*:･ﾟ✧

Phil woke up with a jumping start, he had hung up on Dan after discussing where and when they would have their date. they decided on a small café in the middle of town, near some shops. they both agreed on 4:00, as going at night was a bit sketchy, considering this would be the first time they would actually meet in person.

Phil kind of freaked a bit, he had fallen asleep before he had time to even think about what he was going to wear. Phil hadn't been on a date in forever, and he still wasn't quite sure if Dan was serious about this being a date, or if he simply meant it as friends, and quite frankly, Phil didn't know which he prefered.

The first thing Phil did was shower, then drying and straightening his black hair. he was so cross with himself for not picking an outfit before going to bed, because now he was rejecting everything.

he didn't want to wear any of his quirky tees, what if Dan thought he was a geek? plus he wanted to look nice.

Phil decided on a blue and red flannel print button up, with black jeans and shoes. however discovering the shirt was short sleeved, Phil didn't like the way it looked, so he wore a grey sweater over it.

Phil smiled at his clothing choice, feeling proud of what he picked, until his world collapsed.

he only had one contact left.

Phil panicked. he couldn't wear his glasses on the date, could he? Phil sighed, realising he had to.

He slipped on the thick glasses and grabbed his keys from the counter, slipping the keys from his work lanyard, and stuffing them into his pocket.

he picked up his phone, as it began to buzz.

incoming call from : unknown number

Phil quickly slid the answer button.

his ears were struck with music, a raspy male voice sang "i can't wait to pick you up for our very first date", causing Phil's heart to sort of flutter.

Dan chuckled into the phone. "i felt this song was appropriate for today. do you know what it is?"

"First Date by Blink." Phil mused.

"correct!" Dan exclaimed, and Phil giggled.

"so are you ready?" Dan asked him, hoping he was. Dan was practically jumping from excitement.

"yeah! i should be there in a few minutes." Phil said.

"okay, i'll meet you there." Dan hung up.

Phil didn't tell Dan, but he lived about a 20 minute walk away from the coffee shop he suggested. mainly because he wouldn't like a surprise visit from him in the middle of the night, not until they met in person anyway.

Phil approached the café, keeping an eye out for Dan, when he heard rustling beside his ears, followed by darkness.

"guess who?" Dan mused, carrying the o in who.

Phil giggled as Dan removed his hands and then Phil turned around, being greeted by Dan's captivating smile.

Phil stared into Dan's eyes. they were the colour of dark caramel, and Phil loved the way they sparkled.

"hi" Phil breathed.

"hi, Philly." Dan said, smiling brightly. "i didn't know you wore glasses."

Phil blushed, he hoped Dan wouldn't mention them. he covered the large frames with his hands.

"no," Dan said, removing Phil's hands from his face. He had wanted for Phil to look at him, but he looked down hiding behind his dark fringe. "they're cute."

Phil smiled sweetly as they sat at a table.

a waiter came, Phil ordered a coffee and Dan ordered a hot chocolate.

"so Phil, what are you interested in?" Dan asked, kind of catching Phil off guard as he had been staring at Dan for a while.

Dan was wearing a leather jacket over a black tee with funny white design over the shoulder all the way down the left chest area. He wore the same jeans and shoes as Phil.

"well, i mostly like music. i'm really interested in directing and films." Phil said.

Dan nodded, smiling.

"yeah, i'm a bit of a geek." Phil laughed.

"no, that's cool actually." Dan replied, taking a sip of his hot chocolate. "i'm intrigued."

Phil blushed. "what about you?"

"i don't really know, i love music. i play the piano." Dan said. "and the drums, a little bit."

"wow, that's very cool."

after they finished their drinks, they decided to go to the shops and walk around whilst getting to know each other more. As they were walking Dan noticed a little teddy bear holding a heart, and he insisted on buying it for Phil, no matter how much Phil begged him not to. None the less Phil appreciated the gift, blushing like crazy as Dan not so nonchalantly thrusted the stuffed animal into Phil's chest.

after a whole day of getting to know Dan, Phil felt as if he knew the man for years, and allowed Dan to walk him home.

"i had fun today." Dan said as they approached Phil's building.

"i did, too." Phil said, clutching the animal Dan gave him in his hands.

they came to a stop at the edge of the side walk near Phil's apartment.

"i hope i can see you again soon." Dan said, Phil nodded agreeing.

"goodnight, Phil." Dan said, pressing a soft kiss to the smaller man's forehead.

Phil turned bright pink, giving Dan a quick hug before entering his building.
