Chapter Eleven

( Stranger Things reference^^^)

"Dan. Are you alright?" Phil asked worringly breaking Dan from his thoughts.

Dan turnedhis head from the window. "Yeah. I'm fine." Dan stated trying to make it believable.

Lies

"Bullcrap." Phil mumbled obviously thiking Dan didn't hear him. Dan did, and Dan was glad to know Phil wasn't the only he was translucent to.

"Phil. Where are we going?" Dan asked changing the subject.

"Somewhere." Phil responded.

"Phil!" Dan snapped annoyed. Phil chuckled looking straight ahead. Dan rolled his eyes.

"We're almost there." Phil commented. Dan calmed down, well sort of. Dan rolled his wondow down and looked out, at the street, cars, buildings. Every once in a while he would locke eyes with someone and often wonder:

Are they like me? Can they see I'm not fine?How is it that I'll never see this person again?

Dan pondered this - at first - not caring where they were going.

"We're here." Phil announced. Dan looked over at Phil as he got out of the car, Dan unbuckled his seat belt. Dan opened the car door and ducked his head getting out so his head wouldn't hit the top of the car.

Tall buildings smashed together as if they needed each other. The shopping center. Dan didn't particularly like th mall, all the tight spaces and how many people there were just made him feel claustrohobic.

"The shopping center?" Dan groaned.

"Yes Dan, we neede to buy you a nice suit. Er- that's what I heard." Phil explained yanking Dan's hand that was folded across his chest and tugging it loose. Phil pulled dan toward the cross walk.

"Why do I need a suit?" Dan asked curiously, noticing how warm and soft Phil's hand was. It was.... nice.

"You just do." Phil remarked trying not to get into the subject.

"Phil...." Dan taunted pressuring the subject.

"Dan." Phil addressed him sternly. Dan couldn't help but notice Phil was still holding his hand, but he wasn't going to bring that up. WHat if Phil let go?

"Phil." Dan said matching his tone. Stopping on the sidewalk. Phil's body was jerked back but did not let go of his hand.

"Walk." He ordered. Dan looked ahead of him noticing that the red hand 'stop' sign had turned in to the white 'Walk' sign. Dan trudged behind Phil, Phil pulling Dan along slowly.

Dan also didn't shopping.

"Look. We're here." Phil commented. Dan couldn't tell if Phil was talking to him or himself, so Dan just nodded.

"Now will you tell me why we're here?" Dan asked bringing it back up.

"You don't want to know." Phil stated seriously walking inside the nice store.

"Oh but I do." Dan fought following Phil.

"Fine, but we get you a suit, then we talk." Phil compromised. Dan sat for a second thinking.

"Agreed." Dan gave in shaking Phil's hand.

"This one?" Phil asked. Dan eyed it.

Black, white inside, red tie. Dan actually liked it, but he had to annoy Phil.

"No." DAn responded putting a contorted face.

"DAN!" Phil yelled. Everyone in the store looked at him. Both embarrassed they started walking. "You have to choose something." Phil told him annoyed. Phil new the game Dan was playing, but Phil also knw Dan was going to lose.

"I will." Dan reassured Phil.

Not.

Dan thought.

Ten minutes passed. Ten minutes of "This? Or this? That one?" And a lot of yelling, but Dan didn't care.

"Dan we've been here for an hour." Phil complained.

"Oh really?" Dan asked sarcastically."Wow. Time sure flies by when your having fun." Dan stated. Dan and Phil passed a suit, black, black tie and a white under shirt. Plain, but Dan liked it. Phil noticed Dan looking at it longingly, but for Phil's revenge he took a black suit with very thin whie srtipes and a red tie.

"Try it on." Phil ordered Dan throwing it into Dan's arms. Dan rolled his eyes and head into the changing room defeated.

Dan walked out, the suit was large. It had made the sleeves look like Dan stuffed rugs up them, the length of the shirt was almost mid-thigh and the tie- Dan skipped it. He held the pants up for he didn't the pants would slide down exposing his underwear.

"Danny come out." Phil teased. Dan groaned now realizing the trick, however he decided to go out there and humor Phil.

Dan did.

And all Dan could think about was Phil's laugh. How gentle it sounded, how his tounge went to the side of his mouth, how adorable it was. Phil gave Dan the suit Dan was originally interested in, the one that he liked. Dan shook his head, if this was a game, he was done playing.

"No Phil." Dan told Phil with flushed cheeks, embarrassed.

"C'mon Dan." Phil said now that he could finally breathe because of how hard he was laughing.

"No." Dan stated sternly.

This went on for five or six minuted until Phil had enough. He pulled Dan's shoulder, bringing his ear to his lips.

"Try. IT. On." Phil whispered sternly. Phil's cold voice sent chills down his back.

"Fine." Dan growled. "But you get yours on first." Dan compromised not really caring.

"Okay." Phil agreed. Phil walked into the changing rooms, and for some reason, a part of Dan was very anxious to see Phil in a suit.

Phil walked out only moments later wearing the same suit as Dan had in his hand. Dan scannd Phil, but then realized he was also checking Phil out. Dan stopped, hopig he wasn't blushing inffront of Phil. But even if he was, Phil didn't seem to notice.

"Sexy." Dan smirked teasingly.

"Gay." Phil commented jokingly back.

"You wish." Dan fought.

Phil thought about that sentence. He didn't wish that. Or at least he hoped he didn't.

At this time, Dan realized this is the first time he's smirked or done anything related to a smile since Emily died.

Emily...

Dan thought. His hands starting to mildly shake.

"Okay Dan." Phil called out now also smirking. "Your turn."
