EYES [a Phanfic]

day.

Phil tries to lighten the mood.

"Want to watch some anime? Maybe go out for breakfast?"

I won't make eye contact with him, I can't help but feel like his eyes will hurt me.

My body starts to shake.

"Dan?"

I can feel his eyes watching me.

"Dan?!"

It... burns...

"DAN!!"

I snap out of it.

Phil is clenched onto my wrist, and I look up to see his eyes.

They look... different.

They're soft and glistening, they don't sting. They don't hurt my skin. They... heal me. They feel soft and soothing in my chest and my head.

And for a moment, the silence stops.

I can hear a faint ocean wave.

Suddenly, I find myself latched onto Phil, in an embrace.

He softly hugs back.

"It's ok, Dan, just try to forget about it"

His words are as soothing as his eyes, they don't burn.

Phil changes the subject.

"Want to see if Louise wants to come over for breakfast?" Phil suggests

I sigh, I feel a lot less stressed.

"Yeah, that sounds like a fun idea" I said, with a smile.

Phil smiles back and goes into the other room to call her.

I take out my phone and sigh.

Not a good start to a day.

I turn my phone on and I see a reminder.

"[Sims 4 today!!!]"

Phil and I need to film a sims let's play today!!

"Phil, we're supposed to film a Dil video today"

"Ok!!" He responds.

I listen to what he's saying on the phone.

It's something along the lines of: "Heyo, Louise! Dan and I wanted to see if you were up for breakfast this morning? ... alright great! ... well, no.. Dan isn't having the best day today, so maybe take it easy on him? ... thanks, you're the best. ... alright, see you in a few!"

I pretend to scroll through twitter.

"Louise will be here in 15!"

"Oh, ok!!"

I get up and stumble to my room, and rush to my closet.

I shuffle through my array of black clothing and settle on a moth shirt and black jeans.

I jump into the clothing as fast as I can, and run to the bathroom.

I spray deodorant all over myself and quickly grab the hair straightener.

I felt that all too familiar feeling of a burn on my hand as I grabbed the top of it, not the base.

I wince, but shake it off and straighten out my "Hobbit hair"

I hear a knock at the front door.

Louise!

"I'll get it!" Phil replies to the knock.

I run out to see her.

She's already greeting Phil.

"Dan!" She says to me.

I accidentally gaze to her eyes.

I wince, thinking they would sting, but they only are cool. Not quite cold, but like a cool breeze.

She smiles and breaks the silence.

"How are you?"

"I'm good" I awkward reply.

Phil checks his watch and looks a bit jumpy.

"Come on guys!" He blurts. "We should go"

"Ok, Dan, you have everything?" Louise asks.

I just remember, I forgot to grab my ear buds.

I smack my own face "oh, I forgot my headphones in my room, I'll be right back" I say.

Phil nods.

I book it to my room and grab my black and grey headphones.

I look up at the mirror, and for a split second, I see those big, bright, blue, stinging eyes.

I ignore it.

I walk back to my friends and strife out the door.

"To breakfast!" Louise states, in a victorious voice

"To breakfast!!" Phil echos.

Both of their eyes are happy and delightful, so I mimic those feelings.

"To breakfast!!"
