A/N: WELCOME. This is from my creative writing class! It was a project done all throughout the month of November. National Novel Writing month was the best month. ANYWAYS ENJOY THIS PLEASE (this is the first thing I'm actually proud of.)
----------------------
    Dan was always comfortable with his sexuality but when it came to telling his best friend, it was a different story. The reason why Dan was so afraid to tell Phil was because he was in love with him. Every night Dan would lock himself in his room and think about the life him and Phil would have together if he ever told him and he would fall asleep heartbroken because he thought it would never happen.
Phil had always known there was something off about Dan. He knew there was something he was hiding and all he wanted to do was get him to say it. He noticed that every time they would make eye contact Dan would turn a light shade of red and how there would never be any space between them when they sat on a sofa that wasn't their own. Phil knew that the first time they Skyped that he like Dan but was too afraid to say anything. He didn't want anything to be awkward between them if didn't feel the same way.
They were both sitting on their laptops one day when Dan decided that he needed to get the weight of that secret off his chest. He looked at Phil who was very focused on the email that he was typing, "Hey Phil, there's something that I've been wanting to tell you." His British accent flooded through the quiet room.
"Yeah. What is it?" Phil looked at him with hopeful eyes as his slightly deeper voice echoed through the house.
"I dropped a wine bottle on the kitchen floor and cracked a tile." He wimped out at the lost minute and actually told Phil something that happened the night before while he was asleep.
"That's the third tile that you have broken. The landlord is going to find out soon and we're going to get kicked out." Phil rolled his eyes at the younger boy.
"I know. I just wanted to tell you before you saw it and get angry with me." Dan placed his hand lightly on the cushion that was between the two boys.
"I actually saw it this morning but I hadn't gotten the chance to ask you about it yet." Phil continued typing on his computer.
Dan smiled slightly at Phil with a slight pink tint to his cheeks before he realized Phil was looking the whole time. Once Phil realized that he had noticed him staring he quickly averted his eyes and went on to finish the email he was typing.

A/N So that's the first chapter. Again let me know what you think! Also I literally spent like 20 mins last night making the cover. Every app I tried kept either freezing or crashing so I ended up sticking with piccollage.
