Chapter 2-when I kissed you on the Manchester
(Note:Iâm currently reading bluebird which is fricking fantastic but here is chapter 2 anyway I hope you enjoy it takes place in the week that dan met phil (near the end))
Warning:uh something that happened in the v day vid happens here
Do you remember the time when I kissed you on the Manchester eye?
Do you remember the time back in 2009?
The following week week with phil had been the best of dans life and before dan knew it he was falling in love with phil all over again
Maybe not falling,because dan could never seem to be falling when it came to phil
But of course dan would never tell phil that,because he couldnât cross the line
He wouldnât cross the line
Or maybe he didnât,maybe it was phil that crosses the barrier between them,but regardless it had been crossed
And maybe that was okay,but they didnât know that
And maybe it wasnât,but they didnât know that either
By the time phil had managed to show dan every crook and cranny of the lester household,he was knew
He had seen the way dans sparkling brown eyes lingered on his figure and he had seen the loving expression that was directed his way yet never supposed to be anywhere near him every time he saw Daniel Howell
And he just knew that dan was falling in love with him
And although he didnât know it,he was falling in love too
Or maybe love had just crashed down on him with the words DAN DAN DAN on every part of it
Because if he could talk to dan for 5 hours on skype he was pretty sure he could let dan in his heart
If only dan would let him
Phil had said something,dan just needed to know what
âDan?hello?earth to Danielâ
âSorry what did you say?âdan questioned
âI asked if you wanted to go to the Manchester wheel today,they are putting up lights it will be fun!âphil seemed genuinely excited to go out with dan and that made Danâs heart flutter in ways he didnât know existed
âI donât know phil itâs already pretty dark out...â
Phil had to choke back a laugh, god dan was such a worry wart sometimes
âDonât worry Iâll take of you in the big scary cityâ phil teased making dan blush various shades of red
âOkay fine but if we get mugged in blaming youâ
Phil laughed, and then dan laughed too and in that moment that was all that mattered because dan and phil were happy and they were together too
dan immediately regretted not bringing a coat as soon as he felt the icy wind slap his tanned face from side to side
âYeah Iâm fine,just a bit chillyâ
Phil immediately felt a knot of guilt tie in his stomach
âWe can go back if you want-if itâs too cold for youâ
phil really didnât want dan to get a cold or something,especially since he was leaving the next morning
Dans laugh echoed in the hollow streets of Manchester âno itâs fine,Iâm fine letâs just get goingâ
âYou sure you donât want to go back to get a coat or something?â
âPhil Iâm fine,Iâm always fineâdan reassured the elder
But dan wasnât always fine,and he wouldnât be fine in the years to come and maybe he never would be but he didnât know that yet and neither did phil,so they set out on their journey to the Manchester eye
Dan could practically feel phils warm breath against the ice cold surface of the pod
Phils eyes scanned the view,biting his lip as he tried to take in as much as he could
The lights,the sky, and though he wouldnât admit it- dan
God youâre so pretty Philip lester
Dan almost said it too- he almost spoke the words heâd promised never to say, he almost crossed the invisible line,almost
But the words had gotten stuck in his throat,choked down never to be seen again-well for now anyway
âPhilâ he breathed, everything was too much
phil was too much, the lack space between them was too much and yet not quite enough
But before phil could finish dan had crossed the line
He had demolished the barrier
And suddenly the space between them was non existent and dans lips were on phils and they were together abd seraching and lights were shining but dan couldnât possibly see because all he could hear,all he could see,smell taste was phil
Maybe it was just for a few seconds,or minutes or perhaps even hours
But when dan pulled away his life had changed
âPhil Iâm so sorry I-â
And then dan died a million times all at once because phil has kissed back and right now that was all that mattered
And then the space between them was no more once again
But this time it wasnât dan who broke the barrier,it was phil
But maybe this time there wasnât a barrier to break
And when phil pulled away dans vision was swimming because he was being intoxicated by phil phil phil and the pretty lights behind him didnât matter because he could see phil and he could smell phil and most importantly he taste phil in his lips
And maybe they always liked each other and maybe they never did stop even if in the years to come thatâs not how it seemed
and maybe they never will stop liking each other
And maybe thatâs okay regardless of how many times they stop and start up again because in the end,you will always have dan and phil
Because itâs dan and itâs phil
And you canât have one without the other
In fact,itâs more than okay
(Note:okay I just realised that ending makes it seem like the end but watch out cuz yâall r gonna get some 2012 action too bec im angsty- actually maybe you wonât
Nah you probs will this ainât the end love you biiiii)
(Also I did not go back to edit this and wrote it at like 12am so thatâs why itâs crap- also Iâm reading bluebird so that just makes me compare my writing to it which is great for my self asteem Oof)
