Love is Louder Than Words d.h & p.l.

Chapter 2

                                                                        Phil's POV

I looked down at Dan, his head pushed in my chest, nuzzled safely between my arms.

I thought about what happened to him. About whoever did that to such an amazing boy. God, I need him so much.

He'll never like me. He doesn't even know I'm bi.

I put my chin on his head and tried to hold back tears.

I need him so much more then he needs me.

I looked up and down at him. He was perfect. His body was tiny but still amazing. His dark brown hair and brown eyes were... perfect.

He looked up at me and smiled.

His lips are so... amazing. They are pink, and luscious, and look so soft.

I smiled at him and went to speak when my mother started pounding on the door.

"PHILIP! OPEN THE DOOR NOW YOU QUEER! YOU BETTER NOT BE NAKED WITH THAT BOY!"

Dan looked up at me, afraid.

"It's ok. just sit up and pretend you're reading something."

He nodded, grabbing a book from my bag as I opened the door.

" PHILIP. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" My mom yelled, looking around in my room.

"We're studying, mom,"  I responded quietly. Looking back at Dan, who was going through my chemistry book very intensely.

"Why is his shirt on the ground? why is he wearing your shirt? Why does it look so big on him? You should look more like him. Lose a few pounds."

"He was hurt, mom. Please leave, we're studying."

She looked me up and down, then quickly walked out of the room, leaving the door open behind her. I walked tp the door and closed it, then locked it.

I laid next to Dan, now feeling slightly self-conscious of my chubby figure.

He looked at me again, then locked eyes with me, smiling.

"You're perfect, Phil. Your body is amazing."

I smiled, pretending to believe what he said.

He nuzzled back into my chest, forcing himself into my arms. I dropped my chin on his head and smiled. I felt him breathe as we laid there. His hair smelled wonderful. Like berries with fresh winter's snow fallen on them.

The next thing I knew, it was dark, and Dan was asleep in my arms. I kissed the top of his head and fell back asleep.

THE NEXT DAY

I woke up with Dan still in my arms, awake this time.

"Good morning, Phil."

"Oh lord, what time is it?''

"7:15."

"Ok."

We laid in bed for a little while longer, then got up to get dressed for school.

"You can wear anything of mine you want to. It's fine with me. Do you need a clean hoodie?"

He nodded, looking through my closet for a pair of pants to wear.
