Just Friends (Phil Lester x Reader)

Part 15 - Invitations

The last month had been the best in your entire life. Ever since the incident with that guy, you'd noticed that both boys were more protective of you, especially Phil. But to be honest you didn't mind having two, tall, nerdy bodyguards. Also since that day, Dan and Phil had sucked you into the vortex of anime and you spent most of your time over at their house watching Death Note. If you didn't have your own apartment people would think that you lived there. As well as hanging out with Dan and Phil you'd also met some of their friends, who you absolutely adored. You'd already met Pj when you first met Dan and Phil but they also introduced you to the fourth and final member of the fantastic foursome, Chris. He was so funny and strange, but really all of the boys are. You also met several other Youtuber's including Zoe, Alfie, Joe, Casper and Louise. All these people were so amazing and different to one another and they had such a massive fan base. But there was one thing they all had in common and that was that they were YouTuber's, it sort of made you feel left out that you didn't have a channel. You felt like the odd one out but that was ok they were still your friends.

You were sitting, well kind of half laying, on Dan and Phil's couch watching Adventure Time. You were laying on your side, using your elbow to prop yourself up and your legs were dangling over the front of the couch. Dan was sitting next to you on his laptop and Phil was in the kitchen making lunch. "Are you sure you're comfortable y/n?" Dan asked, peering over at you. You shrugged, "not really, but I'll live," you replied keeping your eyes on the tv. Dan sighed and lifted his laptop, "here put your legs on my lap." You looked over at him, a smirk playing on your lips, "ok, Daniel."

"Oh, shut up y/n, or my offer will close," you shook your head and lifted your legs onto his lap. After you got yourself comfortable Dan put his laptop on your legs and continued to do whatever he was doing before. Moments later Phil walked into the living room, "guys I just got an invite to Pj's birthday party!" Both you and Dan turned around, "how come I didn't get invited?" Was the first thing that came out of Dan's mouth, then Dan's phone buzzed and moments later so did yours. You looked at the message and it was from Pj, you looked up at Dan and smirked. "What did you say, Howell? Not invited?"

Dan rolled his eyes, "shut up y/l/n."

"That's what I thought," you laughed.

"Well I'm going, I'm not sure about you two love birds," Dan said replying to Pj's text, you immediately blushed and Phil looked down.

"Wow, you didn't even deny it, I'm surprised y/n." He continued closing his laptop and standing up. "I'll leave you two to chat," Dan said smirking as he left the room.

Phil rubbed the back of his neck shuffling closer to the couch, "so... Are you coming to the party?"

You sighed, yes you really did want to go but if you felt out of place with two YouTubers imagine how out of place you would feel with over 30 YouTubers. It is Pj's birthday party and you are his friend, but it would be really uncomfortable for you being surrounded by such creative people.

"Y/n?" Phil said snapping you out of your thoughts.

"Oh um... I'll think about it. I don't really know yet," you replied nervously sitting up. Phil frowned and sat next to you.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing... It's stupid don't worry," you replied shifting in your spot. Phil leant over and put his hand on your knee.

"You can tell me anything y/n, you know that. What is it?" You sighed loudly and realised once again that Phil wasn't going to let it go.

"What if I don't fit in?" Phil's expression immediately softened and he moved closer to you.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means you're all YouTubers, it means you're all super creative people with super amazing lives. It means I'm a university failure with the lowest paying job at Starbucks!" You spat out crossing your arms, Phil pouted and you immediately regretted yelling at him. Surprisingly, Phil wrapped his arms around your shoulders and pulled you onto his lap.

"You're just looking at it all wrong," he whispered in your ear which made you shiver, Phil didn't seem to notice and continued. "I'm a 30-year-old nerd that watches Adventure Time and sits in front of a camera talking to myself. Dan's a 26-year-old that still doesn't know how to function in society, but the one thing we have in common is that we both are friends... With you and you're a gorgeous, intelligent, hilarious, kind and generous woman with the most beautiful heart I've ever seen. So really we are the ones who are out of place."

This made you smile and frown at the same time, you just wanted to kiss Phil right there and then but he reminded you that you and Phil were, just friends.

You looked up at Phil and smiled, "thanks, Phil." Then you realised how close your faces were, Phil gently lifted his hand and brushed a piece of hair out of your face. He smiled warmly at you, that smile that made your heart flutter, you felt the space between your faces lessen, was this really happening, oh god it is. Calm down y/n, calm-

A/n:

Hehe I'm soooooooo evil! Tune in for the next chapter to find out if you kiss the man of your dreams or not?
