Phil's POV
~<°>~
Now that I have my apartment to myself for the first time, it feels empty. I arrived here with Dan and I was already feeling at home, and once he left and I could actually start settling down, it just doesn't feel as warm and welcoming. Barren.
And it'd only be 15 minutes since he'd left.
Without a second thought, I grab my phone and flick him a text. I don't care if he thinks I'm clingy. I'm just really bored and have nothing else to do. Well, I could unpack everything I guess... But texting Dan seems way more appealing.

Got home safe, baby?
It wasn't until after I sent the text did I realise what I'd done.
Baby? BABY?! Shit. I didn't mean it like that, I meant it as referring to him as an incapable baby that needed taken care of as a joke, not referring him as MY baby. Ok, you can fix this Phil, come on.

Wow, nice Phil. You're so smooth, I sarcastically chastise myself. Luckily, I can find humour in the situation and make fun off myself for my mistake. It's no big deal. I'm sure he'll understand I didn't mean it in that way.
My pounding heart freezes for a second as the buzz of my phone shocks my system. I don't know why, but I wasn't expecting a reply. After I'd had my little moment of delay, I scramble to unlock my phone and read the message that had popped up.

HAHAHAHAHA wow, Phil. Slow down there we just met. My laptop wont approve of you calling me baby this soon in our relationship ;)
I smile to myself at his reply, happy that he can make a joke out of it as well and not make it awkward. I appreciate people with good sense's' of humor.
I quickly change Dans' contact name to due to how funny I find the situation. Taking the piss is just something that comes naturally to me, even if it's at my expense.

Do I need to ask you're laptop for approval? Or is it just jealous?
What even are Dan and I's conversations? Sure, they're weird as heck, but to be honest, I like that about us. We can take serious or awkward situations and make them funny and weird. I've only just met the guy and we already have running inside jokes. But, I guess that's just a sign of a good friendship.

Jealous that I spent 6 hours with you and only 5 hours with it today.
