plot: dan howell, the popular boy, and phil lester, the shy nerd, are slowly becoming best friends. will dan give up his reputation to be with phil, or inevitablely leave phil for his popular friends?

Dan knocks on Phil's door, they were slowly become closer and closer friends. Even though they were both really different, Dan hung out with the group of popular people, quarterback of the football team. Phil was quiet, enjoyed reading, and wore lots of eyeliner and pink. One day Phil bumped into Dan when he was wearing a Muse shirt, and found the courage to tell him he liked that band too. Ever since, they've found out the have a lot in common. Though Dan didn't always have a lot of time for Phil, he couldn't be caught hanging out with someone that wasn't as popular as him, everyone would hate him. Phil understood, he'd probably feel the same if he was in Dan's shoes, though it still hurt him.

"Hey" Dan smiles, snow softly fell all around him.

Phil gasps, "You're not wearing a jacket! Dan, you're going to freeze!"

"We're literally just going down the street! Besides, it's not that cold."

"I am not leaving till you have a coat on." Phil says and stares at Dan with a stern expression.

"Well, fine." Dan couldn't say no to Phil, "But I don't have one with me."

"I'll grab you one!" Phil's eyes light up and he runs upstairs, then comes back down with a pink sweatshirt.

"You have got to be kidding me." Dan says.

"It's all I have. You either wear this or you go home cold and hungry while I stay here and drink my hot chocolate."

"I can't believe this." Dan says and puts the sweatshirt over his head, it was surprisingly comfortable. Hopefully he didn't run into anyone he knew.

Phil giggles, "It's not that bad, besides, you look cute. Now c'mon, I want chicken nuggets!"

Dan smiles and follows Phil outside of his yard, they walk down the pavement talking about space, and how insignificant and small they were in this world. They were both afraid of growing up, and that's something they bonded over.

They arrived at the fast food restaurant, Dan's eyes widened in shock when he laid his eyes on one of his friends, Evan. He could not see him with Phil, especially wearing a pink sweatshirt. He decides to stay quiet, almost completely hiding behind Phil. Evan doesn't notice them and Phil doesn't notice Evan, so far his plan was working.

"Go sit down, I'll order" Phil says and softly pushes Dan towards the tables. Dan nods and finds a table in the back corner. Evan notices him and starts to walk his direction.

Fuck.

"Yooo, Dan! Nice sweater" Evan laughs and slides into the booth.

"Hey! Yeah, I couldn't find anything else to wear." Dan shrugs and begins to panic, what was he going to do?

"Hey Dan, I- oh." Phil says and awkwardly stands beside the table, tray of food in hand, he bites his lip and looks at Dan with eyes of fear

"Hey Phil." Dan looks down

"Wait, you're hanging out with that fag?" Evan says

Dan clenches his fists under the table.

"Wow," Evan shakes his head in disbelief "I never expected that from you. Bye faggots." he says and begins to walk off.

Dan slides out of the booth and grabs Evan by the collar, slamming him against the wall.

"Don't ever say that about him again, ever." Dan says with clenched teeth and pushes him to the ground.

Dan grabs the bag of food, Phil chases after him.

"Dan! Where are you going? What are you doing?" Phil runs up behind him, Dan sighs.

"He was rude to you, and I was a shitty friend not to stand up for you in the first place and I regret that. So I'm gonna make it up to you now. From now on, if anyone makes fun of you tell me, okay?"

Phil sighs, "Dan, you don't have to do this."

"Yeah, but I want to."

Phil wraps his arms around Dan's neck, "Thank you."

Dan smiles like he never has before and puts his arms around Phil,

"Whatever, nerd."
