It had been just a normal day for PJ. He had gotten up early on Saturday like he did every morning. PJ didn't like to sleep in. He never liked wasting the day in the bed. He'd gotten dressed, cleaned up and got ready for the day. He made himself some coffee and then he sat down at his desk in his bedroom. The first thing he always did in the morning was check his Youtube channel and check comments on his latest videos, and sometimes he replied to a few comments.
PJ had uploaded a new vlog on his second channel on Youtube. PJ had never vlogged like this before, not properly anyways. This was PJ's first time vlogging at an event. PJ had only vlogged this time because he had just been to Summer in the City and he thought it would be cool to vlog since he was going to be hanging out with a bunch of his Youtube friends and he figured that some of his subscribers would like that, or he hoped that they would like it.
PJ sighed as he logged onto Youtube. He immediately went to the vlog that he had put up yesterday before he went to bed. PJ smiled as he read some of the comments. They were mostly positive and everybody seemed to like the fact that PJ had vlogged. He had never done it before. It wasn't until he started seeing many comments about his friends, Dan and Phil. PJ's eyes went wide with shock when he realized what was going on.
"Oh God. Oh no! This can't be happening," PJ said as he read some of the comments.
OH MY GOD WAS THAT DAN AND PHIL MAKING OUT? PHAN IS REAL!?
PHAN MAKING OUT MY LIFE IS MADE! ASDFJKLJDFLSf
I KNEW PHAN WAS REAL! I KNEW IT ALL ALONG! They are so cute together 333
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FILMING THIS PJ OMG! PHAN IS REAL!
THIS IS THE CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN! PHAN IS JUST SOOO CUTE! :D
PJ reviewed his vlog and realized that he had accidentally filmed Dan and Phil 'making out' while he had been vlogging the view of Summer in the City. PJ immediately felt guilty. Dan and Phil had been dating each other for two years and they specifically didn't want their subscribers to know about their relationship. Some of their subscribers could get a little bit crazy when it came to Dan and Phil. Now PJ had ruined everything for them.
PJ didn't know what to do at this point. He couldn't delete the video because it already had so many views. There were probably millions of gifs already of Dan and Phil kissing on tumblr anyways. The only thing PJ was terrified about was Dan and Phil hating him for exposing their relationship. PJ reached over and grabbed his phone and called his boyfriend, Chris. Chris was also good friends with Dan and Phil so maybe he would know what to do.
"Hey, love," Chris said when he answered the phone. Normally, PJ would be smiling and maybe even blushing after hearing Chris say that but he was so freaked out and worried that he didn't even care. All he cared about was the fact that he had exposed Dan and Phil's relationship.
"Chris, I've done something really bad and I need help," PJ said.
"Hello to you too. I'm fine, thanks for asking," Chris replied.
PJ rolled his eyes. "Chris, I'm being serious! I filmed Dan and Phil kissing in my new vlog and everybody's seen them and everybody's freaking out in the comments," he said.
"I know. I've seen it this morning. Everybody's going absolutely mental now," Chris said.
"What the fuck am I gonna do? Dan and Phil didn't want their subscribers to know!" PJ yelled.
"Um… well, I might have made things worse," Chris said.
PJ groaned. "Oh God. What did you do?" PJ asked nervously.
"I replied to someone saying that they were dating," Chris said.
PJ gasped. "Chris! Why would you do that? They're gonna kill us! Well, they're mostly gonna kill me because it was my vlog but still! They're going to be so mad," he whined.
Chris sighed. "I know! I felt so bad about tweeting it earlier. That's why I immediately deleted that tweet but I'm pretty sure someone has screen-shotted it," he said.
"Oh my God. They're going to kill us. They're going to kill us." PJ whispered.
"Wait, do they not know about the video yet?" Chris asked.
"Not yet, I don't think they know about it yet. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not but Dan definitely would have already called me right now and he would probably be screaming at me if they did know," PJ said. He sighed and shook his head.
"Why don't you just delete the video then?" Chris asked.
"It already has over 100k views, Chris. I'm sure if I go on tumblr then they'll be about a million gifs of them. There would be no point in deleting the video. I was thinking about it but yeah... but it wouldn't even matter if I deleted it," PJ said. He groaned.
"Then you're just going to have to tell them, Peej. They're going to find out sooner or later, whether you like it or not," Chris told him calmly.
PJ sighed, but he knew Chris was right. He was going to have to tell Dan and Phil.
"I'm sure they'll be mad at first but they'll figure something out. They always do," Chris said.
"I guess you're right. I just don't want them to hate me," PJ said.
Chris couldn't help but chuckle at PJ. "Come on, now..." He said.
"Chris! I'm being serious. I don't want them to hate me," PJ whined.
"They're not going to hate you, okay Peej? Just talk to them and explain that it was an accident and I'm sure they'll understand. I have to go. I'll come over later," Chris said.
