The single dad || phan

Dylan's POV

I liked Lucy's papa. He was called Phil. You know, I hear loads of the boys talking about their mates parents being good looking. I'm not going to lie, Phil was hot.

I never thought it was weird to find boys good looking and have crushes on them but since everyone found out about Lucy's parents I guess it wasn't normal.

There was this one kid in our year called Jack who I thought was cute. He had a girlfriend though. Well I say girlfriend but you know primary school romances and that...

A lot of people thought I was in a relationship with Lucy. I wasn't, obviously, she's pretty and she's great but I don't think I swing that way... I don't really know. I'm only 8 but you know, all the other guys have crushes on girls and I have the crushes on the other guys. It was my little secret. I want to tell Lucy but I don't know... it feels a bit weird talking to her about that. Maybe I'd tell her tonight...if it came up.

We drove to my house to get my stuff and so I got it all and said bye to my mum and drove to Lucy's house.

It was big. It looked so nice. Nicer than mine anyway. We went inside and me and Lucy ran up the stairs to her room. Phil shouted up to us as he closed the front door, "keep the door open!"

Lucy answered back, "Why?"

"Because I said so!" He replied, "oh and we need to pick up your dad in half an hour so be ready!"

I sat on Lucy's bed. "Your dad is hot, L". I didn't mean to say that oh god.

She looked at me confused. "You think...what?"

I mumbled, "he's hot..."

"Oh my god... you don't...have a crush on him or whatever, do you?" She replied.

Phil walked in. "Who's hot and who do you have a crush on?" He said to me.

I blushed. "Oh... no one..."

He looked at Lucy and raised an eyebrow. "He doesn't have a crush on me, god papa..." then she looked at me as if asking if she could tell him. I nodded. " he said you were hot"

I could feel my face burning up in embarrassment. He giggled. "Why thank you... but you should stick to the..."  he looked confused. I answered, "guys, I think" . He continued, "stick to the guys your own age, oh and you can erm, close the door now if you want to"  and he left.

"I didn't know you liked guys" Lucy said.

"Oh, well, I... I do... I guess... I didn't want to bother you with it all, you already go through so much I didn't want to make it worse,  I guess"

"Oh right..." she replied, "really?"

"Yeah..."

"Cool, what do you wanna do?" She asked. I shrugged.

We played for a while until we got shouted down to the car. We drove to the hospital to pick up Lucy's other dad.

We were parking up and I had a thought. What if her other dad would murder me or something because I had a crush on his boyfriend? Fiancé? Husband? I didn't really know.

"Urm... Phil..." I asked sheepishly. He turned round.

"Yeah?" He replied. I let out a breath.

"Are you going to tell him about what I said? You know... before..."

Then a man with brown curly hair opened the door and sat down.

"I won't" Phil replied.

"You won't what?" The man said with an incredibly soothing voice. His eyes were a dark brown and his smile was perfect, including the dimples on both of his cheeks.

"Oh god, not again" Lucy said. I broke out of my gaze on her dad.

"Wait, what happened?" I asked.

The man laughed, "I said that my name is Dan, now tell me Philip!"

I blushed again. Oh my god why are both her parents so good looking?  Why am I noticing it? Oh my god I hate my brain.

Phil didn't say anything but Lucy replied, "Dylan has a crush on papa and said he was hot"

"Oh my god, L! That's evil!" I said while my face became more red.

Dan laughed. " oh well, I know he is but he's all mine" he said and then kissed Phil. "Now, Luce. What do you mean by not again?"

"Dylan was in a trance looking at you when you get in the car, like how he was when he saw papa"

I couldn't look up. I would physically burst of embarrassment.

Lucy looked at me, "omg do you have a crush on my dad aswell?!"  I didn't reply but somehow I blushed more.

"Oh my god, you do!"

"Why thank you" Dan laughed. "Hey Dylan?"

I looked up and answered, "yeah?" It came out as a whisper.

"People will be horrible but don't listen to them, okay" he said. I nodded.

Then Phil started the car and started to drive to their house.
