Chapter Twenty-Nine

Three day's later, at exactly 3 am, my alarm goes off. It feels like I just fell asleep, which tbh, is the case.
Time to get ready and head to the airport.
As usual I left it to the last minute.
I have to be out in 10 minutes.

But because I won't bother with hair and makeup, I get to the airport in time, 50 minutes later.
"Thank you, bye", I say to my driver, get my luggage and go inside just to see Dan and Phil waiting for me.
"Y/N!", Phil shouts and gives me a hug.
"Hey Philly, how are you?", I respond.
"Tired, how about you? You look great considering the circumstances by the way!"
"Me too, me too and thank you, so do you!"

I feel two arms wrap around me from behind and a head resting on mine.
"I'm so tired", I hear Dans groggy voice say.
"Well it's your bedtime mate.", I turn around and hug him.
"I'm so sleeping on that plane, don't care about jetlag.", he says and grabs my suitcase, "let's go, love."

Even though we get past security and all quite fast, it feels like a lifetime to me because I have a huge fear of flighing.
And even though I fly pretty often to visit my family, I can't help but think of the worst case scenario.

"It'll be fine", I hear Dan say next to me and put his hand on my leg, making me feel saver.
"I know, but I'm still scared.", I tell him.

Our flight boards at 6:09 am.
Sadly all of us are separated on the flight. I am in the middle of the plane and get to share a two-seater with a lovely old man.
Dan and Phil are somewhere at the front.

Just when the plane is about to start driving, Dan comes over.
"Hello Sir, I'm sorry to bother but may you and I switch places so I can sit next to my friend. She's quite scared."
"Oh, absolutely, what a lovely young man", the elder turns to me, "he's a keeper", he says, winks, gets up and leaves.

Dan and I laugh and he sits down and looks at me.
"Did you hear that?"
"Yes, you're deffo a keeper", I laugh, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
He pulls out the blanket, puts it over us and says good night. Next thing I know he is fast asleep besides me.

***

It's halfway through the flight and the majority of the time I watched movies, read or slept. Dan is still sleeping next to me and him leaning on me starts to hurt my shoulder, so I decide to wake him up.
I lightly move over and run my hand through his curly hair: "Dan. Wake up."
A big groan escapes his lips before he openes his eyes. His morning face instantly goes to smiley Dan.
"You look gorgeous", he says.
"Thank you, you look even better.", I laugh as I point out the drool on my shirt.
He giggles and nudges my shoulder.
"Want to watch Sword Art?"
"YES."

After we finish watching, he goes to edit his new video which I really enjoy watching. The video is another one of the support group ones.
What his viewers don't know is that I sat on his bed, watching him film the whole time.
There are so many clips of us both laughing or me being on screen, accidentally, that he has to cut out.

"Can I leave this in, love?", he asks me and I look up from the book I am reading at this point.
He plays a clip of him dropping the shot on his keyboard and screaming 'BABE GET THE WIPES!' and me screaming 'SHIT. DAN I TOLD YOU THAT WOULD HAPPEN', while I search for the wipes.
"I don't mind, but you called me babe?", I say after I stopped giggling.
"I know but they know we're not together yet."
"Yet?"
"Yet."
