short description of Dan and Phil before the oneshot starts: Dan is a tom cat with dark brown fur and amber eyes and Phil is also a tom cat with fluffy jet black fur and bright blue eyes.

Phil paced around anxiously on the carpet in his owner's bedroom, he was nervous because apparently a new cat was coming to his house and he was hoping the cat wasn't mean. His owner's used to have another cat named Charlie that Phil became very good friends with, until Charlie started getting in fights with him and he even scratched Phil a few times in their arguments. After that his owner noticed the blood on his fluffy fur and they got rid of Charlie.

Phil's ears perked up when he heard the creak of the front door and boots stomping on the floor's below him. "The new cat must've arrived," he meowed quietly, crouching as he slowly padded towards the stairs.

He hopped down each stair with nervousness churning in his stomach the the scared meows of the newcomer came closer to him. He won't hurt me like Charlie did, he's a scared cat like me, nothing is different between us. Phil kept trying to convince himself that everything would be okay as he padded up to the cage.

The cat inside it was absolutely beautiful. He had perfect sleek, dark brown fur and these stunning amber eyes that seemed to hypnotize Phil. "Are the other c-cat?" The brown furred creature mewed while backing up into his cage until he flinched as he bumped into the back of the carrier.

Phil snapped out of his trance and focused on the floor, "Uh, yeah. H-hi, I'm Phil. Er, what's your name?" he mentally slapped himself for being so awkward, I'm the first in this household, I'm basically the alpha and look at me, getting so nervous when talking to a new cat that's just as nervous as me.

"I'm Dan, nice to meet you Ph-Phil... that's a pretty name just so you know." 'Dan' smiled a little after telling his name to Phil as he smiled back, hooking his claws onto the cage's door made of metal bars to free Dan from the little space.

"Oh, thank you, thank you," he told Phil when the door finally opened and he stretched, finally being able to explore the huge house that he was in. "No problem, now follow me," Phil instructed, leading Dan to his favorite place in the whole house, the toy room.

"We had a scratching post like this in my old house!" Dan exclaimed, dragging his claws along the rough, beige post in happiness. "Cool, I guess," Phil said awkwardly, causing Dan to laugh at his reply. "You don't have to be so nervous, silly. I'm just a cat like you." He told him, brushing his fur against him as comfort.

Phil purred, rubbing his muzzle into Dan's dark brown fur, causing the sleekness to get ruffled up a small bit. Dan nuzzled Phil's face, walking with him to their sleeping den.

They curled up into a ball together in their cat bed, cuddling throughout the night. Dan watched as Phil fell asleep before him, happy he was able to go to bed to the soft snores of his new friend.

The thing that excited Dan the most was that he knew way more days like that were waiting to happen in his new home, and we would get to spend every second with Phil by his side.

"Dan and Phil." he mewed softly, before the darkness took over and he was teleported to dream land, where he dreamt of him and Phil, sharing moments and having adventures in this mysterious new household.
