Dan tapped his red and numb fingers impatiently on the counter as he waited for his drink, the workers here weren't exactly the fastest at this time of day. He had an interview later that day so looked slightly out of place as he was dressed smartly in a white shirt and black trousers whereas everyone else was dressed casually. It was a beautiful and welcoming place and if he hadn't have been so stressed about how wrong his day was about to go maybe he would've been able to take it all in and had a nice calm relaxing morning.

As he was eventually handed his drink he took of the lid to put some extra sugar in, he was certainly going to need it, when before he could move out of the way a boy of about his age walked right into him spilling the hot drink all over his jacket and Dan's new white shirt

"Oh my....." the boy stuttered, he looked mortified "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to..... I"

Dan looked at him and was instantly struck by his beauty, he was wearing a black winter coat, that was now stained with coffee, with thick denim jeans, black glasses, his black hair up in a perfect quiff and to top it all off a white scarf that wrapped around his neck effortlessly.

"It's ok"

Dan said quickly, it quite clearly wasn't as now he would have to go to a job interview with a coffee stained shirt. Phil looked him up and down and seemed to realise the situation almost immediately.

"Job interview huh? I'll buy you another drink and then I can take you back to my place for another shirt if you want?"

Dan nodded hurriedly before beginning to rake his pockets for some more money before Phil put a hand on his shoulder and shook his head.

"No no. I'll pay"

Dan reluctantly nodded, he didn't like it when other people paid for his things, it made him feel bad and like he would have to make it up to them somehow. He watched as the boy ordered their drinks and couldn't help but be mesmerised by how happy and positive he seemed to be. After a short wait he turned around holding the two drinks noticing Dan staring he laughed quietly,

"Hey... lets go"

Dan felt his face go red having been caught staring, the two of them walked out into the cold street. The only thing keeping Dan warm was the coffee.

"My apartment isn't to far, it's just down the street a little"

Dan nodded in response not exactly knowing what to say.

"I'm Phil by the way. Sorry it took me so long to properly introduce myself"

He said with yet another beautiful smile.

"Phil"

Dan said quietly as though processing it into his brain.

"I'm Dan"

"Well, Dan, I'm sorry I spilled your coffee all over us I am rather clumsy if I'm honest"

"It ok. I mean if it makes me miss the interview I could never thank you enough"

"I'll give you one of my shirts so that you can still go. My girlfriend shouldn't be home because she's at work so I don't mind helping you prepare or driving you there"

Dan didn't know why but the word girlfriend hit him hard and almost disappointed him.

A short while later they were climbing the endless amounts of stairs to Phil's apartment and Dan hadn't done this much exercise since PE at school.

"How ..... many ..... stairs"

Dan painted as he continued to try catch up to Phil who seemed to be racing up them.
