Dan knew that he had already come out, but the rest of the world deserved to know about Phil too. At least, that's what Phil had told him last night when they were laying in bed.

Dan ran a hand through his hair, staring at the camera. Truth be told, he had gone on a bit of a hiatus after the Blip. A five-year hiatus. This would be his first video since the entire thing had happened, excluding the explanation and original coming out videos. Nevertheless, Dan knew that this fear hadn't plagued his system in years.

He sat on the desk chair listening to Phil clatter around in the kitchen. Truth be told, it didn't really feel like Phil had actually come back. One of Dan's most repetitive thoughts as of late included the idea that he would wake up and Phil would be gone again.

Phil rushed into the room with two cups- one smelling of coffee and the other he assumed to be tea. "Dan! I read on Twitter that some people thought that they had spent fifty years gone and some people don't even remember being in there!" Phil excitedly put Dan's cup down in front of him, pulling out his phone. "Wanna see?"

"I'm alright," Dan's voice ached a bit, but he knew that seeing tweets about what had happened would only worsen the anxiety he already felt.

Phil raised an eyebrow, "You've gotten bolder."

Dan nodded, "I had to learn to say no." Dan thought to the time he had to tell another guy no and shuddered. He did not want to think about that.

"Let's get recording, yeah?" Phil said, leaning forward to the camera.

Dan smiled as Phil pressed the record button. The mask slid easily over Dan's face- almost as if he hadn't actually taken five years off. Phil laid back in the chair, neatly falling into place on Dan's left.

"I'm not even going to do any of that frilly shit, Phil is back!" Dan shouted excitedly. Dan nearly bounced in his seat but refrained. Can't have the fans thinking he's on drugs or some shit.

"Yeah, I'm back and kicking!" Phil laughed, which brought laughter out of Dan's throat.

"God, I missed this," Dan casually wrapped an arm around Phil, smiling as Phil leaned on him for the briefest moment, before perking right back up and continuing on about what the soul realm was like. Dan couldn't help his staring at Phil. The way he moved around and blabbered on and on about what had happened blew Dan away.

Phil turned suddenly, snapping Dan out of his thoughts, "What about you, Dan? What have you gotten up to in the last five years?"

Dan laughed, sitting up. He and Phil had gone over what had happened, but Dan knew that Phil was asking for the fans. Dan cleared his throat and began to speak, partially hoping that nothing embarrassing would come out.

Before recording, Phil had asked Dan if they could just post the video unedited. That way they had a bit more time to hang out. Dan agreed wholeheartedly, he wanted as much time as possible with Phil.

"Well, as you can see, I moved into a new place. I was in the process of moving when the blip, well, unblipped, but we finalized it today!" Dan grinned as he continued on. "I got Freddie (who is currently sleeping on my bed)," Dan and Phil simultaneously rolled to the side, showing a sleeping Freddie. "Ooh, that was good Phil."

"Yeah, I just want to point out we didn't plan that," Phil laughed again, gripping Dan's hand.

"I swear, we have telepathy with each other," Dan's own laughter continued to carry the couple on through the recording of the video.

About fifteen minutes later, Phil finally hit the record button again, ending it. Dan let out a sigh of relief, sighing. He covered his face, just trying to breathe.

"Dan, your powers are showing again," Phil commented quietly. "Is everything okay?"

Dan looked up, noticing how the shadows under the desk had started moving again. He shook his hands, and the shadows snapped back into place.

"Yeah, just anxious," Dan grumbled.

Phil nodded, resting a hand on Dan's leg.

Dan's powers had shown up a couple of days ago, just after everyone had come back. Phil had to nearly tie him down to get the shadows to stop moving. Dan had no control over them at all, and so the house had been trashed. Whenever Dan grabbed a shadow, the object it belonged to moved.

Dan didn't like it.

"Just take some deep breaths, yeah?" Phil looked at him.

Dan nodded, doing as Phil asked. Soon, his heart beat at a relatively normal pace. Dan shut his eyes, just trying to continue to breathe. After a moment, his leg started to burn.

Dan hissed, pulling away. Phil stared at a spot on the floor, and Dan glanced at the hand that had just been on his thigh. Bright white light emanated from Phil's palm, almost like Dan's hands did when he was controlling the shadows.

"Phil!" Dan shouted. Phil blinked and then hissed. He looked down at his own hands with wide eyes.

"How can we get in touch with S.H.I.E.L.D?"
