The Real Phan Fic

by Cassandra Delp

What could have been going through Dan's and Phil's minds when nobody was there to screencap it. Dan was a fanboy of Phil's, and with his slightly crazed obsession, he became friends with amazingphil, and sooner or later they became flatmates. Dan is living all of our fangirl dreams. *Ending is undecided*

1. Chapter 1

Dan had just come home from school and as he lay in bed, he can't help to pull out his pathetic laptop and check daily booth . It was his life, he thrived off it, plus it was the only good way to stay in contact with amazingphil. Dan basically was in love with Phil and even though Phil didn't even know that Dan lived, Dan still made his effort to put himself out there. He would comment on all his videos and would even message him every now and again. It was one fateful night when Dan decided to send through as many notifications he can on every social media website he was connected to Phil with. It wasn't until the next day when Phil noticed that he had 104 notifications on YouTube, and a good 75 of them were Dan. So when he checked his inbox to see if the danisnotonfire kid had messaged him, and to no avail there was the message.

Dear amazingphil,

You don't know me, and I don't know if you'll ever even read this, but if you do by chance I just want to know, how was your day? I just want to talk to you, because you've been there for me, when even I couldn't be there for me. You've saved my life a few times, and I appreciate that more than you could ever know. But that's besides the point, I just can't thank you enough, and I hope that you reply to me, since I've been your fan since you've first posted up on YouTube. Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this! :3 ^.^ :]

Phil can't wrap his mind around what he just read. He doesn't know whether to cry because this kid just told him that he looked up to him, that he saved his life. That was something Phil always wanted out of making YouTube videos. Phil wanted to help people, to make people feel happy, to help people smile more often, and here there was proof that he had done his job, finally he's doing what he loves. Phil decided to write him back.

Dear Danisnotonfire,

I just wanted to respond to your amazing email, also it thank you. I thrive for making people smile and it's seriously amazing to know that I've done so much for you, without really doing anything. And my day was okay, I mean I had a few rough patches, but other than that it's been a great week. And thank you so much for sticking through my videos, I mean I know they're not that raw black and white realness that I was selling back then, but it's been a pretty crazy ride this whole YouTube thing. And I hope to hear from you again, you seem really sweet. :3 : ^.^

The day seemed to only drag on and since Dan didn't do anything other than procrastinate, he felt as if he could just call his mum and she could come pick him up from school. Which she did, because she loved Dan so much that he could have never gone to school and she wouldn't mind, she wishes he'd participate more but respects his decisions. Continuing with Dans regular schedule of coming home, plopping onto his bed in his brown bedroom, and checking his social media websites. Which he started with daily booth, he waited for the ever slow internet and when the web page finally loaded, he realized he had a friend request, to his surprise it was Amazingphil. Dans heart raced and his mind wandered. He quickly went to YouTube, where he'd sent Phil the message, quickly checking his dashboard he realized that he had an email, from Phil. His heart pounded and his pulse raised. He clicked his inbox to read the small preview of the new email, 'Dear Danisnotonfire,' was all that showed. He couldn't open it yet, and honestly, he wanted to but his heart wouldn't let him. He's hands started becoming clammy and his hair started to slightly stick to his forehead. 'Oh my god, I'm going to have a heart attack. Oh god local boy dies from youtuber-based heart attack, just great. Alright be a man, just open it up."

Dear Phil,

So I see you've added me to daily booth and I honestly can say I don't think I've hit accept fast enough ^.^ you really are amazing though, it's not just your display name. If I could, message you on daily booth rather than here that would be awesome because the messaging system here kind of blows. But I mean, if you don't even want me talking to you, then I can totally understand. Just let me know, okay? :) thank you Phil, you've seriously made my life. C: ^.^

'Oh Jesus he's not going to talk to me, I'm just some kid who lives in a brown room stalking all of his social media websites. I'm a freak and I honestly don't think he'll ever even talk to me again.' "Daniel, could you help get the cat? He's got to go in for a check up!" "Yeah sure thing mum, just give me a minute." Dan threw on a gray long cardigan and some fuzzy slippers and walked down the stairs to help his mother getting the cat in the car. "Oh thank you Daniel I don't think I could have done it with out you." "Oh mum I'm sure you could have, but thanks anyway." His mum kissed him and said "Please Dan go out and have fun, I can't imagine being cooped up in a small room is good for you. I love you Daniel." She waited in the doorway for his reply. "Okay mum I'll make some plans, and I love you too." "Thank you honey. I'll see you at 18:30 for dinner." "Alright mum, I'll see you then." Dan closed the door and he sighed at once again he's left alone to deal with his life alone and it was these nights that Dan hated the most, they were the ones that his over active mind wheels starts spinning and he begins to think about Phil and how he misses him, and how Dan wishes to actually talk to Phil. Even though Phil's just met him he's known Phil for what seemed a lifetime.

New email. New email. New email.

