Dan Howell: resident theatre geek, is taken by surprise after instantaneously falling for the pretty new boy. Phil Lester: awkward new kid, doesn't even have time to adjust to a new town and new people and a new school before falling for a boy he met on the bus his first day. Everyone Else: has no idea why it took so long for Dan and Phil to realise they like each other. You: hopefully reads, votes, comments on, and immensely enjoys this story. Me: is The Worst, but hopes you like this story. tries to stick to a regular update schedule, but sometimes fails miserably.

Sixth form. Fresh start or just back to square one? Phil rather suspects the latter, a school constructed entirely of new may as well re-define your identity. Phil is woken from his pensiveness by a pair of surprisingly molten brown eyes. Disclaimer: I completely respect Dan and Phil and their privacy and sexuality, I am full aware that they may not be dating both this is just fiction. It's my first Phanfiction and I am new to the PHANDOM so please don't judge I just think they're so perfect together. Themes of domestic violence and alcohol abuse included.
