You're The Straw To My Berry (Phan)

Part six

Phil P.O.V.

I was rudely seized out of my sleep by loud knocking on the door. "Aah!" I jumped out of surprise and fell off sofa, feeling confused for a moment as I wasn't sure what I was doing on the living room floor.

I stood up and looked over to the sofa to find Dan rubbing his eyes, his face scrunched up and his usually-tamed hair sticking up at all angles. I couldn't help but smile at how adorable he was and I seemed to fall even further in love with him, if that was even possible.

I got pulled back into reality by another harsh rapping at the door. I rubbed my eyes and ran a hand through my hair as I walked to the door, and pulled it open with an unamused expression. I found two guys around the same age as me, both pale green eyed and close in height staring at me eagerly.

"Chris? Peej? What are you doing here?" It came out a lot harsher than I intended it to be and they exchanged glances in a secret code before staring back at me.

"We just came by to see how you were doing, no one's heard from either of you since the party so we wanted to make sure you were okay. Sorry, we can go if-" Chris was cut off by Dan's yelling.

"Phil, who is it?"

"Just Chris and PJ!" I shouted behind my shoulder. "Sorry for the bad mood, come in guys," I stepped aside as they walked in cautiously and I shut the door.

Dan came over to us and smiled at our visitors.

"Hey guys, how've you been doing?" I saw Chris and PJ relax a little at Dan's welcoming and a felt a pang of guilt, but then I remembered how they woke me up and the feeling faded away.

"We're good, did you sleep in that?" PJ asked him.

"Uhh..."

"Chris, Peej, do you want tea or coffee or anything?" I asked to stop Dan feeling embarrassed.

"I'll have tea please mate," Chris said.

"Yeah, same here."

"Alright, you guys go through the living room, Dan come help me," I ordered. Dan followed me in and I filled the kettle up and put it on. I turned to Dan who still wasn't fully awake and he smiled at me sleepily before wrapping his arms around my shoulders and I put mine around his waist and kissed him.

"Morning," Dan mumbled, resting his forehead against mine. I chuckled lightly before melting in his warm eyes and kissed him deeply.

"Hey Ph- woahhhhhh!" We jumped apart and saw wide-eyed Chris and PJ at the door with their mouths shaped like 'o's. I froze and felt myself flush and out of the corner of eye I saw Dan chewing on his lip, looking as nervous as I felt. Moments passed with us all just looking at each other; the tension that hung so thick in the air could've been cut with a knife.

"I always knew," Chris started and he grinned at us, making me relax. "Cough up Peej, I won the bet."

"But-"

"No buts - you. Money. Give. Now," PJ sulked as he pulled out his wallet and gave Chris what looked like a £20 note. "Thanks, nice to be doing business with you."

"You were betting on us?" Dan piped up, sounding distraught.

"Yeah!" Chris was beaming but PJ looked miserable. "I'm totally cool with it by the way."

"Me too," Peej smiled but it looked too forced.

"Thanks guys," I smiled at them feeling relieved and looked at Dan but he was still chewing his lip.

Chris and PJ left us alone and I went over to Dan who flinched at my touch. I started to worry, was he having second thoughts? Was he regretting all of this? Was he regretting us?
