Now in most Youtuber x readers, the reader normally bumps into the Youtuber on the streets, moves in right across from them, or is also a Youtuber and conveniently meets them.
Not in this book.
You're 24 and have no idea what to do with your life...
You were in the kitchen with Phil. Dan was asleep and Shelby was at work, so it was just you two. You both had actually became really good friends, which was nice or else Dan probably wouldn't be as friendly with you if you were enemies with his BFFL.
"So how long have you and Shelby known each other?" You asked him as you prepared (Fav/Drink).
"Almost a year and a half now." Phil said. He poured the last bit of Shreddies into the bowl as he asked, "I've noticed that you and Dan have been hanging out quite a bit, yeah?"

"Oh, um, yeah I guess." You answered, looking away.
"Well Dan and I were planning on looking around town today, you're welcome to come with."
"Well if it's fine with you, that sounds great."

By the end of the day, you had all gotten out for ice cream, walked by the lake, went to the arcade, and now were sat at a small pizza restaurant in town. You were all about to begin eating when Phil suddenly got a text. He read it and put his phone away.
"Sorry, I have to get back to the house."
"We can come with." Dan said.
"No, the food just got here. Just save a few pieces for me, okay?" Phil gathered his things. Dan was about to protest but Phil kept insisting that we'd stay and eat. When Phil mouthed, 'You're welcome.'
Sneaky little shit.
You and Dan stayed, talked quite a bit. You talked about the same things as usual, but something about the atmosphere was different.
It felt like a date.
"Are you alright?" Dan asked.
You realized that you had zoned out, then said, "I just zoned out for a second. I'm fine."
He smiled, "Ok."

He continued telling you about his pet hamster from when he was younger. You had already heard the story through one of his videos, but it was better this way. There were no jump cuts or fancy editing to make whatever he said into a perfectly delivered sentence, it was just Dan. You smiled at the thought of this as he rambled on about how the hamster had escaped and how it slightly traumatized him as a child.
You felt like it was supposed to be awkward, being on an unintentional set up date with him, but it wasn't. It felt comfortable to be around him, it was nice to finally just sit down, and talk.
You spent the rest of the evening in this mood, and once you got back, you found Shelby and Phil watching a movie. You and Dan both joined in, and by 11 you fell asleep next to him with your head on his shoulder, and you could've sworn, his arm around you.
