Tonight, Tonight | The Smashing Pumpkins

Dan was high. He was high on Phil's scent.
He loved the way Phil smelt. It felt wrong, but Dan kept trying to sniff him as much as possible without Phil noticing.

Phil did notice.
And it made him really happy.

Other than swooning over how hot Christian Bale was, Daniel Howell and Phillip Lester paid no attention to the movie as they were too invested in the presence of each other.

Yet, none of them uttered a word or tried to make any conversation, other than the occasional 'oops' when one of them bumped shoulders accidentally, as they were sitting that close to each other on Dan's very spacious bed.

And time moved too fast once again, and soon they were looking at the television screen which showed the credits rolling. Now they had to talk. There wasn't an excuse of the movie for their lack of conversation.

"Soooooo", Phil dragged the sentence and the silence soon became awkward.

"PJ huh?", Dan replied and attempted a casual laugh but it sounded nothing but casual to his own ears. He hoped that Phil didn't notice that.

Phil didn't reply for a few seconds and that made Dan a little unhappy. He tried to swallow the uneasy feeling he got in his throat when he knew he was about to cry.

"PJ ... we're just friends. I didn't want to make him feel bad at first so I agreed to go out with him. But Peej gets it. He agreed that we'll be friends."

Any unhappiness Dan was feeling vanished when Phil completed the first sentence. And by the time Phil was done, Dan felt nothing but happiness. Happiness that he hadn't felt in a long long time. Happiness that made him forget about everything else. Happiness that made every single tear worth it.

And happiness was Phil.

Finally. Some satisfaction after writing a chapter.😤.
