(Emily's POV)
We went out to the store quickly to grab a bunch of snacks containing sweets, chips, and a variety of drinks. As were walking to check out, a guy bumps into me, and smirks as my back collides with a rack of soda, almost knocking it over. "Oww, the hell..?" I say and Dan turns to the guy and I step back. "Dan, don't.." I start. "Why'd you shove Her." Dan says calmly.
"Because, she was in my way." The guy says, a smirk on his face. "So its okay to hit girls now? Does that make you feel like more of a man? Because it doesn't make you look like one." Dan says. "Do something about it, Punk." The guy says. "I'm not gonna fight you-" Before Dan could say anything else, I grab his arm and pull him next to me, so the guy doesn't hit him. "Its fine, Dan. It'll only bruise probably, let's just go.." I whisper and he nods. "Gotta have your girlfriend protect you?" The guy says. "Go get a life, Dude." I say walking past him
. I didn't realize Dan's hand was in mine, our fingers intertwined. When I did realize, I didn't say anything, because I kinda liked holding his hand. We check out, and on the way back to the car Dan looks at me and sighs. "Does your back hurt?" He asks and I nod. "I'll be fine though, let's just go to your house, play some video games, eat a whole bunch if snacks till we get diabetes, and have fun." I say and he nods, letting go of my hand to get in the car. I frown a bit, but shake it off also getting in. The car ride back was silent, but it wasn't really awkward.
Just a comfortable silence. We get back, and put the snacks in bowls and start playing games. We were sitting in blankets, the biggest One wrapped around Dan and I. After a while I stopped playing, watching Dan play instead. After all, he is better at video games than me. After a half hour, he placed the controller down and looks at me. "You okay?" He asks and I nod. "Yeah, I just decided to watch you play. Since your a professional and all." I say and he laughs. He pulls me closer to him, wrapping an arm around me. "I'm glad we're friends. I really am." He says and I smile. "Best friends?" I question and he nods.
"Definitely." He says and I lean my head on his shoulder. "Oh! I have an idea!" I say lifting my head from his shoulder. "Hmm?" He asks. "Wanna play hide and seek?" I ask. "Hell yeah!" He says and I chuckle. "Wait isn't that for like children." He asks. "And? It's fun." I say and he nods. "Okay you hide first." He says. "Count to 40." I say jump in up and he nods. I quietly walk up the stairs, and go into the bathroom, hiding behind the opened door. Not a great place but all well. After a few minutes I can hear him walking around saying things like "I'm gonna finndd youu." And "Come out, come wherever you are.."
Basically trying to scare me, but it made me wanna laugh more than be scared. He's too adorable I swear. I hear him walk into the bathroom, and hold my breath. I see him look around and walk out, and I let out the breath I was holding. How did he not see me? I'm literally in plain sight. Suddenly the door swings away and Dan stood there. He pulls me Into a hug and chuckles. "Found you.." He says softly. "I see that." I say chuckling, and then yawning. "Wanna head to bed?" He asks and I nod. "I'll take the couch. You can have my bed." He says but I shake my head.
"No its fine. You sleep in your bed, I don't mind." I say and he raises an eyebrow. "I would argue but you always win them so, goodnight." He says placing a kiss to my forehead. I blush and says a small "night" before walking down the stairs. As I lay on the couch, I couldn't sleep. Everything made me stay awake. The sound of the cars driving by, the light shining through the window from the street lamp, literally everything. After about a half hour, I sit up and sigh. Do you think he'd be mad if I asked to stay with him tonight? No, I shouldn't. That's weird right? We're only friends, we shouldn't sleep in the same bed together, but it's not that weird at the same time.
I sigh, confused, and stand up turning in the light. Ellie, who decided to stay down here with me, was fast sleep at the end of the couch, and I smile. Sleeping pugs are the cutest thing I ever seen I swear. "Can't sleep?" I hear a voice say and jump turning to see Dan. "Yeah.. Everything is distracting me.. I'll probably be up for a bit. Sorry if I somehow woke you up." I say. "Wanna come up with me then?" He asks. "Isn't that.. Weird?" I ask. "You don't have to if you dont want to.." He says. "No I mean its not weird to me, but I don't know.." I say and he smiles. "We're only friends, its fine." He says and I nod.
Only friends. Why'd that sting so much when he said that? Do I like him? I stand up and we head upstairs. I lie down beside him and look at the ceiling. "Dan?" I ask. "Yeah?" He says back. "Can I hold your hand?" I ask again. "Can I hold yours?" He answers back and I smile. "Of course." I say softly. He takes my hand in his, intertwining our fingers. "Dan?" I say again. "Emily?" He says and I smile. "I.. I think I like you.. Like almost love you." I state. "I know that I love you." He says before I Drifted off to sleep. Mumbling a small "good.." Before fully passing out.
