Love knows no gender - Danstickz fanfic

Chapter 2

Chris P.O.V

The interview felt like it went on forever. Boring questions fired one after the other, only for one of us to give an answer that was pointless to everyone. The good thing was, I got to sit next to Dan. It took all of my strength not to grab his hand or even just to shout out to everyone that I was in love with him.

Over all though, the day turned out to be pretty good. We got to meet all the amazing fans and spend the day just chatting to them.

Me and PJ got back to our apartment and he said he was going to take a shower so I went to sit in the living room. I flicked on the TV to see if there was anything interesting to watch. Nothing…..As usual.

Thoughts of Dan flooded into my mind and I was off in my own little world again. I didn’t even realise Peej had walked in and was giving me weird looks.

I looked down as my cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.

“Whatcha thinking about?” He asked rubbing his head with a towel.

“Nothing….” I lied.

“Clearly……Come on, tell me…..” He paused. “It’s a girl isn’t it?”

“Well…Not exactly…” I replied slowly unsure of what he might say.

“Oh my god……It’s….It’s a guy?” His voice was almost a whisper.

I looked up at him, worry obviously showing on my face since he snapped out of his shocked state. I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out, so instead I stood up to run off to my room. I didn’t want to deal with what he had to say to me.

“Chris! Wait…” He grabbed my arm, but I still didn’t look at him.

“Just let me go PJ!” I tried to break free from his grasp but he’s so much stronger than me.

“No, not until we talk…”

“There’s nothing to talk about!” I protested, still struggling.

“Yes there is! Now sit the fuck down!”

I shot him a glare but sat down anyway.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were, you know, gay?” He asked not taking his eyes away from me, making me feel very uncomfortable. I looked around to try and avoid his gaze.

“Because…” I began “Because I thought you would hate me…I didn’t want to lose my friends over it…” This isn’t exactly a subject I enjoy talking about…All I wanted to do was curl up in bed and cry.

“You thought I would hate you?...Chris, I wouldn’t hate you over something like this…Just because you’re gay doesn’t mean you’re not the same person”

I snapped me head up and looked at him a bit confused at his reaction.

“R-Really?”

“Duh! You’re like my brother and brothers don’t hate each other over anything” He smiled. “So who’s this guy you were thinking about then?”

I froze in my seat. “Chris? Chris?” He was waving a hand in front of my face.

“I really can’t tell you…”

“Why not?” He looked a bit hurt that I wouldn’t tell him. Thanks for making me feel guilty Peej…..

“I just can’t ok! He would eventually find out and it would just fuck everything up!” I was on the verge of tears now and he could see it.

“No it won’t…I promise I won’t say a word to anyone…”

I studied his face for a minute, searching for any trace of a lie.

“Fine, but you seriously cannot say anything! It will ruin our friendship…”

“Oh so I know him then? I promise I won’t say anything…”

I sighed and took in a deep breath. Why do I drag myself into these things?

“Dan…I’ve had a crush on Dan for the past year and I’ve somehow managed to keep it a secret…”

PJ’s eyes went wide “D-Dan? But isn’t he straight?”

“Now you see my dilemma!” I stood up and went to my room slamming the door behind me. I heard PJ shouting after me saying I should tell him or something? No way is that ever happening…

Dan’s P.O.V

“Well that wasn’t boring…” I said sarcastically as I opened the door to mine and Phil’s apartment. His response was too chuckled at me. “I’m glad you find me funny Phillip” I smiled earning me another laugh from him.

“You hungry?” He asked digging through the fridge.

“Nah…I think I’m just gonna go straight to bed”

“Ok, night”

“Night”

I walked into my room and quickly got undressed, climbing into bed.

“Night Chris…” I whispered to myself.

I really need to tell him at some point…
