Phil's POV
I turned on my phone flashlight and walked to the doors. I stood in front of the door which was automatic and. Nothing. The power was out so it didn't open.
I walked back to the main part of the store and looked around for any people. There was a cashier and a customer both looking as lost as I probably did.
"Well this sucks." The guy said.
That made me laugh and they both looked at me. "So the doors won't open because of no electric." I stated even though both of them probably already knew.
"Well I guess we just get to chill here." The cashier said walking away using the light of her phone.
"Uhhh." The guy who was buying stuff said probably feeling awkward.
"I wonder how long this will be out." I said.
"I don't know." He said looking at the ground.
"I'm Phil by the way." I smiled.
"Oh, I'm Dan." He said a little awkwardly. I found him very cute. He had brown curly hair that was slightly messy, and he was wearing a black and white striped sweater from what I could see. He was a little bit taller than me and the way he acted was adorable to me.
"Well I mean if this is the apocalypse then we're in the best place." He laughed.
I smiled. I liked this guy already. "Why don't we go find something to do." I said.
"What do you mean?" Dan questioned.
"Well we're in a store. We have loads of things to do." I smiled.
"Phil I. I don't think we should do this I mean."
"Dan I. I think we should do this." I mocked. "It will be fun let's go." I grabbed his wrist and pulled him.
While we were walking dim lights came on. They were meant to not use electricity so that in times like this people could at least have light. Don't ask me how they worked.
We walked to the toy section and I picked out a bright pink ball and threw it towards Dan. Surprised, he caught it and laughed.
His laugh was beautiful. It was loud and obnoxious but the good type of obnoxious. It was genuine and sweet.
I caught the ball after I was done day dreamin- I mean thinking critically, and then put it down.
We continued to play with more children's toys and before I knew it we were laying on the ground talking. "So Dan, what do you like to do?" I asked.
"Your mom." He answered laughing.
"Shut up." I said, softly pushing him.
"I'm joking. I like to browse the internet looking at memes and dogs until 3 AM." He said oddly serious.
"Same." I laughed.
"Tell me about yourself Phil. Why were you coming to a store so late anyways?" Dan asked.
"Well. I came here because I had to pee really bad coming home from my parents house, and this was the first place I saw that I could just run in and out. But really I'm a boring person, there's not much to tell you." I said.
"That can't be true." He said.
"Well I don't know what to tell you. Umm, I have an older brother, my lifelong dream used to be to be a weather man, umm my favorite color is blue and I like animals. That's really all I can think of right now. Tell me about you." I said. I noticed that dan was staring right at me. It made me uncomfortable at first but after a minute I started to stare back.
"I know something about you." Dan said.
"Huh?" I asked confused.
"You have nice eyes." Dan said smiling.
I felt myself blush. "Thank you."
"I'm a much more boring person than you. I don't really know what to tell you either." He laughed. "Umm I'm left handed, I dropped out of university, I'm just getting out of my emo phase at age 26 even though I still can't hear a g note without crumbling to the ground and reaching for a hair straightener. Umm I also like dogs." Dan mumbled the last part and stared at the ground.
"Same." I laughed.
He looked up at me confused. "About what."
"The emo thing, except that I'm thirty and still straighten my hair." I said cringing at myself.
"I think the emo look suits you." He smiled.
"Thanks." I laughed.
After that we talked and talked.

Dan's POV
I feel like Phil and I have been sitting on the ground forever just talking. I've learned a lot about him and he's absolutely amazing.
I keep trying to drop compliments towards him because I really like him. It seems to be working.
While we were sitting in a comfortable silence Phil spoke. "Dan what time is it?"
I watched as Phil rubbed his eyes pushing up his glasses and then adjusting them back on his face. Cute. "Uhh it's 12:50." I said then putting my phone back in my pocket.
"Okay." Phil said.
Suddenly I felt something press against my side and then realized it was Phil who had cuddled up to me. I put my arm around him and smiled to myself.
We sat there for a while just relaxing together. Once in a while I would think about how this guy could actually be a murderer or a drug dealer or something else, but I don't think so. Besides what kind of drug dealer has the name Philip. Usually it's like Frank or something weird like benford. Anyways I trusted Phil.
I felt him turn to his side and come close to my chest. I couldn't help but to kiss the top of his head and he didn't seem to mind.
"Dan." Phil said.
"Yeah." I replied.
"I like you."
"I like you too Phil."
"Are you straight." He asked mumbling into my chest.
I laughed, "Straight as a circle."
"Will you be my boyfriend?" He asked.
"Yes." I smiled.
We laid there until the power came back on at about 4AM and we walked out together. Life is great now.
