You Are My Umbrella (Phan)

Chapter 1

Dan is confused. He goes through life in a blur. He does the same thing every day. Wake up, eat, tumblr, eat, sleep. He doesn't have any friends. He can't find a job because he's too awkward to go outside. And he lives with his parents. Plus he has to take pills for his depression. He doesn't feel like anything will ever get better.

One fateful day, Dan's mum was yelling at him to get out of the house. "All you do is sit around on your laptop. Go to the park, make some friends, or even get a job. I don't care as long as you get out of this house. I don't want you back until supper."

In attempt to make his mum happy, he decided to go to Nando's. He sat down alone at a table after ordering chicken. Once he got his lunch, he slowly started eating. He pulled out his phone only to realize that it was on one percent. He didn't have a charger and his mom would probably kill him if he went back home, so he would just have to live without the internet. (I couldn't survive without the internet.)

When he was about halfway done with his food, he saw a pale skinned, raven haired boy walk through the door. He was instantly mesmerized. While the boy was ordering, Dan couldn't take his eyes off the boy. He was terrified when this beautiful human was walking toward him.

"You okay?" The boy's voice was as angelic as his face. After a moment of silence, the boy said,"Are you deaf?"

"What, um, yes, I mean, no... Hi?" Dan mumbled awkwardly.

"Hi, my name is Phil. I figured if I talked to you, you would stop staring at me."

"Oh, sorry about that. My name is Daniel, I mean, Dan."

"Nice name. Can I eat with you?"

Dan just nodded, as he was surprised that someone wanted to eat with him.

"So, what city do you live in?" Phil asked, trying to break the slightly uncomfortable silence.

"Um, London." Dan said biting his lip.

"Cool, me too."

They talked for hours not worrying about the time. They stayed well after they finished their meals talking about everything from family to University. Eventually, one of the workers informed them that the restaurant was closing soon. After paying, they walked outside. After saying bye, Phil said, "Hey Dan, can I have your number?"

Phil handed Dan his phone and smiled as Dan put in his number.

"Text me when you get home safely." Dan said.

When Dan got home his mother was waiting for him. "Where were you?" Dan explained everything that had happened that night and was hopeful that Phil would be his friend and maybe even more than that. When Dan plugged his phone into his charger, he immediately got a notification.

Phil: I got home safely. 😉

Dan blushed at the fact that Phil had used a winky face.

Dan: Me too. 😉
