EPILOGUE

Dan and Phil were married 4 months later in London. All of their YouTube friends were invited, Louise, Cat, Felix, PJ...all of them. And Dan and Phil's families showed up, both incredibly supportive. But the guests of honor happened to be two American teenagers that they met in Tokyo...their saviors and sole confidants, Henry and Jordyn. The wedding was amazing, and so much fun. But there was one comment that kept resurfacing amongst all of the guests, and that was how in love Dan and Phil were. It was beautiful.
As it turns out, Dan and Phil's ideas back in the airport were the same...and two months after the wedding, they signed the adoption papers, giving them full custody of two American teenage orphans...Henry and Jordyn.
But Dan and Phil weren't the parental type, exactly. No, instead, they were friends to the two, which was lucky since at this point, Henry and Jordyn were practically independent. Dan and Phil just signed permission slips when necessary and cooked dinner. But they were incredibly happy. The kids were enrolled in a London public school, which was thrilling for the two, who were now officially brother and sister. Phil moved into Dan's room, and bunk beds were bought for Henry and Jordyn. The YouTube subscribers loved them, and Henry and Jordyn loved YouTube. They became an Internet power family of sorts. It was the happiest Dan and Phil had ever been.

"I love this," Phil said softly, leaning on his husband as they looked out the window. Dan grabbed Phil's hand, their rings clinking.
"Me too," Dan said lovingly. They watched as Henry and Jordyn walked down the street, backpacks on, to catch their bus to school. "There they go...our kids." Phil shook his head.
"Friends?"
"No..." Phil said softly.
"What are they then?" Dan laughed.
"Our guardian angels," Phil decided, smiling.
"Why do you say that?" Dan asked, knowing the answer already.
"Because they did this," Phil said, lifting Dan's hand to show their matching rings.
"That is pretty special, huh?" Dan asked, leaning into kiss Phil. It was exhilarating, and he felt the same ecstasy that he felt the first time. And every time after that.
