Part 25

Phil

Phil wakes up with the same guilty feeling he went to sleep with. First thing he does is check his phone, still no responds from Dan. Sighing he closes his eyes, "fuck..." he whispers. He never meant to scare Dan away, he was just so upset after seeing him getting hurt like that. Obviously he didn't handle it very well.

With a loud groan he turns around to get out of bed. He walks to mirror to see his stomach bruising on one side. It was painful, but it wasn't even close to what they did to Dan.

Phil walked through the school doors, his eyes searching for a tall brown haired boy. Walking towards his locker he realized it was exactly one week ago Spencer was making out with Jessica right next to his locker. That also means it's one week ago he and Dan met. And now they were fighting and it was all Phil's fault.

Walking through the halls Phil saw that nothing had changed in the past week. All the people looked the same, the halls were as crowded as ever, everyone seemed to have to same life they did last week. For some reason Phil's entire world felt like it was flipped upside down, everything had changed for him. And, well... not just for some reason, Dan was that reason.

And at that exact moment Phil saw him, standing against Phil's locker was the tall boy, curls falling in his face, wearing an oversized black sweater with the hood up and black skinny jeans. He was looking down at his feet, holding his own hands behind his back.

When Phil walked (or sort of jogged) up to him Dan looked up. "Phil I'm so sorry." he whispered before throwing himself into Phil's arms. A little bit startled Phil put his hands on Dan's back, hugging him back softly. "Are you okay?" he asked.

Dan didn't say anything but Phil could feel him nod on his shoulder. After a second he muttered: "I am now..." 

Phil had no idea where this came from, he expected Dan to be mad at him. Dan pulled back from the hug. "I don't ever want to fight again." Phil said looking deeply into Dan's eyes. "I felt so awful."

Dan nodded, "Yeah me too, I slept like shit." Phil let out a small chuckle as it was quite obvious that Dan was telling the truth. His hair looked like the definition of bed hair and he had dark circles under his eyes. "You kind of look like it too." 

Dan's lips curled into a small smile and he shook his head. "Thanks, means a lot to me." When he smiled like that his dimples showed and seeing him like that made Phil want to kiss him immediately. Phil realized in that moment how much he actually liked Dan, like not just enjoy his company and think he's a good guy or something. No Phil really liked him, like he wanted to hold him and never let him go. He wanted to be with him, really be with him.

"I want to meet your mom." Phil blurted out. Dan frowned, "Uh... you do?" Phil nodded furiously, "Yes, I really do." Kind of confused Dan nodded once, "Alright I guess? Like today?"

"If it's possible." Phil smiled. "Yeah... uh sure, I'll text her and say you'll be over for diner." Dan shrugged, still kind of caught of guard.

"Thank you." Phil nodded. Dan now started grinning, "You're so weird, you know that?"

Dan

Dan turned around to stop Phil right before they would walk through his front door. "Okay, so don't... like freak out or something..."

Phil frowned, "Why would I freak out?" Dan went through his hair with his hand. "Just... she can be a little much sometimes..." he shrugged nervously, "like overexcited and... loud?" Phil grinned at the sight of Dan struggling to explain himself.

"Also, she's like really big on food, so if you compliment her cooking she'll love you immediately." Phil raised his eyebrows, "You're worried she'll won't like me?"

"No! N-no no, I just mean..." Dan stuttered. Phil started to laugh, "Dan calm down, it's gonna be fine!" Dan nodded with an unsure expression, "Yes... Yes it'll be fine."

Phil let out a loud laugh again, "Why are you so fucking nervous? Everything you've told me about your mom has been great." Dan frowned, "This isn't funny. Stop laughing."

This made Phil laugh even louder. "Dan you just keep stressing out here, I'm gonna go inside now." and with that Phil passed Dan and walked inside. Dan could hear his mom yell out some greetings. 

"It'll be fine." Dan whispered to himself before he took one last deep breath and followed Phil inside. "Well Dan didn't respond to my texts when I asked what kind of pasta you like," he could here his mom say. "So I just made three different kinds, so I hope you like one of them."

 Dan saw Phil's eyes widening at the sight of the dining table which looks like it was set for a party of ten. While Dan's mom kept on blabbing about different kinds of pasta's Phil looked over to Dan and gave him a grin. 

Dan felt a weight fell of his shoulders. Phil was fine. He wasn't freaked out by the energy and excitement of his mom. His mom seemed to be enjoying herself as well. As Dan was a light eater she went all out if she had the chance to cook for someone extra.

"So let's sit down yes?" his mom nodded towards the table. "So how did you two actually meet? I've never heard Dan talk about you before." She says while sitting down.

"Uh that's actually a funny story." Phil grins. As they all start the meal Phil tells the story about how he had to skip breakfast to get to school in time and how mr. Davies thought it was a good idea to make everyone do a workout during biology class.

Dan watched Phil's face while he was talking. How his fringe slightly bounced up and down as he talked. How when he smiled his eyes lit up. Dan felt tingles inside his stomach as he was watching Phil up close. It made Dan see how beautiful this boy actually was. It made Dan see how much he wanted to be close to Phil, how he was slowly falling for him.
