Dan ran around frantically tidying up all of the unnecessary crap from his bedroom floor running downstairs with all of the dirty clothes that he had found throwing them into the washing machine. Having parents that never really had time off meant that Dan had to tidy and most of the time it was only when he absolutely had to, like now, that he did. All the while Alfie followed him around shrieking to be fed yet again, the old cat seemed to crave food every hour of every day.

The letter lay, forgotten about at this moment, on his bed side table in plain sight where Dan had placed it after reading it over many times. He continued to run around picking the never ending amounts of rubbish up and either throwing it out or putting it where it belonged until the door bell rang and Dan's heart practically jumped out of his chest.

Phil stood at the door with some cookies in a box that his mum had somehow managed to make in the time it took him to get ready which was in fact rather embarrassing considering the fact they were just going to be eating pizza and talking.

Dan's hand shook as he pushed the handle down and pulled the door open smiling as he saw Phil standing there, looking so small and cute as he waited to be let in.

"You look so small and cute"

Dan said quietly and without thinking but thankfully a loud car went by and drowned out what he said.

"Sorry I didn't hear you"

"I like your boots"

Dan said half heartedly as his eyes wandered down to Phil's black boots that looked great on him and matched his red tartan shirt and black jeans.

"Oh... thank you"

Phil smiled before remembering the cookies he was holding.

"Oh uh..."

He turned red thinking about how stupid he must look and sound.

"My Mum made us ... I mean you and your parents some cookies"

Dan smiled even more, how could this boy get anymore attractive.

"Aw thank you and you know we can just eat them because my parents never have time for things like that ....."

'Or me' he thought

"That sounds great"

Phil smiled before Dan eventually remembered to let him into his half clean house.

Dan turned around to see his rather fat cat come running towards the two of them, still screaming for food.

"Sorry I meant to shut him into the kitchen"

Dan tried to stop Alfie from going near Phil as cat hair and black jeans, or just black clothes in general, do not mix. But Phil didn't really care he knelt down holding out a hand for the cat that Dan was still not showing his love for. Alfie nuzzled up against Phil's hand purring loudly, tail pointing straight upwards as a sign of friendliness. Dan stood there in silence watching them with a smile on his face, glad that Alfie liked Phil as it would be awkward if he didn't as he was always following Dan.

After a quick discussion about what they were going to eat Dan left Phil sitting on the couch with Alfie, who was now lying on him purring loudly as always so that he could go into the kitchen and phone up to get the pizza delivered to them. While on the phone he looked into the living room to see Phil now lying on the couch with a big smile on his face looking up at Alfie who was standing on his chest. When Dan finished on the phone he looked down at Phil who was now absolutely covered in cat hair and laughed as Alfie lay between him and the couch with his paws in the air.
