Dan:

What just happened? I may be quiet but I have millions of questions running through my mind. Was this gay thing a phase? Do I love Phil? What does Phil's mum think? These thoughts were circulating my mind as Phil and I made our way to the dining room to eat. We both took a seat next to each other. Martyn and Katherine were sitting directly across from Phil and I. Phil's mum was a great cook. She made some type of Asian dish, I dont know exactly what it is, but it smells good and its edible so hell I'm going to eat it.

"So boys...about what happened upstairs.." she paused. Phil and I blushed.

"Wait! What happened in Phil's room?" Martyn questioned. Then it hit him.

"Ohhh. Okay well...to make this less awkward I'll eat upstairs." Martyn said as he took his plate and went upstairs. He seems nice.

"Alright well as I was saying...Sorry about walking in on you boys. I should've knocked or something." she said smiling. She has to be mental or backwards. Most parents would've at least given some sort of punishment. I think it's because it was between two boys, and not a boy and a girl. That's a possibility.

"Just make sure if your planning on doing that again...lock the door next time or something. Or give me a heads up before hand." she said. There she goes again.

"Mum..it's alright really." Phil said awkwardly. But he seemed relieved by the way this played out. We all then seemed to enjoy the peaceful silence for the rest of the meal. I could see Phil taking glances at me every once in awhile. I looked over at him once and he looked down quickly and blushed into his plate. I can already see what I've gotten myself into here.

After the meal had finished Phil and I where making our way up the stairs, but then was stopped by Martyn.

"Phil go on. I wanna talk to Dan." he said with a smile glued to his face. Genuine, but still complex. I looked over at Phil, who had his eyes locked with Martyn.

"You know he doesn't speak right?" Phil asked him.

"Yes Phil. Mum told me before you two came downstairs. Don't worry, I'll be doing the talking and he'll just have to listen. Okay." Martyn said with another smile.

"Okay. You have 5 minutes with him." Phil said. He sounded a bit like a mum. I giggled internally for his overprotective~ness. It was quite cute. Phil walked into his room and closed the door. I turned my gaze to Martyn, who was no longer smiling.

"Listen Dan lets make this short and sweet. I'm glad you like my brother and everything. I can see it in your eyes. I think your a great kid and great for Phil and all that stereotypical bullshit. But I swear to you Dan, if you hurt my brother, I will find you...and beat the ever living shit out of you. You understand?" he asked me in a serious tone. I nodded. I could tell he was serious, friendly, but serious.

"Well good. Oh and Dan. I'll just pretend I didn't hear the moaning coming from Phil's room." he then winked and walked into his room. Closing the door behind him. I stood there dumbfounded. He confronts me, then walks away like nothing ever happened. Phil's family is strange, but a very good one. They look out for each other, they unconditionally love and care for one another. They accept each other. I wish my family was more like this. But that's something I have no control over.

I walked down the hall toward Phil's room and slowly opened the door. Phil was sitting at his desk with earphones in, listening to music. I quietly closed the door behind me and started creeping over to him. I took out one of his earphones and kissed his cheek. He seemed surprised.

"What was that for Daniel?" he asked me, handing me his note book again. I began to write. Then handed the notebook back to him. His eyes filled with tears when he read my message.

{I love you Phil}
