Chapter Text
Buck.
That guy at the skating rink was all Philip could think about. Buck was his name, and BOY was he one fine gentleman. Not to mention, Buck worked with Philip at the horse stable.
All Philip could do when he got both himself and Luz home was think about how he clumsy fell on Buck. I mean, can you blame him? Falling on a cowboy who happens to be a silver fox, now THAT'S disgraceful…. BUT HE DIDN’T LIKE HIM IN A GAY WAY…. TRUST!
At supper Philip barely touched his food, which would’ve been normal except it was OLD FASHION HONEY GLAZED SALMON!!!!
That was strike one.
Luz was VERY concerned. So what did she do? She stalked his every move at supper, and then she asked it…..
“Hey dude, are you doing alright? Are you still embarrassed for falling on-” Luz couldn’t even make out a full sentence and Philip started trying to change the topic.
“OH, IT’S NOTHING LUZ!!!!" He smiles like Glam from Metal Family (GO WATCH IT). "Now, let’s focus on school. How are you doing at school?” Philip nervously ask, bouncing his leg and flapping one of his hands a bit. He starts playing with hos food but doesn’t eat any more of it, just a few fries gone.
“Righhhhttt…. School is fine. Mackenzie is still a brat but she’s avoiding me because I told her that I had schizophrenia, since she thinks it's contagious... Somehow. Honestly, I was wondering if I could take school off tomorrow. For a mental health day.” That was the best lie Luz has ever made. Well, both the having schizophrenia thing and saying that she was going to take a mental health day. What she was REALLY doing is try to get her way into seeing the horses that Philip loves. They must be cool.
Little did Luz know that Philip wasn’t just into horses.
“I don’t know if I should leave you by yourself though… That would be dangerous.” Said the twink.
“That didn’t stop you from trying to kill me back then. C’moonnn… Just let me to your woorrkk… PLEEAASEEE????” Luz begged, putting on her best puppy face.
Philip sighed, “Alright. But don’t make a mess of me, my ego is already shattered from… Nevermind.”
That one decision made Philip’s life change.
