We are the ghouls of London // PHAN

•CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE•

The guest bed in the Sugg household was a lot comfier than his at home, but that was to be presumed from the sheer luxury of the entire house anyway.

"Dan? Are you awake?" With heavy eyes, he looked towards the door which let in a lot of unwanted light from off of the landing. Standing there was Joe, who was in pyjama shorts and bare chest.

Looking at him now, Dan could tell why the football star would have so many girls practically drooling over him; he had the perfect body, the type Dan wished he could have but in aid to he would need to exercise, which would never happen. Joe even had abs unlike him: sure he was quite skinny, but that was expected since his diet only consisted of blood and mugs of tea. But to be honest, Dan had always been like it though, especially after Adrian was born. His family was never really able to afford tons of food to eat all at once.

"What time is it?" Dan's voice came out a lot more grouchy than he intended it to; his morning voice had never been the most attractive, let alone sexy.

"5.30," Joe spoke, as if the time he just said wasn't insanely ridiculous or... insane.

"5:30? I usually wake up at 7! I have an hour and a half more sleep to enjoy!" Dan huffed as he pulled the duvet around him tighter.

Joe laughed, "You aren't a morning person i'm guessing?"

"Absolutely not," Dan confirmed, "I'm more of a rush around last minute kind of guy."

"To be honest, if I didn't have footy practice at 7 this morning, I wouldn't be up for another hour. I'm not as insane as Zoe though, she's up this early every single morning, minus weekends or holidays."

"Why?!"

"She always is up early to do makeup and her hair before school. I don't even know why she does it, it's not like she is trying to impress anyone, since, according to her, she 'doesn't have a crush'. And to be honest, she's only making Alfie's crush on her increase..."

"I SWEAR TO GOD JOE IF YOU TELL ONE MORE PERSON ALFIE HAS A CRUSH ON ME I WILL FUCKING STAB YOU!" Zoe yelled from somewhere in the house to him, "ALFIE IS A DISGUSTING HUMAN BEING WHO SHOULD GO FUCK HIMSELF! I WOULDN'T BE SEEN DEAD GOING OUT WITH HIM!"

Joe snorted and pointed with his thumb towards the door, "She always gets super angry whenever I tell people that."

Dan laughed with him, "I can imagine."

Walking into Dan's room and looking out the window, Joe sighed, "I can't be arsed to go this morning. I really can't."

"Then don't."

"I wish I could just bale out like that but I'm Marcus' partner to practice with and if I left him at footy but suddenly went to school, he'd go apeshit at me about it. He takes footy a lot more seriously than me, like his life depends on it."

He pushed himself away from the window and ruffled Dan's hair teasingly on his way out, "You could get away till sleeping till 6:30, but then you'll have a mad Zoe going after you like I usually have. You'll just catch me leaving then too since I leave at 6:45 for the quarter-of-an-hour walk to the school's pitch."

As soon as Joe left the room, Dan didn't hesitate in contemplating on wether to sleep or not, because his eye lids felt heavy and dragged him back into his luxury sleep.
