Dan knew it was a bad idea to go outside. He knew exactly what would happen when he went out (he could hear the squeals and screams even now), but he did it anyways. All he wanted to do was to go to store to grab some more dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets, but of course, he couldn't enjoy the everyday luxury of going out to the store.

As soon as he stepped out of his flat, a hush fell over the street and he sucked his breath in, waiting to see what would happen. Then, not even two minutes later, he was being pushed, screamed at, and had sobbing girls crying into his shoulder.

And all he had wanted was some damned dinosaur nuggets.

"You looked so good in your latest movie, Dan!!!"

"Please take a photo with me!"

"I want to have your babies!!"

Dan mentally grimaced at the last one, but kept the smile glued on his face no matter, his famous trademark smirk that made all of the girls (and boys) swoon and various ovaries explode. He took a few pictures with people, his tummy begging him to go get the dino nuggets that are waiting for him at the store.

Dan knew should have just ordered them to his house like he normally did, but he just wanted to be a regular person for once. Apparently, that wasn't possible.

"Alright guys!" He called over the crowd of people. It didn't really do much in terms of calming them down so he began to edge away as unnoticeably as possible. "I'm sorry, but I have to get going, I have some places to be."

They, of course, didn't listen, they never did, so it wasn't really a surprise when Dan began sprinting, trying to get away as camera flashes and footsteps followed closely behind him.

Don't get him wrong, Dan absolutely loved this life, loved being able to star in various films, and loved acknowledged for his acting talent. But the paparazzi and the lack of privacy got to him sometimes. Like now, when all he really wanted was to get his nuggets and eat them like there was no tomorrow. It was worth it though, especially when he was able to act and put on a show for his audience. He loved his fans dearly and would do anything for them considering they were people who encouraged him to follow his dreams and the reason he has such a good life now.

He turned a corner. His breath was coming out in huge pants due to lack of exercise, his chest constricting painfully. It reminded him just how badly he needed to go to the gym, and how his membership is maybe eleven months expired, but he tried not to focus on that now, ducking into a nearby shop to hide from the group of people chasing him.

The shop was warm, but he didn't pay any mind to which kind of store it was, instead, he clambered behind a shelf where he would be able to watch out the window, making sure nobody had noticed him come in here. His hurried pace made something knock off the shelf, but he duly noted the shattering noise, opting to sigh in relief at his successful escape. He could pay for it later, anyways.

There wasn't much time to relax, however, when a scream interrupted his peace sounding rather hysterical and pissed off. "SUSAN!"

Dan jumped, whirring around to stare in bewilderment at the man who had let out such a noise. The man (who looked on the verge of tears with a flushed face) had wide blue eyes and a black fringe that was pushed back by a trembling hand. He had on a light green button up with a few spots of dirt on it and light blue skinny jeans that were rolled up at the bottom to show laced black boots.
