Chapter one-Anime and deep chats
"So thanks for watching guys give the video a thumbs up and I'll see you in the next video." Phil said smiling and enthusiastic as always. He turned off the camera and sighed with relief another video filmed for the channel. Suddenly Dan walked in holding the remote and repeating "Death note" over and over. "Alright, alright make the popcorn I'll set up the t.v." Dan skipped off to the kitchen whilst Phil dragged his exhausted body to the living room, he wanted nothing more than to sleep. But Dan wanted to spend time with him so he didn't argue. Dan came into the lounge holding a bowl of popcorn and with a grin on his face. "All set up?" Dan said.
"Ready to go." Phil said, trying to sound awake though he knew it was pointless.
"Good good." Dan said jumping onto the sofa next to Phil. As the Death Note episode came to an end Phil cuddled into Dan and drifted off into unconsciousness.
When Phil awoke he was in his own bed lying next to Dan hearing his heavy breathing, he was asleep. Phil drew back the covers and he was still fully dressed save for his shoes of course. He got up and walked towards the kitchen to get a drink. Feeling tired again Phil returned to bed but when he got there Dan was awake. "Sorry did I wake you up?" Phil said apologetically.
"Yeah but it's okay." Dan replied sounding very tired.
"Oh sorry." Phil said stepping into bed next to him.
"Hey Phil can we talk for a while." Dan said although he was really tired.
"Yeah of course what's up?" Phil asked concerned, Dan only talked to him this late if it was important or urgent. "Nothing much just not feeling to good." He replied turning over to face Phil. "What happened?"
"Just everything is getting too much ya know YouTube, meeting fans, our tour, the book. Don't get me wrong you know I love our job and our fans are the best, but it feels like there is always a lot of pressure on us to be more, to make everyone happy." Dan said biting his lip trying not to cry.
"I know Dan but you don't have to put that on you, it's not your responsibility to please everyone. That's impossible, just focus on what makes you happy and proud, the phandom loves you for you, don't try to be someone you're not." Phil said, he always knew just what to say to make Dan smile again. "Thanks Phil, I don't know what I'd do without you."
"I'll never leave you Dan," He paused, "I love you, don't you forget that." Phil said and even though they said it to each other all the time, this time he knew that Dan really appreciated it. "I love you too Phil." Dan replied and turned back over, tears rolling down his cheeks as he knew they both meant it.
