Chapter XXII - Jovial

[Phil's Family Home, Lancashire, 11:22 am, SU 01/01/17]

CATH: (shaking them awake) "Up you get boys."

DAN: (mumbling, cuddling further into phil) "No, no, no. Just a little more sleep."

CATH: "Are you naked underneath the duvet?"

PHIL: "Mum, what the hell? Let us sleep."

CATH: "I'll take that as a no." (yanks the duvet away from them) "Get up."

DAN: "Cold."

PHIL: "Mum, why?"

CATH: "You need to get up. We're busy today."

PHIL: "No we're not."

CATH: "Weddings in a couple of days. We need to try different cakes today. And I made waffles."

DAN: "I'm so hungover."

CATH: "We have medication in the kitchen." (opens the curtains and turns on the lights) "I told you guys that you were drinking too much."

DAN: "My eyes."

CATH: "I'm sorry hun, but you really need to get up. Come on, seize the new year."

PHIL: "Mum, just give us five more minutes of sleep."

CATH: "I'm not falling for that again, mister. Get up. Martyn's going to finish the waffles. You two better be in the kitchen within twenty minutes otherwise..."

PHIL: "Okay, okay, just get out."

CATH: (mumbling under her breath) "Honestly, no appreciation whatsoever..."

DAN: "Happy new years, I guess."

PHIL: "Two thousand and seventeen."

DAN: "Hopefully a little less shitty."

PHIL: "2016 was not shitty."

DAN: "Yes, it was. Brexit and Trump and--"

PHIL: "Yeah, but other than the political stuff. It was one of the best years of my life."

DAN: "Oh no."

PHIL: "What?"

DAN: "I can sense cheesiness approaching."

PHIL: (laughs) "Fine, I won't say it."

DAN: "No, I was joking. Please say it."

PHIL: "Are you being serious?"

DAN: (pressing his nose against phil's) "What? It's flattering."

PHIL: "I can't believe, all this time you lied--"

DAN: (patience wearing thin, desperately wants to kiss phil but wants him to say it first) "Say it."

PHIL: (enjoying teasing him) "You're supposed to hate sap."

DAN: (whines) "Phil."

PHIL: (mock innocent) "What?"

DAN: "Say it."

PHIL: "Say what?"
