the first time we meet i don't know who i am.
and i walk into him.
"oh shit" he says, holding his head. i hold mine as well, for a moment, my hand over the spot where we collided.
"sorry, mate, i wasn't watching" i say.
"it's fine" he says, and he moves his hand and i see his eyes. they're a beautiful, deep blue and he smiles and i can't breathe for a moment.
when i come back to myself, he's holding out a hand.
"i'm phil" he says. "sorry, i could've been watching where i was going, too." he laughs softly. it's a beautiful sound and i want to hear it again as soon as it's over.
"dan" i say, shaking his hand firmly. "i . . . well, sorry, again." he smiles wider.
"it's nice to meet you, dan" he says. "do you live 'round here?"
"yeah, just down the block there" i say, gesturing vaguely towards the building my flat's in. "i was heading to grab maltesers from the tesco."
"i live that way, not far" phil says, gesturing the opposite direction from my flat. "maybe we'll see each other again."
he smiles again and then he leaves, and i'm standing there like a deer in the headlights.
i don't know why but i want to see him again more than i've ever wanted anything else.
i don't know why because i'm not gay.
