**Watching Doctor Who**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Dans POV**

When phil opens the door I give a fake smile, well I always do. I don't want to lie to him but I can't tell him how broken I really am. It'd kill me. Well I'd kill me actually. We go and sit on the sofa and just start a casual conversation. Though it wasn't until we say down I noticed Phils Fall Out Boy shirt. Am I really that blind? I pay a lot of attention to his face and hair actually.

"So how've you been? Anything happen over the last how many hours?"

"Well I just noticed your Fall Out Boy shirt and want to hug you now"

Did I just tell phil I want to hug him? Well the answer to that is did I just screw up? Yep. I'm horrible at hiding feelings when I like someone. Dammit.

"Awe Dan you're too adorable"

My heart skipped a beat. I can feel my cheeks blush. I hope phil can't notice. Who am I midi g he probably can see right through me. Well fuck.

"Thank you phil, I've needed to meet someone like you for a while"

The truth is I really have. I just have a feeling I can trust him. I don't know what it is, but maybe one day I can tell him I'm depressed and he can help.

"Awe thanks I've needed to meet someone like me too. So what do you want to do?"

If I had the guts to say you I would. What is wrong with me. I don't know whether or not to laugh at what I thought. I should stop. I think too much.

"Umm. I don't know. Maybe we could watch something?" I prayed that sounded casual and not weird.

"Yeah sure, but we'll have to go into my room if that's okay with you."

"Yeah it's fine"

Phil stands up and I stand up a second after. We walk into his room and phil jumps on the left side of his bed and sits on his legs up straight. I awkwardly and slowly sit down the same way on the right side. He grabs the remote and looks at me. He tossed the remote in the air a couple times.

"So what do you wanna watch?"

"Well. Do you like Doctor Who?"

"Oh my god Dan I love you! Yes I love Doctor Who! I've surprisingly never met anyone who really watches it"

He did it again. I'm done. He just said he loves me, even though it's in a friendly way it will keep me up at night. I wish I could tell him how I feel.

"Yes! You are a more amazing person I've ever met! Everyone I've met before thinks I'm weird"

I just realized how sad that got really fast. Well it's true though.

"Awe Dan thank you again! And you're perfect, not weird. We are all weird in our own great ways."

Phil leans over and hugs me causing me to fall over towards him. We both laugh and I think it was the first time I have a genuine smile and laugh. I didn't need to fake a smile or fake a laugh. Phil was the first person in forever that make me feel happy. I think I can see our friendship going far.

After we finish laughing and calm down, phil turns on Doctor Who. We occasionally make comment about things we didn't notice before and laugh here and there. After being in really awkward positions we both just relax next to each other. After episode after episode, after episode, after episode. I can feel myself start to drift off until I fall asleep.

**Phils POV**

I look over after a while to see Dan asleep curled up turned toward me. He seems peaceful. I want to curl up next to him, but I know I can't. I get off the bed and walk over next to him. His slightly tanned skin makes my skin much more paler than it already is. His hair falls perfectly in a messy way across his face. The curls in it makes him look more adorable. I cover him up with my duvet and sit on my sofa.

I wish Dan could be mine. I know he can't though. The way he sleeps. There's something about it. I just want to wrap my arms around him and make sure he's okay. I still can't. He's too good for me. About an hour later I heard movement coming from my room and I run back in to see Dan sat up looking panicked. I could see the relief in his eyes when he saw me. He uncovered himself and hopped out onto the ground.

"Hey Dan, I'm sorry I should've stayed in here but I didn't want to wake you up"

"It's okay phil. Thank you for not waking me up but it would've been fine"

"You looked very peaceful and I couldn't ring myself to wake up"

"Really? I never get a peaceful night of sleep. That's a first. I think I'm gonna go back before my hair freaks out even more. Sorry I look like crap"

"Awe but your hair looks adorable that way and I'll see you later"

"Bye Phil"

Dans smile looks a little fake, but this time it seemed more real.

"Bye Dan"

I smile and close the door. I go back to my bedroom to see the spot where Dan had drifted off. I slide my hands across the fabric and fix the covers where Dan had been. I think every time i think about him more I fall for him a little bit more. I wish he could be mine. I'll let this little crush go by. It should pass in a bit so Dan and I can be just friends.

Dan and I don't see each other for a few days and we just text because Dan hasn't felt good for the past few days. He said he's okay and doesn't need anything though he feels worse everyday. I get concerned after a few days of no improvement. I think I'll give it another day or two before no matter what he says im going to see him and make sure he's okay. I haven't seen him in a bit. To be honest I've been a bit well "ugh" without seeing him and knowing he doesn't feel good.
