In The Stars (a Danisnotonfire Fan-Fiction)

Chapter One

Dan's Point of View

Phil and myself were in Charleston, South Carolina, one of our final destinations of "The Amazing Book is Not on Fire" tour. When we arrived at the venue, we were overrun by a torrent of fans. There were young adults and young children, and everything in-between. I saw hundreds of faces with sharpie marker cat whiskers and took just as many pictures, along with Phil. 

There was one fan who stuck out to me the most. She was kind of tall, probably 5'7 and she had a slight tan. Her hair was an electric red and cut in kind of a "punk" style with the ends of her hair and bangs coloured black. She had an array of colourful tattoos and was wearing a leather vest and a white t-shirt with dark jeans. I grabbed Phil's wrist and dragged him over to her.

As we got closer to her, I saw that she had several facial and ear piercings. A spider-bites piercing, a nose ring, a rook piercing, and a cartilage piercing or two, along with her lobes pierced. I smirked to myself as I realised that we were wearing matching ear studs. 

Phil and I approached her and she turned just as we arrived. She bit her full, pink lip and smiled. "H-hi..." she stuttered out. She was just as awkward as we were, but she didn't appear to be freaking out.

"Hello. I'm Dan and this is Phil, but I presume you know that?" I said, a lot smoother than I had expected to. She nodded vigorously. I chuckled and noticed a small tattoo on her right wrist. It was the cat nose and whiskers. "Phil look," I said, "she has a tattoo for us. That's so cool." She blushed and nodded shyly. "What's your name?" I asked.

"My name is Niamnh..." she said with a shy smile, looking at her burgundy Vans.

"Niamnh...that's a lovely name." I said. I assume I said it in a flirtatious manner because she raised her eyebrow at me.

"Dan Howell, are you flirting with me?" she asked. I merely nodded and we began making small talk. Phil had wandered off and when I glanced over, it appeared to me that he was flirting with a short, blonde girl. "That's my best friend Hannah that you're looking at." she chuckled.

I turned to look at Niamnh. "Really? Now what if they start dating? Wouldn't that be funny, Phil and I dating best friends?" I said.

"Phil and you?" she asked with a smirk. "You think so?"

I mentally cursed myself. "Well I was going to surprise you by inviting you to dinner and maybe a movie at my hotel room but I guess that's ruined now huh?"

"Kinda ruined, but we don't have to do anything fancy. After this, come find me and you and I will go to my apartment and I'll order Chinese food and we can watch something on Netflix." she chuckled.  

"That sounds fantastic. Shall I just wear what I'm wearing now or should I come in a tuxedo?" I joked with a half-smile.

She smirked at me. "Wear sweatpants. Oh, shower first. I want one hundred percent natural Dan, no straighteners, chemicals, or artificial flavouring. Just, normal Dan."

I feigned offense. "Well then you'll have to wait for me, as I have no sense of direction in this country."

She smirked and nodded. We exchanged phone numbers and she headed back to her friend and glanced at Phil, who was walking back to me.

He looked at me questioningly. I realized that I must have been smiling. "Dan, how'd it go?" he asked.

I looked at him with a grin. "We have a date tonight."

WELL THERE'S THE FIRST CHAPTER FOR YA!!!! I know it could be longer but I was running out of conversations to prolong the first chapter, so 615 words will have to satisfy you for now. But I promise they'll be longer and I also promise that I'll be updating this quite often, along with the other fan-fiction on my page. I've given up entirely on the other one.

LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING VERY QUICKLY: so the way that these installments are going to work are as follows: if it's Dan's POV, then things will be spelled like they're spelled everywhere except America. If it's in Niamnh's POV then it's gonna be spelled the American way. Just thought I'd clear that up, because I promise I'm not being inconsistent.

Update days will be Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday.

I love you guys 8000000% ~ Rebecca <3
