Eternally

A New Day!

Dan's p.o.v.
After I called Phil I felt like I was on clouds. I can't wait for our visit. This morning when they announced the visits I heard my name and blushed. They said it was at noon and right now it's 11:58. They are very punctual about these things. I watched the clock as it slowly ticked away the seconds. 78 seconds, 60, 50, 40, 15. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. Then the door opened. I shot out of my chair and ran up to the doctor. "Daniel Howell I assume?" Yes sir! "Okay come with me. I hope your hungry." Why? "Well it seems he brought you some real food." I practically skip as I follow him. Soon he stops. "Here we are." I slowly open the door and am greeted by a smiling Phil. I feel my pocket to see if the picture is still there. I feel it and run up to him. He hold out his arms for a hug and I jump into them. Phil! I basically scream it. "Hey Dan." We stand like that for about five minutes before the doctor clears his throat. Oh... Uh Phil these visits are supervised. "Ya I know they philled me in." He slides me a wrapped up hamburger from McDonald's and a caramel macchiato from Starbucks. How'd you know? "I asked Peej and Chris. They said it was your favorite!" He said it with the cutest smile ever. It is oh my goodness. "So... How are you?" Well after I called you last night I've been on cloud nine! Oh oh oh. I say grabbing the price of paper from my pocket. Look at this. I slide it across the table and watch as he slowly and carefully unfolds it. His eyes widen in what looks like disbelief. "Did you..." He doesn't finish his sentence as I'm already nodding. "Dan... It's perfect! I didn't know you could draw!" Neither did I. I say sheepishly. "Wait... So you mean to tell me you've never drawn before?" I shake my head no, I didn't talk for I had my mouth stuffed. "This is just amazing!" I can't help but make this pun. Amazing Phil. I say winking at him. He shakes his head I let out a chuckle. "Really Dan... That was soooo bad." He's says this teasingly.
Phil's p.o.v.
I just kept staring at the drawing, this beautified version of myself. Seen through Dan's eyes. This is insane! "I know but it just kind of came out of my pencil." Dan... Chew with your mouth close. I keep playfully reminding him. I don't really blame him though. 4 days of hospital food can't be that satisfying. He hadn't smiled that big since I first met him in the subway. I can remember that meeting like it was happening right now. He was nervous, so I think he had a love at first sight kind of thing. I may have even had that but suppressed it. I was reluctant in thinking of myself as gay. But now... I'm glad I accepted the fact. We joked and talked like this for another hour and a half before the doctor that brought him had to take him back. Dan let me keep the picture. And now I'm sitting g in bed staring at it thinking of him.
