Unlikely Savior

Unlikely Savior- Chapter 15

A/N:

Guys, I literally have nothing to do for the summer. Like, it's only been about three weeks and I'm already bored out of my mind. Will one of you talk to me on my tumblr or something? I really need to make more friends, but that's work so whatever.  Anyways, here's chapter fifteen of Unlikely Savior! *This phic may or may not end up being longer than my last phics. Longer meaning more than twenty chapters.*

*Phil's POV*

I placed my head on Dan’s shoulder and squeezed his hand slightly as our legs swung over the edge of a bridge we found while walking around. It was already pretty much morning by the time we escaped Dan’s house, the sun already slowly rising. We decided to just waste our time pondering the streets until we got hungry enough for breakfast.  

I was quite confused as to why we’d run from his house at such an early hour at first, but once Dan explained, I couldn’t help but relate. It wasn’t like my parents were homophobic, but my mom did make it clear she didn’t want me around Dan. But, that obviously didn’t work in her favor seeing as I was currently watching the sunrise with him at my side, holding my hand.

The thought did run through my mind, though. What were people going to say once they found out about the two of us? Were people even going to find out? Dan didn’t want his parents finding out -though that was for the best for both of us-, what would make him want other people find out?

“Dan, are we going to let people know about us?” I looked up at him as he sighed, almost as if he’d been expecting the question. “I don’t know,” he shrugged lightly, “I definitely don’t want my parents finding out.” I nodded as I thought of something we can both agree on.

“If people begin to find out about us, your parents will find out eventually,” I pointed out, not wanting to sound pushy, but it was true. Dan nodded, obviously being smart enough to gather the consequences of revealing our relationship. “My parents are supportive of me,” I suggested, “My mom just doesn’t necessarily have a liking towards you.”

“What’s wrong with me?” Dan gasped, mocking that he was offended. I giggled slightly before pecking his cheek. “Nothing’s wrong with you,” I smiled as Dan’s face flushed with red.

“Can I tell Sarah?” I whispered, wanting Dan to approve due to everything that happened. Dan looked at me with a repulsed expression as if I just suggested sacrificing him to Satan. “Why would you want to tell her?” the last word sliding between his clenched teeth.

“Yeah, about that,” I rubbed the back of my neck nervously, “We sort of had a thing for like a week but we broke it off because she knew you had a thing for me before you even knew yourself.” Dan furrowed his brow as he stared down at his legs. “Then what was that whole thing at the party?” Dan murmured, sounding quite upset.

I squeezed his hand tighter to reassure him that there was nothing between Sarah and me. “She sort of did it to make you jealous and I went along with it,” I stuttered, “But hey, it lead us here, didn’t it?”

 “Fuck you,” Dan mumbled almost inaudibly, letting go of my hand and crossing his arms, trying his hardest to keep himself looking upset. “You know you want to,” I smirked before Dan blushed furiously as I nudged his side.

“But seriously, she’s the closest friend that I have after you,” I sighed, “Can I tell her?” Dan seemed to ponder the thought for a moment before giving in and nodding. “You can tell Chris and PJ if you want,” I shrugged, “Even Emma if you’d go there.”

Dan shook his head feverishly right as the words left my mouth. “Are you crazy?” his eyes widened at the idea, “The only reason I hung out with the three of them was because they’re all homophobic and it made my dad proud.”

“Sorry,” I muttered. Honestly, sometimes it felt as if I knew everything about Dan, but then he told me things like this and it felt like he was a completely different person that I had to learn all about once again. “How about this,” Dan took hold of my hand again, “We’ll let everyone know, even my parents, but I want to take it slowly.”

“I like that idea,” I grinned before swinging back over the edge and standing to face Dan. “What are you doing?” he raised an eyebrow as he got off the edge as well. “I’m hungry, let’s get breakfast?” I began to walk down the path, Dan running up by my side and wrapping his arm around my waist.

“I don’t have any money though,” he stopped, searching his pockets for cash but finding nothing. “I don’t either,” I repeated his actions but found nothing. “Well, you know we can’t go to my house,” Dan spoke as he tried to think of some way for us to eat.

I looked around for some kind of small coffee shop that may have free things before realizing that I recognized the street. “Actually, my house isn’t too far from here,” I exclaimed as Dan looked at me with confusion.

“What happened to taking the revealing thing slowly?” he questioned, “I thought you said your mom didn’t like me.” I shrugged and started off my walk again, not really caring about what my mom had thought. “What’s the worst that she can do?” I smirked as Dan struggled to catch up with me.

“I don’t know, kill me?” Dan exaggerated as I rolled my eyes at him, not bothering to stop so he could catch up. “Come on, don’t be such a wimp,” I groaned, “If I can deal with her, you as sure can, too.” Dan finally caught up and grasped my waist again. “Don’t talk like that, Phil,” he muttered as we walked along the path.

I looked down at the ground below us and watched our feet move alongside each other. We remained silent as we got closer to our house. I felt Dan getting nervous as he tightened his grip around me.

Within minutes, the two of us stood in front of my front door. I heard the blender stir from the kitchen as Dan practically clawed at my hip. I glanced at him for a second before giving him a quick kiss and unlocking the door. I allowed the two of us in before my eyes flew across the room towards the kitchen and connected with my mom’s, and I could automatically tell why Dan was so anxious about this.
