While reading The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire for the first time ever(I think because of my friends, I dunno)in seventh grade I found a pretty odd thing that has stuck with me: Dan eats the unpopped kernels of popcorn… WHY DAN, WHY!? ~gum wrapper.
I don't own Dan Howell or Phil Lester.
Post-It Notes
Phil's p.o.v.
I sit on my bed nestled up in a few thick blankets and with the heat on high and just about everything I could imagine that could keep me warm piled around me.
Except Dan. He left to visit a severely sick relative and has been gone for two days. He's coming back in a day he thinks but isn't sure. He might have to stay longer if they die.
I'm all alone watching various different videos and movies on my laptop. Nothing to do really besides this. It's so cold outside and inside I really would rather not do anything else anyway.
After about three movies I hear my stomach rumble. I wonder if getting up to feed myself is really worth the cold trip to the kitchen.
It is.
I climb out of my warm pile and do my best to hurry into the kitchen.
"Ow!" I cry rubbing my nose and forehead because I ran into the glass door again. I'm rather surprised Dan and I haven't broken it yet honestly with how often we run into it.
I open the door and look around the kitchen. I see a pink Post-It note on a cupboard door. I read it and see it's from Dan but that's not too surprising as he is the only other person who lives here. The note reads in tiny font:
I know it's going to be cold while it's gone and that when it's cold you like to watch movies and eat warm popcorn sooooooooo
*look in cupboard please ;)*
I open the cupboard door. A box of microwaved popcorn packets sits inside with another pink note. This one says in the same small font:
Just for you! And no worrying about me breaking a tooth on a kernel like you always stress out about! :D
Love you.
I smile and while popping a packet reread the notes and imagine Dan writing it just before he left.
I put the notes in my pocket as I carefully avoid the door of doom again. When I settle back into my cave of blankets, pillows, various other objects, and such I put Dan's notes on the side of my laptop so I can see them.
As I stare at them I wonder if he found the pink Post-It note I put in his coat pocket.
