The comments were insane, 'omg Danella!' Dan quickly shut them down. You were still curious as to what 'tonight' was.

Joe: So Daniel, you got lucky with Y/N yet? 😉
Dan: Don't be stupid Joe, we're not even dating yet.
Joe: Omg! Really? You're basically married tho right? The way you to are, you put zalfie to shame!
Dan: XD, but seriously I don't know how she feels. I mean I know we kiss and hug and do soppy shit but she's a hardcore fan. Idk if she's just basking in the glory of kissing the dan-mister! Jk but really, I'm not sure if she loves me or Danisnotonfire.
Joe: You need to talk to her, the way it looks to me. She's in love with you Dan. I'm no prophet or wise man, but the way she looks at you it's like she would take a bullet for you.
Dan: Maybe you're right, I can't find it in me to ask her. She might be offended or think that I see her as just another fan. I love her joe.
Joe: Stop I'll cry! Talk to her!

You're 20 today! Wooo! 🎂🎇🎁
Dan, Phil, Zoe, joe, Caspar, Alfie, Marcus, Hannah, Grace, Emma and many others have sent texts, tweeted or called you. Then you receive a text. Your heart stops.
Jim Pearson: Happy birthday angel! Wherever you are! Xxx
Dan's called you a million times, he's texted you. There's a knock at the door. Dan.
You slowly walk to the door.
Dan's smiling widly. He sees your face and his smile melts into a concerned frown.
"Y/N you've been crying." He says a placing a hand on your shoulder.
You look to your phone. He dashes to it. He reads the text. You see anger bubbling up inside him. He breathes in and places the phone down slowly.
"Is that... Him..." He said trying to remain calm.
You nod.
"Right." He types something down into his phone. Jim's number. He furiously composes a long message and presses send. He exhales loudly.
He walks over to you and wiped your tears. He sat down with a sigh. You were looking at the wall. He slowly pulled you onto his lap. You giggled as his fingers ran up and down your back.
"I'm gonna give you the best birthday ever!" He said enthusiastically.
You turned to face him. He kissed your nose. You moved his fringe to see his eyes. "beautiful" you mutter.
He chuckled and pulled you in for a hug. He rested his head on your shoulder and you did the same. In the doorway you saw Phil smiling.
"I ship it." He mouthed. You smiled.
Before Dan pulled away Phil ran off so he didn't ruin the moment I suppose.
Dan looked in your eyes as if reading your soul.
"Let's go!" He said lifting you off his knee.
You set off into the snow. It's the 16th December, you're 20 years old, you live in London, you're a popular youtuber, you're watching the snow and you're in love with Dan Howell!
You reach the same meadow where you and Dan had your first kiss. On the patio you see lots of dark figures. It's only 5pm but the sun is beginning to set. There's a quiet click sound and the whole place is illuminated with fairy lights. Red, white, green, blue, gold, pink and purple. All of your friends are huddled around the fire.
In unison they all stand up and start singing happy birthday, the atmosphere is beautiful. You're clutching Dan's arm, smiling from ear to ear. Even though you've been here for just under a week, you feel like at home. You have made friends, hit milestones, moved house, met your idols, grown up and fallen in love.
You all huddled up into a group hug, you were in the centre of the cluster. Dan had your hand as if he was afraid of you drowning in a stormy sea. It still comforted you though. Phil was beaming at you, as was Zoe (now one of your best friends) the two of you had really connected over the past few days. You'd texted long into the night and have both witnessed the other have a panic attack. You felt like sisters.
Over the course of the evening you'd received incredibly thoughtful gifts that were so personal, it showed you how much everyone knew you. Ervine huddled around the fire. Dan took your arm and lead you to the oak tree.
He looked down at his hands and lifted a box from his pocket. He handed it to you.
"oh my gosh Dan! It's beautiful!" You said. His face lit up.
Inside was a silver necklace with a crystal heart pendant. He lifted your hair and put the necklace on you. You held hands. You looked up at Dan.
"Dan, I don't just 'like' like you, I think I... Love you... I love you Dan." You whispered.
You saw him tear up.
"Y/N, I know I'm an idiot. That's just me. I've never been good at... Feelings... They scare me. To be capable of having such a strong tie on someone is incredible. I just assumed that it would never happen to me. Then you hit me like a train," you both laugh a little, "I feel like a fool for not realising sooner, falling for someone takes seconds. And Y/N, I think I'm falling for you. Y/N... I love you." He wipes the stray tear from your cheek.
"Kiss me Dan." You whisper.
He takes your hands by his sides. He leans in and kisses you. Not like a romantic interest, but like a soul mate...
