Chapter 4

I wake up to someone banging on my front door. My brother probably forgot his keys, I wonder how long he's been out there. I rush down the stairs and open the door, extremely confused by who's on the other side. I think his name is Dave, and I know he's in my grade. Why is he here? Did I forget something? My thoughts are cut off when this near stranger starts rambling.
"Hi Phil. Uh I uh feel really stupid coming here, I'm really sorry to waist your time. I was just uh I was...well I was running and then I saw Lester on the mailbox and thought maybe this was your house so I though 'screw running I'm hiding at Phil's' but sometimes I get to confident and now I realize this was a really stupid idea and-"
"Shut up and come inside" I say, not trying to be rude but damn, that kid could talk. He was speaking so fast I could barley understand him, I almost slammed the door in his face. But then I remembered who he was. I'm not sure if it's because he kept looking behind him like he was being chased by a lion or because of his black eye, or maybe both, but I knew this kid. I don't know him very well, all I know is that he is basically the punching bag for all the jocks at my school. I'm not sure why I'm not the punching bag, I am the gay one after all.
"Seriously? Thank you so much!" The kid ran inside my house and slammed the door shut behind him, then adding to this already awkward conversation, fell down.
"Shit... I swear to god I'm the most awkward person alive" he mumbles to himself, but loud enough for me to hear. I extend my arm and help him up.
"So Da..?"
"Dan. Dan Howell." He says before I have time to guess his name, which is probably a good thing.
"Right. Hi Dan, sorry for my appearance. If you can't tell I just woke up" I say, guiding him over to the couch. He follows before replying, "Shit did I wake you up? I'm so sorry, Phil! Maybe I should just leave.." He buries his face in his hands, then gets up. He is about to head to the door, and I can't help but feel bad for him.
"You can stay Dan, it's alright. I understand. Once they realize they won't be able to beat the living shit out of you today, they will get bored and go home. I mean uh-" Dan cuts me off, again.
"It's alright, Phil. I'm used to it."
"Dan, you don't have to leave. We could play video games or something." I reply, hoping I don't sound to creepy wanting him to stay. I don't have many friends and Dan seems pretty cool. I mean we have practically the same hair cut, and he has a good taste in music judging by his My Chemical Romance t-shirt. He surely gets beat up for a reason though...
"Oh, um, alright. Thank you Phil, it means a lot. Also sorry for waking you up and being extremely awkward and now that I think about it, kind of rude. Just, sorry for everything." Dan says, almost looking embarrassed.
"It's alright Dan. I'm going to go get dressed, you can wait here I guess? Actually that would be extremely awkward if my brother were to come in. Maybe you should just come up to my room? The video games are there anyways." I say, now realizing I practically invited him to watch me get dressed. This day has barely started and it's already painfully awkward.
"Yeah, okay. What video games do you have?" Dan asked as we walk towards the stairs.
"I don't know, a lot. You can look once we get up there, but uh, after I get dressed." I say, walking towards my room"
"Obviously, I'm not a pervert." Dan says, stopping outside my bedroom door.
"Your moms a pervert." I mumbling, walking into my room and shutting the door. Behind the closed door I can hear Dan giggle at my poor excuse of a joke. I start getting dressed and hear my phone vibrate on my bedside table. Only then do I look around and realize how much of a mess my room is. Fallen posters and clothes scatter the floor, hopefully Dan won't mind though. He is the one that decided to come here after all. Once I'm dressed I open the door for Dan and go over to check my messages. Out of the corner of my eye I see Dan look around my room, then walk over to my video game collection.

To: Phil
From: Bear

Hello Philly :) How has your day been going, love? xxx

I glance up from my phone and see Dan is still looking through the stacks of video games, so I type a quick reply.

To: Bear
From: Phil

My day has been a bit...strange, to say the least. I guess good.

I put my phone in my pocket and walk over to Dan, who by now has chosen a game. Crash Bandicoot.
"Good choice." I say, taking the game from him and setting it up.
"Yeah, it's one of my favorites. Who were you texting? Never mind, that was rude of me. Sorry." Dan says, face turning red from embarrassment.
"It's alright, Dan. It was just a friend" I say with a shrug, hoping my face didn't give me away. We play for awhile in silence, before we both get bored and turn the game off. I turn to face Dan, still sitting on my floor.
"So Dan, what do you want to do?" I say, kind of hoping he would leave. He isn't bothering me or anything, I just have nothing to talk about with him.
"We could ask each other questions, to get to know each other better. Or something else, whatever you want Phil." Dan says, turning to face me.
"Alright. You first." I say, moving around a bit until I'm comfortable.
"Okay, um, what's your favorite band?" Dan asks. I think for a moment before replying.
"Probably My Chemical Romance. Nice T-Shirt by the way." I reply, looking at Dans face and seeing him smiling like a fool.
"Really? Mine too. Have you been to one of their concerts?" Dan asks, leaning forwards a bit.
"No, have you?" I reply, smiling because of how excited Dan seems. He's has a cute smile, if I'm honest.
"No." He says, smile fading a bit. "Your turn." He says, looking up at me.
"Okay, what's your color?"
"Brown, I guess? What's yours?" He replies, a bit unsure.
"I'm not sure, probably blue or green." I reply. We continues asking questions for about half an hour before someone knocks on my door. I get up and walk over to my door, opening it to find my brother on the other side.
"Who's in there with you? Your boyfriend?" He asked, giving me that stupid smirk of his.
"No! He's just a friend." I reply, face turning red.
"Alright, whatever you say." He says, winking. I groan and glare back at him.
"What do you want?" I ask, annoyed.
"I wanted to know who the fuck- I mean, who you were talking to." He replies, glancing over my shoulder at Dan. My parents have a rule against swearing, but my brother and I rarely follow it.
"I'm talking to my friend Dan, that's okay isn't it?" I reply, still annoyed by my brothers pervious comments.
"Yeah whatever. Just leave the door open, no funny business" my brother replies, winking and chuckling. I roll my eyes and he starts walking away. I close the door and walk back over to Dan.
"Sorry about him." I say, sitting back down next to Dan.
"It's alright. I didn't know you had a brother, though." Dan says.
"Yeah, he's a bit of a pain. Do you have any siblings?" I ask. Dan nods and says, "Yeah, two little siblings. Twins actually." He replies, cheeks turning red immediately after. If I remember right, my secret admirer said his siblings are twins. Could Dan be my secret admirer? Doubtful, but not impossible.
"I should probably get going." Dan says, standing up and looking towards my bedroom door.
"Alright, see you later?" I say, standing up next to him.
"Yeah I'd like that, see you later." Dan says, walking out of my bedroom, and soon my house. I enjoyed my time with Dan, he was really nice. We seemed to have a lot in common.
