Request: Hey! Can you make a fanfic where, the reader and Dan are good friends but Phil told all the other youtubers that you and him were together. So, you act like a couple but in reality both of you were actually falling for each other...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here you were, yet again. Out the front of a beautiful apartment with music blaring through the entire neighbourhood. A youtubers party.
You yourself were no famous YouTuber but happened to be friends with one of the most popular. Dan Howell.
As soon as you both reached the front door, it was opened by a rather intoxicated Tyler Oakly.
"Here's the happy couple!" He yelled excitedly.
"What-" you started but were cut off instantly by Tyler
"Phil told us all! I always shipped y'all!" Why on earth had phil done that?
"We aren't-" again you were cut off. But this time by Dan who suddenly wrapped his arm around your waist
"Yeah. Finally together!" Dan laughed. Tyler giggled happily before running back into the party.
"Dan what was that about?"
"Well, we might as well go along with it or it could get awkward. Plus it'd be fun!"
"Okay.." You reluctantly agreed.
You both walked through the door, instantly surrounded by various welcoming youtubers. You walked off to the kitchen, getting Dan and yourself a drink. When you got back Dan was in deep conversation with a group, so you held his drink out to him without interrupting. After taking it from your hand his free arm snaked around your waist without hesitation.
You can't lie, it felt good. Being so close to him was different, but a good sort of different.
~ Dan's POV ~
I'm not completely sure why phil started a rumour that Y/N and I are dating, but in all honesty I was enjoying holding her to my side.
She had become engrossed with the conversation and I couldn't help but admire her beauty.
The way her eyes would sparkle with joy when she laughed and the way she would lick her perfect lips after every sip of her beverage.
I'm not sure why I'm only now noticing all these things about her, probably because I've only ever thought of her as an untouchable friend, but pretending to be her boyfriend is giving me a new perspective of our relationship.
I noticed her cup was empty so I took it from her and and whispered in her ear
"I'll get you another drink, love" and left a soft kiss on her temple before walking away. I heard a chorus of 'awe's' as I was walking and looked back to see Y/N blushing.
When I walked back with her cup now full, I found Y/N swaying to the music with PJ. She looked like she was having the time of her life but as soon as PJ's arms wrapped around her, my blood began to boil. I know he's drunk but she is still my girl.
But she's not. Fuck.
I couldn't help myself, I marched over and pushed PJ away from her.
"I'll take it from here thanks mate" I said a bit more aggressively than originally planned.
"Dan, we were just dancing" y/n informed me calmly.
"I know... I just... I didn't like him having his arms around you..."
"But Dan... We- we aren't really together" she whispered. I didn't know hearing her say that could hurt so much...
~ your POV ~
It hurt to say that... To be honest I think tonight has introduced new feelings for Dan to me...
"I know... I'm sorry" he replied looking slightly... Disappointed?
The night grew on and people were now much more intoxicated. Tyler came stumbling over to us
"I havmt seen the new couple kiss yet!" He slurred and soon enough people were chanting the word 'kiss'... It's funny how some drunk people turn back into 10 year olds..
"Oh my god guys how-" I got cut off in the best way possible as Dan's plump, soft lips attached to mine. Sparks flew through my entire body and suddenly Dan and I were the only two there. Dan pulled back, looking straight into my eyes as he if to make sure I was okay. All I could do was smile as Dan cupped my cheek and surprisingly connect our lips once again, kissing me even deeper than before.
"Okay.. Uhh. That's enough" I heard tyler say, causing me to pull away and giggle. I looked up and Dan looked happier than ever, eyes still connected to me. I was in that moment that I realised I was falling, or had fallen, for my best friend.
Dan took a hold of my hand, pulling me into an empty hall where he pressed me against the wall and connected our lips again
"Dan, no ones telling us to kiss now"
"I don't care, I love you Y/N"
