dans eyes softened at phil's response, suddenly the tinge of anger that was built up in him was released, his body slightly dropping as he looked over at phil who was staring hard at the kitchen floor.

"why would you think that?" dan sighed, taking a step towards him. phil felt his heart rate speed up at their closeness, dans face only a foot away from his.

"i guess i just thought it was my fault, if it wasn't for me then you wouldn't have seen james again, and-"

"phil," dan cut him off. "never, ever, say this was your fault, because it wasn't. if you're gonna blame this on anyone, it should be me or james, nobody else."

"wait, why you?"

"i mean, i dragged you into my situation, didn't i? my fault for that, my fault for staying in mine and james' relationship, my fault for not realizing who he was before, my-"

"no," it was phil cutting him off this time, setting down his water and taking dans hands in his own softly. "it's not your fault, actually. it's james' fault, only james. got it?"

"yeah, but,"

"no, only james,"

dan smiled lightly at him. "okay,"

"good." phil smiled back defiantly, letting go of dans hands and leaning back against the counter.

yet phil felt like a hypocrite, because he still thought part of this was all his fault. maybe dan actually did regret everything that had happened, maybe he secretly despised phil and his decisions. suddenly phil's mind was racing and he felt his smile drop from his face, every possible bad outcome swimming in his head.

"are you okay?"

he looked up at dan, putting on a fake smile, to which dan slightly returned.

"yeah, i'm okay,"
