Best of both worlds

Chapter 14

I have no idea how sitc works, I'm really sorry if I'm aggravating any of you

"Y/N!" Dan ran over to me "oh my god, what happened?" He kneeled before me and caressed my good cheek. "Your fans were a bit.." I tried to select my words carefully "protective, over the whole 'phan' thing" I told him. He kept stroking my cheek, I saw a tear fall from his eye. "Please don't cry Dan" I kissed his forehead "I'm fine, honestly" I moved his fringe out of his face with my fingers. "Im just.." He began "I'm just shocked that they would react this badly" he looked down at the floor "I'm so sorry Y/N" he wiped his eyes and sniffled. I felt so bad for him, he shouldn't be crying, he doesn't deserve it. Why were all of his fans being so protective of his 'relationship' with Phil, they should know that it is never going to happen.

"Come on Dan, we can't let the fans ruin sitc!" I tried desperately to cheer him up "even though they're the only reason we're here" I made him chuckle and I smiled at him, I just want him to be happy. "I guess so" he embraced me and I felt the warmth radiating off his body, when he finally let go I felt cold. "Let's go get something to eat". We both hopped up "I'll see you later Zoe" I quickly hugged her before Dan took me by the hand and tugged me along. We went out through one of the doors on the side of the main door and we were greeted with the smell of spices. I saw around 15 food stalls, all serving different foods from around the world. Dan took me from stall to stall trying out all the food, luckily because felix and Sean were doing their panel the food court was completely empty. Dan tapped me on the shoulder "Y/N you have to try this ice cream!" We had stopped at an Italian food stall "or should I say gelato" I laughed at his terrible Italian accent, he raised a spoon of chocolate gelato to my lips and I opened my mouth. He put the spoon in my mouth and I bit down and licked the spoon clean (sorry if that sounds a bit gross). I tasted the strong chocolate taste spread across my tongue, "mmm delicious" it was sweeter than any ice cream I've tasted "you wanna buy a pot?" Dan offered "I'll pay for it". There is no way on earth that I would turn down free desert.

After buying two large pots of chocolate gelato we sat down on the ground leaning our backs against the walls. Whilst I was eating my gelato I noticed Dan was staring at me, not in an evil 'I'm going to kill you' way, in a 'I love you" way. I could feel my cheeks starting to go red "how's your ice cream?" I asked him, he coughed and quickly looked away from me and focuses instead on his desert "it's gelato and it's very nice" I rolled my eyes "gelato, ice cream, same thing" I nudged his elbow. Even sitting down he was still noticeably taller than me. I began scraping the bottom of my tub, making sure I get any left over gelato that I missed. Dan sighed "I'm sorry for what happened earlier" not this again, I didn't want him to dwell on it to much "you didn't do anything wrong Dan" I stated, I placed my empty tub next to me "I know but I just can't help but feel like it's my fault". I wrapped my arms around him and planted a kid on his cheek before resting my head on his shoulder "well it's not, so stop feeling so guilty" he rested his head into of mine and I felt at peace with the world, everything that had happened only hours before this moment didn't matter, the only thing that mattered was Dan and it was at this point that I realised that I needed to be with him.

"We should get going if we want to dodge the fans" Dan said, I didn't want to leave, I wanted to stay frozen in this moment. "Do we have to?" I moaned like a little child "unless you want another scratch then I think we should" he kissed the top of my head and I groaned. He stood up and I could feel the sense of safety that I had disappear. He offered me his hand and he pulled me up "come on, I bet Zoe's getting worried". We put our pots in the bin and slowly wandered back into the green room, exchanging random little kisses on the way.

The green room was slightly quieter than when I was last in here, probably because Sean and felix weren't here. I could hear the screams of fans just outside the door and the muffled voice of the panel members. "Where's Phil?" I noticed that he wasn't anywhere in sight "probably doing his Q&A thing" Dan shrugged, when he said that I felt my heart sink a little "do you think the fans will ask him questions about our relationship?" Dans expression said it all, I got a bit more worried than I was before. "If they're getting the questions from Twitter then yes" just the thought of Phil being bombarded with questions about us made my heart break a little, he was to fragile for that sort of pressure. The screams from outside the doors further confirmed that someone on stage was saying some very interesting things, or maybe that's just me. To try and stop my angst I tried to take a peak through a crack in the door, on stage I saw Phil sat in the same chair I was sat in. He didn't look like he was enjoying himself at all, I heard the interviewer, a radio dj, ask Phil a question "intruiging phan asks 'what's happening with Dan and Y/N?'" Even from all the way back here I could see Phil blush "that's not my information to give away" the crowd mumbled and some of them rolled their eyes. I sighed with relief, I looked back at Dan. "Phil's a good friend"

SORRY THIS CHAPTER TOOK SO LONG!! I've been doing a lot of drawing and not really had time to write and I've been really sick. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I will upload later on in the week! Also, question of the week, if Dan or Phil got a girlfriend how would you react?
