College

Two Years Later

Lots can change in two years.

Dan moved up a year, due to his academic successes, making him in the same year group as Phil, Dan's father remarried and got divorced. Phil moved into a bigger house and his mum had a little girl.

But Dan and Phil stayed the same.
Except they were a bit older now.
12 and 13.

"Dan" Phil mumbled, they were sitting in a tent, it was late September, the night before school started up again.
"Yeah?" Dan replied, smiling slightly as Phil began playing with his hair
"I need to tell you some important stuff about college" Phil sighed. He looked unhappy.
"Mmhmm?"
"We can't act the same" He pouted slightly "We can't hold hands- I can't kiss your hand and you can't kiss mine. We can still hug and stuff but less-"
"Why?" Dan asked, sad tones floating through his voice
"People will bully us"

Dan looked up at Phil. He was so pretty, his brown hair was hanging loosely as he looked down at Dan. His blue eyes flickered in the light of the lamp. He was so, so pretty. Dan wasn't sure how he could be so pretty, but he was.

"But people already bully us" Dan replied softly
"No- But this will be worse. Dip they'll hurt us. They'll throw things at us- I don't want to get you hurt" Phil was almost pleading.
"But-" Dan bit his lip slightly "What if I'm really sad or-"
"We can go somewhere they won't find us" Phil kissed Dan's forehead "Just- Not all the time, okay? Can you do that for me please, Dip?"
Dan nodded, but he was still unbearably sad
"You'll still be my friend- Right Phil?" Dan's whisper was barely audible and extremely pained.
Phil hugged Dan tightly

"I'm your friend forever" Phil smiled, wiping a tear from Dan's face "Best friends"
Dan hugged Phil, crying slightly
"I'm scared" He whispered still. "I don't wanna go to college I wanna stay in our tent forever and ever and ever"
"Then let's. If we open the tent, there is nothing. The tent is all that matters and it's everything. We can stay in our tent universe forever"
Dan was comforted by this thought, that he and Phil could exist in their tent and that would be it, that there would be no bullies or school or people telling them what they can and cannot do.

That there was just their tent universe. Nothing more, nothing less.

Dan looked over at Phil, who was reading him Narnia again. He was so freaking pretty. His beauty was chaotic. He was the prettiest thing ever.
He wondered what Phil thought of him.

Phil thought Dan was flawless, his dimples were perfect, his curls were perfect, his smile was perfect his eyes were heavenly. Everything about Daniel Howell seemed too good to be real.
He needed to test if he was real.

\/\

Dan was lying on Phil's shoulder now. He claimed he thought better there, but it was really just because Dan liked being beside Phil all the time.

Phil moved the book slightly off his lap, and turned his head, kissing Dan on the head. Dan blushed- Slowly Phil lifted his head, putting their foreheads together, noses almost touching. They were breathing in sync.
"You have the prettiest eyes" Dan whispered without thinking.
 and-

Magic

It was a brief kiss, but it was beautiful. It made the bubbles Dan felt grow by one million per cent but it was okay. Because the kiss was everything. It completed the tent universe.

"That was-" Phil began, before blushing again
"Magic" Dan finished his sentence, blushing.
"Yeah- Magic" Phil was smiling widely.

\/\

"Is kisses added to the list of things we can't do at school?" Dan whispered
"Yes. It's top of the list" Phil sighed sadly. "I wish it wasn't"
"I agree"

But neither of the boys wanted to kiss again, they were both so exhausted from the day.

"What time is it?" Dan asked Phil, quietly
"1 am-"
"We need to sleep" Dan sighed
"Goodnight Dip" Phil mumbled sleepily
"Goodnight Pip" Dan replied, equally as sleepily.
