The Bully Wants Me- Dan X Reader (Dan Howell AU)

Chapter 16

'You still have all of my heart'

'D-Dan, can I talk to you?' I asked in a shaky voice. He gave me a soft smile, gesturing me to continue. 'Is there something bothering you? You rarely talk to me these days' I said with tiny tears forming in my eyes.

He looked at me and frowned, pushing a strand of hair behind my ear. 'Nothing is, I promise. Maybe I was too dim to enjoy the presence of my favorite human being that happens to be the best girlfriend ever' he sighed gloomily. 'I'm sorry'

'That's okay, I'm just happy you're at least talking to me' I assured, 'But are you sure there's nothing bugging you?' I repeated, this time more sternly. He hesitated for a while. 'Actually, yes' he answered in a throaty voice.

'Can we talk?' He asked. I nodded my head, 'Of coarse, I'm here' I said, spreading a firm smile across my face. He gestured me somewhere away deep in the forest, but not deep enough to get lost in. The fragrant smell of the damp grass calmed me.

'So, couple of days ago I always felt neglected. From my parents, which made me feel belittled since I look up to them. With my brother being the perfect child my parents adore so dearly, they kind of invest all their time in him, but not on me. I don't know, it just makes me feel a bit-- angry.' He explained, with his voice trembling.

I frowned. 'I hope you never feel that again. I know what it feels like, honestly. It's not very nice to cope with the fact that you're not being appreciated. But consider this; I, for one, really am grateful for you. I really love you. And there's no point in denying that. I love you'

He flashed me a pained smile. 'Thanks, I love you too' he whispered. I rested my head on his chest.

'Promise me that you'll talk to me whenever you're feeling down. I want to be there for you' I said. He smiled, while ruffling my hair.

'I love you, princess'

I woke up, feeling Dan's hand locked around my waist.

I can hardly believe that I slept with him, deep in the forest, where no one expects two adolescent campers to be sleeping in. 'Dan' my voice chirped. He left me with a muffled groan.

'Let me sleep for a while, Princess' he groaned, while he left a sloppy kiss on top of my head. I can't help but blush when he calls me a princess. 'It's six thirty' I informed. 'Dan, we need to leave' I warned.

'Love, give me at least two minutes' he said. I dart my eyes at my watch, while feeling my heart ignite from the feeling of bliss.

Our teacher/ supervisor, Ms Cole made us walk through the woods. It wasn't nice,mat all. I get scratches on my legs by the twigs, and I am not much of a runner. While I panted, I looked behind me to see Louise suffering.

She let out a muffled groan. 'Y/N' she breathed sharply, 'I can't take it!' She whined. 'We're here now' I informed, causing her to sign deeply. 'Thank god..' She huffed.

I looked up at Dan, who was talking to Phil. 'L, are you hungry?' I asked her. 'No, I'm doing fine' Louise smiled. 'Are you?' She questioned me.

'I kind of am' I admitted shyly. A faint snicker was head from behind me. I dart my head back to see Alina, crossing her arms. Louise rolled her eyes at Alina, and glanced away. 'My leggings are ripped' Louise frowned.

'Trust me Lou, Mother Nature's serving you a favor. It's telling you to get rid of your ugly leggings' Alina snorted. I shot her a threatening glare. 'Fuck off Alina' I growled lowly. 'Oh, so scared' she rolled her eyes irritatingly.

'What do you know about fashion, Y/N? Your clothes--'

'Her clothes are what, Alina? Say it to my fucking face, Alina! Otherwise, fuck off!' Barked Daniel. 'No one likes people who take pride in being a jerk' Phil barged in.

Being speechless, she left with embarrassment smothering her. I giggled lightly while pecking Dan's cheek. 'Alina acts like she has friends, what a try-hard' I heard a group of girls said behind us.

'Campers, we're going back to our camping site, and we'll be getting ready for a bonfire night tonight!' Squeaked Ms Cole.

I felt someone tap lightly on my shoulder. I glanced up to see a girl I wasn't expecting to see. 'Hey Y/N' Amorie greeted weakly. 'Hello?' I said with a questioning tone in my voice. 'I came here to apologize, even though I know that you wouldn't forgive me' she said.

'And I won't blame you if you don't' she muttered. 'Am, it's okay. I forgive you. If you like him, then it's really not my problem. He really likes you, from want I've heard'

And with that, she left. I breathed sharply, while heading to Dan, Phil, Louise, Shane, Connor and Tyler. They were talking about the environment surrounding them.

'Hey guys' I smiled at them. 'Hey' they chorused. 'I really like YouTube, I've started adding my content there.' Louise giggled. 'I like Shane's channel' Tyler laughed. 'Dan, you should create a channel!' Connor urged.

'No guys, YouTube isn't my thing' Dan declined, smiling. 'You don't know the joys of having a channel because you don't have one!' Tyler whined. Dan just snorted.

We just snuggled underneath the warmth of the fire centering the circle we sat in. Dan sniffed, while narrowing his eyes. 'I feel-- hot' he said oddly.

We turned around and saw the flames raging. The fire grew bigger, and the campers shrieked and gasped. 'Get a fire extinguisher, Miss Jackson!' Dan panicked.

Miss Jackson handed it to Dan, and saved us all.

'Is Dan on fire?' Ms Cole asked Miss Jackson.

'Dan is not on fire ' Miss Jackson answered.

Phil just ran out from the scene to talk to his mother on the phone.

Tyler smirked. 'I think we found our Danny boy a YouTube channel name' he said. Conner grimaced. 'Say hello to danisnotonfire' he giggled.

'Guys, let's make Dan a channel without him knowing' Louise suggested.

'Yeah!' Conner and Tyler agreed, while cheering. He got his profile picture from Facebook and started something that'd be big one day...
