"Ah, don't touch that." Phil said worriedly. He walked over to Dan, who sat on the table next to the many cables connected to the microphones. "They get mad whenever I clumsily trip over them."

Dan snickered and let go of one of the cables. "You would trip over them."

Phil grinned at him and returned to his computer and began to list what songs they were going to play. Behind him, the boy began to text, and all the sudden, he heard a picture snapping. Phil turned around and raised an eyebrow.

"Are you taking pictures of my bum?"

"Possibly, but it could have been a selfie. I'll never reveal."

They both laughed as Phil finished his list. He turned around to look at Dan and smiled. It was almost natural for them to be together like this. They were both comfortable with each other, like they were supposed to be together. Dan grinned at him, his dimples popping out, and he started to swing his legs.

"So, where's Daniel?" He asked, looking around.

Phil shrugged. "We usually don't see each other when I'm up here. Only on lunch break, and in the morning. Sometimes he'll come up here to deliver things."

Dan nodded. "What does he do?"

"Uh, I think he works on the website. I have no idea." He laughed.

"When do you go on air?"

Phil checked his watch. "Not for another twenty minutes. The morning crew is finishing up. Also, a few others might be joining. Just act like you're here for a reason."

"Well, I'm here to give you moral support, even though you've been doing this for more than a year now." Dan told him.

As Phil said, others began joining in the room and sat in stools with headphones on. When Phil went on air, a woman started out naming the top song of this week. Phil then began talking about any current celebrity news. He seemed so happy with his job, Dan was happy for him. Phil had a perfect life, he had a good job, he had his own place, and he was happy. Dan wished that he could be like him one day, just a small glimpse of what Phil had.

"And we'll see you guys after the next few songs." Phil happily said into the microphone. The music then began to fade in and they were off air. "That was good, guys."

Dan grinned at the man from the table. He watched as the others got up from the chair. Some announced they were going to get something as a few stayed in the room. Phil turned around to face Dan.

"What do you think?" He asked.

The boy began to rub his chin. "Well, it's different than I thought."

Phil laughed and began to stretch. "You don't listen to the radio, do you?"

"Not even the slightest."

"Hey, Phil!" A voice yelled through the room. From the door, a tall man with papers in his hands stood. He had brown hair that was styled on his head, slight stubble covering his cheeks, and his eyes crinkled at the sight of Phil.

Dan felt a tinge of jealousy at the man. He didn't want anyone to look at Phil the same way he did. The boy frowned when the man began walking towards Phil, his smile only getting wider. Phil smiled back at him, causing Dan to bite the inside of his cheek. Who was this man?

"I have more reviews for you guys." He told Phil, handing the papers over. "Anyways, do you want to get lunch today?"

Phil shook his head and looked over at the boy. "No, I'm with Dan. He's visiting me at work."

The man nodded. "So, is he your-"

"Yes." Phil interrupted him, with a small laugh.

Dan raised an eyebrow at him and looked at the man. He didn't look at Dan, and it felt as if it were on purpose. The air felt tense with him and this man. Was it the same Daniel that Phil was talking about? The one that obviously had feelings for him?

"Oh," Phil looked over at Dan. "This is Daniel."

Dan nodded and gave him a forced smile. He looked over at Daniel and stuck out his hand."Oh, so he's the other Daniel. Hi, I'm the first Daniel."

The man took a hold of Dan's hand tightly and gave him a forced smile. "Nice to meet you, I've heard a lot about you. I didn't think you'd be so young looking."

"Well, I am in uni." Dan barked back.

Daniel let go of his hand and turned to Phil with a smile. "Well, I'll see you around. Text me, later?"

Phil nodded. "Yeah, later."

He didn't know why, but Dan was furious as he stared at Daniel leaving the room. Phil was talking to him, but he wasn't listening. He was too busy looking at the man, who threatened his friendship with Phil. The boy bit the inside of his cheek and turned back to Phil and nodded with a smile.
