He's Everything I Have

     Dan and Phil had come out to their phandom not long after their tour. In the video they put out on Dan's channel, they explained how they had been officially dating since the end of 2012 and now they felt as if it was the right time to tell everyone. The phandom had practically rejoiced throughout Tumblr, but of course, not everyone was happy. In fact, there was quite a bit of the phandom that left after hearing the news. Many of them had dreamed the fangirl dream of marrying one of the two and the news broke their hearts. Some silently left the phandom, while unfortunately others stayed to harass the newly exposed couple and sent them hate. Dan and Phil both expected this reaction, but to see it actually play out really hurt. Phil had gotten an extreme amount of death threats from the dangirls, and Dan felt absolutely horrible about it. Out of the two of them, Phil definitely had it worse. They tried not to let it put a rift in their relationship, because Lord knows they didn't need a repeat of 2012. However, the rift formed not long after their tour ended, when their address got leaked onto Twitter.

     Phil was going to the bakery to get Dan his regular dose of bagels when some phangirls stopped him, except these weren't normal phangirls. These girls had practically been stalking both Dan and Phil for the past two weeks, and by this point it was really starting to scare them. The girls had started out sweet and asked for pictures, but they became more malicious as time went on. They ended up cornering Phil outside the bakery and demanded why it had to be him that got to date Dan. The more Phil saw the furry in their eyes – the more scared he got. They yelled the death threats in his face and pushed him around. Phil, absolutely terrified, yelled at them that he would call the police and file a restraining order if he or Dan ever saw them again. He pushed himself out of the group and practically ran all the way back to the flat. Once he saw Dan, he fell into his arms and broke down in tears while he explained what happened. Dan felt his heart sink as he held Phil tight; he couldn't help but feel like it was his fault for letting dangirls become a thing back when they first started.

     It was at that precise moment that both their phones started ringing. Startled, Dan jumped a bit and looked down at his phone. It was Louise. He hit decline, and figured he could call her back later seeing Phil do the same to whoever was calling him. Phil was more important to Dan at the moment. But then the ringing wouldn't stop. Every time they hit decline on their phones someone else would call. Dan's heart sunk further. If their friends were acting like this then that meant something terrible in the YouTube world had happened.

     Taking a deep breath Dan answered his phone, "What? This had better be-"

     -and was stopped dead in his tracks.

     Louise cut him off telling him horrible news – their address had been leaked by a phandom account on Twitter. Dan promptly hung up and told Phil whose face fell further. He tried to say it was his fault - that he wasn't careful enough when he ran away from those crazed phangirls. They must have followed him and posted it.

     "Damn it, Phil! For the last time this isn't your fault!" Dan yelled throwing his hands up in the air.

     "Yes, it is! I pressured you to come out and you gave in! And now the phandom is practically after us! I don't even feel safe anymore!"

     "Phil! Don't be daft! We just have to think-"

     "Daft! I'm far from daft!"

     "Phil that's not what I-"

     "Do you even care about me? About us? We could be in serious danger, Dan! People know our address! This is my fault because I was too panicked to think clearly!" Phil yelled back.

     "Phil you're blowing this out of proportion! What stupid small girl is going to come to our flat – a flat that tall six foot men live in may I remind you – and be able to pull anything on us! Honestly, Phil, we could take out our entire phandom by ourselves! I'm not scared of them!" Dan said completely exasperated flailing his arms about.
