Dan's POV

As I walk to the party at Chris and Peej's with Phil I notice him shivering.

"Are you cold, Phil?" I ask him

"No," he replies then shivers

"Yes you are," I shuffle over to him and wrap my arms around him from the side, "I told you to bring a coat."

"Yeah, yeah," I chuckle at his defence. I've known I've loved Phil for a year now. And let me tell you, it hurts like hell knowing I can never have him.

"Better?" I ask.

"Yeah, thanks, Dan. You're the bestest friend ever," my eyes start to sting as he says 'bestest friend' and I choke to cover a sob.

"Dan, are you okay?"

"Yeah, fine," I stifle another sob.

"No you're not, Dan."

"Phil, it's nothing, just drop it," I give him a stern look and stares at his feet, "Phil, I'm sorry. Can we just forget about it?" His features soften and he nods.

About five minutes of silence later we reach Chris and Peej's house. It's really quiet so I knock on the door, PJ comes to the door and unlocks it for us. From what I could see there was no one else there.

"Where's everyone else?" Phil asks.

"No one else turned up," Peej says quietly. Chris then appears through the living room door.

"Hey guys," he welcomes us, "Come in."

We walk into the house and make ourselves at home on their sofa. Peej and Chris stand awkwardly in front of us.

"Erm... there was something we wanted to tell you guys," Peej explains.

"Go ahead," I say. Peej looks over at Chris, Chris smiles encouragingly at Peej and takes his hand.

"Are you - are you two together?" I ask. Chris nods awkwardly at us.

"Congrats guys!" Phil exclaims breaking the ice.

"Yeah!" I say after him, "Thanks for telling us!"

"How did it happen?" Phil asks.

"Well," Peej begins, "We were both in the kitchen and I just looked at him and we both kinda knew."

"And then we had an extreme make out session," Chris adds and winks at PJ who blushes.

"Spare us the details guys," I beg.

Peej looks at us and smiles, "So you guys are ok with it?" He asks.

"Of course we are!" Phil shouts.

"I mean, I'm gay so it would be weird if I wasn't ok with it," I tell them.

Phil looks at me, "You're gay?" He asks me. I look awkwardly at the carpet and nod.

"Well done for coming out, mate, finally," Chris whispers the last bit under his breath but we all still hear it.

"Finally?" Phil asks for me.

"Well," Chris mumbles, "It was pretty obvious, you know, the way you look at Phil," I shake my head minutely at him but it's too late because Phil's already heard.

"What?" Phil looks confused.

"Chris was just joking, Phil, weren't you, Chris?" I give Chris the death glare.

"Yeah, it was just a joke, Phil," Phil doesn't look convinced but just leaves it anyway.

Chris looks at Peej with longing in his eyes.
