-Not done, don't know what to write next? HALP MEH PLZ‽
”Phil?” Dan called from the sofa in their livingroom, which was his regular internet browsing-spot. He was currently editing a video he had filmed earlier this snow-covered day. “Phil!” he called again, and the following, very familiar sound of footsteps in the hallway made him straighten himself as he looked up to meet Phil’s gaze. “Could you come and look at this, it’s done but I’m not completely satisfied with how it came out.” Phil walked into the room and sat down beside his flatmate in the Sofa, getting some butterflies in his stomach, and immediately feeling guilty and dirty about it; and not in a good way. Dan started the freshly edited video, and Phil observed but didn’t really concentrate. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get his mind off Dan’s arm slightly touching his, and the same with their legs.
He snapped out of it after about 10 seconds into the video and quickly said “I’m sorry could you start it over, I was thinking about something else” He got an unbothered “Sure.” as an answer. Yet again, his mind drifted off, imagining things.
“Oh sorry, I did it again” He said, causing Dan to snicker, showing he wasn’t annoyed. Phil smiled awkwardly and leaned his head back onto the sofa. “What’s gotten into you, Phil? You’ve been slightly off recently.” Dan said, closing his laptop and looking at Phil who looked up at the ceiling. “I’m just tired, don’t worry about it Dan.” “Are you sure? Because if there’s something you want to say or whatever then don’t go around and dwell on it, all right?” Phil’s eyes met Dan’s and the flapping of the butterflies instantly got more intense. Dan looked genuinely worried which made Phil happy; it meant that Dan was being honest. Not that he usually lied, but it just reassured it.
Phil opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He closed it again in sync with his eyelids, and opened them again, just to meet Dan’s gaze all over again. “I’m- ” He started, trying to force out something that desperate to both stay in and come out. “I think… ” He said slowly, feeling the words on his tongue. “… I’m in love.” He felt blood rush to his cheeks, his hands slightly shaking. Dan smiled widely, showing off his white teeth.
