'shadows settle on the place where you left'
-
secrets can kill, he is aware of that.
"dan?"
he was snapped out of his thoughts on how to tell phil his secret.
"y-yeah?" he couldn't help but stutter. stupid, he cursed to himself.
"is there anything you want to tell me?" phil asked. and dan almost told him, with his pleading eyes and pouty face, but he stopped himself just in time.
he looked down, and he could feel the guilt crawling up his back. without saying a word, dan shook his head. phil stared at him for a little bit too long, before he uttered 'fine' and left them in silence.
phil cleared his throat.
"uhm, you know you can tell me anything, alright?"
"yeah yeah, i know phil," dan shrugged the sentence away, and he coughed a little.
"you've been coughing a lot lately. are you okay? do you ne-"
"i'm fine, phil," dan cut him off, and he could almost see the glint in phil's eyes falter a little.
they said nothing afterwards.
