'What the fuck?' Cat exclaimed as Dan walked into the living room completely shirtless, 'Could you and Doctor Lester maybe have an actual, proper doctor's appointment for once in your sex-obsessed lives?' Cat was screaming now, and Dan shot her a puzzled look, unsure of what she was referring to. Dan soon realised that staring perplexedly at Cat probably wasn't the best decision, as her eyes clouded with anger and her indignant expression was replaced by one of incredulous rage.
'There's bruises on your hips, on your neck, on your chest! You're both such sluts!' Cat's voice became impossibly louder, and her cheeks and the bridge of her nose began to take on a slightly red tinge.

Disbelief briefly twisted Dan's features, but he recovered quickly.
'Sluts?' Dan asked, his voice barely a whisper, but he shook with rage. Okay, Phil may have called him a slut only a couple days ago, but he was only teasing. Cat, however, meant it. She said it with such conviction that Dan wanted nothing more than to slap some sense into her.
'We're not fucking sluts! We're two adults engaged in an adult relationship. Sorry that you're too fucking immature to understand that!' Dan's face had begun to turn red as well, and his eyes were darkening with rage.

Cat looked quite taken aback. She hadn't expected Dan to scream right back at her. She hadn't expected Dan to answer at all, in fact. Yet here they both were, caught in a chaotic screaming match.
'Dan,' she said quietly, once Dan had fallen silent, 'I-I'm sorry,'
'Cat no-'
'Dan, I love you,' Cat whispered, 'I love you, a-and I'm jealous. I'm jealous that you're so obviously happy with Doctor Lester. That twice a week you practically skip home, decorated with bruises that she's pressed into your skin, or with marks she's bitten lovingly into your neck, or-'
'Cat,'
'Yes, Dan,' Cat was confused. Why wasn't Dan shocked into silence? Why was he looking at her in strange confusion instead of wonder.
'Y-you said she,' Dan started.
'Yes, Dan. D-doctor Lester, I was talking about her.'
'Cat,' Dan said again, refusing to make eye contact, 'Cat, Doctor Lester... Doctor Lester is a he,'

Utter disbelief was the first expression that crossed Cat's face, followed by confusion, followed by slow understanding.
'Y-you're,' Cat started, staring wide-eyed at Dan, 'You're gay?'
'Um, yes...' The awkwardness of the situation was stifling, and Dan felt as if he was in desperate need of fresh air. So, he turned and left Cat in the living room, still staring at the space he occupied a few seconds ago. He grabbed his phone and a jumper before heading out.

He welcomed the fresh air outside like a comforting embrace and revelled in the way that the wind would gently ruffle his hair. He then pulled out his phone, deciding to drop Phil a quick text. The events of the past ten minutes were too overwhelming for him to deal with himself, and so he decided burdening Phil with his problems would make him feel better.
Dan: i have a small problem... you free for coffee? Xx
Mere minutes later, he received a reply.
Phil: sure, meet u at starbucks in 10?
Dan: sounds great xx
