opening his eyes slowly, Kyle stretched as he awoke. Once again, he had slept in Dan's bed with him.
He loved the feeling of waking up with the person he loves In his arms. But it also scared him, what if Dan actually didn't like him back?
He got up carefully, making sure he didn't wake Dan or anyone else for that matter.
He effortlessly pulled on some jeans and someone's stray T-shirt; it was slightly creased but he didn't care, he would get dressed properly later.
He was surprised at how quiet the bus was, the only sound was the engine rumbling and the faint noises of the radio coming from the driver.
Walking into the kitchen area, he grabbed a banana from the fruit bowl and a bottle of water. He quite liked the thought of being alone on the bus. It was peaceful. He hadn't even checked the time but he presumed it was quite early because the sun was only just rising. Dan loves sunrises.
He stayed in the kitchen, leaned against the kitchen counter. He started to think of things he hasn't thought of till now.
He's gay? since when does Kyle Simmons like men? What would happen if he was in a relationship with Dan and then they broke up? what if management don't approve?
His trail of thoughts was finally cut off when he saw Will come down the stairs.
'hey mate, how's things holdin' up with you and Dan?'
'uhh nothings really going on. I haven't told him how I feel yet. I just..' he started to sound really panicky.
'Kyle you're seriously overthinking it! Don't think about it too much, the right moment will come.'
'it's easy for you to say, He's one of my bestfriends Will...' There was a short silence. 'How do you even tell someone you like them?'
before Will could say anything, Dan walked down the stairs.
'Hey guys what we talkin' about' he sounded sleepy and adorable.
'oh nothing, i'm gonna go jump in the shower before Woody does' Will quickly paced out the room.
'So..who do you like then? sounds like your having some trouble telling them?' Dan sounded sad but he smiled anyway.
'Wait...y-you heard all that?' Kyle felt the embarrasment creeping up his neck.
'Only the part where you were asking Will how to tell someone you like them. Come on mate, you can tell me' Dan grabbed a waterbottle and casually started to drink it. 'I can give you some advice if you want'
'You...advice? Dan, when was the last time you were in a relationship again?' Kyle started to laugh.
'Hey! Shut up! do you want my advice or not?!'
'Fine, what you got then?'
'umm..I don't know maybe try and tell them that you think they're nice?'
'Wow. the fact that you started that sentence with 'I don't know' proves a lot doesn't it.' Kyle chuckled and Dan started to go red.
'Yeah okay I get it, i'm shit with realtionships...flirting...people in general. But im being serious with the complimenting thing. Just tell them that you think their eyes are really pretty or their hair is really nice, or something along those lines.'
'So your telling me that if someone told you your hair is really nice then you would think they like you?' Kyle couldn't help but laugh 'Dan mate, people compliment your hair every day! What if like...I dunno...Sophie complimetned your hair one day?'
'Yeah but if it was someone like Sophie I would know she obviously doesn't like me...Sophie knows who I like anyway.' Dan realised what he'd said straight away and stood there in shock slightly.
'Awwwww Dannnyyy who's your Crush mate?'
'No one it doesn't matter.' Dan awkwardly laughed. 'you haven't even told me who you like so why should i tell you who I like.'
'Fine, that's fair. So anyway, your trying to say that if I told someone I think their eyes are really pretty, with lots of meaning, then that means I like them?'
'Well if it's someone you actually like then I suppose you wouldnt have to try to put meaning into it, it would already be there.'
'I guess...but you do realise that's basically flirting.' Kyle said now laughing again.
'Shut up Kyle! Let me feel clever for once! This has more meaning than flirting.'
'Okay what ever you say' Kyle held up his hands in defence trying not to laugh anymore. 'I think Will is out the shower now so i'm gonna go in.'
'Alright dude.' Kyle started to walk away leaving Dan sipping on his water.
'Oh and Dan?' Dan looked up, with the bottle still in his mouth, at Kyle who was standing in the doorway. 'I think your eyes are really pretty.'
And before Dan could say Kyle was gone.
