PREVIOUSLY CALLED PASTEL AND PUNK Dan Howell and Phil Lester are best friends, Phil being respected due to him having a punk look, and Dan being looked down upon for his own pastel one. Dan begins to receive letters, though, in his locker. They start friendly but slowly get more flirty... and Dan doesn't mind. He wonders who it is though, and even starts to wonder a few things about himself too. Who keeps sending him this letters mysteriously signed "L", and are they really as nice as they sound?

Dan Howell, the school 'nerd'. Yeah, that's the clique he has been put into. He's shy, has a passion for theatre, loves to draw, wears flower crowns, button up shirts, and pastel sweaters. The popular group bullying him constantly, pulling flowers out his flowers crowns, crumbling his drawings, physically harming him, calling him names, and taking any and every moment to call him out about his feminine appearance. He hasn't had many friends except for his best and only friend, Pj. He hasn't had much luck in his life but will something or someone turn that around? Phil Lester, the school punk. He is the kind of person parents fear their child dating. Piercings, tattoos, but what no one suspects is his soft personality. No one really cares to get to know him due to 'status quo'. He doesn't mix in with the popular crowd that is constantly bullying Dan. He's more of a loner, but still playfully teases Dan time from time. So in reality: he is a fucking dork. •Mentions of bullying, depression, anxiety, may have smut idk, homophobia, under-aged drinking, pheels overload• •I don't own dan or phil, or the concept of pastel! dan or punk! phil• I WILL MURDER YOU IF YOU STEAL THIS

Summary: Dan draws, Phil doesn't. Phil wears black shirts, speaks loudly, and glares at everyone. Dan wears grey jumpers, doesn't talk, and tries to stay invisible. Phil's reckless, Dan's not.
