Ch. 27

[Phil POV]

Hearing the words escape his mouth, I instantly pull the young boy closer. I soon feel something warm on my shoulder, realising he was crying when I heard a wracked sob leave his lips. I pull him closer, if that's even possible, whispering reassuring words in his ear.

"P-promise me th-that you're n-not a set-up. N-not like them." He cries into my shoulder as I run my fingers through his dark tufts of hair.

"Dan, I would never ever do something like that to you. I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing I did something like that."

"But I deserve it. I'm so worthless and ugly and f-"

"Daniel no. All of those comments are lies. You're not worthless, despite what your father has said to you. Don't listen to him, he's just a twat, just like anyone else who has said the same thing. You are far, so far from worthless. I wouldn't be overly happy around someone who's worthless. I wouldn't race to hospital for someone who's worthless. Although no one is worthless, you, Dan, are the only person who has made me truly happy within days." I place a small kiss onto Dan's hair.

"You are not fat. You are not super skinny either, which is a good thing. You are a good weight Dan, but weight doesn't matter, it's what's on the inside that counts." I lay a gentle kiss on his soft cheek.

"And you, mister Daniel Howell, are so far from ugly it's not even okay," Dan shifts his head to look at me as I stare into his perfectly sad, hazelnut eyes. I run the pad of my thumb up and down his cheekbone, holding his face as he leans into the contact. "You are probably -- no, definitely -- the most beautiful human I have laid eyes upon." I rest my forehead upon his own, our noses touching. "And I highly doubt that will change."

"If I'm the most beautiful, what are you?"

"I'm so far from beautiful. I'm definitely on the ugly side of the scale."

"Uh, Phil, you're much prettier than me," I don't want to argue and upset him anymore.

"Whatever you say, Danny." I see a small smile tug at his lips as he blushes much more than he was earlier.

"Love Eyes Lester for sure." I hear a familiar voice say as I snap my head over to the pair of doctors.

"Ebony? Josie? What are you up to?"

"Well we were trying to SECRETLY name the googly eyes you two were giving eachother but SOMEONE decided to say it really loudly," Ebony gestures to Josie as she hides her face in her jacket.

"Okay, but why was there a need to name it?" Dan speaks.

"I don't know," Josie mumbles. "It just seemed really cute, and we came up with Heart Eyes Howell and Love Eyes Lester."

"Okay," I begin laughing. "That works so well I'm not even mad."We all begin laughing for around a minute until Josie speaks again.

"Uh so can we do our mandatory check up on Dan?"

"Go ahead." I move slightly over, letting them do whatever they need to do.

"Uh, Josie? How long do I need to stay?"

"At least a week or two, just to make sure you're recovering fine."

"Okay, but can Phil stay with me the time I'm here?"

"We'll check with Doctor Drage, the head of this department, but I don't see a problem."

"Okay, thanks guys!"

"No problem, see you lovebirds later." They leave the room together, leaving just the two of us in the room. I soon hear the door creak open once again.

"Sorry I wasn't gone too long, but someone's here to see you, Dan." An average sized man walked in the room in a police officer uniform.

"Dan Howell, right?"

"Y-yeah?" He replies, voice shaking in fear as I pull him closer.

"Dan it's okay, I'm not here to hurt you."

"O-okay."

"I just wanted to let you know that your father has been arrested. We've relocated you to an orphanage in Manchester once you're well enough to leave the hospital."

YOYO HOMIEEE

Um...

Hello..?

I'm healthy again (yay!).

But I have a little story!

So today my brother was brainstorming for his story and as a joke I said "Yo you should make one of your characters gay." and he replied with "Okay, I'll make you marry Josie." and I started laughing saying "Oh okay then" and then he replies with "even though that relationship would only consist of you two swearing at eachother, just like you do now." What a lad

Anyway baiiiii :P
