Just a short crappy thing because I'm in a free period and am kind of bored so I decided to try and write something.

Phil heard a muffled profanity so he lifted his head up. At first he was slightly agitated that someone had interrupted his peaceful reading time but the agitation immediately vanished when his eyes laid upon another man. He was laying on the ground, his face bright red from either embarrassment or pain (or maybe both?).

"Are you okay?" Phil questioned, placing his book on the bench beside him and getting up to help the stranger. The fact that the bench could have been wet or dirty didn't even cross his mind.

"Yeah." The other muttered yet another profanity as he took Phil's hand and pulled himself up.

"Do you need-"

"I'm fine, okay? I've literally just grazed my knee."

"Okay."

"The only thing even mildly damaged is my ego. I literally just tripped over my own feet in public. To make it even better, it was in front of a very attractive man..."

Phil let out a loud laugh at that before looking around to see he was the only person in sight. "You- You think I'm attractive?"

Another profanity under his breath.

"For the record, you're not too bad yourself."

"Thanks..."

"I'm Phil, by the way."

"Dan." Dan went to turn away but Phil spoke up again, making him stay in his position.

"You're not from around here. You have a different accent."

"Nope. I'm from a bit further south. Just visiting an old friend. I really like Manchester so far though: it's a lovely city."

"Right. Anyways, I better let you go do more tourist-y things."

"Okay." Dan felt slightly disappointed that he'd never see Phil again but he made no effort to ask for his number or anything. He started to walk away until Phil yelled his name again. Hopeful he'd make a friend, he turned back.

"Enjoy the rest of your trip!"

"Thank- wait. Was that a pun?"

Dan was scrolling through his YouTube recommendations when a new channel popped up.

AmazingPhil.

He clicked into it, opening up the man's most recent video.

Dan could have sworn he recognised him... but why?

He shook it off, assuming it was nothing.

I've probably asked this question before but I'm going to ask it again: what are your hobbies?

I obviously like writing. Lately I've been getting more into drawing too (I posted some of my drawings in my Randomness book if you want to see them #spon) and, although I'm not good at it, I enjoy it! That's it though for my hobbies. I don't enjoy much these days :p
