prologue: it had been two months and dan and phil grew apart. The only human interaction was just them asking simple small talk. Dan was busy with his new boyfriend and phil was working on his videos more than ever as he never had anything good to do.

PHIL POV 
I really wanted a dog so I begged the landlord. I said i would get a quiet dog so I got this dog

The only thing that would make dan talk to me was the dog. So Dan and I were still friends because of the dog. I didn't have FEELS for dan anymore but I still missed dan as he was with Winston most of the time. I was thinking that dan would move out with Winston as Winston is looking for a roommate "How was your date? well, day out" I asked 

"ok, how's the dog oh and Phil how are you" Dan smiled. I felt happy because Dan was talking to me 

"Alright, but how was the date" I was more interested in dans date than how I was feeling. Dan looked fed up and bored. Like he wasn't happy at all

DAN POV 
I could have told Phil i was happy and lie but if i wanted to be his friend again then i was going, to tell the truth. I couldn't lie to Phil. "The date went wrong so I needed to distract myself. Phil, we have had some bad months so I want to be your best friend again and Winston keeps asking me if i want to move in with him and all he talks about is his job and how much money he gets. he is getting really posh so he acts really posh when he is around me. " i moaned. Phil had a shocked face 

"whats wrong with Winston?" Phil asked me. "i thought you were completely in love with Winston and you were really happy and..."Phil said "*that's why you leave me so long*" Phil whispered

PHIL POV

My eyes started to water as i remembered the times i had with dan before his birthday and before Winston. "are you ok Phil" Dan asked me 

"yeah i just..." dan kissed my cheek lightly. i blushed and kissed him back on the lips

DAN POV
i could see where this was going easily so I just went with it. In about ten minutes we were in my room kissing passionately butt naked on my bed until... *door opens* "Dan it's me, Winston, where are you i have a surprise for you" Winston shouted standing at the door 

"Dan why does he have a key to our house i know you love him but a key i know you are thinking of giving up on him and you give him a key"Phil grunted 

"sorry i was drunk and he wasn't and he said hey can i have a door key so i gave him the spare. i was drunk" i explained ashamed of myself 

" Dan i am going to stay here and you need to put on your closest pair of clothes i will get changed and say i wanted something from your room quick Dan"Phil said as he got dressed 

"first thing you have said that is smart"i laughed trying not to make it more awkward 

"Dan not now your REAL boyfriend is here with our key i am getting back so Howell you better have a plan to get it back"Phil moaned 

"OK dad, i will go get the key" i smirked trying to make Phil loosen up but he wasn't buying it so i went to Winston giving him a hug but it felt wrong Phil said 

"Dan i am going to the cafe down the road see you later"Phil shouted.i could tell he was sad and ashamed of what just happened

PHIL POV
I felt stupid about what just happened. all i could feel in my body was shame and i never wanted to go near Dan again. as i sat down with a coffee outside i could feel the air rush through my hair and i felt free like i could do anything. i forgot about dan in seconds which means Dan and I were never meant to be. He had Winston and i had my viewers and PJ and Chris and Cat and my other friends. I didn't need dan to tell me i am a fun, happy person. I didn't need love i needed friendship nothing more 

DAN POV 
i needed to get the key from him and i had a good idea a simple one "you know the spare keys i gave you can i have them back Phil's aunt is coming over he has no clue it is a surprise so can i have it"i begged 

"Yeah, fine" he answered after an hour of boredom Winston finally left and i ran out to find Phil right now all i could think of is him. until it was late night and was raining and all there was, was me, on my own with a short sleeved t-shirt and skinny jeans, on a park bench crying for Phil

PHIL POV
I walked through London looking down at my feet as I walked with my cold hands in my pockets and my hair was getting wet in the pouring rain. It was late. The only light was the badly lit lampposts on The side of the road. There was no one in the streets. Even though i thought I didn't need dan I wanted dan right know and needed dan. All I could think about was dan. Dan was probably be with Winston kissing or something. In another context not with me. 

I wanted to be there with dan. I wanted to be with dan all the time all I wanted was dan at this moment of time. He was my light. My sunshine as I said that I remembered the song and as I walked down the pavement Into the park I sang the song. To try and make me smile as it was my favourite song

  You are my sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are gray.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Please don't take my sunshine away.  

I sang the rest of the song as I was just lost in thought. I sat down on a bench it was wet but i needed to sit down and just think what I wanted to do with my life right now. The bench next to mine there was someone sitting on his own. He had brown hair with a short sleeved top on and black jeans on. His head was hanging down he was looking into a puddle and he has a headlight behind his bench. He looked cold as it was raining and in winter. The air was crisp and cold and misty. He looked familiar but I couldn't make it out so I leaned close to the edge and looked at him and it found out it was dan...

I had to talk to him so was about to go up to him But as I was about to stand up i knew that dan didn't care it was Phil or was he waiting for Winston and he didn't like me But I had to risk it. Maybe Dan and I were meant to be

DAN POV
i looked into a puddle and all i saw was a sad black abyss and then i saw Phil so i looked up and Phil was there. i leaned in for a hug no kiss, no words just a single hug 

Prologue: the two men walked away in the rain to a bit of shelter and drew the cat whiskers on their faces and walked through the busy part of London proud even the most hurtful comment wouldn't put them down. they went on their balcony, heads next to each other 

"i love you, Dan, i am sorry i left you" 

"i love you Phil as odd as y... we are i love you"  

the boys had their shoulders and heads side-by-side as they looked at the moonlit city of London and were together ever since. on camera they were friends. behind the camera, they were star cross lovers 

because THEIR FEELS FIXED ALL THE STUPID MISTAKES but as for when they met that's a different story
