A/N: Sorry this is a bit late, in all honestly im just lazy lmao. This chapter is more of a filler than a real chapter.

I've also decided to continue my other fic, "Write" so you should check that out if ya want, it's quite different from this story.

PLEASE READ: I'm posting a character q&a thing directly after this chapter, so please check it out!!

Phil's POV//one week later

"Oh yeah, I've been meaning to ask, how did lunch with your mum go, Phil?" Val asked, twirling a strand of her (now bubblegum pink) hair around her finger.

Dan and I had been spending a lot of time at our friends' house lately. We usually visited with the intention of studying for our big end-of-year tests, but instead ended up talking for hours.

"It was nice," I began, running my hand through Dan's soft hair—he had a tendency of laying down across my legs whenever he could, "It was a bit weird though, it didn't seem like my Mum, more like some distant relative I only see every year or so. She was pretty upset I wouldn't move with her, but she understood my motives for staying."

"Th-th-at's good. That s-she understands, I mean," Alec smiled, brushing a curly strand of sand colored hair away from his eyes.

"Yeah," Dan agreed, "couldn't have my boyfriend running away to America, now could I?"

I laughed, swatting away Dan's hands as he tried to pinch my cheek.

"Uhg, you guys are disgusting," Val complained, shooting us a glare.

Dan rolled his eyes, a smirk forming on his lips. "Oh honey," he began in a horrible accent, "you ain't seen nothing yet," With that, he sat up and pulled me into a kiss.

I did my best not to laugh as Dan over-dramatically ran his hands through my hair, adding some rather repulsive kissing noises for good measure.

"Dear lord, get a room!" Val groaned, throwing a pillow at us.

Alec looked away, blushing slightly.

Dan finally laid back down, but not before pressing another kiss to my cheek.

I cast a cheeky glance down at Dan, "We'll continue that later, okay, babe?"

Dan smirked, winking up at me. "Oh, definitely..."

"Okay, that's it," Val stood up, "I want snacks and I'm sure as hell not leaving you two alone, especially not in front of my baby brother.

Alec looked down at his hands awkwardly, his face flushed.

Despite Dan's protests, Val managed to drag him off the bed. "Come on Dan, help me take the cupcakes out of the oven."

The two of them receded down the stairs, leaving Alec and I by ourselves.

I liked Alec. Although he was rather quiet and seemingly innocent, I had a theory he hid a universe of thoughts behind those light grey eyes of his.

"You're so lucky to be with someone that l-loves you that much..." He muttered, staring down at his hands. Although he seemed rather cheery, something about the way he was sitting gave away a sad undertone to his comment.

"Hey," I scooted closer to him, "you okay?"

He sighed, looking up at me nervously, "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"H-how did you um, know you were g-gay?"

I looked at him with mild surprise, glancing down at his fidgeting hands then back up at his anxious face. "Well...a few years ago I was playing spin the bottle with a couple of friends of mine. The bottle landed on me and then on my friend, Max. I had always felt very strong emotions towards Max, but I just thought it was because we were friends. I figured he would just give me a peck on the lips or something but well... Max was a bit of a comedian; when he kissed me, he really kissed me."

Alec nodded, his face heating up a bit.

"And I don't know, it just felt right. I had kissed girls before, but none of those times felt anything like this. Obviously, I didn't know I was gay on the spot, this is just when I realized I might not be straight."

The younger boy nodded, biting his lip.

"If you don't mind my asking, why did you want to know?"

"Well..." Alec hesitated, his gaze dropping to his hands, "Phil, I-I need to t-tell you s-s-something..." I noticed his stutter was worse than usual. "Please don't be mad!" The boy pleaded. I was shocked to see he looked close to tears.

"Alec," I wrapped my arm around his shoulder, "What is it?"

"I t-th-think I l-like D-Dan..."

My mouth fell open slightly. I had been expecting a lot of things but that had not been one of them, "Oh"

"I'm really sorry! I just felt s-so bad and I h-had to tell s-someone! I p-promise I won't d-d-do anything!" Alec sniffled, wiping the tears from his eyes.

"Alec," I pulled him into a hug, "it's okay."

"I-it is?" He asked, voice wavering.

"Of course," I pushed him back, wiping the tears off of his face, "You can't help the way you feel about someone. I trust you enough to know you won't act on these feelings."

"Th-thank you!" Alec pulled me into another hug, "Y-you won't tell him, w-will you?"

I smiled, ruffling the boy's hair, "I wouldn't dream of it."

Dan's POV

Carrying a tray of beautifully decorated cupcakes (courtesy of Val) I followed my friend back up to her room. No matter how many times I had been here, Val's room would never cease to amaze me. The walls were covered in posters for obscure bands I had a hard time believing even existed. Her bedding was an elaborate pink and black pattern, which perfectly matched the deep red wallpaper, or at least, what you could see of it.

"We brought cupcakes!" Val yelled, setting the tray down on the bed.

Not wasting any time, Phil picked one up and took a large bite out of it, moaning loudly. "Val, I think I want you to marry me."

"How typical," Val rolled her eyes, "you only love me when food is involved".

"Hey!" I whined, "What about me?"

"We can talk bout us when you learn to cook like this."

Scowling, I picked up a cupcake and shoved it into his face, leaving a giant spot of strawberry icing on his cheek.

"Dan!" He shrieked

Laughing, I leaned over and licked some off of his cheek. "To be fair, this is hella good."

"You're disgusting," Phil whined, wiping the icing and saliva off his cheek.

I glanced up at Alec, who quickly blushed and looked away.

Confused, I glanced at Phil, but he simply shook his head, returning his focus to his cupcake.

After a brief moment of consideration, I decided not to dwell on it and jumped back into conversation with Val and Phil.

Despite the crushing weight of multiple tests that would determine our future, the four of us managed to maintain high spirits as we continued talking late into the night.

Or, at least until my Mum called telling me Phil and I were supposed to have gone home an hour ago.

A/N: A kinda cute little filler.

How do y'all feel about Alec confessing his feelings?
