Living In Color ~ PHAN SOULMATE AU

~ Four ~

It's been 3 years since they met that day in Manchester. They have just moved into their new flat in London. Dan and Phil decide to celebrate the move, they are on their way to the art gallery to experience all the colors and art. Dan is more into the black and white paintings because they remind him of his pre-soulmate days which just make him more happy.

After the gallery the couple decides to go for a romantic walk in the park.

"Phil! Race you to the slide!" Dan yells in kiddish voice as he runs down the sidewalk towards the street leading to the park.

"No fair Dan! You got a head- DAN!!!!!!" Phil screams dans name as he sees a red sports car come zooming by on the street. But it was too late. Dan had been hit and he wasn't waking up.

Phil ran as fast as he could, waving for someone to call 999. When he reaches dans unconscious body, he begins to cry.

"Dan, wake up!" He shakes Dan's limp body with no response.

Everything is a blur to Phil after that.

The blaring sirens come closer to him.

Phil can only see colors.

Red.

Blue.

White.

Black.

Phil wakes up in a hospital bed but with nothing attached to him. A nurse comes into the room.

"Hi mr Lester. I'm Angela, you passed out ont he street after your boyfriend was hit. He hasn't woken up yet but you are good to go as long as you are rested up." Phil had to process what had happened. Then it all came back.

The sports car

Dans limp body

The lights

The darkness.

"Where is he?? I need to see him!" He jumps from the bed in a hurry.

"He's over in the next room. Your friends are there with him."

Phil walked out of his room to find Louise, PJ, Chris, Zoe and Alfie all waiting outside. Louise runs up to Phil and pulls him into a huge hug.

"Oh my god Phil! I'm so glad you are okay. How are you?"

"I'm fine. But how's dan?" Louise looks around the room at the others, hesitant.

"He hasn't woken up. The doctors say he has a load of head trauma and they aren't sure how things will be once he wakes up. What's most important right now is keeping him alive. He's in stable condition and recovering super fast but he isn't waking up. Phil, we know you love him so maybe if you go in and talk to him while he's asleep, it might help him." Phil nods and slowly opens the door to Dans room. As he walks in he can see his beautiful Bear, looking so much more peaceful than the last time he saw him. Phil sits down on the side of the bed and rests his hand on dans chest.

"Dan. Please wake up, I don't know if I could go on without you. Ever since I've met you, you've been what has completed me. We are soulmates, I don't know what life would have been like if we never met that one day on the internet. Dan, I love you more than anything. Please wake up." He wipes away the few tears that are falling from his face and he slowly leans in to kiss dan on the cheek. He waits there for a few minutes in silence, just crying. Finally he gets the courage to get up from the bed and face his friends once again.

He exits dans room and Zoe pulls Phil into a light hug.

"Phil, why dot you go down to the cafeteria and get something to eat, you look like a wreck." Zoe smiles slightly.

"Oh well thanks for that Zoe.. I look like a wreck and my boyfriend is in a coma. Yay." Phil smiles his first smile in what seems like forever.

Down in the cafeteria Phil can only think of Dan. Of his smile and his perfect personality. Phil reminisces about it when they first met that day at the train station, when they first kissed on the Manchester Eye and when they finally said I Love You in the snow. Phil smiles, a genuine loving smile. That's when he gets a text from Louise. Phil jumps out of his daydream and quickly checks the message.

Dan's awake. Take your time.

Phil didn't understand. Why should he take his time? He needed to see dan as soon as possible. Phil grabbed his food and ran to the elevator to finally see Dan again after what seems like forever, even though its only been 24 hours.

Meanwhile, dan has woken up except things have taken an unexpected turn in his room.

"You're awake! Dan, how are you? Phil's on his way up!" Zoe exclaimed.

"Oh, uh, okay. Wait, who's Phil? You must be my nurse?" Dan was overwhelmed by everything. He had an excruciating headache and couldn't wait to get some more sleep.

"Uh no, I'm Zoe! One your best friends!" Dan felt so bad that he couldn't even remember one of his best friends.

"Oh I'm so sorry. Uh are you the only one here? Maybe I'll remember my other friends? What about my soulmate? I can see color, where is she?" Zoe froze at the mention of "she". She didn't know what to do or say.

"Well my soulmate Alfie is here with me. And Pj and Chris came, do you remember them? And Louise?" Dan couldn't process all these names but then Pj and Chris burst into the room.

"Oh my god Dan, you scared us to bits! We are just so glad you're awake now. We were just sitting cuddling when we got the call about your accident!" Dan looked dumbfound. His two best friends were gay? What was happening? Dan knew he would never be best friends with two faggots.

"Excuse me.. I don't remember either of you but you're gay?" Chris and Pj looked at each other stunned.

"Uh yeah? Have you met Phil yet? Your soulmate?" Dan couldn't comprehend the situation. Phil must be short for Phillipa or something like that.

That's when Phil opened the door to the room. Now the room was filled with people. Louise came running in afterwards because she was trying to stall Phil after what she heard about Dan.

"Dan, oh my god, I'm so glad you're awake. I don't what I would have done without you." Phil leaned in for a hug but was rejected.

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Dan thought this might be Alfie, Zoe's soulmate.

"I'm Phil, your soulmate, don't you remember me?"

"No, it can't be, I'm not gay, you can't be my soulmate. I'm sorry."

Thats when things got crazy in the hospital room. Dan started freaking out and Phil got a sudden headache and fell to the floor. A nurse came to help him onto a nearby bed and Phil fell into a deep sleep.

"Zoe, right? Um, I can't see color." Dan stated.
