Beautiful

Chapter 11

Phil's POV:

I couldn't believe it. He was awake. We both blushed as we realized my arms were still on his chest and back, but he just repositioned them and held my hands.

"Are you ok? How do you feel? Do you need anything? Are you mad?" I loaded him with questions as I placed my hand on his forehead and heart.

"Phil, Phil, relax," he chuckled. "Yes, I'm ok. I'm not mad at you."

"Oh good, I'm so relieved."

"So...Phil?"

"Yes, Dan?"

"I...need to know, are you really in love with me?"

Dan's POV:

He looked away for a moment at my bedsheets. So he really was here. He was holding me and supporting me the whole time. Oh Phil. He looked me dead in the eyes and kissed me. It's like the dream hadn't ended. Our first kiss in real life.

"Guess you did hear me, huh? Yes," he admitted, his eyes closed and his head down. "I get it if you aren't."

"Phil."

"And I get it if you hate me-"

"Phil?"

"And I don't want you to go but if it's what you think you should do then-"

I stopped him with another kiss. "I'm not going anywhere."

"You're in love with me also?"

"Phil trust me, I've loved you way longer than you think. All those times we watched movies together in each other's bedrooms I just wanted to-mmm," I squinted. "It was so tempting sometimes you don't understand."

"Oh. I wish I'd known."

"It's good you didn't. You didn't like like me then."

"I could've given it a try."

"But your feelings are way more genuine at this point."

He conceded. "True."

"And Phil? I'm sorry about making you worry."

"It wasn't your fault. You couldn't leave your dream."

"Well, I could for a little bit, but, um, I didn't because...you were nice again and...uh...heh...it's kind of embarrassing to admit."

"What happened?" he smirked.

"Philip Michael..." I blushed.

"Just tell me! I'll be fine."

"We held hands in blue flowers and placed them in each other's ears."

"And?" he smirked again.

"I held your hand."

"And?"

"Our heads touched."

"And?"

"We were looking at clouds. Although I was mostly looking at you. You were so beautiful there. You're beautiful regardless, but you would've loved it."

He seemed sad for a moment.

"Dan, in all seriousness, I do apologize. I'll never let this happen to you again. I don't deserve the way you're treating me. Or you in general."

"We were both at fault. It's fine now. Come on, let's go get ready for the party."

"You sure you still wanna go? After all this, I wouldn't mind if you felt like canceling."

"I can make it."

"Darn I was kind of hoping you'd want to cancel so we could snuggle."

"I'm sorry what was that?"

"So we could snundle...our blankets...for...laundry?"

"That's not even a word, silly. Believe me there is nothing I would rather do than be here right now with you, but-"

"Then stay!"

"But Phil they're our friends-"

"I'll be your boyfriend if you stay," he said hopefully.

I shot him a disappointed look.

"I'm sorry! I'd be your boyfriend anyway, honest! Will you? Be my boyfriend? Please?!" He hugged me violently. I couldn't contain the laughter.

"All right calm down yes I'll be your boyfriend! I'm surprised I'm not asking you."

"Dan don't get me worked up like that!"

"You did it to yourself."

"I hate you," he pouted.

"Do you? Do you really?"

"No..."

We went to our own rooms and changed into some appropriate clothes. At least it was a formal party, so that meant I got to see Phil in a suit. We stepped out of our rooms at the same time and woah. Now that we were dating, I couldn't take my eyes off Phil in his suit and tie. His blue eyes were the perfect compliment to his outfit.

Phil's POV:

Wow, Dan looked good. It was evident we were checking each other out, but we were a new couple so...give us a break, ok?

"You look...sorry, I'm at a loss for words," I mumbled.

"I'm flattered," he said. "You look nice too. More than nice. Lovely."

My cheeks turned red instantly. "Shall we?"

He nodded. "Wait. At Felix's, we probably don't want to reveal anything yet."

"I know, Dan. It's ok."

"But Philly-"

"It's just temporary."

He rolled his eyes and pulled me in. "I just wanted to kiss you one last time before we left."

"O-Oh. Wh-Why didn't you just say that?"

"You're so shy, it's adorable. All righty come on. Stop blushing. Our cover is gonna get blown real quick if you keep that up."

I gave him a playful punch and he laughed. I could never get enough of that joyful sounding laugh, especially when it was directed at me.
