fall into you

in which phil lester finds himself in a local coffee shop at an ungodly hour and, quite literally, falls for a pretty brown haired boy with an intriguing perception of life.

phil's POV:

i pulled the sleeves of my hoodie over my bare hands in a desperate attempt to keep warm. it was early december and I was beginning to regret my decision to leave my comfy apartment to go on a walk in search of coffee. i wasn't quite sure what had possessed me to go out at such and unearthly hour (i'm not much of a morning person, you see) but i found myself walking the dark and desolate streets all the same.

i shivered as goosebumps invaded my pale arms, and started walking a little faster until i was finally in the warmth of a local coffee shop. i looked around to see only a few people in the shop which was reasonable, it was only 7:30 in the morning.

i don't know why i was awake never mind outside at this time but regardless i was glad to be back in the warmth. i walked up to the counter and ordered my drink, thanking the fairly young barista before going to find a seat.

i was about to take a seat at a table in the corner when i felt a heavy weight collide with my left side, almost knocking me over.

i managed to keep myself, and the unknown person stood up, none of my drink having spilled either.

i looked up to see who I had bumped into and i was met by mocha brown eyes staring back at me. we both gazed at each other for a moment before i stood back coughing awkwardly.

"um, sorry about that.. i didn't mean to.." the person said looking down in embarassment.

"hey it's okay, i'm clumsy too." i chuckled lightly, trying to make things less awkward.

"probably not as clumsy as me, sorry again." they looked up and smiled gently. "the names dan by the way."

"phil." i replied smiling. we shook hands and i laughed at the situation. dan laughed too; a gentle, hearty laugh that seemed to warm me up and make my insides tingle. it was nice.

we sat down together and were talking instantly.

we talked about anything and everything; from favourite colours, to our fondest memories from childhood, we covered it all. i learnt that his least favourite letter was Q and his favourite scents were warmth and 3:30 in the morning, especially when it had been raining and the air was crisp.

i adored his way of thought, it was so complex yet so simple, i found the boy intriguing. he must have seen something in me too as by the end of it all we had exchanged numbers. "i'm so sorry but i've got to go. i'll text you later, phil." dan spoke, a gentle smile on his face as we both got up.

we made our way to the door before going our seperate ways.

i knocked on the door before standing back slightly, various bags of belongings in my hands. i was extremely nervous, dan and i were both having financial problems, especially in terms of paying rent so we decided we would move in together.

after the day at the coffee shop we had talked almost everyday.

during the time that i had known dan, a strong bond had formed between us. i felt so at home with him; we were best friends yet i couldnt help feeling something other than platonic attraction, and could you blame me?

i really liked dan; sometimes I questioned how much, but i always pushed that thought to the back of my mind, hoping it would go away.

the way his mind worked fascinated me. i had always been the weird kid at school; i said and thought weird things, things that I eventually began to suppress because none of the other kids seemed to understand.

but dan was so different to anyone i had ever met, we were just so alike. he came out with the weirdest and most thoughtful things.

my thoughts were interrupted by the door opening to reveal dan stood in sweat pants and a random shirt, his hair curling at the ends in such a soft way.

"hi, come in!" dan smiled to me, moving to the side to let me in.

"hey." i said when we finally got into his- well, our apartment.

"come on i'll show you around." dan said tugging on my arm slightly. i put my bags down near the door before walking further into the apartment.

"this is my room, the bathroom, this is the study.. and this is your room." dan explained pointing to all the different doors.

"i'll go get your bags so you can get some stuff out to make it feel more like home." he said before disappearing back to the kitchen and living area. i slowly opened the door dan had pointed out as mine to reveal an average sized room with a double bed situated in the middle.

the walls were a boring magnolia and the room was overall pretty dull and colourless, but i was excited to decorate and make it my own. i walked over to the bed, sitting down to test how comfy it was. after a couple of minutes dan came back with my bags and together we unpacked my things and began to decorate.

"dan? " i shouted through the walls in hope that he would hear me. dan and i had been living together for two years now and our friendship was stronger than ever.

there was no denying my feelings for the mocha eyed boy anymore, i was truly in love with my best friend and I had decided it was the right time to tell him.

"yeah?" dan shouted back and i chuckled gently, the neighbours must really hate us.

"can you come here for a minute?" i shouted back before hearing the faint tapping of dan's sock clad feet on laminate floors; approaching my room. i took a deep breath, mentally preparing myself for the worst as he opened the door and walked in. his presence and bright smile instantly put me as ease and filled the room with a certain warmth, and suddenly i wasn't so nervous.

"hi phil, what's up?" he asked calmly.

"dan, i uhm.. i kinda want to talk to you about something." i admitted and dan nodded hesitantly.

i exhaled before shuffling to the side so that the boy could move from the doorway to sit beside me. i looked down at my hands nervously, squeezing them together as i tried to find the right words to say, but my mind was in turmoil; a whirlwind of masked emotions and surfacing feelings which no words could do justice.

i glanced nervously up at dan and somehow the plethora of hectic thoughts which had priorly consumed me seemed to diminish as our gazes met. we were merely inches apart when his warm brown gaze flickered down to my lips and nothing felt real as the gap between us was reduced to nothing. the second i felt his soft lips on mine i knew i had found my place, i had found my somebody. somebody that made me feel lighter than i had thought possible, somebody made me feel like warmth and 3:30 in the morning, when the air was crisp and the world lay still.

the kiss felt like a vivid pink coursing through my veins and consuming my entire self. dan's hands tangled in my hair as mine held his waist and i couldn't help but smile against his lips.

after an infinity we pulled back, and laid back onto my bed, still securely in each others arms; and there we stayed.

as the sun laid to rest and the moon arose to accompany the thousands upon thousands of glistening stars, we remained intertwined beneath warm sheets and dimmed lights, undisturbed by the world.

and in those moments, neither of us could have been more content.

this is kind of one of my favourite things i've written i think, i hope you enjoyed it lol
