Dan's POV

On the plane we were sat next to a man in his upper thirties, he was Japanese, he seemed very lonely. He looked out of the widow for nearly a quarter of the flight, but he broke the awkward silence between us. I grabbed Phil's hand and the guy looked over.

"So I see you two are a couple." He told us pointing at our hands.

"Oh, yeah. Husband's actually. We got married on Saturday." I told him looking over.

I looked back at Phil who was fast asleep.

"Yeah, I was going to get married myself but the date that I was going to propose to her, she broke up with me. Nothing ever goes my way when it comes to love." He said frowning.

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that. Why would you break up with someone on a date?" I asked. "I know right. She was the love of my life and she knew that. She meant everything to me. But apparently she just wanted me for the money."

"Oh, wow. I'm so sorry."

"I don't know why you are. It's not your fault." He said.

"Can I offer you gentlemen anything to drink?" The flight attendant said as she walked by us with the cart.

"Sure, I'll take a tea please." I told her.

"I'll take one too." The guy next to me said.

The flight attendant handed us our drinks and apparently when she reached over Phil he smelt it and woke up.

"Oh hi." Phil said in an awkward yet tired tone.

"Would you like anything sir?" She asked Phil.

"Yes a coffee please." She quickly got it ready and handed it to him.

Apparently he didn't know my hand was in his because he lifted both of his hands and saw my arm following his hand.

"Dan what are you? Oh, right you're holding my hand, got it."

"Yeah Phil. We're married remember?"

"Sorry deep in sleep. Thank you ma'am." He said letting go of my hand and grabbing his coffee. The lady just walked away with a "well-that-was-awkward" face.

"Sorry. I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Sam."

"Hi Sam. I'm Phil." He said holding out his hand for Sam to shake.

"I'm Dan." I said as Sam turned to me and held his hand out. I grabbed his hand and shook it. "Nice to meet both of you. You guys are so cute together. I know guys don't usually say stuff like that, but, it's true."

"Nice to meet you too. Thanks." Phil said.

"I'm just wondering but what do you guys do for a living?" Sam asked.

"We both make YouTube videos. That's why we have this." I said pulling out my camera.

"What are your usernames? My daughter watches YouTube and I know who she watches."

"Mine is Danisnotonfire. And his is AmazingPhil." I told him.

"My daughter watches you guys non-stop. Can I take a picture with you two for my daughter to see?"

"Of course. But just wondering you said every girl you loved left you, how do you have a daughter?" I asked him.

"Well, I was married to one girl. The marriage didn't even last for a year. She gave birth to our daughter and when we left the hospital she wanted a divorce. I only agreed because I wanted her to be happy. As soon as we signed to divorce papers she left. Our daughter has never seen her mother enough to remember what she looks like. So I have been trying to get a mother figure in her life. My daughter is fourteen now and she says her life has been the best with just me. I love my daughter. She means the world to me."
