Internet Friends

Chapter 5

Your POV

Tonight had been absolutely amazing; everyone was so friendly and fun! Some people had been vlogging while there which meant you were going to be on their channels which was so exciting! It was about one thirty now though and everyone had decided that it was probably time to go, you said your goodbyes and hugged everyone before they left and it was just you, Dan and Phil. Phil hugged you and said he was going to bed, pat Dan on the shoulder and walked out. Then Ed Sheeran came on. Your brain functions were still pretty limited and you loved this song so, when Dan held his hand out to you to dance, you took it far too quickly, burying your face in his chest, one arm around his shoulder and holding his hand with your other hand. You danced like that for a while, listening to his heart beat as well as the song. His heart seemed to be beating really fast, you just assumed it was because of the alcohol and ignored it. You gave in, admitting to yourself that you had feelings for him and let your heart beat just as fast as his was. You wanted to look at his beautiful face so you took your head from his chest and looked up at him. He looked you in the eye immediately and you diverted your eyes to his lips, unintentionally. You really wanted to kiss him but what if he didn't want that? What if he thought you were just friends? What if he had feelings for someone else? All of these thoughts ran through your head in the time it took Dan to lean down and, gently, press his lips to yours. He was so gentle, almost like he was asking for permission. You were so shocked at first you couldn't move but, after a quick second, you leant into the kiss, wrapping both of your arms around his neck. You could feel every one of his heart beats, it was almost like his heart was in sync with yours, you kept kissing him, running your fingers through his hair, it felt so good to kiss him, so right. You'd kissed so many people and it had never felt like this before, like he was holding you to the ground. His arms were both wrapped around your waist now and he was lifting you up so that you were on the same level as him. Your flats fell off your feet and you giggled into the kiss. Dan eventually pulled away to breathe, he pressed his forehead against yours; still holding you up, looked into your eyes and smiled. Something flickered in his eyes and his smile faded, he put you back on your feet, releasing you, and walked over to the kitchen, pouring a glass of water and handing it to you, telling you to drink. "It does appear you've had a bit much to drink." He said, showing a half-hearted smile.

"I feel fine." You said and you did. Kissing Dan had sobered you up completely. You walked over to him and wrapped your arms around his waist. "What's wrong?" you asked, starting to worry now.

"Did you only kiss me because you were drunk? Was it a pity thing? Because I don't want you to pity me. I'm so sorry I shouldn't have kissed you when you'd been drinking, I shouldn't have taken advantage of you like that." It all just came flooding out, you could hear the panic start to rise in his voice and you moved your hands from around his waist to his face, cupping his cheeks and pulling his face down to yours and giving him a small peck on the lips. "Daniel James Howell, you are the most amazing, kind, funny, spirited and attractive boys I've ever met, since I got here all I've wanted is to hold you or kiss you. I didn't kiss you because I felt bad, I kissed you because I goddamn wanted to. Because, no matter what happens, you are the single most amazing human being I've ever met and I want this." You looked into his eyes, he was staring right back as he felt every single word that came out of your mouth. For a second he just looked at you, then you were in his arms again, his lips crashing to yours and he was carrying you up to his bedroom.
