Chapter 04
Living with Dan and Phil was in no way peaceful. There were numerous gaming fights, throwing of the controllers, monopoly boards, fights for 'who ate my cereal? and of course - recording of videos even if it meant it was middle of the night. But oddly, I drew comfort from the chaos. After so many years of living alone, I found the experience of sharing space with others, especially freaking Dan and Phil! Very amusing and not to mention entertaining.
Dan did take me to the doctor who told it would take me a few more days to recover and asked me to use a pair of very embarrassing crutches to not strain my ankle. So now I was even unable to do basic everyday functions like going to the bathroom, without wobbling on the uncomfortable crutches or without someone's help.
Today I was the first one to get up and because I was feeling peckish, I decided to go grab myself a bowl of cereal. After I poured some milk into my bowl, I discovered a very important problem- holding the bowl left me one hand less to hold the crutches. Just as I was trying to manoeuvre my hands to hold the bowl and crutches at the same time, when someone came up from behind.
Startled, I lost my hold on the crutch and was about to fall when Dan's hands came up around me to support.
"Careful there" he said "we can't have you anymore injured".
"Thanks" I managed. I was surprised by our closeness. We were so close that we could almost kiss-almost nose to nose. But before he or I could make the move, Phil walked into the kitchen yawning, and the moment was gone.
"What's in the menu?" Phil asked as he opened the fridge.
"O.J and cereal" I replied as I disentangled myself from Dan's arm, which funnily enough, Phil didn't seem to notice.
"Breakfast of the kings" Dan said smirking, though I swear, he looked tad disappointed.
We watched anime while having breakfast (Attack on Titan!) and it felt so natural, sitting with them. I wouldn't have believed if someone told me this would be happening a week before. Like we had known each other for years, and not just days.
After breakfast, Dan and Phil went off to film a new gaming video, and with nothing else to do I fired up my laptop, which my friend had brought over along with my other stuff here. Just out of habit, I opened my website of Dan and saw that there were numerous posts from fans. Intrigued, I clicked and found them all to be complaining about lack of activity-I have never gone so long without posting anything and they were getting impatient for news.
Like a bunch of wolves, I thought disgusted at them, and at myself.
I shut off the Laptop.
We were in the gaming room after dinner playing a was a three way competition and after Phil lost to me I was currently up against Dan.
"Yeah take that mother fu-" Dan yelled, furiously jabbing at his controller.
"Language Daniel! " Phil yelled from the other side of Dan.
I was in no less frenzy, and beads of perspiration were dripping down my face-it was an intense game.
"Take that Danyul" I mocked him when the scores were finally shown and I won. Excited and out of habit, I stamped my injured foot only to cry out in pain a moment later.
"Are you alright!" Dan asked immediately,extremely concerned.
"I think I just broke my foot-again" I said,biting my lip to avoid crying out in pain.
"I will take you to bed" Dan said "Don't you dare hop all the way to your room on that leg".
With that he pulled me out of the sofa and carried me all the way to my room.
He tucked the sheets around me,and just before leaving he hesitantly kissed my forehead and said
"Goodnight"
