Yin And Yang (Phan)

Chapter 2

Phil's POV:

After starting dan a YouTube channel and naming it 'danisnotonfire' because he told me a story of how one time he was celebrating a birthday, here at the orphanage, and almost, but not quite, caught fire!

For his first video I told him to introduce himself, and he did,

"Hi my name is," he made a box with his index fingers and thumbs, "Dan",

His video was short, and that made me a bit sad because soon enough, after the video I'd have to think of more reasons to stay with this beautiful boy.

I've never had feeling for anyone, boy or girl. I was closed off for a lot of my life, and now, with the boy with the big brown eyes, I think I might have feeling for him.

***

After I spent the first three hours of my new life in my room, I decided i should take Dan's advice and make friends. I walk from my room and creep down the stairs. I hear chatter from a room down the hall, I don't know my way around much. I follow the chatter to a dining table.

"Oh Phillip! I thought you were still unpacking! Please! Sit sit! Everyone, this is phil, he's new. His parents... Uh... Were in an accident, and will be missed greatly. Uh, everyone be nice!" Mrs. Young rambles.

I awkwardly take a seat at the end of the table. I glance around at the hot dogs on the table, and reach for one. I notice the loud chatter has turned into quiet whispering and staring. Everyone looking at me.

"Uh.. Hi" I said quietly.

As the whispering continues a little girl who looks about 5 years old looks up and yells to me, "are you a boy or a girl? " her mouth full. Everyone stares at her now like she just gave away their secret.

"I- I'm a boy" I answered her shyly. Because of my hair and how I dressed I got this question before.

"Well, then you dress funny!" She giggles at me.

"Well, I hope its not a problem. I like wearing pastel colors and shorts with thigh highs. I like dressing with my flower crowns, its what makes me happy." I reply growing more confident in my answer as I went.

"Gay" I heard a boy say under his breath. I grew mad at his comment. I don't think people should use sexuality as an insult!

"Fag" I heard the boy next to the first boy mumble back.

I look over to where Dan is sitting a few chairs down, he looks back, and I see anger flicker in his eyes.

Dan's POV

I heard Blake, and Tommy making fun of phil. No one here knows I'm Bi, but even so, phil never said anything about being gay! They are making assumptions.

Sadness, fear, and confusion fluster behind Phil's eyes and the boys don't stop.

"So gay"

"Pretty boy"

"Girly boy"

I had enough. This might risk the good name I have around here, but phil is my only friend. I need to protect him.

Despite the fact I just met him, I can tell phil is special.

"Shut up" I say sharply, anger laced in my tone. The room fell silent for a moment when Tommy said, "What danny boy? We offending you? Are you gay too?" He crossed the line. Mrs. Young had left the room before this started and so she was no help now.

"And what if I am?! Now, I didn't tell you to ask questions! I told you to shut up!" I spit.

The boys narrowed their eyes at me, then turned towards Phil "Sorry, we didn't mean to upset Dan's boyfriend" they teased.

With that, phil had enough and went running up to his room.

I threw a quick punch at them both, knowing I'll get in trouble later. And after making their nose bleed I ran after phil.
