Perfectly Imperfect - Danisnotonfire X Reader

I Know.

It was finally nighttime and the boys had been on their laptops in the living room when I told them I was going to bed. I changed into a (fave color) sweatshirt and black shorts and climbed into bed, staring at the ceiling and thinking for a long time. Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted by the low creak of my door. I bolted upright to see Dan standing in my doorway.

"Can I talk to you?" He asked apologetically. I patted the bed next to me and he sat down.

"What's up?"

"I wanted to apologize for this morning," he said, "I've been keeping a secret from you and I shouldn't."

"What kind of secret?" I asked, fully aware of exactly the type of secret that it was.

"First, can you promise something?"

"Sure,"

"No matter what happens, you won't hate me or... Or see me differently, right?" Aww, the poor baby was nervous.

"Of course not, how lowly do you think of me?" I joked.

"Haha okay... Well, I'm sorta kinda... Famous?" He shrugged and looked away. I contemplated how I should play this.

"Seriously?"

"Like... I make videos on the internet and people laugh at me," he replied. "That was a terrible explanation... Um... Well, I'm a YouTuber..." he whispered.

"I know," I said quietly.

"Okay, well I just thought that- Wait a minute, what?!"

"I know," I giggled. "Danisnotonfire. I know," I said. Dan shook his head in disbelief.

"What? But you- and we- and I- and... What?!"

"Calm down Dannyboy, you're acting like you're on your period."

"Y/N! This whole time I was terrified to tell you this, and you knew?"

"Yup." I laughed. "But why we're you so scared to tell me?"

"I didn't... I didn't want you to only like me because of who I am. I wanted, for once, to meet someone as... Me. Just normal Dan. Not famous, not interesting, not-"

"On fire?"

"Oh, for the love of God." He facepalmed.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't resist! Continue,"

"Okay... I thought... Well, I thought that maybe I could find a girl that actually likes me."

"Dan, girls would literally kill me to be where I am right now. If I didn't like you, I would've left awhile ago, or at the very least asked why two boys kept coming to my apartment uninvited," I laughed. He laughed too, untensing.

"I suppose..."

"You know I like you, right?" I said. "Like... A lot?"

"Because I'm famous?"

"Because you're you. You're so confidently you. You put yourself out there even if it's scary and awkward and sometimes you won't get the reactions you deserve but you never lose yourself. I like you, the real Dan Howell. Danisnotonfire, AND the Dan I met when I moved in."

He stared at me in silence for awhile. "Wow..." he whispered. "Thank you..."

"You're welcome," I giggled. "Now how are you going to tell Phil? I'm a huge fan of his, too..."

"Right! Um... Let's tell him in the morning. He fell asleep." Dan explained. I nodded okay and played back down to relax, expecting Dan to leave, but instead he layed down right beside me. I turned my head to see that he was already looking at me. "Y/N?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks for not freaking out. And I'm sorry for lying," he whispered guiltily. I rolled onto my side, closer to him and smiled.

"Don't be sorry, everything is just perfect."

"How can this be perfect if I'm not perfect?" He asked.

"Because you're perfectly imperfect."

BOOM SEE WHAT I DID THERE?! NO?! OKAY....

Anyways, this was a cute little chapter!
