Chapter Twenty-Eight|That Green Gentleman

Phil

"Phil, you haven't talked to me in days."

I don't mean to ignore you.

"I'm sorry."

"For not talking to me?"

For everything.

"No, for confusing you."

"I'm used to it."

I've never had a best friend.

"Yeah, but not in the way I did this time. I kissed you without explanation, and I yelled at you. I was using you to hide from Dan, and treating you like you were mine to scream at when I was mad. I know it scared you, I could see it in your eyes. I'm so sorry, Evan."

Things have changed for me.

Evan was surprised for a second at the apology before shaking his head, "Phil, it's fine. I know you only did it because you were terrified of being in love with Dan after all of this, and you thought that if you would kiss me you'd forget him, but it didn't work. I'm completely fine with it. If I am helping you, and making you happier, I'm happy."

Phil smiled brightly, "Stop being such an amazing best friend."

But that's okay.

Evan giggled, "Never."

You're my support.

Phil sighed, keeping his smile, "Can I tell you something?"

"You just did," Evan smirked.

Phil shook his head but laughed, "I can't believe you, Evan? Really, we're going to do this again?"

"Depends on what you're going to tell me."

"It has to do with Dan."

Evan smiled devilishly, "Oooooooh, what's the news, lover boy?"

Phil narrowed his eyes in a playful way, "Oh, shut up, Shadow Boy."

Evan rolled his eyes at the old nickname, "I would ask again why you call me that, but I'm a lot more interested in what you have to say about Dr. Howell."

Phil smiled wider unable to contain his happiness, "Dan told me he loved me."

Evan's eyes widened, "Really?"

"Yeah...well he'd done it before, but like I thought it was just a heat of the moment thing because I agreed to go to Pj's funeral with him, but this time I could tell he really meant it, and I don't know...I guess...I mean it's really cute, or whatever."

Evan's grin was wider than the ocean, "Aw, little Philly's all love struck in his cold, dead heart. How cute."

"Alright, Evan I'm not kidding, shut up," Phil chuckled.

"Look at you. You're all embarrassed because all you want to do is talk about Dan. You love that little doc too much. Don't be ashamed. it's cute," Evan smirked.

Phil's cheeks were bright red, "I feel all girly, and shit."

Evan smiled, "What you're feeling is not girly, but the warm, gooey feeling of love. You have the urge to talk about it all of the time because it's taken over you. I don't mind you talking about your relationship with Dan. While to most people that is the most boring thing in the entire world, I find it quite interesting that the cocky Phil Lester is a huge sucker for his little boyfriend."
