Hey I wanna know if I'm flying through without detail. That is all, enjoy.
PHIL POV
As we drove in the car Dan hummed to young volcanoes by fall out boy, whilst I played with my engagement ring. But then it struck me, what would Dan's other friends think. Will he tell them?
"Dan...?"
"Sweetheart."
"What will they say about us..?"
I hated to say they're names.
"Darling, it'll be fine." He parked the car and held my hand. "Ian is for gay rights! It's our secret we keep from Anthony, because he could take us down. But saying that, is that Anthony with h-his dad!?"
I turned around to see Anthony hugging and crying with this older version of him. We got out to say hi but I stayed behind a bit.
"Dan! Phil!"
This was scaring me, he ran over and gave us both a big hug.
"Hey man, when did your dad come back...?"
"He came back to say sorry and introduce his boyfriend. Then I realised that I was super homophobic... Sorry Phil."
He just said sorry?! I couldn't help but smile.
"It's ok."
"That reminds me, me and Phil are getting married." Dan said.
"You forgot?" I felt anger rising.
"Well I've just been toppled with more news and I have a memory of a goldfish." I had to forgive him because it's true, and I just can't say no to a face like his!
DAN POV
I'm glad I can be honest to Anthony now. After we told him the truth he was a bit mad but understood why we didn't say anything. We were now sitting down with the rest of our year getting ready to get our diplomas. I saw mine and Phil's parents take a seat.
"Hey, I was thinking if I could ask my friend Carrie to sing at the wedding...?"
Phil had been making lots of friends with other bloggers and youtubers at the moment, whilst he made videos I was behind the camera helping him. I also came up in a few videos just to say hi or to be his 'beautiful assistant'. I had spoken to Carrie before, she was really nice so I had to say...
"Yes! I love her singing!"
"Great I'll-" he was cut off by our head of year, Miss Hodges.
"Welcome everyone, to the graduation ceremony of the class of 2009! Before we get started I would like to congratulate our valid Victorian, Phil Lester!"
Phil was signalled to come to the podium.
"Thank you miss Hodges. Through the time I've been at Melland High School I have made friends, done course work, found love and found my true passion, media arts. I started this school 11 months ago thinking I had no chance of doing anything great, but instead I was featured in a published photography magazine, opened the media arts community club and co ran it for 6 months. Did multiple charity events. The best thing I did was choose to love Daniel James Howell. Thank you for being there for me when I wasn't there for you. I love you."
I sat there with tears roll down my face.
"Thank you Phil, that was beautiful!"
As we got handed our diplomas I saw a few flashing lights from cameras. I finally do anything.
TWO WEEKS LATER
PHIL POV
"Dan, what shirt should I wear?" I was heading out to the opticians because I had to face the eye test of doom, I hated going because I had to wear my glasses. Dan on the other side loved when I wore glasses, even though he got poked in the eye when I went to kiss him.
"Sweetheart you look lovely in both of them! But I think your galaxy one still has a stain on it after you spilt red wine on it last week!" Dan had just came from the shower so his hair was still curly. Beautiful.
"Ok thanks." I kissed him on the cheek and started to put on my lion shirt.
DAN POV
After Phil left I went onto his YouTube channel and watched his video. It looked quite fun, but I had nothing to talk about. Phil on the other hand was funny, had loads of ideas, could tell tales that could be simple and funny and make them creative and mystical. He had always wanted me to try doing YouTube but I always said no when I wanted to say yes.
I felt hungry so I went into the kitchen to make lunch. I grabbed my sandwich and went into the living room and saw a camera set up and lights. I knew Phil wouldn't be back until two and it was only twelve now. So I put down my food and sat in front of the camera. I pushed the button and it flowed from me.
"Hello Internet, I'm Dan Howell and if you watch Phil's videos you may of seen me pop up in a few of his videos to hand him items for challenges. He had been nagging at me for a while to have a go at this YouTube thing but I never had the courage."
I went on for about three minutes until I heard the door open. I quickly turned the camera and lights off, grabbed my sandwich and put on the TV.
"Hey my appointment was cancelled. Oh crap sorry! I forgot to put my camera away before I left! I'll go and edit my footage."
"Hey babe, don't worry about the camera didn't bother me." No! He's going to see my video! I can't tell him to not do look because then he will! I need to get out.
"Hey I need to go and have a Starbucks I'll be back in half an hour want anything?"
"Don't want anything."
"Alright, love you!"
