A/N: Going to see Dan and Phil in 2 days 0_0 oh my goodness!!


"Find some music Y/N will like!" Phil moans as Dan flicks through the radio of the taxi. Suddenly, an old Muse song comes on from the radio and Dan pouts at Phil.

"Find something she will enjoy! Not you!" Phil says stubbornly.

"Actually, I kind of like Muse." You say politely to Phil, trying not to hurt his feelings. Phil blushes, adjusting his fringe slightly.

"Really? I've never met a girl who knows about muse-"

"Well now you have. Can we listen or what?" Dan pipes up, still looking at Phil, an eyebrow raised. Phil rolls his eyes and nods, as Dan starts doing  a victory dance in the front seat. You Dan and Phil start to hum along to the song until the chorus comes on. You all blare out the song lyrics, laughing at the same time. Finally, the song changes, and there is a slightly awkward silence.

"So, where are we going for dinner?" You ask Phil, unsure whether to look at his eyes or not. You definitely were not used to the whole, Friends with Dan & Phil, scenario, and you wonder if you ever will.

"Oh no! We forgot to ask if you like sushi or not!" Phil panics as your face lights up.

"Sushi? I love sushi! If I could eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner I would willingly!" You say, blushing after speaking so enthusiastically. Dan and Phil laugh at the same time, both looking at you. You blush even deeper. 

"That'll be £10, please." The driver asks, looking at Dan.

" Oh, sorry!" Phil says fumbling with his wallet. He pulls out the money and hops out of the car. You're about to open your door as well, but Dan beats you to it. 

"Yeah, we decided Phil should do the social stuff after the indecent at the restaurant." Dan says, pulling you to your feet. You blush as he takes your hand, laughing at the reference to the video he made with Louise.

"More butter slave!" You mimic, making Dan laugh. You close the door to the taxi, and the driver instantly zooms off in the opposite direction.

 "Not a very chipper guy, was he?" Phil says, looking at his phone. "Wow, this place looks better than expected." You turn around to see a Japanese styled restaurant, with arched beams and low hanging lanterns, glowing in the setting sky. Dan seems to notice you in awe as you walk through the doors.

"Well, its not as good as the real thing." He says to you, breaking you from your trance. You are seated at the sushi train bar by a young looking woman wearing a pink and green kimono.

"What do you mean, the real thing?" You ask him, looking inquisitive.

"He means Japan, and I would have too agree. But at least here you don't have to take off your shoes." Phil says, smiling at you.

"I wonder if they have any black ice cream as well? Should I ask?" Dan teases Phil.

"Oh yeah! Has Dan told you about our trip?" Phil asks, awaiting an answer. You look at Dan with wide eyes as you lie, no. Phil starts a large tangent about their trip, even though you already know all about it. Yet You still absorb every detail, listen to every story and take note of the tiny northern accent lingering in Phil's voice.

"Have you been to Japan before?" Phil asks, at the end of his stories.

"No. But I really want to go." You say, looking over at Dan that is once again staring at you with a small smile on his lips.

Fizz, hisses the Japanese lemonade as Phil pushes on the cap, releasing a tiny ball into the bottle.

"I never understood how this worked." Said Phil, looking quizzically at the bottle.

"It's probably just some weird ancient voodoo that will make face turn into a pelican." Says Dan to Phil, not a trace of smile on his face. You suddenly all start laughing at the same time, and stop when Phil burps, blushes, then  you all start laughing harder then before.

"So Phil, how was the crab sushi?" You ask, smiling as he looks down at his full plate.

"Um, let's just say I wasn't hungry." He says, smiling sheepishly.

"Well Y/N absolutely devoured the tuna and avocado, didn't you?" Said Dan, smiling at you.

"What? I was hungry!"

"Where do you want to go guys?" Asks the taxi driver, sounding much happier than the previous. You tell him where your apartment is with a large mouthful of green tea and white chocolate ice cream, making Dan laugh and Phil snort with his large mouthful of Cherry Blossom ice cream. "That's relatively close to our apartment! Did you know that?" Phil asks after swallowing his colossal mouthful.

"Really? " You ask, an eyebrow raised. Dan just looks at you and whispers,

"Maybe this friendship could work out easier then excepted." All you can do is blush at these words.

You get out of the car with Dan, The sound of snoring slightly guiding you towards your front door through the darkness of night. You can feel Dan's hand around your waist, protecting you from any lurking telegraph poles. Once you reach the door, you turn to face Dan.

"This has been so much fun, honestly. I never could have expected anything like this to happen to me."

"well, we have already established that you are pretty damn lucky, haven't we?"

"I guess we have."
