phil stared at the ceiling of dan's room as he held dan against his chest. it was comforting and calming, but not enough to keep his mind from racing.

"why won't you be with me?" he blurted without thought. the feeling of dan flinching at the words made his stomach churn in the worst way possible. it was like he was setting himself up for failure at this point. but if they love each other, why can't they just be together? phil doesn't want to share dan with anyone else.

"i don't want to talk about it."

that stung more than anything and suddenly, phil felt like crying. sure, maybe he shouldn't press his feelings but this involved his own too.

"why?" he asked, moving him off his chest so they could have some space.

"phil, please, i just–"

"no, i-i–" phil stuttered. "if you can't commit to me, i can't do this."

he stood from the bed and walked out the door without a second thought, the adrenaline pumping through his body like a drug. it felt good to stand up to himself for once, but at the same time, he didn't want to lose the only person he wanted.
