Phil stays back while Dan walks down the steps. Claiming to be putting away the movie put in reality he had to get his thoughts straight.
Dan had tried to kiss him, him. It's an insane thought. Never in a million years would Phil even think it. He definatly liked Dan, he knew that. But Dan liking him was a different idea entirly. And god damn, Phil wanted to slam his head againist the wall. They had been so close, and everything was perfect but then it had to get fucked up by Phil's family.
Phil sighed, rubbing his hands down his face. This was going to be the most akward dinner he'd ever had. Surpassing the time Phil told his family he was gay.
He walked down the stairs looking for Dan in the dining room.
"Dan?" He asked, walking into the kitchen where his family was getting dinner off the island.
Oh god, what ie he regretted what he'd done and just left? Phil may not be able to handle that. Dan was one of the only people he'd made this type of affectionate, care free connection with and Phil was desperate to not lose it. No matter what it took.
"He's in the bathroom," Phil's mum said calmy, bunping his hip lightly as she walked into the dining room.
Phil sighed when they all left the room. Walking over to the bathroom door and knocking lightly."Dan?" He asked, voice timid since Dan may still have snuck out.
"I'm not running away Phil," Dan's voice coming through the door made Phil smile. Dan knew exacly what he was thinking and he thanked goodness for that.
"Thanks, dinners ready by the way," Phil told the door. Grabbing his dinner of meatloaf and carrots before heading into the dining room.
Phil's mum and dad are talking when he sits across from them. Leaving a seat for Dan. They turn to him with matching smiles.
"Well? Did you like the feedback?" Phil's dad asked.
"Yeah, its amazing. I thought we'd get some bad feedback but it was all good and Dan was super excited." Phil smiled at the memory and eating his meatloaf.
Dan walked out of the kithen. Setting his food down next to Phil and filling the air with weird tension/anxiety.
He sat down, smiling at them well Phil's mum laughed."Did Lee give you a makeover or Phil?" She teased, making Dan blush at his purple/pink hair.
"Lee, I got guilted," Dan joked, making Phil laugh and eat another bite of meatloaf.
"I think he looks pretty! And so does Phil," Lee defended herself, face covered in meatloaf that she was wolfing down.
Phil blushed a bit, face growing hot then cold while he stuffed his face to not speak.
Phil's dad coughed and Phil caught him winking at him. Growing hotter while his mum giggled and did the same. Dan's head buried in his plate.
"So Dan, how did you like the radio show. Consider doing it full time? When you graduate I mean," Phil's dad asked, pointing his fork over to Dan who was finally looking up.
Eyes positivly shining.
Phil glared at his dad. This was not the time for "boyfriend" questions. Especially after what happend. But with Dan's eyes like that Phil couldn't help but be excited for the answer.
"Yeah, its tons of fun! And someone left a message saying it made them feel very happy over the shitty day they were having so," Dan grinned like a maniac, moving his right hand under the table and grabbing Phil's.
Phil's dad smiles, nodding along to what he says and Phil can't help but be suprised.
He hadn't even seen Dan react to that comment. But of course he had seen it and smiled. Showing it to Dan before scrolling through the rest of the comments. Know, with Dan so happy about it he wished he had.
The tension is quickly deflated as Dan inlaced their fingers, squezing Phil's hand and eating meatloaf.
"Thats wonderful Dan! Phil was just like that when his dad first asked him to join," Dan's mum smiled at that both with a knowing look before glancing at the table.
Phil swears that women has x-ray vision if she can even see there hands. Dan turns red and tries to pull his hand away but Phil tightens his hand.
Dan sighs, finishing his meatloaf and starting on his carrots.
"Dan, as much as Phil told us about you," Phil's mum looks over to him and he rolls his eyes."But we'd like to learn a bit more about who you think you are."
Dan looks startled by the question, setting down his fork and thinking over his answer."Well, my names Daniel James Howell. I have one step brother named Tyler and a step mom named Jackie. My father married her after my mother left the family when I was 10 years old. My favorite colors black and I like to, make people feel better about themselves. I guess," Dan shrugged Phil, hanging on every word with a affectionate smile on his face and eyes soft.
Phil's mum and dad smile at their son. Finishing their dinners and starting to get up.
"Philly likes Danny!" Lee laughed, clapping like her 7 year old self.
Phil turned red, quickly looking down and his and Dans empty plates.
"Wow, looks like were done, so you guys tomorrow!" Phil grabbed the plates, running into the kitchen and dumping them into the sink.
He ran back into the dining room, saving Dan from another makeover that Lee was about to dump on him.
"Jesus chirst thank you," Dan breathed, running up the stairs with him.
"Your welcome," Phil laughed, opening the door to his room.
