Disclaimer: I don't own Dan and Phil, nor anyone associated with them

Hey pastries, so I promise the mystery man will be explained soon, but for now enjoy this chapter.

Zachary leaned against the wall, as Phil cleaned Dan's wound and removed the piece of glass. People gave them odd, sometimes concerned stares before walking away. He sighed softly and turned to Dan and Phil, Dan was chuckling at something Phil said. Zachary smiled, the two of them were clearly in love with each other. They just needed a small nudge, and then they'd get together, be youtubers together, and years down the line have him and his sisters, and everything would go back to normal. Actually...that was another thing, how was he going to get back? Was he going to be stuck here forever or leave when he was finished...did they even know he was gone? He looked down at his feet recalling the fight he'd had with his dad. The time they spoke was when they were fighting, what if he never got the chance to apologize?

"Zach, you ok?"

Zachary looked back as Dan looked at him in concern.

"I asked if you were ok," Said Dan, and Zachary nodded. Dan smiled softly grateful that at least he hadn't gotten hurt...he didn't know why, but he had gotten this overwhelming urge to protect the younger boy. It wasn't a brotherly instinct either, it was...something else.

"I'm glad you're both alright." Said Phil, Dan turned to Phil and smiled his blush intensified. Finally when they were done, they hailed a taxi and rode to Phil's house. Zachary looked around at his grandparents' first home just as much as Dan was. They followed Phil up the stairs, and into his bedroom where Dan set his stuff down on the bed. His brown eyes looked around excitedly. He couldn't believe that he was in the bedroom of his favorite Youtuber in the whole world! Immediately he told himself to act cool and natural...but he was in Amazingphil's bedroom! Phil smiled softly at Dan and how excited he was. His blue eyes flickered to Dan's lips...he wished...but he couldn't. He wasn't a cheater.

"I'll leave you to unpack, I'll get drinks." Said Phil before walking away.

"You seem happy." Said Zachary, Dan smiled at him and gave a small chuckle.

"Is it that obvious? I still can't believe it...I'm here with Amazingphil...he's my favorite Youtuber, and now I'm here on his bed where he films his videos, and oh wow." Said Dan, his smile still present on his face as he looked around the room.

"How do you feel...now that you've really met him?" Asked Zachary, Dan's smile faded softly before turning to him.

"You can't tell Phil alright? It's a secret between us." Said Dan, Zachary nodded and listened intently. " I love him even more, I...I know it's dumb and stupid to believe in love at first sight, but I loved him the moment I saw him...and...I tried for so long to be noticed by him...it honestly doesn't seem real. He'd probably never like me like that anyway...nothing to love honestly. Besides he has Charlie."

"Well Charlie can go screw himself." Said Zachary, surprising Dan as Zachary kept talking. " I know this seems crazy but...I think you and Phil, you were made for each other."

"Why?You don't know me, for all you know I could be some sort of ax murderer." He teased, Zachary shook his head as his future father chuckled. "Thank you though, I don't know why you think that but...thank you."

Zachary smiled and nodded, taken aback as Dan hugged him...but even the way he hugged seem different. Then again currently his dad was eighteen, and a bit on the thin and short sight...he was very relieved to see that his dad was short too in comparison to the giant he would one day become. Phil came back with the drinks, and handed them over.

"So, I was thinking later we could do stuff and spend the day together." Said Phil, Dan smiled at Phil.

" That sounds perfect Phil." Said Dan, Phil blushed and looked away bashfully. Zachary smiled when he looked and saw a shadow at the doorway, he turned to Dan and Phil who were to engrossed in each other to be paying attention to him. While it was cute, he was kind of glad that they weren't like that when they had kids. He could only imagine the trouble he and his sisters would've gotten into if they were. He walked out of the room and slowly made his way down the stairs.

Where he saw the man from the train station in the kitchen.

"You again, look I said go away. I wasn't thinking ok, I changed my mind I want Dan to be my dad." Said Zachary, as the man looked back at him.

"Your current wishes are invalid, I am going to make your first one a reality. You wished that Dan Howell was no longer your father and I intend on making your wish come true, you are merely here to observe as I get the job done." Said the man, and Zachary glared daggers at him.

"Don't you dare." Threatened Zachary as he went to punch him...only to hit nothing but air.

"Zach you ok down there?" Called Phil.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine!" He called out. Phil turned back to Dan, who immediately booped his nose with a sharpie chuckling at the tiny black dot on his nose. Phil smirked, and Dan's eyes widened slightly, before laughing as Phil tickled him and took the sharpie before booping him back on the nose. Dan and Phil looked into each other's eyes, and Phil was once again filled with the urge to kiss him. He sighed softly, and gently ran a hand through Dan's soft brown hair. Dan leaned against Phil who wrapped his arms around him.

"Do you want to film a video later?" Asked Phil curiously.

"I dunno, do you think your fans will like me?" Asked Dan curiously.

"I'm sure they'll love you." Said Phil, and Dan looked down bashfully, his face was probably red and ripe like a tomato.
