Phan One-shots

Everglow

A/N: This idea came to me when I was listening to this song randomly.  It's based on Everglow by Coldplay.  Hint...it's sad.

The video above is awful quality but it's the best I could find.

*******************

  My converse clad feet hit the ground roughly as I walked slowly down the apartment stairs. 

Head down and dark brown curls hanging into my eyes,  I took a deep breath into the cold November air.

My breath billowed out in small clouds of smoke as I closed my eyes momentarily.

My thoughts began to run wild as a memory began to play behind my eyelids.

               *******************

"DAN!!" 

I hear the loud voice echo behind me as I run holding tightly to the phone of my best friend. 

Looking behind me I giggle at the sight of an out of breath Phil.

"Hey Phil? I wonder what I should do with this little thing?" 

I dangled the phone dangerously between two fingers until I'm suddenly shoved to the ground.

"Umph!" 

I  hear a faint clatter and as I regain my breath I look up into a pair of blue eyes. 

"Oops?" 

Even though his phone is definitely destroyed we both burst out laughing, his head falls into my chest as we both continue to shake with giggles. 

               *******************

I open my eyes with a deep sigh looking down at the cement walkway. 

I shove my cold hands into my pockets and continue walking until I'm hit with another memory.

               *******************

We walk side by side laughing about some animal joke made by Phil, our hands touching every so often before we stop at an old oak tree. 

"Look Phil!" 

I grab his hand and pull him ignoring the protests and dragging feet behind me. 

I only stop when we're right next to the the tree.  Looking up I smile knowing a certain 'sad dimple' is showing, it's confirmed when I feel a small finger poke it jokingly. 

It's then I realize our hands are still interlocked, my cheeks blaze red and I quickly drop his hand. 

My eyes widen when I feel the clammy hand slip back into mine.

               ******************

I stare at my open palm, remembering the feeling of having another one held by mine.

Giving one last glance at the tree I continue walking, a frown has made it's way onto my face as I stare at all the familiar cracks in the ground.

               *******************

"Dan wait!!" 

I run away absentmindedly noticing the pouring cold rain of London as I pass several bewildered people. 

I hear my name called multiple times as I run. 

Why am I running again?

Oh it was the fact that I had just kissed my best friend.  I remember the strange look on his face and run faster.
