this chapter is trashy and cliche fff
Dan looked in the mirror.
Hair straight? Check.
Outfit on point? He hoped so.
Bouquet in hand? Yep.
He was ready.
Fast-walking to the flower shop, he thought about Phil. "He must look so much better than me", he imagined.
Soon enough, he was a block away and his heart beat quickened. He was smiling at this point. He might've been anxious but he was still happy.
He turned the corner and saw Phil in all his glory. As he was about to greet him, he noticed.... a woman? They were talking and, being the curious shit he was, he eavesdropped.
"....can't wait for our wedding!", Phil laughed.
"Same", she answered, laughing as well.
They hugged and he kissed her cheek.
"Bye! I'll see you soon"
"See you!"
Dan stopped. He stood frozen on his spot. Wedding? Our wedding? Who was she? And why was Phil-
"Oh hey, Dan! You're here!"
"I can't believe you"
"What? Why?"
Dan shoved the bouquet in Phil's face and, as it fell to the ground, he ran. Where was he running? He didn't know. But anywhere away from Phil. Phil wasn't even his but why did he feel so jealous and- and-
"Dan you little fucker!", Phil screamed and grabbed his arm. "What are you doing?!"
Dan slowly turned around, tears in his eyes. He wouldn't face Phil.
"Dan, what's wrong?"
They both stood staring into each other's eyes, both not wanting to utter a single word. Tears continued to stream down Dan's cheeks and Phil pulled him into a hug. "Are you alright?"
"It's stupid I'm sorry. I should leave"
He pushed Phil away from him. Oh, how he hated what he was doing, but it was a stupid reason to cry anyway. Phil would never like him. Of course he would have someone else. Of course that someone else had to look all beautiful and sweet and perfect. Of course Phil didn't actually mean anything about this "date". He doesn't like you, Dan. He never will.
"Dan, answer me"
"Why don't you go back to that woman you were with?"
"What?"
"The woman? What wedding Phil? I don't understand. Is she your girlfriend? Fiancé?"
"Sister", Phil abruptly corrected him. He was angry now. "Listen, Dan: don't assume things about people like that. I can't believe you would- the last person in the world I would believe to- oh my god okay when I said wedding I meant our wedding. As in you and me"
He didn't mean to say that last part. His hand shot up to cover his mouth but Dan grabbed it. "Our what?"
"It's nothing. I'm sorry all you need to know is that she's my sister and-", he paused for a few seconds. "Okay I really like you. Like, really really like you. And- and I was planning to ask you out today so she was joking that we would get married and-"
Dan cut him off by laughing. More tears flooded out of his eyes, but they were happy tears. "Wow, am I stupid?"
okay excuse the next few sentences because I'm in some kind of cliché mood don't kill me
Quietly, it began to rain. The droplets landed on Dan and Phil but they couldn't have given a care in the world. "You're adorable", Phil whispered.
"Shut up and kiss me, you dork", Dan said.
Phil smiled and did just that.
kay I'm trash stab me bye I love all of you
