Mental

Chapter Four|Hurricane

Dan

Dan is eating lunch with Pj today. It wasn't planned, but Pj sat right next to him, and launched into a conversation about videogames before Dan could even blink.

Dan didn't mind. It was an interesting conversation that he was glad he was apart of.

Plus, Pj was nice to look at.

"So, other than videogames what are you interested in?" Dan asked.

Pj smiled, "You."

Dan smiles back, "That's very gay of you to say, Pj."

Pj laughs, "I am gay. Well, bisexual. Close to the same deal."

Dan nods, "That's good. That means we're on the same page. I'm pansexual myself."

"Would you like to be gay with me this Saturday, and go see a movie?" Pj asks smiling.

Dan likes how confident, and calm he is.
It makes it less awkward.

"I would love to be queer with you this Saturday, Dr. Ligouri."

Phil

Phil watches his doctor from across the cafeteria, glaring intensely at the man he was talking to. He felt like he was drilling holes into the guys head with his intense laser vision, but the man was so distracted with Dan he didn't seem to notice.

That lab coat is far too close to my doctor.

"Hey, Phildo."

Phil looks up to see his friend Chris sitting down next to him. Chris had a weird sense of humor, and soft brown hair. He was also gay, but he refused to admit that to Phil. Phil already knew anyway. Chris wasn't a patient here, and Phil was jealous. He worked with security.

Phil laughs hysterically at the nickname, 'Phildo'. That was a nickname that most definitely didn't make him feel princely like 'Philip'.

"Why hello there, Christopher. I was beginning to think you forgot about me." he greets cheerfully.

Chris rolls his eyes, "You've been here longer than I've worked here. Which is a very long time. There is no forgetting you. Especially since you are the star of this place."

Phil smirks, "I know."

"What are you doing staring down Dr. Ligouri like that?" Chris asks.

Phil scowls, "Is that the idiots name? Sounds like a crusty pasta."

Chris frowns, "Why don't you like him? He's very nice, and smart. He likes to draw, and make films, and he's cute, and-"

"Does it look like I fucking care?" Phil interrupts harshly, "He's whoring up on my property, and I don't like it."

Chris bursts into laughter, "Wait a minute, you don't like him because you have a crush on your doctor, and so does he? Your psychologist isn't actually yours, Phil. You don't own Dr. Howell."

"First of all, yes I do, and second of all, I don't have a crush on my doctor," Phil snaps, "Dan is supposed to fall in love me. I know it. Dr. Ravioli, or whatever, is already ruining that plan, and it's only been two days!"

"It's Ligouri-"

"Shut up!" Phil shouts loudly, smacking his hand hard on the table earning the attention of half of the cafeteria. Except for Dan and Pj's half where they are happily flirting making Phil's insides twist.

"Calm down, Phil before they make me drag you away." Chris warns.

Phil rolls his eyes, "Fine."

He can't seem to tear his attention away from Dan, and his new annoyingly attractive friend. Dan had to think he was cuter though, right?
