"lets get home, come on Phil. We haven't got all night"

A small sigh

I look around the studio once more, just to check we've definitely cleaned everything up. It was Sunday night. we had finished the radio show, no longer than half an hour ago and Dan was desperate to get home. Honestly, I wouldn't mind getting home as quickly as possible too.

I had majorly messed up on the radio show

I knew everyone was laughing at me. I'm such an idiot, no wonder Dan is everybody's favourite.

"fine, let's go"

I say quietly as I follow Dan out of the studio.

"you okay?"

He asks gently, placing a hand on my shoulder as we walk towards the main doors.

"I'm fine"

"but-"

A loud noise that makes me jump

fan girls

Of course, they're here for Dan, he's their favourite.

They pretend to like me

Pretend to care

But they don't

They all hug him and give him lots of presents. I force a smile as some girls come up to me and ask for hugs. I hug the last girl tightly, squeezing her harder than I probably should have. She gave me a worried look but soon smiled and said her goodbyes. I grinned as I waved them off.

They were soon gone

The fake smile disappeared

"come on then"

As soon as we arrived home I hurried off to my room and flopped onto the bed.

I'm such an idiot

I lay there, my head buried into my pillow as several tears began to soak into the fabric.

"Phil?"

Dan came in the room and set something down on the bedside table.

A small creak

He's on the bed now, slowly petting my head, hoping to comfort me in some sort of way.

"you're not okay, are you?"

I bit my lip, trying my hardest to nod my head

But I didn't

I shook it

I hear him sigh and he lightly pulls at me shoulder

"come on, sit up"

I sit up and wipe my eyes, sniffling softly as I look into his eyes

"I messed up Dan"

He smiles softly, letting a small laugh pass his lips

"is this what this is about? Really?"

"…yes"

I sob softly, bringing my hands up to my face as I cry into my hands

"whoa, Phil. come here"

He pulls me into his arms, holding me tightly. He gently rubs my back, making small soothing sounds to try calm me down.

It works

I stop crying, pulling away slightly to look into his eyes again

He smiles

"it's fine Phil, really it is. Remember how I messed up the other week while you were away?"

I nod, a small smile tugging at my lips

"everyone laughed at me and teased me about it, but you know. I just laughed along with them"

I just blinked at him

Then I cringed slightly, okay, a lot

Getting so upset over something so tiny

What is wrong with me?

"thanks"

I said softly as I kept my eyes locked with his

"no problem"

He answered, giving me one last tight squeeze before letting go and standing up

He walk towards then stopped

He turned towards me

That grin

That cheeky little grin only meant one thing

"oh, by the way Phil. I found it absolutely adorable your reaction when you messed up"

I blushed a dark shade of red as I picked up Totoro and threw him at Dan

He laughed loudly as he narrowly dodged it and ran through to the living room

It only then occurred to me that he had placed something down when he came in. I looked to my side to see a cup of tea in my favourite mug and a little note beside that simply read:

Cheer up grumpy, you don't look cute when you don't smile

I giggled to myself, hugging one of the larger lion plush's on my bed tightly to my chest

"I love you"

I said, more to the lion than to the boy who I had meant it to

"love you too"

I heard as I looked up to see Dan smiling at me from the door way

He sure was an idiot but I was surely falling for that idiot.
