Phil's POV
I woke up, made myself some breakfast and sat down to play some mario kart. It felt good not being woken up by my mum making breakfast..but at the same time kinda lonely.
I considered calling my old friend pj but he lives ages away and I knew that if I called my mum she would  take it as an invitation to come stay for a week so I decided against it.
Maybe I could invite over dan.
No...that's weird and he would probably say no anyways but...what if he didn't?
I mean did I really want to pass on an opportunity to hang out with him just because of my insecurities? No was the answer. But what if ugh, I shook the thoughts of rejection out of my head and ordered myself to ask him over, we could have coffee or something just don't make it sound like a date cause if it comes across that way he  will probs slam the door in my face. As long as I make it sound like we are just platonic friends going for coffee, there is a slight chance he will say yes.

Dan's POV
Waking up has always been a struggle for me, even now when It's only the weekend. I mean I seriously have issues.
After hours of thinking of reasons to stay in bed I finally got up and wandered down stairs just as I did I heard knocking at the door. I contemplated opening it, like who could it be this early in the morning ( 10 is early for me okay don't judge) plus I was still in my p.js. The person knocked again and without thinking I just opened and to my surprise it was Phil, my neighbour and youtube inspiration. Already blushing I looked down at my feet and said
" oh hi Phil, uhh what's up?"
Whats up?! Did I seriously just say that to him oh god! I sound like a 14 year old boy who's just hitting puberty!!
Phil smiled and held his arm tightly as if he was nervous
" I was just gonna ask if you would like to grab a coffee with me..you know as a thank you for yesterday"
"Uhhh"
I obviously wanted to but..what if I slipped up...I didn't want him thinking I'm some sort of a crazed fan
"or we could just play mario kart? I've set up the wii and yes I know wii's are old but-"
" but they are still awesome"
i finished for him. We both smiled and i slowly nodded and said
"yeh okay mario kart and coffee sound cool, but only if it's Starbucks"
i laughed
" haha yeh sure"
Phil replied a smile on his face
" okay I'm just gonna get dressed then I will be over okay?
"Yeh okay see you in a bit! Bye "
I decided on all black, to represent my soul and wandered on over to Phil's. My heart was beating out of my chest and my cheeks were already flushed red as I knocked on the door. Phil immediately opened as if he had been waiting this whole time and immediately smiled his beautiful smile back at me as I grinned at him,
"come on in I will just grab my coat then we will go yeh?"
"Uhh yeh sure " I replied half in a day dream, his flat perfectly suited his personality, it was bright, happy, and full of mystery I noticed his camera in the corner with a small and obviously cheap Tripod and looked away blushing.
" wanna go"
I looked over at Phil who was standing in the door way gesturing for me to follow
" yeh sure"
