House Plants ✹ Phan

Chapter 22

Dan's POV
-
We cuddled up together on the park bench and Phil looked so good. His muscular arms wrapped around me and he laid his head on my shoulder.
"Babe... Babe?" I softly woke up him. "Were you sleepy?" I smiled as he sat up.
"I must've been so comfy, I dozed off." He yawned. "What time is it?"
"6:20p.m."
"We better page the driver."
"Already did, baby." I held him closely and kissed him the head.
The driver pulled up at 6:28p.m. We got into the backseat.
"Sorry I'm late, boys."
"No, you're okay. We were just relaxing at the park." Phil explained.
"So can I ask a question?" The driver looked at us in the rearview mirror.
We looked at each other, then said, "Sure."
"You're Danisnotonfire and Amazingphil, right?"
Phil chuckled. "Yes."
"Is Phan real?"
We went quiet and tried not to laugh at the fact a man, older than us, knew who we are and asked.
"My kids have always watched your videos. We live in the area and they told me they managed to get tickets for yesterday's show."
"What are your kids' names?" Phil wondered.
"I have 3. A son, Austin, a daughter, Katie, she often goes by Kitten, and my youngest daughter,-"
"Autumn Rose?" I said. "Sorry to interrupt."
"Yes, did you meet them?"
"We did. All three of them asked us questions and Autumn got a picture." Phil reminisced.
"Autumn asked us a very beautiful question. She wanted to know what we would be doing if Phil and I had never met each other."
"My little five year old said that?"
"Your kids are very great. Tell them you drove us, okay?" Phil smiled.
The driver was just about the leave when he yelled to us. "You never answered my question."
I kissed Phil right in front of him and shushed him. "We're keeping it quiet for now."
"Your secret is safe with me." He winked and drove off.
"He was nice. That was cool." Phil shooed me inside. "It's almost showtime."

"Hello there!" Phil walked out. "Hm... I must be forgetting something."
He walked across the stage. "I have my phone... I have my keys.... Oh. Dan?"
I poked my head out from behind the chairs set up on stage for us during the show. I shushed the audience as I pulled down my mask and snuck around by Phil.
"Where is that silly Brit?"
I stood up and the crowd laughed.
"Dan?"
Tapping him on the shoulder, I snuck around to one side and stood there, waiting for him to flip out.
"DAN... I COULD'VE DIED!" He smacked my mask.
"Ow." I took off the mask. "Hello everyone!" The crowd laughed.
"Now that we have both of our acts on stage..." Phil teased and smiled at me.
We went on with the show until Phil just stared at me.
"Are you okay?" I looked at him, then the audience, and him again.
"Yeah. I was just wondering why you were so giddy. You weren't earlier."
"You fell asleep at the park, so how would you know whether or not something happened?" I laughed. The crowd went quiet and stared at me. "Shit.... I almost came out on stage."
"What the- PHIL!" He popped out behind me, wearing my mask. The crowd busted out in laughter. Phil bowed and removed the mask.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked, scared.
"You'll pay for that. This is now war!" I cheered, laughing.

Phil's POV
-
We left the theater, laughing. "That was the most fun I've ever had.." Dan smiled.
"I've heard that before. Remember our first collaboration on YouTube?"
"Where you tackled me and I had no idea what to do..... I loved it. That's when I knew I was falling hard for you."
"Why didn't you tell me?" I took his hand.
"Oh Philly. You know how hard it was for you to say it to yourself, let alone the guy your heart beats for."
"True. I'm glad our rooms are so close at home." He looked at me when I said that.
"You wouldn't have heard me as easily if you weren't across the hall."
"When we get back home... Let's combine our rooms."
I was so excited to hear him say that, that I kissed him forcefully as we entered the hotel room.
