Dan and Phil One Shots (2)

Extremely Adorable

TW: I don't know.. insecurities?

Dan softly giggled as Phil said something funny. "That was the most fun I've ever had." Dan mumbled before Phil dived forward and pushed Dan back, making them both laugh.

"I'm so glad you stalked me." Phil chuckled.

"So am I." Phil removed himself from where he wants on top of Dan. Dan blushed (a lot) and stood up. "I'm just going to go-" Dan started but Phil confidently cut him off.

"Why are you suddenly so shy? What happened to the confident Dan Howell that made sexual innuendos?" Dan let out a tiny giggle but immediately covered his mouth to quieten the sound. "Why did you do that?"

"Do what?" Dan barely whispered, his happiness draining. His mood changed within seconds. He was overjoyed to be with his best friend but now he just felt self-conscious.

"You covered your mouth!"

"I didn't."

"Yeah, you did."

"Oh, well, sorry."

"Why did you do it?"

"Because, you know... I giggle."

"And?"

"I don't know." Dan muttered before standing up and dropping his gaze to the floor. "It's late.. we should be getting to bed."

"That's fine by me!" Phil softly smiled at Dan but, not long after, sent him a look to say 'I won't forget this, we're talking later'. "Is it okay if we share a bed? I actually can't be bothered to get the sofa bed ready."

"I can sleep on the sofa if you want?"

"It's just plain harsh to make the guest sleep on the sofa!"

"Yeah, but-"

"You're sleeping with me." Phil held out his hand for Dan to take.

"Do I have to?" Dan's response caught Phil off guard: he expected Dan to act more... positive? Phil thought that Dan could possibly like him back; all the signs were there over Skype? Maybe Dan disliked who he was in person..

"No, I guess you don't." Phil's hand dropped back to his side as a frown formed on his face.

"I'll sleep down here on the sofa or on the floor?"

"Either's good. I'll get you a duvet, one moment." Phil disappeared for a couple of moments, leaving Dan to think.

He was feeling... terrible. He had feelings for Phil and he wanted them to go away, hence why he was trying his best: 1. to act like he wasn't in love and 2. to avoid all situations which could potentially lead to any 'love-y' moments. No unnecessary touching. No love-y looks.

"Got it!" Phil yelled, jerking Dan out of his thoughts.

"Thanks." Dan forced a smile as he watched Phil lay the duvet over the sofa.

"Are you sure you want to sleep down here-"

"I'm sure! Now go! I need to change and get my beauty sleep."

"'Night." Both were feeling undeniably awkward.

-

Dan awoke. The room around him was drowned in black and that made him begin to shake. The furniture in the room were weirdly shaped silhouettes. You'd be surprised how human-like furniture could be in the dark. Dan's whole figure was frantically shaking and he was too petrified to even open his eyes.

Dan needed someone.

He regretted staying downstairs alone. Although he was less likely to admit his love for Phil downstairs, he would be safer upstairs.
