Dan fidgeted with the sleeves of his jacket as he waited for Phil to pull up to the house. The cool November air tinted his cheeks. His feet started to get cold. He jogged in place to keep them warm.
Phil pulled up in his car and rolled down the window. "Get in loser, we're going shopping." He joked. The passenger side was swung open and Dan hopped into the car. The interior was filled with stacks upon stacks of CDs and records.
"A music lover, are you?" Chuckled Dan, picking up a discarded disc from the floor. Phil laughed.
"Nah, it's my brother's car. His name's Martyn. He's really into producing music, so he makes songs with his friends and stuff then uses stuff like this for reference or whatever." Phil put his foot on the gas and they were on their way. Dan inserted the CD he had found into the car's player. The sound of Erasure filled the car.
"Hey I love this song!" They said in unison. They looked at each other and laughed.
"When it's cold outside! Am I here in vain?!" They sang together, completely off key, but not caring at all. When the song had finished, Dan turned to Phil.
"Where are we going anyway?" He asked.
"There's a diner that has really good milkshakes. It's a cute place. Very retro and 50s." Phil turned the steering wheel and pulled into the parking lot. They got out of the car and started to walk into the restaurant. Phil grabbed Dan's hand. Dan froze and his face flushed red. For a moment, Phil was going to pull away, but Dan interlocked his fingers with his and Phil reassured him with a squeeze.
A/N the song may change, but for now it's Always by Erasure
