I apologise for the lateness of this chapter I've had lots of stuff happening and I haven't been in the mood to write anything, please forgive me. It was my birthday yesterday! I got a Dan and Phil shirt WOO (I wore it to school under my uniform) So instead of doing anything social I'm just listening to Fall Out Boy and writing FanFiction while eating cake. Gosh I should have asked for a life for my birthday. I hope you enjoy chapter four!
DISCLAMER: I still don't own Dan or Phil and if I did I'd make Phan real.

The Coming Out Video
*DAN'S POV*
"Phil" I whispered as I nudged my boyfriend's side.
It was one in the afternoon and Phil still wasn't awake. Phil turned over to face me but didn't open his eyes.
"Phil, are you awake?"
I got a grunt in reply.
"Baby, get up its one in the afternoon you've been asleep all day"
Phil opened one eye at a time then looked at me before saying, "Leave me to sleep"
I crouched down on the floor and looked him in the eyes, "What's up?"
"Feel sick" Phil replied.
I smiled at him, "You need food Mr. Lester"
"You aren't my mother"
"But I'm your boyfriend and if I didn't care for you what use would I even be?"
Phil cracked a smile, "Thanks Dan"
I smiled back, "Don't mention it now get your lazy arse out of bed and get some clothes on"
Phil groaned again. "Yes mum" he said cheekily.
I laughed; "Very funny Phillip" and I ran out of our room before he could hit me for using his full name.
After Phil was fed up and had stopped complaining, had a shower, caught up on his Twitter and tied up his old room (seems we were using mine at the moment) he finally flopped down on the sofa next to me.
"Done" he sighed then asked, "How long has it been since we uploaded last?"
"One week and four days" I said stretching my legs out in front of me.
He looked over at me, "When shall we um- do the phan vid?"
"Don't mind" I replied.
"Who's channel?"
"Mine?" I suggested.
"If you want, I don't mind. Shall we do it tomorrow?" Phil asked.
"If you want" I smiled at my boyfriend and kissed him making him fall backwards a little. Phil kissed me instantly back and when we finally broke apart Phil rested his head on my shoulder and I fiddled with one of his shirts red buttons.
"Do you think we'll break Tumblr?"
Phil laughed, "How do you even break Tumblr?"
"I don't know really…" my voice trailed off.
"What?"
"You could" I said, "Over load of posts and gifs could break down the site because there is too much stuff being uploaded"
"Shut up clever clogs"
I smiled, "I made that up"
Phil smiled back, "I know"
The next day I was the first one to wake up. Phil was cuddled into my chest so I lay still for a few moments so I didn't disturb him. We'd be filming in my room today seems the video was going on my channel. I carefully got up without disturbing Phil and went to get the camera from Phil's, let's say, old room. It wasn't that hard to find seems Phil's room was basically empty except for a bed (missing one pillow), wardrobe, mirror, drawers and some other stuff he didn't want to move in our new room. Grabbing the camera something else caught my eye, the first birthday card I'd ever given to Phil. It made my heart flutter for the fact he had kept it even after five years, I hadn't even met him yet when I made this. I gingerly picked it up and opened it up. I'd wrote a mini letter inside and drew a picture of myself. Part of me didn't want to read the letter because it would be super cringey but the side that wanted to read it won so I began to read the letter in my rubbish handwriting I had managed to neaten up.
Hi Phil, you don't know who I am but I'm Dan Howell and I'm five years younger than you. I just want to say: Happy Birthday Phil! I've watched your videos for years and I just probably sound like a normal fan, that's what I am basically. I have my own YouTube channel but I haven't posted any videos on it yet, I'm too nervous. You're a really cool guy and you're really funny. Please carry on making videos for FOREVER because I never want to see you go… I just went deep, opps. Is it strange that I like the same things as you even before I knew you existed? It probably is. I hope to meet you one day so you're not just some guy through my computer screen. Rawwwr! Dan :)
I smiled down at the mini letter in my hands. If that Dan knew how close me and Phil are. I really want to ask him why he kept it after all these years. I pocketed the card and picked up the camera and the tri-pod and left Phil's old room to go back to ours. When I entered Phil was awake and looking at me as I came in.
"Moring Phil" I smiled.
Phil smiled back, "Morning Dan. How long have you been up?"
"Not long, you?"
"Few minutes"
I put the camera and tri-pod down and picked the card out of my pocket and held it up in the air, "You kept it" I whispered.
Phil's smile grew, "You want to know why, don't you?"
I nodded.
"Sit down and I'll explain"
I sat down next to him in the bed.
"I don't know what made me want to keep it," Phil began. "Something about you caught my eye when I read it. You classed yourself as normal and looking at it I wished one day I would meet you so I could tell you that you weren't normal, you were special. I kept your card because of your YouTube channel's name"
"Why?" I asked.
Phil smiled again, "I spent time flicking through the comments looking out for your channel name so I could reply to you" he fell silent for a few seconds before carrying on, "When I finally saw the danisnotonfire in my comments I replied straight away. I just replied like normal but really, if you hadn't have sent that card and I hadn't kept it to look out for you we wouldn't be sitting here right now and I don't know what I would do without you Dan"
I took Phil's hand and laced my fingers with his and pondered out loud, "So that's why you said you're special Dan just before you left on our first Skype call?"
Phil nodded with a blush, "Did it help?"
"Loads"
"Glad I could help" Phil smiled.
