Hello Internet. - A Dan Howell AU/Fanfiction

Chapter Two: Thanks.

After finishing the video, Dan sighs. He clicks on 'upload' and leans back in his chair.

"I have fucking cancer!" he says, throwing his arms up and letting out an ironic laughter, pain in his voice. A tear falls from his eye, followed by many other. He runs his hands through his hair, messing it up. He lays down on his bed, burying his head in a pillow.

After a while, Daniel throws away the pillow, wet stains all over it. He grabs another pillow and lays on his hide, hugging it.

"Dan?" A familiar voice says, followed by knocks on his door. After a while of not answering, Phil slowly opens the door, peeking in. Seeing the younger yet taller boy laying on his bed crying, he steps inside. He sits on the edge of the bed, placing a hand on Dan's shoulder. "Dan, it's okay."

"How is it okay, Phil?" The brunette says, sitting up. "I'm going to die!"

"Don't say that, Dan. A lot of people survive canc-" Phil tries to say, but gets interrupted by Dan.

"But some don't! Especially with brain cancer!" He says, tears streaming down his face. "...I don't want to die, Phil" he leans against Phil's chest.

"We're going to try everything, Dan. You're my best friend, I'm not giving up on you that easy," Phil says, looking down at him, earning a small laugh. "We'll figure something out and it'll all be okay. I promise."

"Thanks," he says. Silence occur, Dan still leaning himself against Phil, Phil's arm around him. "...I'm scared, Phil." he says after a while

"I know, I get it. I'm scared too"

"...Phil." Dan says, looking up at him.

"Yeah?"

"I just ruined you shirt," he grins, making Phil start laughing. Dan soon joins in.

After a while, they both stop laughing.

"You should sleep," Phil says, looking at the clock. "We have to go to the hospital tomorrow" he looks at Dan, whose smile has dissapeared form his lips. He gives him a slight nod and lays down. Phil picks up the thrown pillow and gives it to Dan. "Good night, Dan." he gives him a slight smile.

"Good night Philly," he responds, knowing he'll barely sleep. He has too many thoughts in his head. Phil closes the door, leaving Dan with only his thoughts.
