Trigger warning: sexual behavior kinda
Phil's point of view
The scent of chai tea floats through the air as we enter Dans home. His mother is preparing dinner, and I'm assuming that chai tea is being prepared as well. "Hey honey, lovely to see you." Mrs.Howell says as she gives me a side hug. She smiles sweetly at me. "Daniel, how was your day sweetie?" She kisses his cheek softly and brushes the hair out of his eyes. "It was good, Mum. Phil and I are going to my room to study." He said to his mother. "Okay honey. Would you also study your Bibles? I feel like the school isn't having you do that enough, I'm going to have a talk with your teacher." His mother said attentively while looking both me and Dan in the eyes. I nodded and smiled politely. "Of course Mum, I love you."
Dan grabbed my wrist and pulled me up the stairs. I plop my school bag on the floor and we sit across from each other on his bed. "Can we study later? I'm not really in the mood I guess." Dan said disinterested. "Yeah of course, I was about to ask the same thing..." I said to him. My eyes drew their attention to his lips. They looked like heaven to kiss, and I could do it right now, I honestly could. Should I? I locked eyes with him. I ran my fingers through my hair.
Dans sun-kissed eyes looked me up and down. "Are you okay?" He asked worriedly. "Oh yeah I'm fine, don't worry." I said reassuringly. "So earlier today, I think Olivia tried to hook up with me or something.." I felt a pang of hurt as the words left his lips. "Oh?" I said, pretending to be interested rather than upset. "She got really close to my face.. like this close." Dan scooted towards me to demonstrate the closeness of him and Olivia. Our faces, inches away. "Then, she leaned in, like this." He leaned in close enough that our noses were touching. I could feel his breath and it made me feel alive again, Like an electric charge shot through my body. My heart shot up so fast that It either stopped beating or it was beating too fast for me to feel it. "D-dan? Did you k-kiss her?" I questioned nervously. "No. I moved my face away before she could try anything. I like boys, remember?" He giggled.
I wiggled my eyebrows and sarcastically asked "Do you like me?" While making a weird face. "Yes." He said, straight faced. Oh my god this can't be happening. "D-dan I.." my voice trailed off. I'm gonna say it- "I'm kidding dude." Dan said, giggling. "Oh my gosh" I sighed, a little sad but it doesn't really matter anyways. I started laughing along with Dan, making small sarcastic jokes along the lines of "oh yeah Dandelion I love you baby.." and Dan adding in "Philly please date me" while letting out a dramatic yet playful moan, which was incredibly sexy in my opinion.
After about five minutes of Banting with each other, we both let out sighs and laid back on Dans bed. He was laying on his side, my body right in front of him laying on my side as well. I looked into his eyes, forever admiring the beauty in which they hold. His adorable button nose just made me want to boop it every second of every day. Dan stared back at me, entranced in my eyes. I still wonder, what is it about Dan? What is it about this boy that danced with my soul?
He cups my cheek in his hand, moving his thumb back and fourth over my smooth skin. "Phil, I just wanted to say thank you. You're always there for me and I just... I appreciate you a lot." Dan said, a fond smile on his lips. I move my face closer so that our noses touch. My hand moves to the side of his head, twirling his hair in my fingers. "I'll always be there for you, whether we grow up to be friends, boyfriends..." my heart skipped a beat, I can't believe I said that. Dan looks up at me, blushing furiously. "enemies, even when you become a gross old man." I finished. We started laughing in unison.
10:00 pm roles around, and we're sat on dans bed studying our Bibles. You see, Dans a very open book towards me, and tells me (most) of his feelings, however I'm afraid to let him know that a. I don't believe in god , b. That I'm gay, and c. That I'm hopelessly in love with him. Mrs.Howell enters Dans room. "Okay boys, I know Bible study is very important, but it's time for bed." Dan sighed, but obeyed his mother. "Okay Mum, goodnight. We love you." He said. "Awe, honey. I love you both dearly." She said. She flicked off the light switch and left us for the night.
"Hey dude, do you have any clothes to wear to bed?" Dan asked. "Ugh, no! I forgot, I'm sorry." I felt a bit embarrassed. "Hey, don't stress it dude." Dan got one of his big fluffy hoodies. It smelled like him. oh my god, yes, I'm stealing this from him tomorrow.
Dan pulled his shirt off his chest revealing his gorgeous pale body. I couldn't help but admire his curves, his collar bones, his everything. He is just so beautiful. As Dan begun removing his trousers, I started by lifting my shirt off too. I removed my uncomfortable jeans, leaving us both in our boxers.
I stood up to retrieve the hoodie Dan got for me, but as I walked towards him, I tripped on my school bag which I had stupidly dropped on the floor. I fell into Dans arms, our bare chests touching each other while His arms wrap tightly around my body. "Ah, oh my gosh I'm so sorry Dan I didn't mean to-" Dan cut me off. "Philly, it's okay. Don't freak out." I wrapped my arms around his neck, (bold move, believe me I know,) and I just hugged him. I embraced his body and leaned my head on his shoulder. "I'll always be here to catch you when you fall." He said, hugging me tighter. I stared Dan in the eyes once again and slid my hand down to his waist, playing with the line of his boxers. "C-can I have the sweatshirt please?" I asked while admiring him. "Y-yeah." Dan replied, bending over to pick it up. I slid into the sweatshirt while dan didn't put on a shirt, rather a pair of sweatpants, however I was only wearing my boxers.
We hopped into bed and lay next to each other. "Do you think you've met your soulmate?" I cautiously asked Dan. "Yes, well it depends" He answers. "Depends on what?" I replied, awaiting an answer from the boy who had my heart. "If he's my soulmate, that means he has to like me too. I don't know if he does..." said Dan in a sad tone. Phil has lots of friends who are guys, it could be any one of them. Odds are, it's not me. I know that. I slowly reached for Dans hands and fiddled with his fingers as I said, "Who is it?" My heart danced around in my chest, awaiting a response. "Dan?" I asked yet again, hearing nothing but silence.
I watched a steady rise and fall from his chest, what a doofus, he must have fallen asleep. I prop myself up on my elbows, hovering over a sleeping Dan. I brushed his hair out of his face lightly. "You'll never know how In love with you I am. No matter who you love, your soul will always dance with mine, but you'll never know." I whispered, staring intensely at the beautiful celestial in which laid right below me. I placed my hand lightly on either side of his head, trying not to wake him up, and softly kissed his forehead before ending with a "Goodnight, Dan. I love you."