Came across Phil's desktop computer and weirdly enough Phil's heart dropped to his stomach and he was in a cold sweat. It was kind of if he were in trouble, but he opened Dan's email and began to read.

'He knows I've added him to daily booth, he knows I've viewed all 30 or so photos he's got. He knows." He types into the address bar and hits enter. He sees a few notifications one being from Dan accepting his friend request. He clicked his face to view his profile and clicked on the little envelope that signified a direct message.

Dear Dan,

I hope you don't think I'm weird for messaging you twice in one day. But I just thought I'd let you know that we could defiantly message on daily booth(; and I love talking to you, for what little I have. Have you gone mad?! I honestly don't think you could bore me, you always have something to say, always. I've seen your comments on my videos, I think I've read most of your daily booth captions and might I say your photos are amazing! I'm really not trying to be one of those people, but why do you like me? I mean I'm just some derp in glasses who complains to a camera for hours, I just don't get it. I look forward to talking to you again! :]

'I think I might actually like this kid, we seem to have the same music taste and style, the serious question though, is he bi or gay? I hate to be that guy, but I don't want to assume and make an ass out of myself, but I don't want to be a jerk and ignore his feelings. Ugh am I really ready for this?' Phil gets up from his slanted roof room and grabs a bite from down stairs. Dan is currently playing guitar hero, he seriously has every guitar and bass, he has the drums and three microphones. He believes that with different songs different microphones are needed. Dan has a dark red guitar that only he is aloud to touch, it's his baby, he's never lost a rock battle yet from using Delphox. Yes it's a girl, the only girl who knobs he'll touch, and Dan's the only one who'll touch her knobs. The laptop gives a little ding and Dan jumps from the floor to his bed flopping just in front of the laptop. 'Huh, I wonder who messaged me .' Dan runs his fingers over the overused touch pad and clicked on the message, to much Dan's surprise Phil had messaged him back.

He was excited to know that Phil wanted to talk to him, there was a point where Dan even thought Phil liked him, 'he'd never like someone like me. I'm just a pathetic kid who can't even be bothered to do any real work.' Dan never thought good about himself, yeah he was amazing at guitar hero but that was basically it for him. He never thought a positive thought about himself in years. Dan reads further in Phil's message; he gets to the part where Phil thinks of himself as just a derp in glasses. Dan's heart sunk because Dan loved Phil's glasses, so much so, that Dan wished he'd wear them more often. "Oh he'd gone to make me go off on him isn't he? I basically love everything about this kid and then he has the nerve to call himself a derp. I mean, if anyone is a derp it would be me. I mean have you seen me?!' Dan says to himself.

Dear Phil,

Are you kidding me? You're weird all on your own(; but that's just one of many reasons why I like you. Phil I don't just like you, but I'm not obsessively crazed about you either, there's a happy medium. I love your smile, because I don't know if you notice it, but when you laugh, you tend to stick your tongue out a little. I love your eyes, because I mean who doesn't? But that's just the stuff that's on the outside. Phil I love that you can care about anyone. Someone could be yelling at a chair and you would defend it. I love that you'd rather go the long scenic route than just going straight to a place because you're worried that you'll miss a squirrel. I love that you sit on the floor in all of your videos and when you laugh, you bring your knees up to your chest. And I LOVE your glasses, and you are far from just some derp in glasses, you're compassionate and beautiful and I wish you'd see you the way I see you , because you'd love yourself the way I love you. But I'm just some kid in a bedroom :)

"There that'll teach him! He can't think of himself like that, he's amazing and perfect and uggghhsjsnzudkaleb." Dan said aloud. He normally talks to himself when he has a lot on his mind or when he's sort of angry. He loves Phil like a baby brother, and Dan is the only one aloud to pick on Phil, but if anyone messes with Phil they'll have to talk to Dan. Dan can hear his mom closing the car door downstairs, he closes the laptop and heads down to see if she needs any help.
"So what did you do today Dan?" His mother asked purse and cat carrier in hand. "I talked to a friend and I'm going to try to make plans with him later, see if he's up for it." Dan explains, without giving too much detail, because she doesn't need to know about Phil just yet. "Oh? Do I know him?" His mother looks like she's about to get everything she can about Phil. "Uhm, no probably not. He's doesn't really live in town." Dan rubs the back of his neck waiting for his mom to respond. "Where does he live?" His mom looked at him with an eye brow raised. "Uuuhhhmm Manchester." Worry appeared in her eyes. "Aaaand on that note, I'll just be leaving." Dan said as he was turning towards the stairs. "Oh hold up, could you bring in dinner? It's in the car." His mom hands Dan the car key, and with that Dan was on his way to the car. Inside was a small vet bag and some McDonalds 'yes!' Dan thinks to himself. Grabbing the vet bag in one hand the McDonalds bag in the other he closes the car door and heads inside. He places both bags on the table and reaches into the bag, grabbing two packs of chicken nuggets and heads upstairs.
