*Dan POV*

I really did not want to be at school today, I didn't know how to face Phil after yesterday either, although he did kiss me back but maybe that was just a reflex. As I was walking to my math class in my own thoughts I was pushed into the lockers.
"Aw Hunter you pushed the fat emo kid" the bully who was named Luke laughed.
"I didn't see him, he's just so invisible and irrelevant" Hunter smirked.
I really was not in the mood to deal with dickheads today so I just gathered my books and walked off to class. Phil was already there about to start writing the test he gave me a small smile and I could feel my cheeks turn pink. The test wasn't so bad I felt like I did fairly well, Phil was a good tutor to be honest, but after yesterday I didn't know if I could face him. Phil was also in my science class, he noticed me looking confused.
"Do you need any help?" He asked me. "Uh no its okay I'll get it" I said quietly.
"Dan if you need help tell me, I want to help you, I can even tutor you in science if you want" Why was he being so nice to me, after I kissed him and ran off, I couldn't say no to his offer he was insisting and no one was ever so willing to help me.
"Wait for me after school, we can go over to my place and we can study" He smiled. I was a little nervous to be honest, after school I waited for him and then we walked over to his house. Phil unlocked the front door and opened it, as soon as he did that a tall guy bumped into him walking out "Watch where you're going faggot!" He spat.
"Sorry Ben" Phil said quietly with fear in his eyes "Who's this your boyfriend?" The boy said sternly "N-no! He's just a classmate, my teacher asked me to tutor him" Phil responded quickly, the boy just rolled his eyes and pushed past Phil leaving us.
"Sorry...that was my older brother Ben who is in charge of me"
"What about your parents?" I asked him and a look of sadness had appeared on his face. "Well um my dad he uh left us..and my mom died 5 years ago, it was a terrible accident" he said quietly, I felt so bad and insensitive for asking him that what was I even thinking? "My brother isn't really the best guardian, but he's the only guardian until I turn 18" I looked at him and frowned, I had no idea what his life was like he was always so kind to everyone and never showed sadness I guess everyone has a story. Phil noticed my expression and quickly smiled before saying that we should probably start studying.
Things were going really well, I actually understood everything Phil was talking about its not as difficult as I thought. I looked at Phil as he explained everything "Phil.."
"Yeah Dan?" He looked up at me, I got the same feeling as yesterday when I kissed him, I just looked at him and then started leaning in to kiss him but before I could I came into my senses and quickly moved back. I got up to leave quickly but Phil grabbed my arm and stopped me "Dan, what's wrong?"
"I-I don't know what has gotten into me, I'm really sorry Phil" I explained. "Its okay that you kissed me, it's okay if you want to Dan.." What? Phil was okay with me kissing him and he wanted to kiss me again? "I-I just don't know how I feel about it, I never had this urge before"

*Phil's POV*

Poor Dan looked so confused he was sitting with his face buried in his hands. "Dan, really its okay" I put my hand on his shoulder.
"I don't know Phil, I just don't know what's wrong with me, I can't make friends, people pick on me and now I'm confused about myself" he looked up at me.
"You know a reason my brother doesn't really like me so much is because I'm gay, out and proud. I don't get bullied at school for it but at home its  a living hell, he makes my life a hell for me" I felt comfortable telling Dan all this, he looked at me with sorry eyes.
"And you're not friend-less, you have me, you can always hang out with me and my friends" I smiled at him.
"Why are you so nice to me?" He asked me. "Why shouldn't I be? You're a nice person Dan you deserve good things"
"Thank you Phil" he said, and he gave me a proper smile which I had never seen before, he had such a cute smile and dimples, Dan was such a beautiful boy and he doesn't even know 
I gave his hand a squeeze and he seemed more comfortable about it then he would've been a day back, he gently pressed his forehead to my arm which made me flinch a bit in pain. "Are you okay?" He asked me. "Yeah I just bruises there.." I said to him, he looked at me with concern in his eyes "Im fine really, I just bumped into the door a couple days ago, let's continue studying" I smiled at him, I could tell that he didn't believe me but I didn't want him to worry, he already has his own problems and knows Ben makes my life a hell he doesnt need to know that Ben hits me too. Besides Dan just started opening up to me and talking to be properly and to be honest I kindah like him, I don't want my messed up life ruining this.

*Dan's POV*

Phil was such a good guy a great friend, his life was so hard he didn't have parents and his brother was mean to him but I got a feeling that there was more than just verbal harassment. I looked at him while he was doing his work, he was beautiful he was kind he was everything anyone could ever want, it's really obvious to me that I have feelings for him now, but I was still confused why was I confused. Maybe I don't have to be.
"Phil?"
"Yeah Dan?" He said looking at me. I put my hand on his cheek and leaned in and kissed him, he kissed me back, this time it felt totally right, no double thoughts, it was nice and passionate. We both pulled away and just stared at each other a smile appeared on both our faces.
