"What did you draw?" Phil asks as he rests his chin on Dan's shoulder to look at what he's drew.

"Um." Dan looks at the drawing, he subconsciously drew Phil. "I guess it's you." He says blankly grabbing his paper and putting it into his home folder. "What did you draw?"

"Well it's funny you ask." Phil holds up his paper for Dan to see. It's a realistic drawing and Dan's eyes widen and his breath hitches. "I drew you as well! It's not the best but-"

"I love it." Dan breaths, staring at the picture. "You're an amazing artist."

"Oh gosh thanks you're to nice." Phil's cheeks turn an embarrassed red as he tucks the photo into his art folder.

"I really mean it Phil." Dan tells him, slinging his back over his shoulder. "Anyway, are you ready to head to my house for tutoring?"

"Yeah, but all I really want to do is hug you." Phil opens his arms up wide but Dan neglects to enter his embrace.

"Well I'm sorry but somethings we want we just can't have." He starts to walk away and Phil follows him, a playful pout sown across his lips.

It was Phil's fault really. Dan hadn't had anything to do with it, well actually he did, but it was still Phil's fault that they were walking hand in hand down the pavement.

It was Phil's idea. Dan was on his phone and reading Mrs.Lester's emails, which Phil didn't know, but nonetheless Phil made an effort to tell Dan that reading on your phone while walking was dangerous. So he proposed to hold Dan's hand while he walked to keep him safe. Dan didn't like that idea but when Phil started going on and on about the various ways you can die while on your phone, he gave in and reached for Phil's hand to shut him up.

So now here they are, walking down the pavement with Phil holding his hand securely to make sure he wouldn't walk into a pole or somehow walk into the road.

"In my opinion I don't really think it's true but think about it, how weird and cool would it be if that fact were true? Dogs being able to see their own farts? Fantastic! How do you even find out how dogs see? Do you replace a human eye with a dog eye and study what the human sees thru there dog eye? Just, how? Maybe humans are colour blind to the colour of farts and that's why dogs can see them!" Phil smiles at his realization.

"You are to creative for your own good." Dan shakes his head as he listens to Phil while reading the email.

Phil's getting skinnier, is he eating alright at home? I asked him about it and he said be was eating perfectly fine. As his therapist I can't help but wonder though, it is my job after all. Just make sure he eats enough.

Lots of love,

Misty

Dan shuts his phone off and shoves it in his pocket. Phil smiles at Dan's comment and continues to rant on about whatever comes to his mind as Dan studies his slim figure, the therapist is right, he is skinnier. His clothes seem to hang from his body.

"What a crazy world am I right? Babies born without knee caps, giraffes can't cough, and a ducks quack doesn't echo, and we all share your birthday with 9 million other people? Crazy. This world is crazy." Phil's eyes shine brightly as he talks.

Dan sighs. "Where do you even find this stuff?"

"Internet. I um, didn't exactly have many friends at my last school so just in case I needed to start conversation with someone or if a new kid came in I'd use facts to start conversations, it's all I know how to do." Phil admits with a nervously laugh.
