So How Do I Explain This?

Dan's POV:

I slowly opened my eyes to find myself in the lounge. Memories of the night before drifted into my head, and I wondered if they were a dream or not. Suddenly I became aware of an arm around my chest. I was lying up against Phil. I attempted to blink the sleep out of my eyes as I craned my neck around to see if he was awake. Nope. He was still asleep, a goofy grin plastered to his face as he dreamed.

I didn't remember falling asleep. I only remembered us talking, and at one point, kissing. That was good. I'd love to say it is one of those things where I've had these feelings for a long time, and all of a sudden my dream came true, but that wouldn't be right. Phil has always just been my friend.

I felt him stir from beneath me, and heard a short puppy-like yawn. I watched him. His reaction was similar to mine; surprised about his surroundings, and everything being remembered when he felt me there.

"Hey Phil," I whispered.

"Hi Dan," He whispered back, searching for where his glasses had fallen to in his sleep.

There wasn't much else to say, but I slid out from his arm and propped my back against the other arm of the couch. We simultaneously began to fix our hair, hoping that it didn't look too bad.

"Well," Phil began, cutting through the awkward, yet comfortable silence. "What do you want for breakfast, sir?" He winked at that last bit.

"I don't think we have anything but cereal, sir," I chuckled, tossing his "sir" back at him playfully.

"Cereal it is then!" He jumped up, still grinning, and held his hand out to me. This was so strange, but I didn't hesitate from grasping it with my own. He pulled me up, and we walked hand in hand through the narrow hallway to the kitchen and living room.

Phil and I both looked toward the camera that was still sitting at the table where we had done a very new kind of live show. We both groaned slightly and looked at each other. We had to tell the internet something. We also had to go see what everyone was saying about us.

Two bowls of cereal, two teas, and five minutes of making us extra comfortable on the couch later, the two of us were simultaneously logging onto our Macbooks. Phil began with Twitter, and I started with Tumblr. We searched through our tags.

The Twitter results all pretty much resembled this.

Phangirl0789 Theextremephangirl: danisnotonfire, AmazingPhil, what just happened? #YouNow #What

We both giggled at the confusion. We had been just as confused about what happened as they were.

The Tumblr posts contained a few YouNow snapshots, but the comments and tags were still confused.

Phil broke out into a laugh when he saw something. He just stared at it for a minute, and then continued his laughter.

"What?" I asked, leaning into him to try and see the screen.

"There is one person who messaged me. She said, and I quote, this; 'Hi Phil, so I know a lot of people are discussing what happened between you and Dan on the live show last night, but I am really desperate to find out one thing. What was it that Dan was going to show us? What did you guys buy in town?'" Phil looked up, and we both were giggling. "I like her," he said with a smile.

It was funny. Unlike everyone else who was dwelling over the fact that we had kissed on camera, she just wanted to know what I was getting from the table. I sensed a video coming up soon.

"So how are we going to do this?" I asked. "Should we to tell them over another spontaneous live show and make a video afterwards for everyone else?"

Phil nodded shakily. "Dan, what are we going to tell them?"

I scooted closer. "Well, I guess maybe it was pure adrenaline and the thrill of the moment that got me thinking, but I liked it. So, Phil, will you be my boyfriend?" I smiled, incredibly nervous as I was to be asking him this, I was happy. I wanted my best friend to be my boyfriend.

He looked at me for a moment and tilted his head to the side. Was he being serious, or was he just trying to make me suffer? Finally he stopped and smiled at me. "Of course I will, you idiot." With that he swiftly pulled me by the waist onto him, where he kissed me happily. It was still so new. It was also still so good.

We decided to alert all of the social media sites before starting the show; the message on everything was short. "Hey guys! Come watch this live show in 5 minutes. We need to talk."

After posting it on Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, and even texting a few friends, we logged onto my YouNow. There was one last weary expression exchanged before Phil clicked the BROADCAST button.

We stayed silent as we watched the "people watching" number grow increasingly larger. People starting typing hi's into the comments, and we recognized a few of the names as people we knew in person.

Once the number got bigger, we looked at each other and simultaneously said "Hi!" awkwardly to the people.

"So I guess some of you guys are kind of curious about what all just happened on the show last night, huh?" Phil giggled slightly. I could tell how uncomfortable he was, so I took over.

"So basically I was going to get up to show you guys something we bought, which honestly I can't even remember what it was right now, but my relentless cycle of fails continued, as I tripped over the lamp cord and knocked it off the table onto me. That is why my face is looking all strange today. So Phil here, being the best friend in the whole world he is," he stopped to watch me blush, ran over to help me out because I was covered in glass and sparks."

Phil started again. "So I am running over and attempting to help Daniel here up, just like any person would, and he's pretty unstable at that moment, as he did just hit his head on the floor and have a lamp break on his body. So I am hugging him to keep him stable. Nothing weird, I mean we are best friends."

I took over once more. "But then, when I kind of came to, and realized how absolutely grateful I was to have Phil there." I smiled and chuckled slightly. "That sounded cheesy," he smiled. "So then I did something completely unexpected. I kissed Phil. I think we were both quite shocked."

We paused for a moment, watching comments pour in. Some comments were good, others were bad. They mostly were all asking us to continue because they wanted to know what we thought. I gave Phil's hand, which was intertwined with mine beneath the table, a quick squeeze.

"Phil and I have really always just been best friends. I don't even know about him, but I didn't think I was even gay. We had to talk about it of course, and, well, we are together now." We raised our clasped hands up in front of the lens and smiled. "This is still new to us, and we have a lot to talk about. We haven't even talked to our families yet, so that is important. That's it for now, just thought we'd update you guys. We'll talk to you all soon! Byee!"

As we hopped up from the chairs at the table, Phil looked at me. "That was cruel," he chuckled.

"What?" I asked, pretending to be innocent.

"Springing that on them and then disappearing quickly."

We both just laughed. We really did have to talk to our parents. Right now, however, I think we both just wanted to take a short break from being stressed about what everyone would think of us.

We spent most of the afternoon curled up on the couch together, watching old movies like some unrealistic love story. It did feel unbelievable, but it was all so real.

So, I decided I would do this for a while longer

I will attempt to update it pretty soon again! Once again, I apologize for any grammatical or factual mistakes; I do most of my writing at 2:00 in the morning… (Not claiming that these things are real or they are in a relationship or any of that. I also don't own YouNow [obviously]) Okay, bye for now! ~Lexi~ (PLEASE REVIEW!)
