The Wrong Way Around [Phan]

Chapter 7

Dan's Pov

I really did feel bad that it had taken me so long. But as I walked out of my room and saw him standing there, I knew I had made the right decision.
He tried to run, though, which was a bit upsetting, considering he was the one who wanted this question answered.

I dragged him out to the couch, and we sat there, silently, for a bit. I was still holding him by the arm in case he decided to try to get away again.

I needed to tell him now, or I might change my mind and I knew I would regret that if it happened.

All that time thinking, I had realized that I wasn't as straight as I thought I was.

Now, I was still straight, but I was willing to take a chance on dating Phil. I felt that if I didn't at least try, it would be like a missed opportunity. Like I would never have truly finished my life when I died.

So after all this thinking, I told him. I kind of lost all my courage at one point, and trailed off, which made him very sad. I could tell.

Then I finished my sentence.

That changed everything.

He was smiling. A real, proper smile.

He hadn't done that in a while.

But if he was so happy, why was he still crying? I hoped they were just tears of joy.

Phil grabbed my hand again. I hadn't even realized I had let go, I was so happy and excited.

When he had finished crying, he moved closer to me on the couch, then snuggled up beside me, resting his head between my stomach and my lap.
Nothing could have ever felt better. Except maybe...

I leaned down and kissed him. Not on the cheek this time, though. It was a proper kiss. Almost.

I mean, sure it could have been better. But it was still amazing, just like Phil.

He was slowly moving his head up, kissing a bit harder.

So I pulled away.

I didn't want to start too quickly, I had done that before... I couldn't lose Phil like that.

In fact, I didn't want to lose Phil at all.