"Okay. Text me when you're on your way," PJ said.
"Will do. Love you, and good luck with all that..." Chris said.
PJ sighed and then he hung up on Chris. PJ bit his lip nervously as he stared at his phone for a few seconds before he finally called Dan. PJ had never been so nervous in his life. "He's going to kill me. He's going to kill me." PJ mumbled as he waited for Dan to pick up.
"Peej? What the hell are you calling me so early for?" Dan asked when he picked up the phone.
"Oh, so you haven't been online yet?" PJ asked.
"Not yet. I've not even gotten out of bed yet. Why?" Dan asked.
"Um, well… you're going to kill me. Fact of the day," PJ said.
"Okay. I'd like to know why I'm going to kill you?" Dan asked.
PJ groaned. "I really don't want to say this but you're going to find out later anyways. Um, well... everybody knows about you and Phil. They know about you guys," PJ mumbled.
"Everybody knows about what? What the hell did you do, Peej?" Dan yelled.
"I didn't mean to do anything! I swear. It was an accident. I didn't even know until this morning, it was in my vlog from Summer in the City. I didn't realize until I just watched it back. There's a split second of you and Phil kissing and everybody's seen it," PJ explained.
"Oh my God. This can't be happening. How many people have seen it?" Dan asked.
"The vlog has over 100k views already. I've just checked it. I only just uploaded it last night. I…I can delete the vlog if you want…" PJ started to say. Dan let out a sigh, and PJ could just feel that he was upset. "I'm really sorry, Dan… I didn't mean..." PJ tried to say.
"Don't bother. Just… don't do anything. You've done enough," Dan snapped.
"Dan…" PJ started to say. But, Dan hung up on him.
~Dan & Phil's apartment~
"Dan?" Phil asked as he walked into Dan's bedroom. "What was with all the yelling?" Phil asked.
Dan was now sitting up in his bed. Dan wasn't upset with PJ, not really. Dan was only upset that now everybody knew about his and Phil's relationship. He didn't want to blame PJ but really… it was PJ's fault. Dan had immediately gotten online after he ended the call with PJ. Dan was now on Youtube and he was reading comments on PJ's vlog. Dan was annoyed and frustrated and he couldn't believe this was actually happening. He and Phil had worked so hard to keep their relationship a secret and now suddenly it was all over the internet? They didn't want this.
"Dan?" Phil asked as he walked over to the bed. Dan still didn't look at him or say anything, which worried Phil. Phil crawled onto the bed next to him. He glanced over to see what Dan was looking at. "What are you doing?" Phil asked curiously.
"Everybody knows. They know about us, Phil," Dan said. Phil immediately looked at Dan.
"Who knows about us?" Phil asked.
Dan sighed and then he finally looked over at him. "Everybody! People on the internet. Our subscribers. They all know!" Dan yelled angrily.
"Who told them? I didn't say anything," Phil said.
Dan shook his head. "I know you didn't say anything. PJ did," he said.
"PJ?!" Phil yelled. He stared at him with shock.
"Well, he didn't mean to. He accidentally filmed us in his vlog and we were kissing at Summer inthe City. The one time the man decides to vlog. Really?" Dan asked.
Phil groaned. "Well, great. Now what are we going to do?" He asked.
Dan shook his head again. "We have to tell them the truth, obviously. I don't want to and I know that you don't want to either but we can't cover that up. We were kissing. It would have been different if we were just holding hands or something but..." He began to say.
"What if we just tell them it was a prank or something?" Phil suggested. Dan rolled his eyes.
"Because that went so well with the Valentine's Day video," Dan snapped.
"Oh, right. I almost forgot about that," Phil mumbled.
Dan bit his lip. "I'm sorry for snapping. I'm just really annoyed right now," he apologized.
Phil nodded. "So, what are we going to do about this?" He asked curiously.
Dan bit his lip and looked over at Phil.
A couple of days have now passed since everybody has found out about Dan and Phil's relationship. Everything has been absolutely crazy since the internet had found.
PJ hadn't spoken to either of them since his last phone call with Dan and he was still terrified that they were angry with him and that they hated them when they really didn't. Dan and Phil had just been busy figuring out what they were going to do.
PJ sighed as he sat at his desk and stared at his computer screen. Chris was lying on PJ's bed and was on his phone. PJ was currently going through Youtube right now but he stopped as soon as he saw that there was a notification from danisnotonfire. PJ bit his lip nervously before he clicked Dan's profile. He groaned when he saw that Dan had uploaded a video called 'Our Coming Out Video'. He felt so bad that Dan and Phil had to make a video about their relationship. They shouldn't have to make a video at all, but they did.
Chris looked up at PJ and raised his eyebrows. "You alright over there?" He asked.
PJ looked over at him. "No, I'm not okay... Dan uploaded," PJ said.
"Really? Didn't he just upload a couple days ago?" Chris asked as he sat up.
