Hey guys! So this is my first ever fanfiction so sorry if this is really terrible or whatever. I just had an idea because i love creative writing and i though hey, why not make this idea into a fanfiction about Dan and Phil (my two favourite youtubers!) so i created an account and here we are! I doubt i'll get any views but if you like this story please leave a comment.
Thanks :)
Dan stared at himself in the mirror and nervously smoothed out his top and combed his hair. "Dan!" Dan's flatmate Phil was calling him "I'll be a sec Phil hold on" He took a final look in the mirror and left his room to go meet Phil downstairs.
"Dan, where are going again?" Phil asked as they began walking down the stairs. "Oh just around London I guess, I thought it would be fun to do an updated version of the day in the life" Dan responded. Phil clearly had no idea what the real reason was. Dan hoped everything would go to plan, he had spent ages planning it. They made a quick stop at Starbucks and then walked to the park, chattering about landmarks and other things they spotted on their way.
Phil was trying to act happy but he was even more nervous than Dan was. He had promised himself he would tell Dan today, no more procrastinating.
The pair arrived at the park, Starbucks coffees in hand and sat down under a large willow tree for a break. "We can stop filming if you want Dan" Phil said. Dan shook his head "we can just edit this out I guess" he replied knowing he would not want to edit this moment out. "What if Phil rejects you?" Dan pushed this thought back into his mind and ran over the speech he had prepared earlier "What if Phil doesn't share your feelings? What if he's straight? What if he hates you?" Dan shook his head, he had been living with Phil forever, and Phil surely wouldn't reject him. He took a deep breath and started.
"P-Phil?"
"Yeah Dan?"
"I have to tell you something"
"So do I"
Dan's eyes widened, what would Phil have to tell him? They told each other everything except for, well this.
"You tell me first Dan"
"A-alright, Phil Lester, from the moment I first saw you in real life at the train station I knew, I knew that I loved you, and no one else" Dan paused to take a breath and his face fell when he saw Phil's reaction. Phil closed his eyes. "Dan, I'm so sorry"
"Why-what why are you sorry? What happened?" Dan was in shock. Was this Phil's way of rejecting him?
Phil took a deep breath and quietly said. "I've been meaning to tell you this for weeks, but I'm moving out"
Dan closed his eyes. This had to be a dream right? There was no other explanation. Dan whispered something barely audible "this can't be happening"
"I-I'm so sorry" Phil choked out as he got up and ran, leaving a distraught Dan alone with the camera and his Starbucks.
Dan sat under the tree with his eyes closed for what felt like hours. He kept replaying the conversation over and over again, Phil surely didn't mean to say that. Why would he even move out? Was it something that Dan said or did? After having an existential crisis under the tree for another hour he finally got up. He packed away the camera and opened his phone. His life was ruined but at least he still had music, and his fans. He set his music to shuffle play and put on his headphones. The first song that came on was 'Not in that way' by Sam Smith. Dan wondered why the hell this song was on his phone when he realized how fitting the lyrics were.
'I'd never ask you cause deep down I'm certain I know what you'd say
You'd say, "I'm sorry, believe me, I love you but not in that way."
When you're not there,
I find myself singing the blues.
Can't bear,
Can't face the truth
Dan breathed out slowly and skipped the song. The next song that played was 'Breaking free' it used to be one of his favourite songs but it reminded him so much of Phil so he sighed and moved onto the next song, and the next, and the next. All of his music reminded him so much of Phil. He decided to shuffle the songs again. The song that came on was 'Fools' by Troye Sivan. Surely this song wouldn't remind him of Phil.
I see swimming pools and living rooms and aeroplanes
I see a little house on the hill and children's names
I see quiet nights poured over ice and Tanqueray
But everything is shattering and it's my mistake
Only fools fall for you, only fools
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
Only fools fall for you, only fools
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
He couldn't even listen to music, what had his life become? He took out his earphones and walked in silence. He only got stopped by fans twice, so that was okay. Thank god the fans didn't realise something was wrong because shit would go down in the phandom if they figured out what happened. He arrived home to a cold, empty house.
