Youtube Imagines

HD Memories

I know this is Phan and not a reader x youtuber but it hasn't gotten enough attention and it's so beautifully written. It's a little lengthy at 1598 words, but trust me it's worth it. It's a definite tear jerker, written by one of my closest friends. Listen to Photograph by Ed Sheeran while reading it.

I smile and, as I look into his eyes, the pain in my heart diminishes a little when I see them again.

He's smiling as we stand in front of a coffee shop somewhere in downtown.

I can remember it still...

"Dan!" I laugh as he places his croissant right above his mouth like a mustache and mimes strutting around like Kanye.

He smirks and raises an eyebrow. "Who's Dan? The name's Yeeezus!"

I don't say anything. Instead, I slip my phone out of my pocket and snap a picture while he's striking the most ridiculous pose with the croissant mustache still in place.

"Phil!" He yells indignantly, narrowing his brown eyes at me. I laugh again as he tries futilely to grab my phone.

"You can't do those ridiculous poses without expecting me to take a picture!" I chastise, trying to keep the phone out of the taller man's reach. He flails for it, a big smile on his face.

Passersby stare at us curiously, but I couldn't care less.

Finally, Dan gives up and pouts in a really adorable way, taking a bite of his croissant.

"Fine. Be that way."

An even bigger smile blooms on my face as I step close to him, wrapping my arms around his waist and burying my face in his chest. He's warm; a welcome difference to the freezing winter air.

A chuckle rumbles from the strong figure I cling to, and then I feel him take the phone out of my hands. I start to protest, but then he flips the camera and, grinning like a lunatic, captures the moment in perfect HD quality.

Time freezes for me as I lean back into the couch and sigh, glancing over at my mug of untouched tea.

I flip the page of the book in my lap, another picture staring me in the face. Another snapshot of my life with Dan, this one from another time.

The day we moved in with each other.

"I swear to god, Dan, that better not be what I think it is."

Innocent brown eyes peer at me from over the top of a box. "What?"

"That!" I exclaim, outstretched finger pointing at the abomination on the countertop.

His eyes shift over to it. "What, that? That's..."

I glare at him, and he sets the box down.

A huge smile lights up his face. "That's breakfast!"

"..."

I trace his face in the photo. So happy... So carefree.

A manic gleam in his eyes that said he didn't care what the world threw at him- he would come out on top with a smile on his face.

"Where did you even get that."

Dan's face scrunches up in faux thoughtfulness.

"Um... Ebay?"

I glare at him, and he laughs.

"Chill out, Philly." He says, picking up the box of cheese cereal and opening it.

Instead of the dreaded cheesy abomination, regular Rice Krispies pour out.

He looks up at me and smiles. "See? It was just a prank! Camera's over there."
