Chapter 13: Koala Style

It's been four weeks since Rose arrived at Dan's flat. And boy what an impact she has made. She is fantastic, no kidding. Honestly, I never thought I would ever recover from what was plaguing me but she worked it out. And everything is fine now. Well, I hope.

I've been spending the past week away from Dan and at home. I've had Josie round a couple of times and I hung out with Rose yesterday but no males have been in my presence apart from Steve. We have a date on Monday though, and I'm really looking forward to it because Dan won't tell me what we're doing.

He texts me now. It says; "Check YouTube x"

I answer; "Why? xx"

He replies within four minutes with; "Just do it :P xx"

I roll my eyes and grab my computer, logging on. Steve never uses it so technically it's mine now. When it finally loads, I open up Firefox and type in 'YouTube'. On the homepage there is a notification of a new danisnotonfire video. The title is 'Dan Confesses'.

I click on it and wait for it to load. The bar is finally fully grey so I press play and a picture of Dan in his bedroom appears. He starts talking.

"Hello internet!" he smiles into the camera. "So today is kind of a serious video. Yes, I know, shock horror right? But I kind of need to do this video so here goes. I haven't really discussed what I was gonna say with the person that this is about so fingers crossed she won't mind. I'm not sure if you've seen charlieissocoollike's latest video, but if you have then this is basically that. Yes, I have a girlfriend. Now for some of you this is going to be like "Oh right, whatever" and you're going to probably close this tab but for some of you this will be like-"

It cuts to a clip of him screaming "WHAT?! NOOOO!" at his computer and throwing a hissy fit. I chuckle. It switches back to him in his room, laughing.

"-Should I talk about her? I think I should. Well, later. First I'll tell you why I made this video. I think that'd help. Basically, I was watching Charlie's and I though; 'What is the point of me hiding it anymore?' Cause in all honesty, trying to hide something from the internet is like trying to trick people your skin is purple. And I also want to bury the suspicions of Phan in a six foot deep hole and piss on it," he laughs again. "So who is this girl? Well, her name is Olivia but she doesn't have a YouTube despite me constantly begging her to. I will do a video with her, soon, just to introduce her to you. And please, please, please for the love of God be nice to her and don't send her any hate. That would literally ruin my life and hers too. I think. Please, I don't want the two most important things in my life being so hateful over eachother. So if you could be nice and show her respect that would be great. Cause I love her, a lot. I actually don't know what I'd do without her. And this YouTube is my job so I need you guys to like her too. You will, I promise. She's brilliant."

He smiles to himself and looks down for a few seconds but then snaps back to reality. "But yeah, that's kind of it. I will see you later, Danosaurs. Keep being awesome." He grins then the camera turns off. No outro or anything. I smile to myself. That was the cutest effing thing I've ever seen in my life. I grab my phone and open it up. It comes up with the Twitter app and Dan's latest tweet appears. It reads; 'Hey guys! About to go live on YouNow. Join us! Who knows what'll happen this week O.o' I chuckle. Perfect, I will sabotage his live show.

I jump in my car and drive to their flat. When I arrive, I open the door as slowly and quietly as I can, and as I expected Dan is sat on the sofa; talking into his webcam to all his 'Danosaurs'.

I run up to him and jump on his back, taking him by surprise.

"AH! LIV!" he shouts. I laugh and climb off him, landing on squished up beside him. "Jesus fucking Christ you scared me."

I laugh again. "Whatcha doin'?"

"Just my live show," he says. "Say hi to Liv guys!"

I wave at the camera. I have been on YouNow before, to watch his shows when I'm at home, so I know how it works. Dan looks at the chat and reads out the first one he sees.

"Yes, this is my girlfriend," he laughs. "And I know she is beautiful."

"I bet they didn't actually say that." I say, rolling my eyes.

"They did."

I pick one out this time. It's from a girl called Samantha. I read it out loud; "'Awe you guys are so cute together!' Why thank you, Samantha. But I bet you're gutted that Phan isn't real on the inside, aren't you?"

Dan playfully nudges me. "Uhm, yeah guys, so it's been an hour and I think we should wrap this up don't you?" he laughs at the spam of people begging to stay. "I'm sorry. Byeee!" He waves and then clicks the 'End Broadcast' button, then turns his laptop off.

"So what brings you here?" he asks, putting his arms around me.

"Your video was adorable." I say.

"Really? You're not mad?"

"Mad? I'm glad."

"Good." he kisses the tip of my nose, sending a shiver down my spine.

I get out my phone again and open Twitter.

"What are you doing?" he asks, resting his chin on my shoulder.

"Seeing what people are saying about us." I say. I search his user and scroll down. I see a tweet that reads 'I bet Dan and Olivia got off as soon as the live show finished.' and laugh loudly, showing it to Dan. He frowns. I find another one that says 'Danivia is my OTP omfg they are perfect together.' He smiles at that one.

"The only form of hate I'm seeing is stuff like this girl who says; 'Holy shit I am so jealous of stfuollie right now.' And that's nothing. In fact, that's kind of a compliment. You had nothing to worry about, your fans are amazing."

"I know, right. When they're not being fucking crazy."

He wraps his arms around my waist, from behind, and nuzzles into my neck. I sigh and lean against him, so glad to have found the one the first time.
