the air smells like the promise of tomorrow and nothing has ever smelled more terrifying

[this story is unfinished.] Dan has been having violent outbursts and Phil won't take "I'm fine" as an answer. His outbursts occur more and more every day, and they come to the conclusion that there is something medically/mentally wrong with him. Just one trip to the doctor's office and one diagnosis could change everything. (I'm really bad at writing summaries but please just give this story a try. I'm making it sound bad but it's good I swear...) WARNINGS: Strong language Violence Mentions of abuse Slight (seriously not that much) mentions of sexual content Manic episodes Medical/mental health conditions (I don't know if that should be a warning or not but I'll put it here anyway) Enjoy my lovelies

Dan Howell is a timid boy, who always does as he is told. He was once friends with Phil Lester, the 'bad influence' who soon ditches Dan for the popular group in Year 7. After five years of not talking to each other, they're partnered in a project and Phil's wants to win Dan over just like he has with most of their year. But yet, Dan is determined to find out what Phil is hiding behind his arrogant mask.

Phil Lester is sweet and cute; known for his kindness and enthusiasm. Dan Howell is a tough, cold outsider; known as the school's stereotypical 'bad boy'. But if he's so bad, then why on earth did he rescue Phil Lester and give him a smile which would melt anyone's heart?

" my name's blurry face and I care what you think. " Dan Howell has an unknown condition where he cannot see faces - no matter what he wears or does - they are always a blur. The doctors nicknamed it 'blurry face', and there's absolutely nothing they can do about it; Dan will have to live without faces. That is, until he meets Phil Lester - the 'bad boy' of Dan's new school - who's face is strangely visible to Dan; much to Dan's wonder and Phil's distaste.
