Longest Summer::Pastel!Dan X Punk!Phil

Phil Lester was the opposite, he wore all black, his fringe was dyed blue and he pierced and tattooed his skin against his mothers wishes.

On the last day of school Dans friends invite him along to a summer camp so the three of them can enjoy the three months of summer vacation away from their small town.
