Chapter 19
Dan's POV*
Phil and I are walking to PJ's, wondering what Phillip's surprise was.
"Are you sure Chris didn't tell you?" I asked him again.
"YES! He didn't tell me anything." Phil chuckled, nudging my side. I smiled and nudged into him but putting my face in the crook of his neck. It was warm and comfortable and I didn't want to move. I was trying to be a little flirty if not cute, well as cute as I could.
I felt Phil's arm snake around my waist and pull me closer. I smiled and closed my eyes, walking alongside him in complete bliss. There weren't many people out but I didn't care who stared or not, I was happy.
"We're here Dan." Phil whispered, pecking my head. I grinned and pulled away, grabbing his hand and dragging him inside. I chuckled when I saw his cheeks go slightly red and couldn't help think it was aboslutely adorable. I knocked on PJ's apartment door and waited as I heard footsteps.
The door opened and I went to speak, "Hey P-" I froze halfway when I realized who was standing in the doorway, holding the door open with round eyes. IT WAS ME! ANOTHER DAN HOWELL. His hair was slightly longer and I was thinking he should get it cut. He also had a few scratches and cuts on his forehead, collarbones and neck. His arm was tucked neatly into a sling.
Was this Daniel? Was this Phillip's surprise? But I thought he was DEAD?!
"U-um, you must be Dan and Phil?" Other me asked, staring at me in astonishment. "Incredible." He muttered under his breath.
"Yeah, that's us ... are you ... Daniel?" Phil stuttered. Daniel's eyes went to Phil and they widened as he took him in. I know it was the exact image as him boyfriend but I edged a little closer to him none the less, stating my claim.
"Yes I'm Daniel, I need to explain some things. Chris and PJ already know." He spoke a little more confidently, smiling sheepishly. We both nodded and walked into the apartment.
When we made it into the living room where Chris and PJ were. "Surprised? Aren't we just miracle workers?" Chris asked, grinning.
"Please, you were just at the right place at the right time. It was completely an accident." Daniel scoffed.
"Still, aren't you glad we did?"
"Of course, although it was a bit creepy when you just stopped and stared at me!" He frowned.
"Well we had just come back from their place after finding out about another Phil from a different universe to saying Dan was his boyfriend who died and the there you are, beate up, bruised and sporting a sling. I mean come on, what are the odds?" Chris said.
"Ugh, whatever." Daniel smiled. I couldn't help blush at the fact that they kept saying boyfriend. I suddenly felt guilt inside me when I remembered what happened the other night with Phillip.
"So are you guys going to explain to us what happened or ..." Phil spoke up, making Daniel whip his head at the sound of his voice. He blushed and coughed, nodding. I wanted to tell him to back off but I knew he couldn't help it, plus it's not like I backed off on his boyfriend so I kept the jealousy inside. Besides Phil wasn't even mine. *sigh*
Daniel then explained to us what happened and Phil and I listened intently, shocked as he told some parts of the story. I then noticed him fiddling with his finger and looked closer to see a silver ring and I felt a swell of guilt and shame once again about coming onto an engaged man.
I think he saw me staring at it. "Oh this? I woke up with it on. I don't know if he was planing on asking me or if it was just a ring ..." Daniel blushed.
"Oh." I squeaked, still feeling guilty.
"So ... are you two together?" He asked, changing the subject. I heard Chris snort and PJ smirk and shot them a glare.
"No." I replied, trying to act emotionless, as if it didn't affect me. Daniel's eyes widened.
"Oh I'm so sorry I didn't mean to-"
"It's fine." Phil suddenly said and stood up abruptly, exiting the room swiftly. What was up with him? I looked to see Chris and PJ looking at each other with worried glaces.
"Was it me?" Daniel asked, looking upset.
"No." Chris grinned.
"Dan get your big ass up and go talk to him!" PJ hissed. My eyes widened and I nodded, getting up to see if he was okay.
"Phil?" I knocked on the kitchen door to where he had escaped.
"Yeah?" He replied grumpily.
"Are you okay?" I asked, leaning against the counter beside him.
"No."
"No?"
"No Dan, I'm not okay. I'M NOT OKAY BECAUSE YOU'RE SO FUCKING OBLIVIOUS." Phil suddenly shouted. I stared at him wide eyed, he'd never raised his voice or properly sweared before.
"T-to what?" I asked, stuttering. Suddenly he turns to me and puts both arms either side of me on the counter behind me back. My breathing hitches as he is only a few inches away from my face.
"Look, I REALLY like someone. Like I actually think I'm in love with them and I think I have been for ages. I'm just so sick and tired of them not noticing." Phil sighed. I felt my stomach dropped but I couldn't help looking him up and down with lust in my eyes. Him this close with that look in his eyes aren't helping my situation. I let out short breaths, not trusting myself to say anything.
"I just wish he'd speak up and tell me if he did like me, because if he did then I'd waist no time in making him mine." Phil breathed, inching only slightly closer. I couldn't help think he was talking directly to me and with hi this close I could feel my thoughts going all jumbled onlycame out with,
"He?" Phil nodded, the action almost causing our lips to brush together. I wanted so desperately to close the gap and even though I was pretty sure he was talking about me there was always doubt. I tried to show him through looks that I wanted him in case he was talking about someone else and I wanted him to know I like him without telling him in case he didn't feel the same way.
With his lips near mine though, I was having little doubt now. Suddenly the kitchen door burst open and Phil jumped away from me, letting me catch my breath again which I just noticed I'd been holding.
"Woops, was I interupting something?" PJ asked.
"No." I squeaked, coughing slightly to get my voice back.
"Well Phillip's here. Come on, it's reuniting time!" PJ grinned. I smiled and breathed a shaky breath as I glanced at Phil who was blushing slight pink. I knew I was probably the same but couldn't help but grin.
