Scared of the dark

Phil's pov

I was still trying to comprehend what happened last night. My hurting my hand, Dan being a vampire, the hug. Everything was so confusing.

It was the next day and we agreed to go about our normal lives and if anyone asked just say I tired to catch a very blunt knife instead of the sharp one.
It was around midday and I decided it was probably time to get out of bed.

I flipped my colourful blankets off to reveal my emoji PJs. I felt around on my dresser for my glasses. I put them on and the world was clear again.

I stood up to go to the kitchen to get my cereal.

I open my door and exited without thinking. I bumped straight into Dan. Dan fell backwards at the force and landed on his back. I landed I too of him.

" Well good morning to you too Phil" Dan said with a smile on his face.

I couldn't help but smile at his comment, glancing up at his curly bed hair. He doesn't straighten his hair when we don't go out, I like his natural hair.

" Morning" I breathe out.

A moment of silence fills the room. It's awkward.

" Uh Dan?" I ask easing my eyebrows.

" Yeah?" He asked casually.

" You can get up now" I tell him.

Realisation of the situation his him and his eyes widen. Within seconds he's off me and offering a hand to help me up.

That was to fast for any human-wait.

Now that I remember who or rather what he is. I feel myself grow more cautious around him. I hesitantly take his hand and he pulls me onto my feet.

I smile at Dan and he follows me into the kitchen. I start making myself breakfast getting out a bowl and cereal.

Dan's just standing in the doorway with his hands in his pockets. He's mainly dating at the floor but when I turn away I can feel his eyes on me.

I glance up while I'm pouring my cereal.

" Want me to make you some?" I asked casually, hoping to break the silence.

I glance up again as I put away the cereal to see Dan's expression seems painful.

" Uh Phil...I don't eat" he told me slowly.

I looked at him confused.
" What are you talking about i have seen you eat in front of me all the time" I answer.

I know that his main meals are different then mine but-I always eat with him. We eat pizza and stuff.

Dan's eyes flicker from my gaze down to the floor while he feet shuffle awkwardly.
" I know, but it makes me really sick. Haven't you ever noticed that I go to the bathroom after every meal?".

For a second I look at him with a confused expression. But then I start shuffling through all the times we eat together. He does always ask to go to the toilet afterwards, I just thought he had a weak bladder or something.

" Oh" I say in a small voice as I turn around and get the milk.

Dan's then again watches me finish my cereal creation. I don't mind him watching me, it's sort of awkward for me, but I still feel comfortable. He's still the Dan I always knew.

I got to walk out to see that Dan's standing in the doorway again. I wait for him to move and he does to the side.

" I know you must have a lot of questions Phil, you can ask me anything" he says as we go into the loungeroom.
