High school AU. Dan is popular and kind of a jerk but really likes phil. There's a dance coming up and Dan really wants to spend it with Phil, but the other popular kids and homophobic assholes don't like the idea.
The polaroid photo - people say if you shake it, it will develop faster, but in truth it just ruins it. Phil is a working class, geeky, lonely boy toddling through life with his camera. When his family falls on hard times, he is forced out of his bubble and into the real world. Playlist: http://open.spotify.com/user...
Phil doesn't talks. Well, not anymore. The last time he said something, was when he didn't hate himself. And that was a long time ago. But now, everything is different. He must struggle with depression, whilst new boy Dan Howell desperately attempts to win him over. [Warning: this could be triggering at some points]
