Afternoon, trouble

In public, Dan is the image of rebellion. Piercings, tattoos and short temper, nobody gets in the way of Daniel Howell.
When he's alone, Dan is scared. And alone. He lives each day terrified and in danger. He continues living this way, seemingly unable to get away, despite his best attempts.

Phil has just finished school, and can't find a career path he's interested in just yet, so he's drifting between going back to stay with his mother again (something he wants to avoid at all costs) or staying here in a town he loves, running out of money fast.

Note to reader: this is a gentler fanfiction. There is no self harm involved, or triggers I can think of. There will be one scene of violence however, and ahem...a few scenes of sex!
