Chapter 7 (Final)

 Phil woke up to the annoying sound of a alarm. The same alarm he's been hearing since school started. It was a bit different to go to a different school, this school was nice as well. Dan was also in most of his classes, so he wasn't completely alone. If anyone tried to mess with him he knew Dan would scare them off. He sat up, feeling Dan's arm which must have been rested on his chest fall to his lap. He grinned and had to start shaking Dan slightly, knowing the alarm alone wouldn't wake him. "Dan, you gotta get up. There's school". Phil said, his voice still a little rough and tired. Though he's been getting much more sleep lately, no one is nicely awoken on a school day.

Words didn't really grace Dan's ears and mind that well on school day mornings. Of course, it was better recently, because he'd acquired a certain companion to sleep next to him and actually get him out of that sleepy state that the mornings gifted one with, because whenever he really realized he was finally with Phil, it sent electric shocks through his body that proved way more efficient at waking Dan up than an alarm. His brain foggy, Dan sat up next to his best friend and current boyfriend, rubbing his eyelids uselessly into his dead-to-the-world chocolate eyes, before sighing and sitting back on the headboard of his bed. "Why was the phrase 'good morning' ever invented in the first place?" Dan asked animatedly, gesturing his hands in exaggeration. "Has there ever been a /good/ morning recorded in history, Phil?"

 Phil chuckled, "Any morning can be good if you make it good, somewhere out there a good morning must have happened to someone". He said, tugging the blanket off of him and standing from the bed. Since he's gone to the new school Phil has been much more excited for it. He always loved to learn, and his old school was anything but nice. Now he goes to the best school in his opinion, and get's to see Dan most of the day. How better could it get? Though Dan seems to think otherwise, so naturally, Phil tries to make mornings better. "Now get up grumpy gus, we have a whole day of experiences to live". Phil smiled.

Dan whined as Phil pulled the blanket from the bed, exposing his warm skin to the harsh cold outer air. "It's too early to be functioning," Dan argued, but he got up anyways because Phil wasn't really paying attention, just moving around and getting his stuff together for the morning. Once they had gotten together as a couple, Dan's father allowed them to share a room but also awkwardly stuffed a box of condoms in the bedside drawer one day while he visited their room. They took Dan's room because it was bigger, and by that time, Phil'd gotten his stuff in their room as well and was all settled. Dan grudgingly put on pants and a random plaid shirt. He hated mornings, honestly.

Phil hopped into some jeans, which needed to be separate from Dan's for Phil's has the hole in the back. Phil didn't know how he lived before where he wasn't allowed to cut his pants. He pulled a tee-shirt on, his hair getting messed up in the process. He huffed, "Why is hair always trouble in the mornings, it's enough you have to keep it normal throughout the day". Phil said, patting his hair down. He turned and waited for Dan to finish buttoning up his shirt for them to go downstairs.

They raced downstairs, Dan glancing down at his watch and reminding Phil that they only had a few minutes. They ate a fantastic (but as always, filling and wonderful) breakfast, and a maid drove them to school using some routes that Dan's father wouldn't dare going to. Dan smiled as they pulled into school, passing by people with Phil that he didn't know or care about, honestly. They held hands in the hall, which made a few people stare, but Dan couldn't care less. It just made him happy that he could hold his boyfriend's hand. In actuality. It was still a wonderful thing to think about. Phil.

It wasn't that Phil was embarrassed to be in a relationship or anything, he just never was the one to start holding hands with Dan and that sort. But it's always been that way, him being shy. Even around people he knows he can trust. He's just never one to start something. Which when Dan started showing Phil affection in school it was a big deal. Because Phil assumed Dan didn't really want anyone to know, for some reason the mixing of the races isn't something looked nicely upon. So Phil guessed Dan wasn't going to be that showy, but Phil guessed wrong. They did the same couple stuff Phil's watched others do in his life. Them never being apart most of the day helps too, Phil only has one class away from Dan. Which he can say is a little boring when he's alone, but it goes by quick.
