Say You Won't Let Go ~ Phan Songfic

I knew I loved you then

I knew I loved you then

But you'd never know

'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go

I know I needed you

But I never showed

But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old

Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go

I ducked into one of the rooms and hoped she'd come back. Darcy was being especially hard to catch today, but I knew I had to suck it up and help Louise out. It was the least I could do to help out while I stayed there for the holidays. Just while my brother was at my apartment. Our parents were in India, neither of us wanted to go, and much to our annoyance our parents insisted we stayed together. He wasn't a child anymore, twenty is surely old enough to stay at home by himself. We'd fought so much in the short time he'd been staying with me, so in typical Dan fashion I ran away from my problems by living with Louise. My brother could have the time of his life, ruin my apartment, have parties, and bring back as many random girls from random clubs as he wants. My brother, and my family, for that matter, weren't too accepting of me, I hadn't come out to them yet, but I could tell they knew with their constant pestering that they love me but they just want me to settle down with a girl. I'd rather just stay with Louise, where I could happily be myself and Phil could come over as much as he wanted. He'd been over quite a few times but hadn't asked why I wasn't at home yet - which I appreciated. He and Louise got along great too, he brung her Nutella cookies and she constantly told me to invite him over, which she insisted was not just for the cookies. One of the conditions while I stayed there was the help out with Darcy, tonight I had to help with bathtime.

"How's it going up there?" Louise called from making dinner downstairs.

"Great," I yelled back, diving after Darcy as she darted past me, I hooked my arms around her waist as she screamed and giggled, thinking it was a game. I carted her into the bathroom and placed her in the tub. The addition of bubbles that night was helping to stop her usual screaming, making bathtime fun and enjoyable. For her. As I rubbed the shampoo into her hair, I heard my phone buzz on the floor next to me. I quickly wiped my hand on a towel and answered without any hesitation when I saw Phil's name flash up on the screen.

"Hello," I said as I put him on speaker so I could continue to clean Darcy's hair. She screamed as I pour water down her hair.

"I didn't know you screamed like a girl Dan," I smiled despite the insult, because as cheesy as it sounded, I had missed his voice. God, it's only been two days since I last saw him. What have I become?

"That's Darcy," and as if on cue she screamed again, splashing bubbles into my face.

"Hi, Darcy," he said in the cute voice he used when he talked to her. It made my heart jump into my chest and long for something more with him.

"Hiii," she said back excitedly. She could recognise his voice after meeting him a few times. She'd really taken a liking to him, maybe because he was always so happy to play with her. The other week I had watched them playing with toys on the rug. He smiled over at me and Louise hit me in the shoulder when she saw the blush on my cheeks. He'd be good with kids. Not that I've thought about that a lot or anything.

"What are you up tonight?" I used a cup to wash the last of the suds out of Darcy's hair and dry my hands off while I thought. I mean I had been planning to watch the latest Game of Thrones, but anything with Phil was better than that.
