Beyond Compare (DANISNOTONFIRE X READER)

chapter two

After Vidcon..

You sat on a couch in silence, thinking about Dan. You couldn't believe he watched your videos and actually admired you. You may have looked alright, but inside, it felt like you were eternally dying. Who wouldn't be? "Hey, (Y/N)!" Zoe shouted, throwing her arms around you. Being seated on the couch made the hug awkward but you accepted it anyways.

"Hey, Zoe." You sigh, biting your nails. "What's wrong, doll?" She asked you, resting her head on your shoulder. "Nothing," You answer. "It's just that my crush AND my idol watches my videos. It makes me want to cry, Zoe." Tears filled your eyes, but you quickly blinked them away. "Aww, (Y/N)! That's so cute! But trust me, he admires you. Anyways, I'm going to a party. Everyone is going to be there. Tyler, Troye, Connor, me, Alfie, Louise, Mark, Jack, Felix, Phil and DAAAAN!" You giggled and pounded her shoulder. "Shut up!" You shout with a laugh, your cheeks flustered. "You should come, (Y/N). It's going to be fun."

You think for a moment before sighing. "I guess. When is it? Where is it?" Zoe bit the inside of her cheek. "It's at the Kareoke bar down town. And it starts...right about...NOW!" Zoe grabbed your hand and forced you down the hallways. "Zoeee, I'm not ready!" She chuckles, "You look beautiful. You'll be fine. Trust me. Now let's go."

You soon arrive and your friends greet you. "Hey, guys!" You chuckle, hugging most of them. You turn and someone catches your eye. Dan. Oh, God. You give a slight wave and an innocent smile. Dan gave you a (inappropriate) wink. "F-...oh..fuck," he mubled, quickly walking away. You couldn't help but laugh at his adorable ways. You turn back to the group and sit down, instantly grabbing a small shot of alcohol. You were twenty three, so you were easily allowed.

A few more drinks and a bucket of laughter were passed around the group, until you decided you've had enough drinks. You soon hear a loud voice through the microphone. You look up to see Dan. "Hello, guys, so we are going to do a comedy thing or whatever. If you have a joke, then have at it. ...um..bye." Dan quickly walked off stage, and started a conversation with Phil.

A drunken Alfie strutted to the microphone and chuckled. "Hey everybodyyy," he slurred. "I've got a joke for you all. What's two plus two? ...It's fish! Ahahaha..." Alfie laughed at his own joke, but nobody else laughed. A now irritated (and definitely still drunk) Alfie grunted. "Fine. Wanna hear a joke? We were at the water park once and (Y/N) came down the slide. Her top cane right off, revealing her boobs! She didn't notice. Someone had to point it out to her! Congratulations, (Y/N)! Your story is now famous. Everyone now knows that you can't learn to tie your strap. Now is that funny?!"

Tears burned at your eyes as you looked around. People were quietly snickering, while others were glaring at Alfie. "What is your problem?!" You shouted, allowing tears to fall. You quickly ran outside and plopped on a bench, crying your eyes out. The story wasn't too embarrassing, but the way Alfie said it hurt your feelings. You two were supposed to be really good friends. After what just happened, you two definitely are not.

Stupid Alfie!

You cried for a little longer until you heard a familiar voice. "I'm sorry." The voice said. You looked up to see Dan.

Oh no.
