Two Brothers (Dan and Adrian Howell FanFic)

Chapter 3- The First Day

I wake up and my alarm clock is going off. 8am. So early but I have to get up. I go downstairs and into the bathroom where I have my shower. I wrap a towel around me and walk back to my room. I look in several boxes and pick out my old Green Day, American Idiot top, a pair of black jeans, and my dark blue ankle high converses. I go down to the kitchen and get myself some Lucky Charms for breakfast. I turn the tv on and watch a Doctor Who rerun of season 10 while I finish my cereal.

I'm half way through the episode when Phil walks through. 

"Morning Phil," I say as he walks through to the kitchen.

"Morning. Do you want a coffee?" Phil asked sounding half zombie.

"No thanks, I don't drink coffee," I replied.

"Ok," Phil said to tired to ask why.

Phil comes and joins me watching Doctor Who. I started thinking about Phil and thought it felt werid sometimes because Phil was 30 and I was 18. That's a 12 year age gap and yet he felt like a brother to me and I would talk to him like he was my age. I snapped out of my thoughts when the episode ends and Phil starts clapping, I look at Phil, he is definitely more awake.

"So how are you getting to school?" Phil asked out of the blue.

"Oh, um, by the tube I guess."

"Can I see your card. I like seeing the different cards."

"I don't have one."

"What, how can you not have an oyster card?"

"I've never needed one."

"Well then Dan and I can take you on the tube."

"Ok."

"But don't go on your first day."

"What, why?

"The tube will be packed. Go on it tomorrow."

"Well then how do I get to school."

"I'll drive you."

"When did you get a car, Phil."

"Last year."

"Oh, ok then."

"When do you need to go?"

"Is 10:30 good."

"Yeah, I should go get ready."

"Ok. Hey, Phil."

"Yeah."

"Can I use your straightener, mine's still in a box."

"Sure, it's on my bedside table." 

"Thanks Phil," I thanked as I walked into Phil's room.

I opened the door and saw Rose sitting on a chair tying up her shoe lases. I slowly walked back out trying not to make a noise. I didn't want her to think I was watching her get dressed. I was just about home free when I felt a sneeze coming. 'No, No, No' I told myself but it was to late, I was sneezing. Rose jumped in her seat and looked at me with a startled look on her face which lighten up when she saw it was me.

"Hey Adrian. Do you need something?" Rose asked kindly.

"Uh, yeah, just Phil's straightener."

"Oh, sure, go ahead."

I sat down on Phil's bed and to my surprise the straightener was on, so I started straightening my hobbit hair. I was looking away from Rose but I could tell she was looking at me.

"Um, sorry for startling you before, I didn't know you were staying the night," I apologized.

"Oh its fine, and Phil and I decided I should move in because we are getting married after all."
