--------------------------------------------
I'm walking fast through the traffic lights,
busy streets and busy lives
And all we know, is touch and go
Dan Howell was on his phone, as usual. It was necessary, on the rare occasions he might have even the slightest form of human interaction. It was the bane of his existence, human interaction was.
Dan didn't look where he was going, as he was completely engrossed in his Twitter feed. This was a huge problem for him because more often than not he bumped into something, like a pole, or someone's mum. The only time he ever looked up, to see a huge sea of heads and a gray London sky, was when he needed to cross the road, like right now. He might be prone to multiple crises of existentiality, but he didn't want to die before he could answer the great "why?". Looking left, then right, he crossed the street with 30 seconds to spare.
--------------
Phil Lester was on the other side of the street, waiting to cross while checking a website he had found online about animals. Apparently, he learned, the newborn Chinese water deer is so small it can fit in the palm of a hand! Phil was pondering the feasibility of this. How could something so small turn into something so big?
And then, because he had the sense of humor of a twelve year old, he immediately thought, "That's what she said".
Phil was so engrossed in the 300 Random Animal Facts page that he completely failed to notice everyone else moving to cross the street. By the time he looked up, cars were whizzing past his face, and he was alone.
Well, almost alone.
There was another boy there too, taller than him, with brown hair and brown eyes and a dimple. He has great taste in music, Phil thought as he noticed the boy was wearing a Muse shirt. Despite Phil looking over at him, he was staring down at his phone and had apparently not noticed Phil was there. He was facing the other way. He must have crossed just now. Phil thought, slightly irritated at himself, and slightly irritated at the Chinese water deer too.
The silence was so thick you could cut it with a knife, so Phil cleared his throat. The other boy looked up, startled. Then, noticing Phil, gave him a sheepish grin. "Hi." he said. "Sorry, I didn't notice you there." and he laughed. It was a nice laugh, the sort that made you think of Ferris wheels and balloons.
"That's okay, it's been scientifically proven phones are more interesting than humans anyway."
The boy laughed again. Phil cleared his throat and held out his hand. "Hi, I'm Phil."
The boy looked at him with some kind of twinkle in his eye as he took it and said "Hi, I'm Dan."
They talked a bit more after that, about Muse and Fall Out Boy and how Phil thought cheese was the worst thing in the world.
Dan was about to wonder aloud how on earth anyone could dislike cheese when his phone buzzed. He looked down and his face fell. "Oh, I have to go. It's my girlfriend."
Oh. Phil thought, and he was surprised to find he was disappointed. He has a girlfriend.
He cleared his throat. "Alright, well, give me your number so we can talk again sometime." he paused. "I mean, if you want to."
Dan smiled and reached his hand out for Phil's phone. "It would be my pleasure."
A/N: I know this is v short but it felt like the right place to stop the chapter, sort of. Anyway, I really hope you enjoy reading this fic as much as I enjoy writing it. :3
