This isn't my best ever writing but I've already re-written this six times and this is the sixth result and I'm not doing anymore (I need sleep). Review at the end if you want.
DISCLAMER: I don't own Dan or Phil

The Coming Out Video
"Hi internet" Dan smiled at the camera and waved, "I guess you already know what this video is going to be about by the title" he looked away then back at the camera, "I'm going to cut out all the waffle and just say it. I'm gay and don't look at me like that"
Phil could here Dan filming through the wall, as Phil was tiding the hall and he smiled at the words Dan was saying. Of course Phil already knew Dan's secret, he had known since they had met but they didn't discuss the topic much.
"Do you want to hear the whole story? Fine, I'll give it to you. I used to like girls you know…"
Phil zoned out of Dan's talking, seems he already knew the story, and carried on cleaning the hall. When he got to Dan's door he debated going in and saying hi to the camera but it was Dan's video so he chose not to.
"I can see you through the crack in the door Phil" Dan said.
'Sugar' Phil thought then opened the door, "Hi, I'll leave you to the filming"
"Narhh, come in and say hey to them all"
"I've got nothing to say"
Dan just raised his eyebrows at Phil and he blushed in return. Phil did have something to say but he wasn't ready to tell the world, he just wasn't as brave as Dan. Phil was bi and had been for a long time, longer than Dan to be fair. Phil had only ever told Dan and his parents and really didn't want the whole of the internet to know.
"I don't want everyone to know" Phil said calmly.
"Why?" Dan turned on his chair to face Phil who was still standing in the door way.
Phil shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know. I'm just not ready"
"How long have you been bi?"
Phil thought for a second then replied, "Eight years nearly nine"
"How are you not ready?"
Phil sighed, "I'm not as brave as you"
Dan stood up and walked over to Phil so he was standing just in front of him, "I'm sure you are. What's holding you back?"
Phil looked down at the floor, "I don't know"
"Well just come in my video for some moral support?"
Phil nodded and Dan sat back down on his chair and Phil left to get his own chair. When Phil came back Dan was spinning around in a circle on his chair with a smile on his face.
"You look cute when you do that" Phil said without thinking.
Dan stopped spinning around and faced Phil, "Do I?"
Phil nodded and placed his chair next to Dan's and sat on it, "Ready?"
"Yeah" Dan smiled and looked at the camera, "I've bought Phil along for some moral support"
"Hi guys I've got cleaning to do so make it quick" Phil said with a smile and a wave.
Dan pretended to look hurt, "You chose cleaning over me, I'm hurt"
Phil looked over at Dan, "Well I am the only one who will clean it seems you are always too busy sleeping"
Dan smiled, "True. Phil has interrupted my swing of the video now"
"Sorry" Phil said sarcastically, "You invited me in"
Dan carried on with his video and Phil sat with him until the end not really saying much just being there for 'moral support'. At the end Dan turned to Phil.
"When's your next video going to be up?" he asked.
"Don't know, I need an idea first" Phil replied.
"Okay so you'll get a video from Phil in about a week"
"Maybe sooner but I'll go now, bye guys!" Phil waved good-bye and left Dan's bedroom.
Dan ended his video and put the camera away to edit later and went to find Phil in the living room drinking tea.
"I have an idea for your next video Phil" Dan said as he entered the living room.
"What?" Phil asked.
Dan smiled, "Same as me"
"A coming out video?" Phil sighed, "You know I don't want to do one of them"
"Please?"
"Why?"
Dan came and sat next to Phil on the sofa, "You'll feel a lot better after"
"Will I?"
Dan nodded, "I can feel some relief off my shoulders already. It's a good feeling Phil and soon the fact that you are keeping it hidden will just eat at you"
Phil looked away from Dan then back at him, "I'll think about it but no promises"
Dan smiled, "Do it for me?"
Phil sighed, "No"
Dan looked at Phil sharply, "Why not?"
Phil shrugged, "I'm going to go bed" and Phil stood up, left his half empty cup of tea behind and left the living room and shut his bedroom door behind him.
Dan sat in silence for ten minutes before getting up and going to knock on Phil's door.
"Phil?" Dan asked through the door, "Are you still awake?"
Dan heard a sniff and a loud gulp. Phil was crying. He tested the door knob and it moved so he turned it fully and opened the door. Phil was lying in his bed in a ball cuddling a couple of his lions with his head and eyes in one of them.
"Phil?" Dan whispered.
"Go away" Phil sniffed.
Dan took another step closer, "I'm not leaving you like this"
"Please?"
He took another step, "No"
Phil gave in and sat up still hugging his lions and Dan came and sat on the end of his bed.
"Do you want to explain?" Dan asked.
Phil looked awkwardly away then back at Dan, "I don't know whether I can"
"Can what?"
"Make a coming out video"
Dan looked at his knees, "Sorry"
"It's not your fault. I've been thinking about it for ages but just never had the courage but I do want to just something is holding me back" Phil explained.
Dan looked up and over to Phil, "What is?"
"I'm scared of getting hate and stuff because well, my sexuality is my weakness. If someone wants to get to me then they just tease me about that and I'll crumble. That's why I won't make one because I don't want the hate" Phil finished with tears in his eyes.
Dan fell silent for a moment picking his words then said, "If you do make a video I'll do it with you. I just want you to know Phil that whatever people say I'm always going to be here for you no matter what. Who needs homophobic haters when you have people who love and care for you? If you get hate just come straight to me and I can hug you until everything is okay and I can do something about the haters. I'm sure there will be loads of people who except you because people love you for your personality not you you'd prefer to bang" Dan giggled to himself, "Be brave Phil because I know you are. It's time to take the big leap into the outside world and tell them who you truly are"
Phil looked at Dan gobsmacked and speechless, Dan doesn't often come out with speeches like that. Phil jumped across his bed and flung his arms around Dan's shoulders, "Thanks bear"
Dan smiled and returned the hug, "It's what I'm here for"
Phil released Dan from the hug and looked over at him with a slight blush on his checks, "Dan?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I tell you something?"
"Sure. I'm here to listen"
"Well it's about you" Phil said then looked awkwardly started fiddling with one of his lion's tails, "I've sort of had this feeling about you that wasn't friendship for a few months now, I think it's five months tomorrow, and I um- just wanted to tell you"
Dan smiled at Phil, "I love you too Phil"
Phil looked up, "I'm being serious"
"So am I" Dan replied.
Phil started at Dan, "Really?"
Dan whispered, "I'd never lie to you"
Phil looked at Dan's chocolate brown eyes then his own blue ones flickered down to look at Dan's lips for a second then back into Dan's eyes.
Dan smiled and said, "You're too slow" and leant forward and kissed Phil.
Phil kissed him back instantly; he'd been waiting too long for this feeling. The kiss was short and sweet but meant the world to both of them. Phil stared into Dan's eyes after they broke apart.
"Phil?" Dan asked.
Phil hummed back.
Dan smiled, "Will you be my boyfriend?"
Phil's face lit up and Dan could see stars in his eyes as Phil replied with the answer Dan had been dreaming of for years, "Yes" Phil whispered.
Dan smiled again, "Well are you ready to come out to the world"
Phil nodded, "As long as you're by my side"
"Always" Dan replied softly.
Okay I'm happy with the sixth attempt and I now need lots of sleep (I'm really tired for some unknown reason).
Would anyone like the idea if I wrote a chaptered Dan and Phil fanfic maybe about them being at school together and Phil being the new kid? It would be about 10-15 chapters long if I did one.
