Based on this post (and yes, I know it's on my blog, which was not intentional): post/102753192561/polaroidphan-wait-but-just-imagine-them-awake

Also I'm not very educated in the "differences between American English and British English" department so if there's any kind of mistake in there please do not hesitate to tell me.

Okay I'm literally just talking to myself here no one is going to read this but whatever, let's get started!

Phil let out a happy chuckle, lying back on his checkered bedspread. He and Dan had had a bit too much coffee in the evening and had decided to have a little 3am chat in Phil's room. It had started out with the usual anime and video games talk, typical daily activities, plans for future videos.

But now that the late night-ness was setting in, Dan's sleep deprived brain was doing down a dark rabbit hole. He brought his knees up close to his chest, wrapped his long arms around them, and looked up at the ceiling. "Hey Phil?" Phil looked towards him, and happy smile still on his lips, his deep blue eyes twinkling. "Why do you suppose we're here? How do our meaningless existences matter in the giant void that is our universe?"

Phil, still lying down with his arms behind his head, frowned slightly. He could see that this wasn't going to be a very happy conversation. "Um, Dan? You okay? You should probably get to bed now…"

Dan ignored his flatmate's suggestion, his eyes still plastered to the ceiling, becoming more and more distressed and scared. "I mean, we're all going to die, why are we even here? What does it matter if we're successful or not? Nothing matters because we're all going to die one day, so what's the point?"

At this point Dan's breathing had picked up and he started to curl up into himself, his eyes wide and terrified. Phil hated when he got like this, it was so different to the usual confident and outgoing Dan. He very softly brought his hand to the back of Dan's neck and softly pulled his head down so it was against Phil's chest. Dan began to calm down and loosen up as soon as he heard the soothing mixture of Phil's heartbeat and breathing. His own breathing began to even out as he finally fell asleep, cuddled into Phil's side. Phil smiled sweetly and he stared into Dan's peaceful sleeping face. He brushed Dan's hair back and placed a soft kiss on his best friend and boyfriend's head. He whispered a small "good night, my lovely Danosaur" before closing his eyes and dropping off to sleep himself.

Haha, did someone order the clichéd topic with the side of overused idea? Anyway that link at the top is really just for the beginning of the story, what really inspired it was my own late-night thoughts and this little prompt I thought of after seeing the post. *ahem* "No but like they're talking and the Dan starts to get scared/have an existential crisis and is like curing up all scared and Phil can see it and he really slowly moves his hand to the back of Dan's head and softly pulls Dan down so he's like cuddling into Phil's chest and he calms down from listening to heartbeat/breathing and he falls asleep like that and Phil just smiles at the utterly peaceful look on Dan's face and kisses his forehead and AGGGGGGGGGHHHH PHEELS"

Well I guess that's it. First fanfiction yay! Feel free to leave criticism as they will probably be very useful in improving my writing
