dan walked down the sidewalk, with his friend, chris. everyone wishes to know what dans voice sounds like, especially his boyfriend, phil. he's been trying for years to hear his voice. ever since they got together in high school, phils been with him every step of the way. chris was a talker and he could talk off anyone's ear in less than 10 minutes.
"so I'm like," chris said exaggerating every word. "dude why would you do that? and to your girlfriend too? because i mean what girl likes to be called that during sex?" chris was also the sex advocate.
got annoying at times, but dan has known him for about his entire life. dan nodded, not really caring what he was talking about. chris sighed. "dan," he said softly. "are you ever gonna talk?" dan rolled his eyes and pulled his phone out, and sent a text to chris.
to dickbutt;
when im ready u douche
chris laughed and nodded.
2 weeks later:!
it was almost christmas and dan knows for a fact that he has the best present ever. he decided he was ready, and shouldn't be hiding behind a notepad and phil all the time. he's been mentally preparing himself ever since the anniversary of his family's death, September 11th. it was a hard time on him, seeing as how he got out but the rest of his family didn't.
after 2 weeks of feeling like shit, he went mute. not talking to anyone, the only thing close to hearing his voice was his laugh.
to dan, being selectively mute had its ups and downs, pros and cons. pro; not having to talk to people he hates, avoiding annoying family members. cons; his YouTube career. its hard for him to engage with his subscribers, especially during Internet Support Group.
they still love him though. they'll defend him litrally everytime they get.
- christmas ""they are literally in Santa""
some of phils family was there, so its not just them, pj, and chris. everyone gave hugs and they sat down to eat after telling stories. after everyone got done eating after 2 hours and 43 minutes (yes dan counted), they finally settled on presents.
phil got dan a new camera, since grace didn't see his other camera and sat on it. it didn't cost juh though, it was of those cheap cameras that had a good enough HD to sustain him awhile.
pj stood up by the christmas tree. "guys," he called out. everyone kept talking. "guys," he yelled now. he looked at chris pleadingly.
"yo fucknuggets," he pointed to pj "listen to pj." pj kissed him on the cheek and chris blushed.
"dan wants to share something with you all." he said. dan smiled at everyone.
he turned to phil who had wide eyes. "he-hey phil," he started. phil had tears in his eyes. "i love you." phil lunged at him and hugged him. everyone cheered, pj and chris werenoff doing who knows what, and dan and phil; they did what dan and phil do best. they made a video, where they didn't have to have subtitles, dan could talk freely now. he left the phandom in tears.
they posted reaction videos and they were literally crying tears. '#candanexpressanopinion' was tredning worldwide and him and phil couldn't be happier.
