Internet relationship ( part 1 )

a/n PHAN YASS

*Dan's POV*

I sat in the dim light of my bedroom with the curtains closed and a single lamp lighting up my face enough. My laptop was strategically placed on the end of my bed, but not enough for it to fall off . I tapped my short black nails along the windowsill as I opened the curtains slightly to see the fading pink evening sky.

FtAAnG ! My computer blared out snapping me back to reality, yet it snapped me into what I thought was a dream .

Skype: one new message from Phil Lester .

I rushed back over to the edge of my bed, tripping over piles of clothes but never-less feeling HAPPY. Phil has been my internet friend for an entire year -but he lives all the way up north of England and I live near London .Well, I say internet friend more like internet boyfriend ......

Phil: CALL ME <3

I ruffled my hair up, checked my self in the mirror and put on my brightest smile , after all I was going to video chat with PHIL LESTER of all people. I clicked the call button and it connected automatically . the first thing I saw was a slightly pixilated image of what seemed to be a train ticket ... A TRAIN TICKET .

*Phil's POV*
I want to sit on a huge sofa and cuddle with you ,watching Netflix , I want to say " I'm coooooooolldddd ," in a babyish voice and for you to pass me your big sweater . I want you to sleep curled up next to me with takeout boxes and sweet wrappers littering the floor. I want to yawn and whisper " Goodnight sweetie ," as I kiss your forehead and fall asleep , one arm hanging off the sofa the other clutched to you as you rest your head underneath my chin . I want to wake up in the early AM to the fresh smell of nearly burned pancakes and you dancing around like a lunatic to muse whilst dressed in a frilly apron . I want to come up behind you , clutch your waist and rest my chin on your shoulder. I want you to turn around and kiss me on the lips for so long you forget the pancakes are cooking and you set the oven blaring. But as my mother said "I want , never gets."
Having an Internet relationship sucks.

But things were about to change all in that moment as Phil went down for his dinner at his mothers and Dan sat in his own bedroom dreaming of the guy he loved . 220 miles away.
*Phil's POV*
"Phil dear , mind putting the kettle on ?" My mum asked whilst getting the cutlery from the old stiff draw we can't be bothered to get fixed . It's a tough job opening it , it usually would be my dads job but he's been acting weird these past few days after I came out , he rarely comes home for dinner and makes petty excuses. He's never said anything directly to me just .... Weird . "Ow !" My mum squealed as she trapped her finger in the wooden door . "Mum! Are you ok!" I asked as I took her over to the sink to run it under cold water . She looked like she would burst into tears at any given time. "Mum? " I panicked, she looked me straight in the eyes and murmured "it's just your dad ... He's a dick." I was worried but I couldn't help but smirk as she rarely swore. She saw my smirk , "OY ! Don't you be repeating that language !" She said as she jokingly hit me with the tea towel . I finished pouring the tea and went to set it on the dining table . My mum came back in with two steaming hot plates - being two and not three I was disappointed and stared longingly at the place where my dad usually sat . But ever so I plucked up the courage to ask her . For Dan .
"M-mum ?" I stammered . She looked up from her plate where she was depressingly twiddling her food around on her fork , she looked as disappointed as me. " yes darling?" She semi- smiled .  "Well you know I'm seventeen now and I have enough money saved up .. " I trailed off ,  I wasn't sure she'd know what I was droning on about . "And well I have this friend ... " she didn't seem entirely bothered ," .. Well boyfriend really ." Her eyes lit up at the word boyfriend  and I'm guessing she thought of dad .." I wanted to get a train ticket to meet him. Down in Wokingham.. Don't worry I know him he's Chris's friend." He wasn't Chris's friend -my best friend- I only added that to avoid the lecture on Internet safety . I continued to drone on about Dans interests. My mum sat up straight and looked over at me , " you know I fully support your decisions Phil and your sexuality . Your dad.." She trailed off . She thought for a moment and then smiled a huge smile , " NO . Eff your dad he can think whatever , you're my child ! We need to lighten up ! Go, live your life Phil , I'll pay and I'll deal with your dad . That's what mums are for !" She laughed a little . I was astounded . "OH MY GOD MUM I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" I squealed and hugged her skinny body . All my mind was racing with , DAN DAN DAN DAN .
*Dans POV*
I spun around in my chair for a long while , patiently at my desk waiting for my mum to come back from work , it was around 8pm and she usually came back at 5pm . "Late again .." I said to no one but I was the tiniest bit worried . I hadn't had food yet so I picked up my phone next to my computer where the latest Kanye album was blaring and ordered a pizza. I walked over to the window and stared out. The doorbell snapped me out of my state of existential crisis whilst at my window and I went downstairs slowly and opened it to the pizza guy stood impatiently picking at his nails , I payed him and took the pizza up to my room , still questioning life . And why the love of my crucial existence has to live on the other side of the country.

"You interrupted Kanye for this ! What is it I can't see " I laughed , I adjusted my computer and the image finally came into view Phil was holding a train ticket it read ' child single from Rawtenstall to Wokingham ' and was dated for this Saturday. I squealed so much my dog started barking . PHIL LESTER.  PHIL. LESTER. PHIL LESTER IS COMING TO MEET ME ON SATURDAY .
