"So, for my next video I was thinking about involving you." Dan says the next morning over breakfast. "Me? What were you thinking about doing?" "Well I thought that maybe we could do a live show tonight and you could join in. See if you like it." I sighed; Dan had been bugging me to start my own YouTube channel for ages. He said that I was really funny and that I gave really good advice. I wasn't keen; I thought that people would just be watching me because I was going out with Dan. "Maybe, I guess I could give it a go." I say stirring my cereal round. "Thanks, you'll love it." Dan reaches for my hand. I stand up, wearing Dan's old shirt and only the shirt. "So, no Uni today, eh?" Dan asks, looking up at me. "Nope, I'm all yours." I pose; Dan shoots up from his chair, knocking it backwards. He grabs me round the waist and spins me round. "I love you like you wouldn't believe." He says as he leads me to his room, pulling me along. I laugh and giggle as he stands still and I jump on his back. He laughs and we run round the flat till we both feel dizzy and he falls backwards on to the sofa, crushing me. "Get off!" I shout from under his back. He turns round and faces me, trapping me to the sofa. We breathe heavily from the running, staring at each other till he leans in and kisses me. Our lips sealed together. "Whoa, sorry guys." Phil walks in to the room and then covers his eyes, embarrassed; Dan gets back up and winks at me as he disappears to his room to get dressed. I stay lying on the sofa, breathless from heated moment. "Sorry to interrupt." Phil says, walking over to the table with his breakfast a few minutes later. "Oh no, I'm sorry Phil this is your living room as well. It won't happen again." I chuckle as I run off to have a shower.
I sit on the sofa next to Phil, biting my lip as we watch Dan in a live show from his room. He is ten minutes in and in full swing. I see that he has well over 20 thousand people watching and I don't know how he keeps so calm and in control. I look as the comments come flying in, most are asking him questions but every now and then one comes up asking where either Phil or me are. "So, what shall we do now?" He asks the camera, smiling away. I loved this side of him, the professional man who was in his stride. Suddenly all the comments are the same, asking me to join in. "So, you guys want Amy?" He teases, "Ok, I'll call her." He grins and Phil gives me a smile. "Go on, you'll love it." He says I get up and walk to Dan's room. "Amy?" I hear him say. I open the door and poke my head round. "Yes Daniel?" "Come say hello." I nod and join him on the bed, the laptop sitting on his knees. "Hello there!" I greet the laptop, waving. "So, here you go everyone." Dan says, "Let's play, ask Amy. Oh that has a ring to it!" He laughs, putting his arm round me. I look at the comments, rushing in. "Ok then." I say, nervous as I chose a question to answer. "Rebecca asks, what do I do as a job? Well Rebecca, I'm currently a student, one year left at Uni, and then I have no idea what I want to do. Although I am currently working on a novel." I look to Dan to see if I messed up, he grins. "Do another one." "Ok, let's see. Rachel asks, where do I live. I live with Dan and Phil! Yay! Edward asks, what are they like to live with? They're both quite messy Edward, I find myself cleaning up after them but it's so much fun. We watch films all the time and just hang out. Sarah asks, do you love Dan? Awww, yes I do." Dan beams and he plants a kiss on my cheek. I find myself relaxing as Dan takes over, making it look so easy. I join in every now and then, making a funny comment or nodding to what Dan is saying. "So guys, that's time." He says after an hour, pulling a sad face. "But make sure to hit that subscribe button to be told when I make new videos and check my YouTube channel out! See you all soon!" Then we both salute at the same time as Dan closes the window.
"You were great." Dan says as we walk in to the living room. "Good job Amy!" Phil puts his thumbs up, smiling. "So, have you changed your mind about YouTube now?" Dan asks as we sit down and relax on the sofa. I tilt my head to one side, thinking. "I don't know, maybe. It's hard to think of where to start with something like that." They both nod, "Well maybe sometime later this week I could help you get set up." Dan offers, clearly not giving up. "Ok then, have it your way. Just don't blame me when I get way more subscribers than you." I joke, nudging Dan in the ribs. "Yeah, like that's ever going to happen." He picks up a cushion and hits me on the head. "Oh no, you did not just do that Daniel James Howell." I say as I reach over to grab a cushion, Phil laughs as he joins in and just like that we have a cushion fight. Me and Phil team up and trap Dan behind the sofa. I run out to the middle of the floor, ready to pounce when Dan jumps up and rugby tackles me to the floor. He then starts to tickle me all over; I kick and scream for Phil who is bent over laughing. "Stop, stop!" I giggle, as Dan leans over me. Finally he slows and holds out a hand to help me get up. We all stand there for a few seconds, recovering from the moment of madness. Then Dan and Phil share a look and a nod and before I can react, they both jump on me and hit me with pillows, knocking me to the ground in a helpless ball of laughter and hiccups.