"You've helped me in so man way Phil"
Phil blushed again, "Love you Dan"
"I love you too Phil" and trust me, I meant it; I didn't want to imagine my life without Phil by my side either.
By three o'clock in the afternoon me and Phil were ready to start filming the phan video. We were both nervous but the sooner it was done the less time we had to worry about it.
"Come on Phillip" I grabbed his hand and dragged him into my room.
Phil flopped onto our bed and smiled, "This is it then Dan"
"What do you mean?"
"This is going to be the day I have nothing left hidden from my subscribers, within reason" the smile didn't leave his face.
I sat down on my bed near his feet, "Same, I guess it will feel nice"
"I hope so" Phil sat back up, "Let's do this then. I'll go and get a chair" he left my room and I could hear movement to my right as he tried to drag a chair through the hall way.
He finally entered dragging a black chair behind him saying, "These are heavier than you think"
I just smiled and set up the camera and sorted out my hair as I sat in my butt chair next to Phil. Once we were sorted out I gave him a quick kiss and asked him if he was ready; I got a nod so I turned the camera on.
"Hello everyone!" I smiled, "Phil is joining me once again for this video"
So don't except a video from me this week" Phil added in.
I looked over at my boyfriend, "I didn't want the title to give away what the video is about, surprise surprise"
Phil smiled next to and I held his hand out of the view of the camera.
"You could say it's linked to my last video, well technically it is but I-"
"We" Phil said.
"But WE didn't want to announce the other secret then, we weren't ready. You probably already know what this is about to be honest" my voice trailed off.
"Me and Dan are dating!" Phil shouted next to me, raising up our joined hands.
I looked over at him with a blush.
"You were taking too long"
I smiled and kissed Phil on the check.
Phil smiled, "You know they won't be satisfied" he raised his eyebrows.
"You won't be either" I mumbled just loud enough so I knew the camera would pick it up and I kissed him fully on the lips. Phil wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me back. We broke apart sooner than we wanted but we needed to carry on with this video.
"Well Phil" I started.
"What?" his cheeks were pink.
"I think we might have just broken Tumblr"
Phil laughed until there were tears in his eyes and he couldn't breathe.
"It wasn't that funny" I said.
Phil controlled himself and smiled, "It was for me"
We finished off the video together, which included embrassing stories and stuff we hoped people would want to know, and Dan did his sexy end screen dance, which I don't question anymore. We packed the camera away (the editing can wait until tomorrow). I collapsed backwards onto my bed and Phil lay next to me, our hands made their way to be joined again.
"Yatta!" Phil shouted in a high pitched voice.
I looked at my boyfriend confused.
Phil looked at me and let out a short laugh, "It's Japanese for I did it"
I smiled and whispered, "Bless"
We fell silent for a moment then I said, "I'm tired"
"Sammeee" Phil moaned.
"Shall we go bed?"
"It's only half seven and we haven't eaten yet"
"Screw food I want sleep" I groaned, I think that rumble of my stomach says different though.
"Your stomach doesn't agree with that, come on food then bed"
"You aren't my mother"
"I know but I'm your boyfriend" Phil said then he kissed my forehead, "Come on"
I sat up with a groan and let go of Phil's hand to rub my eyes, "Let's eat"
"What shall we cook?" I asked.
"Mexican?" Phil suggested.
"You know the way to my heart" I joined my hand back with Phil's as we went to get dinner.
That night we fell asleep almost straight away, cuddled into each other and out hands joined. These days were the best and I never want them to end.
*PHIL'S POV*
The next morning I woke up in my boyfriend's arms quiet warm, England must be having a hot day. I slipped out of the sheets and went to get a cold shower to wake myself up while Dan was being a non-morning person. Today is uploading day for our phan video. I'm not as nervous for this video as I was for the coming out video, don't know why. By the time I'd finished in the shower Dan was awake but still in bed. I went into our room in just my towel wrapped around my waist and falling to just below my knees. I blushed as I noticed Dan staring at my chest.
"You should walk around in just a towel more often" Dan commented.
I blushed further, "No thanks, I'll get a draft"
Dan giggled, "Fair point but hurry up on getting dressed, it's uploading day"
"But it means countless hours editing" I moaned.
"They are the terms and conditions of being a YouTuber" Dan joked.
I busied myself with getting dressed. I could feel Dan's gaze on my back the whole time I was getting dressed but personally, I didn't care and just pretended like I didn't know he was doing it. I'll just get him back later.
Three painful hours later the video was finally uploaded onto Dan's channel. He had choice to name it 'Something I never told you' and left it alone. Me and Dan lay cuddled up on the sofa watching a film while we let the viewer watch the video. I'd already liked the video so people would see it on my channel too. For the whole film I messed around with Dan's hair and occasionally giving him quick kiss, which Dan would return. When the film ended we decided it was time to check the comments and tweets but stay away from broken Tumblr. The comments we got were supportive, most of them, mainly fans screaming and dying (opps), seriously I love you guys. Dan was right there were no more secrets being kept from them and me and Dan were happy so the haters can just leave, if you don't like two guys being together then get up to the 21st century because it doesn't matter what they think. As long as you are happy it doesn't matter what other people say or do. As Dan once said, 'Do whatever you have to do to be happy'. Dan keeps me happy and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else other than here.
I can do another chapter after (if someone gives me an idea) but after FIVE I will be stopping. I hope you enjoyed that chapter and leave a review if you want. Free cookies if you do (::) (::) (::) (::)
