"Hey, Phil, do you want to join my liveshow?" Dan asks. A few days had passed since the coming out video was uploaded, and the gaming video was posted shortly after that. "Sure," Phil agrees, and he sits down next to Dan on the couch. Dan presses a few more buttons on his computer and the liveshow starts. "Hi everyone!" Dan starts. "Hey guys!" Phil joins in. "As you can see, I'm here with Phil," Dan says. Phil beams and brings both hands underneath his chin to frame his face. Dan smiles at this then turns back to the computer. "Alright, just give me a minute to tell everyone I'm live," Dan mutters, and he taps more buttons to share the link on twitter and other platforms.
"Ok, so.." Dan starts, glancing at the chat, which was brimming with questions about their last video. And no, not the gaming one. That video didn't really do much to draw attention away from their announcement video. "Well, you know what everyone wants to talk about," he remarks to Phil. "What? Oh, you mean my amazing new socks?" Phil brings his feet into frame, clothed with the cartoon dog socks. Dan laughs. "You're wearing those again?" He asks incredulously. Phil just nods proudly and grins a bit. "You've worn those every day since you got back from the hospital!" "So? They're good dogs, Dan," Phil says, referencing the famous saying to his memelord.
Dan laughs and glances back to the chat again. "'When did you get back from the hospital?'" Dan reads. "Uh.. three days ago?" Phil says, turning towards Dan for confirmation. "Yeah," Dan verifies, and they chat about Phil's hospital stay for a couple minutes. "Oh, someone's asked about how long I stayed there for," Phil says, drawing Dan away from his rant about the crappy cafeteria food. "Is this your way of telling me to stop ranting about the food?" Dan laughs, torn from his thoughts. "Yes," Phil answers, raising his eyebrows and grinning at Dan. Dan gazes back into Phil's eyes for a couple seconds, then remembers they're doing a liveshow. "Anyway!" Dan continues, "he was there for around three weeks," he turns back to the computer.
"Erm, yeah," Phil confirms, blushing slightly. He reads through the chat where some people were commenting on that little moment while Dan talks about how awful it must be to stay in the hospital for a long time. "I mean, I thought three weeks was bad enough and I wasn't even the one in the hospital," Dan says. "Aw," Phil says softly, turning back to Dan with a small smile. "Did you miss me?" He teases playfully. Phil knew now how hard it was for Dan to see Phil in the hospital after the little episode from a couple days ago. Dan gazes at Phil again and quirks one side of his mouth up, as if to say 'well of course I missed you'. A few seconds pass of just Dan and Phil staring at each other and more people in the chat start commenting on Dan's sweet sentence and start asking about the video.
"Alright, well.." Dan starts, finally returning to the liveshow while taking a deep breath. "I suppose now is a good time to talk about it." "Ok," Phil concedes, still struggling with letting himself be open to the internet like this. He had managed to put it off earlier with his tangent about the socks, but now that Dan was blatantly addressing it, Phil couldn't stall any longer. "I'll assume almost all of you have seen the video," Dan says. "So, what do you want to know?" Dan and Phil spend the rest of the liveshow talking answering questions, such as when they started dating, how did they get together, etc. They also touch on the car crash a bit and other various topics before wrapping up the show.
Almost an hour into the livestream, Dan and Phil start to wrap things up. "Alright, thanks for joining us! Bye guys!" Phil says. Dan says a quick goodbye and ends the show. "There, that wasn't too bad, right?" Dan asks. "No, it wasn't," Phil agrees. "Thanks for helping me," Dan says. "Of course! Now, let's go get a snack, I'm hungry." They walk into the kitchen and have a couple cookies out of the package, chatting about a few new video ideas. Later that night, Dan and Phil change into their pajamas and head into Phil's bedroom. Dan had been sleeping there every night since he had the nightmare. By now, they both practically lived in Phil's bedroom, but Dan's stuff was still in the other room. "Night, Dan," Phil says, turning over to face his boyfriend. "Night, Phil," Dan replies, pressing a kiss to Phil's forehead before burrowing deep into the covers and falling asleep.
A/N: Hey guys! Just a short little update. I don't think this chapter was the best I could've done, but I don't really have any more ideas for this fic. I also didn't want to abandon this cause I'm pretty proud of it (being my first fanfic and all), so I think the next chapter will be the final one. Also, sorry it took a bit longer to update, I've been away from home and couldn't write. Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter, and don't forget to review/follow/favorite! ~L
