Colors (Phan AU)

When they were finally in Dan's bedroom again, he repeatedly punched the wall, making a fist sized hole. Phil grabbed Dan's arm and pulled him to the bathroom. He washed Dan's fist with cool water and bandaged it neatly.

Phil lead Dan to his bed and sat him down. He placed his hands on Dan's shoulders and leaned over so that their eyes met.

"Dan you're okay. It's okay. I know you-"

"It's not okay, Phil!" Dan interrupted. "Nothing's okay! Caspar's dead because of me!"

"Dan calm down. Please stop crying," Phil pleaded. "Please."

"Caspar loved me, but I didn't feel the same way..." Dan mumbled. "I love Louise... God I'm such an idiot!" He suddenly stood.

"Dan," Phil said. He then moved closer and pressed his lips onto Dan's. After a moment, he moved away. "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry I just-"

Dan interrupted Phil by kissing him back. A whole three minute make out session began. Phil broke the kiss and said, "what are we doing?"

Dan laughed. "I don't know, but I liked it." Dan wasn't seeing colors, but he was craving Phil. All of a sudden, Phil's phone started ringing. He answered it with a simple "hello?".

Phil nodded while the person on the other end spoke. This lasted for about thirty seconds, and then Phil said to the other person, "okay Mum, I understand. Thank you."

Phil hung up and then turned to Dan with sad eyes. "Please don't break down again when I tell you this, okay?" Phil said.

"I'll try," Dan replied.

Phil hesitated. "Well... It's Pj... The police found him dead in a ditch. They think that Pj was murdered and his body was put there maybe two days ago."

Dan just stared at Phil in shock. He couldn't believe he lost two friends in only a few days. Phil wrapped his arms around Dan's waist and whispered in his ear, "Dan, it'll be okay. We will be okay."

"Phil," Dan whispered, "do you love me?"

Phil thought for a moment. "I don't know. I guess time will tell."

The next few weeks of school were terrible to Dan and Phil. People who didn't know Pj or Caspar were pretending that they knew them like a best friend. They cried over Caspar and Pj's deaths but didn't really care that they were dead. That made Dan and Phil furious, especially Dan.

"This is why I hate these people," Dan told Phil while they were walking to class. "They all pretend they knew Caspar and Pj."

"Yeah," Phil replied. "It's very irksome."

They walked into math class and saw Louise sitting on top of Dan's desk. She smiled and waved them over.

"Hey guys," she said when they approached. She got off the desk and hugged both of them at the same time. "I'm so so so sorry I haven't spoken to either of you lately."

"It's alright, Louise." Dan smiled when he noticed the colors were back. He wondered if Phil was seeing them or not. And then he wondered if he would ever be able to make the colors last.

"I like that dress you're wearing," Phil complemented Louise.

She smiled and said," oh thank you, you're too sweet."

A new teacher walked in a stood in front of the class. "Hello," he said. "I'm mr. Larson, your new teacher. Your previous teacher will no longer be allowed to step foot in this building. As to why, that's classified information. Now please sit."

Everyone sat in their usual seats, and class began. Dan, Phil, and Louise passed notes during the while period.

Dan: this guy seems weird.
Louise: he's better than the old teacher tho
Phil: agreed. I wonder what happened to mrs. Bay
Dan: yeah me too
Louise: oh crap, Dan I think he just saw you pass the note
Phil: he did
Dan: that's weird that he didn't say anything.
Louise: I'll bet he knows something about mrs. Bay
Phil: wait, I think I've realized something.
Dan: what's that?
Louise: Phil are you saying maybe...?
Phil: maybe he knows something about Pj's murder. Think about it. Mrs. Bay isn't teaching here anymore, and that's classified information, so we don't know for sure. But I heard this morning that they've arrested someone that was under suspicion.
Dan: that makes sense, but why would mrs. Bay kill Pj?
Louise: Pj once told me that mrs. Bay hated him for no reason
Phil: yeah he told me that too

Dan was writing a reply when mr. Larson snatched the paper from him. "Get back to work," he said, flicking the back of Dan's head. He took the note to his desk and read it. He smirked as he looked at Dan, Phil, and Louise.

"I'll see you three after class," he said, still smirking.

A/N
Yeah I know I haven't updated in a while. I've been busy and when I came back to write, I had no idea what was going on in the story. So I had to read it again and plan ahead more. I promise I'll try to upload new chapters more often.

Oh and do me a favor and follow candiedclifford and give her lots of love.

I'll see you guys in the next chapter!
