of his head. It was kinda cute.

   I shook my head to rid of the weird thoughts and said to Dan (to get rid of the awkward silence), "Let's go have some cereal!" As I jumped up from the couch I could hear Dan sniffle a laugh when he got up to follow me to the kitchen.

While we ate breakfast, Dan and I sat in silence. Spoons tapping the bowls, Dan still slightly red and an ambulance drove by outside. I'm not sure if we were just really hungry from our small supper yesterday, or if we were just tired from the binge watch last night.

Finally, Dan spoke, "So do you have any plans today? I was hoping we could go for a walk or something like we used to."

Dammit. "Of course I'd love to! Just we will have to be back by 5:20 because I'm meeting up with my old friend again, I'm not sure how long they're staying for so we thought we would do more catching up just in case."

Dan just nodded his head and smiled, "So we better go out earlier is what your saying?"

   I rolled my eyes and laughed, "Yes Dan, that's what I'm saying."

   "Okay!" He jumped up and put his bowl by the sink.

   "Daaan!"

   But it was too late, he had run to the bathroom, and seconds before I got up to clean my bowl and his, the shower started.

   He had beat me to the shower, little bastard. Now I would have to wait until he was done so that I could go get ready for our park adventure.

   To pass the time I set out my red and blue jacket and a white shirt along with skinny jeans. Awesome.

   The shower turns off, and I hear Dan step out. I wait for Dan to get to his room until I run to get in the shower so we can leave earlier, since I can't be late for 5:20. I don't want to be late for 5:20.

   The shower was nice and warm, I didn't like my showers too hot. The beads of water wicked away my sense of feeling dirty. My body felt nice and clean after the long day I had yesterday. Finally finished up with my scrubbing and hair conditioner, I step out of the shower. Feeling refreshed I got a towel and headed off into my room to change, accidentally bumping into Dan on the way.

   "Oh-Sorry Phil." Dan said flustered.

   "No it was an accident, see you in 10!" I reassured him, he always seemed so darn sorry all the time.

   After getting dressed into my amazing 'costume', I made my way into the lounge. Where Dan lay in his  sofa crease scrolling through his dashboard on his laptop. "Awww!" I exclaimed when I saw Dans hedgehog shirt get-up.

   I had bought him a hedge hog T shirt a little while back cause I said it reminded me of him, but Dan said he would never wear a bright blue shirt with a cartoon hedgehog on it. Little liar.

   He blushes again,"you don't have to say that, I'm trying to look cool remember!"

   I can't contain a laugh, and Dan joins in. This is going to be a fun two hours.

   I jump and start towards the front door, "Then let's go!"
