"Dan, what do you think I mean by 'friends or more'?" Dan pauses, he had never really thought about it. "Are you really that blind Dan?" The brunette blinks, taken aback by Phil's slightly harsh words. "It's never been about the bet babe. Why do you think I sat next to you in all our classes together? Sat on your lap on the bus rides home? Never mind, it's stupid anyway. You're such a pretty boy Daniel, you would never be mine." His eyes soften and he tries to turn away from Dan only to be stopped by him.
"What are you saying?" Dan asks, making Phil sigh when he realizes he has to explain more.
"I've seen a different side of you Daniel, and I must say, I really like that side. I also like your normal side to, but I feel like you're hiding who you are, and so am I. However I'd like to get to know that side you only show you're sister because I could spend forever next to that side of you. I guess what I'm saying is that I like you, quite a lot actually." He scratches the back of his neck. "I was, I was hoping it wasn't true. We never seemed like the compatible couple, and you keep it so blurry Dan." He sighs once again.
Dan opens his mouth but Phil cuts him off. "I'm not done. After what happened at my last school I really didn't want to get into a relationship and make that commitment. I also knew you being who you are would be like 'oh hell no bro' so I didn't think much of it. Now, I'm thinking a lot of it. I know I just made everything awkward and crap and I know it's been a month and stuff but yeah, I like you."
Dan doesn't know how to reply so he just slows his breathing to keep his heart from beeping. Phil waits patiently for a reply and starts to get more anxious as the seconds go by. "But why? Why do you have feelings for me?" Dan asks, a sudden wave of questions surging through him.
"Because of who you are Dan. You're some on I could spend countless hours just being with." Phil explains awkwardly, confused at Dan's question.
"Wh-what does it feel like to like someone?" Dan stutters.
Phil blinks. "Well, um, your stomach tingles and feels like it's doing gymnastics. Your face constantly turns red at the smallest things they do, all you want to do is impress them, every love song you hear you think of them, and on top of that they're all you can think about."
"D-does your heart b-beat fast?"
"All the time."
Dan breath and takes a step towards Phil. "Then, same."
"What?"
"I feel the same I guess I don't know I'm just an idiot, I've never liked someone-" Phil rests his hands on Dan's shoulders.
"Do you mean it?"
"I-I don't know I just, feelings are irrelevant, we all die alone anyways so what's the point in everything?" Phil's arms slowly wraps around Dan's neck and he pulls the brunette closer so their chests are pushes up against each other. Dan keeps his breath slow and calm as he stares into Phil's blue eyes that were twinkling with an emotion Dan's never seen him posses before. Was it love?
"Does this feel irrelevant?" With each word he gets closer to Dan until their lips lightly brush against each others. Before Dan can answer or push away, Phil's lips are attached to his in a comforting and passionate kiss.
Dan clumsily wraps his arms around Phil's waist in return, he never kissed someone before, but he likes it. He just hopes he's doing it correctly.
Beep beep
Dan didn't want it to stop as Phil's hands tangled into the brunette's hair, tugging slightly making everything in Dan's body tingle with excitement.
Beep
Dan's robotic heart seems to short circuit.
Beep
Four beeps.
"Ahh!" Dan scream in pain and clutches his chest over his heart.
"Dan? Are you okay?" Dan's knees give out and he lets out another scream in pain as his heart starts beeping loudly. "What's that beeping sound? Dan what's going on?" Phil didn't get an answer, instead Dan just gripped his shirt and forcefully pulled it off his body. "Um Dan? We just kissed best to take it slowly."
Dan doesn't laugh, instead he lays on his stomach on the carpeted floor. "M-My upper left back. F-find the-" he screams out in pain once again. "The dent! Back dimple or whatever you call it! Put your thumb there!" He yells.
"Okay okay." Phil places his thumb where Dan instructed. "Now what?"
"Push against my skin- ahh!" He bites his lip in pain and Phil obliges, but what happens next makes him jump. A small square of Dan's skin lifts up above the rest and moves back, revealing his robotic heart.
"What the bloody hell!" It's Phil's turn to scream as he stares wide eyed at Dan.
"There should be a lever on my heart, pull it down and then let go!" Dan yells in complete pain.
"Bloody hell okay how could today get any weirder?" Phil does as said, pulling the lever down the letting go so it can shoot back up.
"Rebooting." Dan's voice goes monotone before he passes out.
