Learn to love me - Phanfiction

Chapter 7

Dan's POV

The blindingly bright sunlight from the undone curtains woke me from my sleep. I turn to my side and smile, seeing Phil asleep peacfully. I place a small kiss on his lips, stroking his cheek.

I hear him groan a little, as his eyes shoot open, revealing those crystal blue eyes of his that make me melt everytime I see them.

"Morning." I smile, sitting up and crossing my legs.

"Hi." He says quietly, his morning voice low and croaky making him ten times cuter.

I get up from the bed, stretching, going off to the bathroom.

Phil's POV

I sat up and waited patiently for Dan to return. A few minutes later, he walked into my room and smiled at me. I frown, looking down at my lap sadly.

"S-Sorry for bothering you last night." I blurt out.

I keep looking down and feel Dan sit down next to me on the bed. He takes his hand into mine, holding my chin and raising my face to look at him.

"Phil, none of this is your fault, okay? You just needed...needed a friend. I'm sorry for being such a dickhead, I was really mean to you. I don't know what I was even thinking. Could you please forgive me?"

I stay quiet, thinking about it. Sometimes I like it better before all this. When we were just really close friends. Because what if we break up? Surely, we'll never talk to eachother again. And that means I could lose my best friend. And I don't want that.

I don't want to lose the only person who loves me for all my flaws, and cares about me me, makes stiupidly funny jokes, orders the pizza for me because I always embarass myself. I miss my friend.

"Dan, I forgive you, but...but do you mind...if we go back to being friends f-for a while? I don't mind the touchy feely, but no couply things. We were close friends, and I just...I just need some time...I miss you. P-Please, if you...if you really love me, you'll do this for me. I want my best friend back. Please..."

Dan's POV

I bit my lip, staring at Phil. Reluctantly, I nod, scared if any sounds come out they will just be a whimper. But I have to do this for him, I don't want Phil to be uncomfortable, so if that means going back to the way things were before, so be it. Atleast I know that I. could have a chance. I have a little hope for the future.

"I'm sorry." He chokes out sadly.

"N-No no, it's okay, y-you need a b-best friend. I-I understand!"

"But I still want to be with you! What I said before was true! I do want to love you! J-Just give me some time to do that..."

I take a deep breath "O-Okay, from now on, i'll just be your best friend again."

"I just need to...I don't know, maybe I can fall in love with you and want all this stuff, but I just miss you as my best friend."

I smile slightly, nodding my head. "Okay."

I smiled on the outside, but on the inside I could feel my heart break. He still doesn't love me.
