Drugs ; Phan

11

i almost thought that never really lasts.

After being together for nearly a year, Dan is still occasionally doing drugs here and there, not as much as he used do, and rarely gets into fights. Phil's still a quiet, anti-social butterfly but has been talking more often not just to Dan but most other students. Graduation is four hours away, currently practicing walking the stage. Phil hopes to sneak away somehow as he's too shy to walk the stage. Dan plans on ditching it straight up, just walking back into school. Phil looks around for an escape or an excuse to leave.

"Sir, may I go to the bathroom?" Phil asks.

"Hurry up." The teacher says.

Phil rushes to the school from the field outside and sits in the hall for a minute. He slips off the satin robe and drapes it over the water fountains. He walks around the corner and spots Dan standing alone.

"Are you okay?" Phil asks.

"Yeah, I'm great." Dan says, "I'm sorry I've been avoiding you all day."

"It's okay, bear." Phil says, making Dan's heart tug, "Are you going to go to the graduation?"

"You should already know the answer to that." Dan smiles forcefully.

"You're not okay." Phil frowns.

"No, but I will be." Dan says, softly kissing Phil's cheek, "I love you so much."

Dan gently and longingly kisses Phil's lips and he kisses back.

"I love you also." Phil says when they break the kiss.

"You need to go to graduation, Phillip." Dan says as Phil shakes his head.

"People are going to see me." He says.

"People look at you everyday, you're hot." Dan smiles, "I look at you everyday."

"You're looking at my dick everyday, liar." Phil smirks.

"Not everyday, just most of the time." Dan says, "Lets go get lunch."

Phil nods and they both sign out of school since they're not planning to go back. They get into Dan's car and drive slowly, enjoying the moment on the way and get lunch at Dan's work.

"Ah so this is the famous Phil Lester." Dodie says as she sees Dan walking in with Phil.

"Oh, yeah. Uh, Dodie, this is Phil of course and Phil, this is Dodie, my boss slash co-worker." Dan says, introducing the two of them. Dodie reaches out her hand and Phil shyly shakes it.

Dodie automatically senses something sad in Dan's eyes and her smile fades a little.

"Well, I have to finish what's left of inventory. When you two have your orders ready, just call me." She says, giving them both a soft smile. Phil looks around and scans the books and music in the back corners of the room.

"This place is beautiful." Phil says to Dan.

"It really is." Dan says, "Did you want anything to eat? Muffin, coffee, sweet bread?"

"I'll have a muffin?" Phil questions, "And an espresso."

"I'll tell Dodie then. You keep scanning books." Dan says. And that is exactly what Phil does, he looks through the books on the shelves which are full of great authors. James Patterson. John Green. Stephen King. Kristan Higgins. Dan gets the coffee and muffin Phil wanted and places it on a table near where Phil is wandering. Dan walks up to him and wraps his arms around his waist, kissing his cheek.

"Come sit down, we can look at the books later, love." Dan whispers. Phil wraps his arms back around Dan and nods. They both go to sit down at the table and eat their food and drink their coffees.
