"Did you talk to Monica?" Dan squeezed Phil's hand lightly while they walked.
"Yeah- She's a bitch about it" Phil sighed. "Sorry- I mean she's being really rude to me"
"You can swear, you know" Dan laughed a little. "It's fine, I swear all the time"
"I don't swear all the time" Phil replied "I try not to swear, at all"

"Phil!" Dan heard a yell from behind them, Phil pulled his hand away from Dan and mouthed 'Monica'

"Hey Monica" Phil sighed slightly. He kept glancing at Dan as Monica hugged him.
"Hey Babes, hey Dan!" She smiled at Dan, 
Dan read her eyes

Jealous, Angry and Hormonal

Seemed about right.

"What're you guys doing?" She was still smiling, she rubbed her belly slightly. "I thought of a name, babe"
"What is it?" Phil looked disinterested.
"Alex!" Monica jumped slightly "That way it's unisex and then we don't have to decide on two names and if they change genders or whatever they can still be our Alex and we don't have to call them a fake name!"
"Do I get a say in thi-"
"Not that they will change genders, cause we'll raise them right. Church, every Sunday." She grinned. Dan shuddered.
"Do I not get a say in raising this child in any way?" Phil raised his voice slightly.
"They'll be living at your house, of course- My parent's don't know I had premarital sex so I guess they won't know I'm pregnant until I give birth- I'm kinda scared of their reaction"
"What the fuck?" Phil ran his hand through his hair. "Can I not have any say in this?"
"Nope!" She smiled, looking at Dan "Dan, you're Christian, right?"

Yes, Dan was Christian, but he was a very bad Christian. He went to church, but he still blasphemed. If he doesn't go, his mother would probably beat him so badly he won't be able to walk, though. So he still goes. He finds it relaxing. It's a safe space for him.

"Yeah-"
"So you agree that stuff like changing genders and homosexuality and that sort of thing is wrong?" She nodded at Dan
"No" Dan didn't look at her, he instead focused on Phil's hand.
"You're not Christian, then" She laughed.
"If you're such a good Christian why are you pregnant right now?" Dan looked at her, his eyebrow raised slightly "Isn't premarital sex a sin" 
Monica furrowed her brow. "Whatever, see ya then" She suddenly smiled "Bye Dan! Bye Babe!" Before kissing Phil on the cheek and skipping away.

Phil grabbed Dan's hand, immediately. He then sighed
"Didn't think you were so sassy, Dan" Phil chuckled
"I was just stating the facts."
"Well, you're not wrong"
"So I guess she doesn't know you're bi then, Philly" Dan raised his eyebrow "Which makes this situation all the more interesting" He squeezed Phil's hand
"Yeah-" Phil rubbed the back of his head with his free hand, smiling "I don't know how she'd take it"
"Don't you literally fuck dudes on the side, though?" Dan asked
"Who told you that?"
"PJ, right before I first met you"

Phil's grip tightened slightly, he seemed agitated.
"Did he, now?" Phil strained his voice.
"Phil are you oka-"
"When we get to my house I have some shit I need to tell you, and some audio you'd love to hear" Phil sighed. "Just don't be mad that I haven't done this sooner"
Dan bit his lip "Okay"

<><>

"PJ you can't be thinking of fucking offing yourself. The doctors say you're getting better!" Phil sounded upset
"Fuck the doctors to all hell. I don't care anymore, Phil. I can't just run away from my problems anymore"
"But what about Dan? He loves you" Phil was pleading
"I don't love him" PJ sighed "You know I fucking don't love him"

"Why'd you cheat on him, PJ?" Phil yelled "He deserves so much fucking more and you've been lying to him and sleeping with other guys"
"Do you KNOW how hard it is to have a boyfriend that doesn't want to have sex? I can't fucking deal with it."
"You should just be happy you can even be with him!"
"I'll be dead soon so you can fucking have him, see if I care"
"He'll be heartbroken, PJ. You were saving him" Phil's voice went extremely soft
"I wasn't fucking trying. He wasn't fucking trying."
"Bullshit" Phil sounded like he was going to cry "I may not have known much about him but he was Goddamn trying, PJ"
"Fuck off Phil, you can't make me change my mind"

Dan couldn't see anything, his eyes were watering too much.
"I knew you were lying to me" Dan whispered "Back when you said you knew nothing that I didn't already know"
"Dan I-"
"I get it, whatever Phil I fucking get you wanted my memory of PJ to be good" Dan ran his hand through his hair, it wasn't particularly curly or straight. "You're such a good person for that- I just"

Dan let out a sob. He felt like he couldn't even breathe. "I- He-"
"I should've told you sooner" Phil held Dan tightly
"No- I'm- You told me at the right t-time" Dan sobbed into Phil's shoulder "I w-would've k-killed myself, Phil" Dan was whispering now "I would've killed myself if I knew about that"

<><>

Phil ran his hands up and down Dan's back, as Dan snuggled into Phil.
"Hey Phil" Dan wiped his eyes and moved his head from Phil's neck, where it always seemed to be.
"Yeah, babe?" Phil replied softly
"I- I can read eyes" Dan laughed "It sounds fucking stupid- But I can tell anyone's emotions. It's kind of a trade. I don't get happy but I can tell whenever anyone feels any sort of emotion. It's quite dumb"
"How does it work" Phil smiled
"I have to" Dan laughed a little "I have to look in your eyes and boom. It's dumb-"
"What am I feeling?" Phil laughed softly.

Dan read Phil's eyes

Love

Dan blushed, before kissing Phil "You fucking softie"
"We should probably get ready to go to sleep- It's late" 

<><>

"Bear" Phil whispered to Dan. It was late at night, but that one word woke Dan immediately. "That suits you a lot more than the name he gave you"
Dan snuggled into Phil, even more. "I like it more" Dan smiled "I like you more than PJ"
Phil kissed Dan's head.
"At least I know that I'm your side-boyfriend" Dan mumbled. "There better not be any other side boyfriends aside from me"
"There's barely a main girlfriend." Phil sighed, nuzzling into Dan's curls. "You're so much better than her."

"I love you" Dan mumbled. He didn't know what he was thinking, why did he just blurt that out? It made no sense, yet also perfect sense.
"I love you too, bear" Phil replied.
