But he's my best friend? -Phan

Chapter 17- Mixed POV

Dan POV-

We arrived at the gathering, a building buzzing with a large variety of formally dressed youtubers and their friends. I squeezed Phil's hand as I just needed one last touch before we had to be "just-friends" again. He kissed my hand affectionately and then left the car. We entered the building side by side. The room was a deep shade of dark red lit with a dim orange-y glow from the candles and table lights. The dance floor was scattered with balloons and multi-coloured lights,  extravagant decorations hung from the roof and a massive changing slideshow of clips from various you tube videos. A brightly lit stage revealed that a live band was playing later on, but background music was being played from  the speakers either side of the stage.

Waiters weaved between the multiple circular tables covered in white table cloths that were scattered round the room carrying a range of entrées and drinks. Lastly the left side of the room was fully windows with a glass door revealing the flower garden lit with fairy lights in which the firework were being set off from.

Everyone looked incredible, but nobody could drag my attention to the boy glued to my side as we attempted to find seats without getting separated. Phil lead the way to a table midway between the stage and  the backdoor to the garden. No-one had sat at the table yet. 

The party was already in full-swing as unlike the others we arrived 'slightly' late. Many of our friends were placed on multiple tables or were up dancing therefore we decided that if on the off chance we got separated we would meet here at 11:45 so that we wouldn't miss the new year and with that we left.

Phil POV

I checked my watch. 11:30. "I really should find Dan, thanks for the dance Cat" I smiled at her. "You two really can't bare to be apart" she gigged. I opened my mouth to deny it, but had no argument. I missed him. We only were apart for at most half an hour and I didn't want to be away from him any longer.

I made my way back to the table, to find Dan already sitting there. "Your early" I smirked, "so are you" he chuckled. I grabbed his hand under the table. "I didn't want to be away from you any longer" I explained to him as he started to blush.

Soon after the band stopped telling everyone to go out for the one minute count-down to new years. So the crowd swarmed out the glass door leaving Phil and I. "Should we not go" I said stepping towards the door. To feeling a tugging on my hand, and an arm sliding to the curve in my back and pulling me towards him.

"But Dan... people" was all I could say with his body pressed tightly against my own. He moved us slightly back, to a place not visible from the view of the window.He leaned in to my face, placing his lips close to my own but not quite touching them. He parted them slightly and I could feel his breath, before whispering "Phil don't you see, I want to start this year how I want to finish it, with you." He then looked into my eyes and smiled softly as the sound of everyone counting down echoed around us 10, 9, 8.. I placed my hand on his cheek 7, 6, 5, 4, he inched his body closer to mine and whispered "three" running his hand up the back of my shirt and touching my skin. "Two" I replied running the hand on his cheek to under his chin and pulled his face centimeters from my own, "one" we whispered together before pressing our already touching lips together passionately. 

Time stopped. In this second it was me and him. The cheering crowd and exploding fireworks muted, the venue invisible, his love engulfed me and was all I could see and hear and I never wanted it any other way. Panting he pulled away slightly, "how am I supposed to keep you a secret, when all I want to do is scream how perfect you are and how they should be jealous of me for having you?"

With that we walked out from are corner. Back to being 'just friends'. "Taxi's at one Dan, make sure your at the door" I informed him. He grinned "we will probably be early again" he said winking towards me. I took a few steps when my phone buzzed.

*Inserted was a photo of Dan and I kissing less than a few minutes ago*

I turned round to tell Dan, however when I saw him blankly staring at his own phone I realized he had got it too. He looked up at me with fear in his eyes and we looked round the packed room. It could have been anyone of these people. Why would anyone do this? I thought the room was empty? It definitely was. There was  nobody but us. We could get outed at any second.

 Authors Note- Hey guys, hope you enjoy this, any theories who? Why would anyone want to get back at Dan and Phil. I'm not going to say much more, so I don't give it away but thanks for reading. Love you guys! - Emily x
