Phil jumped out of his bed when he heard the front door slam closed at around 1AM. He knew Dan was back, and he couldn’t just let him go like that argument never happened a few hours earlier. He wanted to settle things with his friend and not let the reproaches build up for a future argument.

Phil sprinted to the stairs to meet Dan before he could lock himself in his room and pretend he didn’t exist.

“Dan!” He exclaimed before he was even at the same flight of stairs as him. “Look, Dan, I don’t want to bother you, but I really think it would be best if we settled things right now about earlier…”

He finally arrived in front of Dan. He stood there, not saying a word. Phil could tell his eyes were virtually stabbing him, but he could also detect a little glimmer of amusement, a very, very little glimmer…

“Look, I’m just concerned about you, that’s-”

Phil stopped talking. He noticed something on Dan’s face, and for a second, he stopped breathing. He couldn’t even begin to understand, and suddenly, a wave of sadness and other feelings he had never really mastered before crashed over him.

“Dan…” He finally managed to whisper. “Is that lipstick on your lips?”

Dan was still silent, immobile, the same glimmer flickering in his eyes. And Phil could’ve sworn the glimmer of amusement took a bigger place than anger.

Dan lifted two fingers up and delicately pressed them on his lips. He then admired them; a red color was spread on the skin. The corner of his mouth twitched, and the glimmer of amusement took all the space in his eyes.

“It seems so.” Dan simply spoke.

Phil shook his head vigorously.

“Did you just go out and hit on some random girl?!” Phil blurted.

Dan simply smiled widely, a tone of arrogance and challenge emanating from his attitude.

“And then you wonder why I’m concerned about you?!” Phil continued with a mix of anger and exasperation in his voice.

“Oh, shut up, you’re just jealous.” Dan said, laughing arrogantly.

“Dan!!” Phil cried, outraged.

“What?” Dan replied, stepping closer to Phil.

Phil was petrified. He stayed still, looking at every move Dan made.

“It’s not really a secret that you would’ve preferred I come to… you…” Dan whispered in Phil’s ear.

“That’s enough!” Phil yelled, pushing Dan away violently. “I have no idea what you’re trying to achieve right now, Dan, but stop it! I’m seriously concerned about you and I can not say this more seriously, do you understand me?!”
