Summary: Dan is a clueless nerd and Phil is determined...yeah....i guess.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phil is out of ideas. He has tried everything to go on a date with Dan! Cheesy pick up lines, constant flirting anything you can think of and nothing has worked. Phil is almost deflated but he has always been a persistant person. He just doesn't understand what he is doing wrong?
Dan walks into the campus library and takes his seat next to Phil, like they do everyday. Phil doesn't even really want to study neccesarrily or read but Dan is here and wants to and it became their routine and he isn't going to stop it now. 

"Hi Dan!" Phil always intoduces himself a bit enthusiastically and Dan is surprised they have never been yelled at for being so loud.

"Hello Philip." Dan adjusts his seat and sets down his books and cup of coffee down neatly.

"Dan, you don't have to call me Philip, that's so formal." Phil tried with a big smile and puts his hand on Dan's shoulder and gives it a light squeeze. Dan seems unfazed as he flips through his text book looking for a certain chapter that they are covering in class. Phil visibly slumps and grabs his book and they start on their studying.

"So, Dan, I was wondering if you wanted to go get some coffee or something after this?" He put on his most charming smile, he hasn't asked a lot of people out in his life but he knew how, or, so he thought.  Dan crinkled his eyebrows in confusion.

"I already have a coffee." He motioned over to his coffee cup and looked at him like he was silly for asking such a question. "Oh-oh yeah," Phil strained out a laugh and hit his head jokingly with his hand, "What was I thinking?"  He managed a smile out of Dan and Phil is taking it. One battle won, now he just needs to win the war.

"You are very strange Phil Lester."

"Sorry, I know."

"No no, it's okay." Dan blushed and Phil is thinking he is actually really close to winning the war.

----------------------

"Hey Dan!"

"Phil you are going to get us kicked out one of these days, please quite down." Dan responded in a hushed whisper as he sat down. "and hello."

"You worry too much." Phil said and moved a stray strand of hair out of Dan's eyes subconsciously. He wasn't mad at his instincts because Dan blushed and        mumbled about needed something out of his bag. He watched him pull out a napkin and a muffin, along with some coffee in a thermos.

"Do you wanna go out for dinner-"

"I have food right here, silly."

"Man, oh man, I wonder how I keep missing that, I am silly aren't I?" Phil said, trying to keep the sarcasm out of it. Dan giggled and nodded. Then they started their studying.

--------------------------------

"Dan!"

"Phil....you get louder each week!"

"I just get excited when I see you." Phil tries, hoping for at least a blush.
He is rewarded, with a pale flush running from Dan's cheeks to his neck.

Phil catches Dan's personal book out of the corner of his eye. "What book are you reading?"

"Oh, uhh, some romance novel I think. It was a gift and I am not very far in."

"Not a romance fan?"

"Well, not of romance books I guess, they are just....." He trailed off not knowing how to explain what he thought of them.
