So. KickTheFire, I know. :3 Please be nice, I know this couple isn't very popular, but I'm raising awareness.
Shipping the wrong people.
Most of their fans don't realise that they are shipping the wrong people when it comes to Dan and PJ. They ship Phan, and KickTheStickz, but next to none even consider KickTheFire, or AmazingStickz. Its a shame really, because if they said it was real, they'd be telling the turth. The majority of their fans were shipping the wrong people together, which both amused and frustrated PJ.
Dan could care less about what the fans thought. He wanted to keep it a secret from them, though they had told their friends and family, and so he let them carry on about Phan and KickTheStickz. He was the only one who could stop PJ, when the older boy decided to say something stupid to the fans, retaliate. There were times when Dan wasn't there to stop him, but PJ never did much when it wasn't anonymous.
Phil was the same as PJ. He tried to say stuff to the fans about him and Chris, but he was always vague, and the fans never really suspected anything. Chris was glad, since PJ, Dan, and both of their parents were the only people who knew. They were waiting for the right time to tell all their friends, though that was mostly Chris, so PJ and Dan would be there when they were ready.
Most nights, PJ finds himself scowling at his laptop screen, cursing at the fans, even though they haven't done anything wrong. Some times he's up late, like Dan, some times, he goes to bed early, not going to sleep because he's grown used to sleeping with the boy, and he can't get a moments rest without those warm, strong arms encircling his waist.
PJ thinks the fans can be really thick some times. Especially when they hold hands in collab videos, of course, Dan makes him edit it so it doesn't really look like they are, but PJ leaves that tiny little bit. That one or two seconds of film that capture it, their linked hands. Dan doesn't notice, neither do the fans. He wishes they would though, he wishes just that one person would pause at exactly the right moment, and see their fingers locked together.
He wishes they would notice the heated looks, the love filled eyes, the longing expressions. He wishes they would be smart enough, just for once, to realise that there is something there. That there are sparks, and heat and love. He wishes they would notice it in Chris and Phil's videos as well.
No one ever notices. That's why, they're so surprised when PJ and Dan tell them. They say that they hope the fans will be supportive, because it will really mean a lot to them, and that they've been together for over a year. They ask for forgiveness, they were just waiting for the right time! They had to make sure it was going to last (and they really thought it was going to) and to make sure they were ready to lose a few fans, and a few friends as well.
The fans were shocked, which made PJ scowl just a bit, but very supportive. Any fans they lost were replaced by new ones who thought they were perfect for each other. It made PJ smile, even if it was just a bit, and it definitely made Dan happy to see everyone so supportive.
The fans still hadn't realised what that meant for Phan and KickTheStickz though.
They were a bit slow like that, and, for once, PJ didn't really mind. They were supportive, and that's all that really mattered to him. He could go out with Dan in public, hold his hand, and kiss him on the cheek. He didn't have to fear running into a fan when going out with his boyfriend anymore.
Everything was perfect.
Not flawless, by any means, but perfect meant things couldn't be better, and that's how it felt for PJ.