"I think they've told the subscribers about their relationship," PJ told him.
"Well…" Chris stood up from the bed. "We'll watch together." He said.
PJ smiled as he watched Chris walk over to him. PJ reached up and then he pulled Chris down on his lap. Chris smiled and he gently leaned back against PJ. PJ bit his lip nervously before he finally clicked on Dan's video and then he turned the volume up.
"Hey internet! I know you're all probably thinking 'What the fuck Dan? You uploaded four days ago! Two videos in week?' Well, today's video is going to be a little different as I have a very special guest with me today…" Dan pointed to his side, where Phil was sitting.
"Hey guys!" Phil said as he waved to the camera.
Dan smiled and looked back at the camera. "This isn't a normal danisnotonfire video, this is just a quick update video, so they'll be another video soon but um... something's come up the past week and we've been trying to figure out how we were going to address it," Dan explained. Phil nodded but remained silent, so Dan continued. "That's why we've been a little quiet lately," Dan added. He sighed. "As some of you know… our friend, kickthepj…"
"Well, at least he said 'friend'." Chris said as he looked over at PJ. PJ smiled slightly.
"I guess that's a plus. It's so obvious that they don't want to film this…" PJ mumbled.
"Uploaded a little vlog a couple of days ago on his second channel and you might have seen a quick clip of me and Phil… basically you saw me and Phil making out, to put it simply."
"That's one way to put it," Phil said, laughing.
Dan chuckled. "Anyways… we really didn't want to say anything to any of our subscribers. We didn't want to tell you guys. But… there's no way we could get around this. Trust me, we sat for hours to think of something but we just couldn't find our way around this." HE said.
"What Dan is trying to say is that we're in a committed relationship, and we didn't want to tell any of our subscribers. We've only told our friends and family." Phil said, cutting Dan off. Dan nodded and looked at Phil. "We've been together for two years. We just didn't feel like we had to tell you guys because it's our relationship and we wanted to keep it a secret because we thought that it would be better for our relationship. But, now you guys know." Phil said.
"Yeah. That's basically it. We're gay for each other," Dan said jokingly.
Phil laughed and rolled his eyes playfully. "But we're still the same dorky people you know and love. This doesn't change anything. We're still going to make separate youtube videos and maybe we'll film some more together if that's what you want," he said.
Dan nodded. "That's all we wanted to tell you guys. So, go ahead and fangirl. Phan is real you guys! Throw a party. Go crazy, but not too crazy..." He said.
"This is the last time we're going to address this topic but we just wanted to clear the air so yeah, me and Dan are in a relationship. Oh, and also, we're filming another video for my channel so click my face if you wanna go watch it." Phil said as he pointed towards his face.
"Oh, and PJ… if you're watching this or if you plan on watching this… we totally don't hate you or anything for exposing our relationship. I'm really sorry for how the phone call ended but you know, I'm not a morning person at all," Dan said.
Phil chuckled. "Yeah, you're still our best friend!" Phil said.
Dan nodded. "Okay, we'll see you guys later. Bye!" They both waved to the camera.
PJ sighed in relief when the video ended.
Chris smiled as he looked down at PJ. He was about to say something but he stopped when they both heard knocking at the door. PJ blinked a few times and looked up at Chris.
"I wasn't expecting anyone to come over today. Who on Earth could that be?" PJ asked. Chris stood up so PJ could stand up. Chris followed PJ out of the bedroom. PJ walked down the hallway and over to the door. He reached over and opened the door. He looked up and was surprised to see Dan and Phil standing there in front of him.
Dan looked up and smiled when he saw PJ. "Hey," he greeted.
PJ bit his lip nervously as he stared at them. "Hi. I'm surprised you guys are here." he said.
"We weren't planning on coming over but we thought we'd make a surprise visit," Phil said.
"Well, um… did you see our video?" Dan asked. He looked over when Chris walked next to PJ.
"Yeah, we did watch it. We actually literally just watched it a second ago before we heard you guys knocking at the door," Chris said with a smile.
"So, you know we're not mad at you or anything, right?" Phil asked.
"Yeah. I really am sorry. I never meant to expose your relationship," PJ told them.
"Peej, its fine. We could never stay mad at you anyways," Dan assured him.
"Well, I'm glad to hear that. Really, I am. So, do you guys want to come in?" PJ asked.
"Sure, we'd love to. It's a good thing we didn't have any plans today," Phil said. PJ stepped aside and then he let Dan and Phil in. PJ glanced over at Dan, just as Dan looked at him. Dan smiled at him. He reached over and gave PJ a hug. PJ immediately hugged him back.
Phil raised his eyebrows and then he looked over at Chris.
Chris smiled as he watched PJ and Dan. "It just melts your heart, doesn't it?" He asked.
Phil laughed. "You're such a loser," he said. Chris also laughed.
