just imagine him looking at you like that im emotional

PJ mentioned that he was going to surprise you at the airport, but you didn't actually think he'd go through with it. He stated that he wanted to meet up as soon as you've arrived home so you could talk about what happened, and you not wanting to hurt his feelings agreed sheepishly.

"I-I came here to surprise Y/N, why do you look like you're about to rip my head off?" PJ held his hands up in confusion, eyebrows furrowed. Dan turned to you with an unreadable expression, coming to realization that you didn't inform PJ yet. You should have expected this to happen once things were finally starting to fall into place.

"Right, well I'll be on my way then." Dan nodded his head towards you dully before stuffing his hands in his pockets and making his way towards Phil, Louise, and a few of their other friends Jack Howard and Dean Dobbs who were also on the flight with you. Louise shot you a look as if to leave with them, but you felt like you've lost all control of your body and were completely stiff in place.

"What was that about?" PJ's eyes went wide as a humorous smile played on his lips, not taking the situation as serious as you thought he would.

As much as you didn't want to admit it, you did miss PJ. A lot.

Now would be perfect to tell him about you and Dan.

"I don't know, maybe it's just the jet lag kicking in." You let out a nervous laugh, mentally scolding yourself for not telling him. Why were you holding back?

"Alright shall we go then?" He dropped his eye into a wink, lazily wrapping an arm around you.

This was not going to go well.

PJ was pitching a bunch of new ideas for short films and asked for your opinion on them as you sat opposite of him in his bedroom. You loved every single idea of course, PJ's creativity never failed to surprise you. On the other hand, Dan has been blowing up your phone ever since you've arrived at PJ's apartment and you were trying your hardest not to look at what he said. You knew he was furious and it was the last thing you wanted to deal with right now.

"Y/N do you mind if we talk about what happened?" PJ let out a frustrated sigh, hesitantly making eye contact with you.

Finally, the moment you've been dreading.

"Yeah, of course." You shifted, looking down into your lap. You've never felt so unprepared in your entire life.

"Did you feel anything from that kiss?" His voice was quivering, tapping his fingers along the edge of his bed.

You couldn't just lie to his face, but for the sake of yours and Dan's relationship it would be inappropriate to admit to it.

Then again, hurting PJ might be the worst thing you could ever do.

"Y-Yes." You're earning massive brownie points from Dan right now.

"Why are you with Dan then and not me?" He spoke mindlessly, both of your faces paling instantaneously.

That's when you lost it.

"I-I was going to tell you eventually I just didn't know how to do it without hurting your feelings." You rambled, fighting for air.

"No Y/N you didn't tell me because you know that deep down there's a part of you that likes me, too." He tried persuading, scooting towards you. You stood up cautiously, vigorously shaking your head.

You were not going to give in like this, Dan was too much of a priority.

"Stop it! You can't just intrude out of nowhere like this knowing that I just got into a relationship and make things even more complicated than they already are, these past few weeks have been eventful enough." You pointed at him, tears threatening to spill.

"I just want to be with you, is that so hard to ask?" His voice was shallow, rubbing his face.

"Yes it actually is because I can't nor want to be with you PJ!" You snapped, the regret already starting to sink in.

The look he gave you after that sentence stung you, but you continued to play off as unaffected. It was for the best, what was happening between you two was unhealthy and you couldn't let it get in the way of you and Dan.

"You should go." PJ cleared his throat, leading the way to the door to show you out.

You dragged your feet across the floor, stopping to look into his eyes apologetically. He only glanced at you quickly with a clenched jaw, then towards the door.

"I'm sor-"

Before you could finish the door was slammed in your face, making you a bit lightheaded.

There goes another friendship.

After reading through Dan's redundant amount of texts, you decided to ring him. It was pointless since you were already sat outside his door, but just to make sure he wasn't pissed off you played it safe.

"My god I was genuinely worried that you were dead you always text back within an hour." Dan picked up after the second ring, sounding a bit congested.

"You're not mad at me?"

"Course' not, I really didn't want to be portrayed as the nauseously cheesy boyfriend, but you're supposed to trust your significant other right?" He chuckled lightly, already knowing there was a victorious grin on his face with the mention of the word 'boyfriend'. It was adorable seeing him so proud of himself.

"Well that's a relief because I'm sort of outside your door right now."

"You little stalker." Dan cooed jokingly, hearing the pads of his feet against the floor.

You were met with a teary eyed Dan, not hesitating to immerse him in a hug.

"I'm sorry I didn't follow after you, I just really needed to sort things out with PJ." You explained, only for him to squeeze you more tightly than you thought was possible.

"Oh be quiet, I'm just happy you came here Phil hasn't even bothered to stop home yet so I've just been laying in the hallway drowning in my negative thoughts and being lonesome." Dan sulked, twirling your hair with his finger.

"Why don't we go out tonight?" You held your breath, only resulting you two to bust out into hysterics.

"I'll order up a pizza, go pop in Mario Kart and grab a few blankets." He pecked you on the lips before pressing the phone to his cheek as he had the pizza place on speed dial.

You smiled giddily, speeding to get everything set up. You had a feeling nights like these were going to become a ritual.

"You are a bloody cheater!" Dan bounced the remote off the sofa, landing into the leftover box of pizza that you've mostly devoured.

"Or maybe I'm just finally better than you at something." You clarified, pounding your fists against your chest.

"Well that was only 50cc, that's nothing." He cried out, mocking your actions.

One thing you've learned about Dan tonight was that he was extremely competitive and when he got competitive, his language was rather colorful.

"Just face it, I am the Mario Kart master." You started to sound cocky, but only for his reaction.

Once his eye started to twitch you couldn't help but to outburst, entertained by how wild he was acting.

"Come on then, we'll play at 150cc show me what you got motherfucker!" Dan screeched, ripping the remote from your hand and restarting the game.

"You're causing such a huge scene right now." Your laughter decreased once the words left your mouth, his lips curving into a smirk. "Dan don't you dare-"

"This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race."

"Okay, we're done goodbye." You started to get up from your positon, only to be tugged on and land on top of him.

"Well this is a familiar position." Dan smirked as you scrunched your nose, slapping him on the chest roughly.

"I'm not talking about that you vile dirty minded weirdo, I'm talking about the time we made that baking video when I pulled you on top of me and we sort of just sat there like the two hormonal adults we are." Dan laughed, wiggling his eyebrows.

"And then Phil barged in on us as he does often." You rolled your eyes, letting out a mellow dramatic sigh.

"Yeah, he's honestly the biggest cock block known to exist."

You spent the rest of the night happily playing endless games of Mario Kart, the two of you tying as a result. Dan wasn't thrilled with this, but learned to forgive and forget.

As you two were wearily chatting, you checked your phone quickly noticing a text from someone you least expected.

pj; i hope you know that im going to fight for you and you cant change my mind.

"Wow I'm invisible to my own girlfriend now I have reached a new low." Dan snapped you out of the sudden shock you were in, placing your phone down and curling beside him.

"Sorry, I just feel a bit ill." To be specific, you felt sick to your stomach and it was all thanks to PJ Liguori.
