The following Monday Dan and Phil were watching Death Note [or spongebob, your choice] when Dan's phone chimed loudly but he ignored it.
"Dan? You got a text," Phil said pointedly.
"Yeah, I know," Dan stated.
"...Aren't you gonna answer it?"
"No, I'm trying to spend time with you. I go to school an hour away and I don't get much time with you anymore," Dan moped.
"Well, you're here now. But you do know you can answer a text, right?"
Dan picked up his phone, looked at the text and almost immediately slammed it back down on the table, screen down.
"What was all that about?" Phil asked.
"Oh, it was just an Instagram notification.
"Oh, alright," Phil shrugged and continued watching the TV.
***
After a few episodes neither Dan nor Phil had said anything, being too entranced by the show.
Suddenly, Phil spoke, " thank you, Dan,"
"What?" Dan asked, confused.
He hadn't done anything to be thanked for.
Phil looked him in the eyes, "I love you,"
"I love you too," Dan nodded.
***
Dan couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt when saying those four simple words. Looking into Phil's maya blue eyes as he said it. After all the stuff Phil knew and didn't know about Dan, he still managed to say those words so sincerely, whereas Dan's were more of a response, a reassurance.
He didn't want to leave Phil, because he loved him he really did. But he felt detached. Like the spark was lost.
He sighed and had continued paying attention to the anime when his phone dinged again. He knew who it was but he didn't want to talk to him. He was with Phil now, and that's all that mattered.
[A/N sorry for the crappy update. My geography teacher gave us a big homework and the girl I'm doing it with only just left. There'll be more updates tomorrow and maybe one tonight, idk. Stay alive - Oli]
