Dan and Phil Imagines and One Shots

Human - Dan Howell

I sighed, standing off-stage preparing to do a set of covers. At this karaoke bar, I performed every night, a different "show" each and every night. I had this job after I broke up with my boyfriend. I needed money and I needed it while keeping my morals. No, I wasn't about to whore myself out for anyone. 

"Five minutes, girly." One of my backup singers smiled. I nodded, doing warm ups. 

"Danger men at work... Danger men at work. Danger men at work, danger men at work, danger men." I sang softly. When I finished the warm up, my intro was playing to the club. Shortly after, I walked out. 

I covered many different songs from artists including, but not limited to: Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, Sam Smith, Beyonce and Halsey. But right in the middle of Castle, Dan, my ex-boyfriend, walked in. He sat down in the middle, where I could obviously see him. I finished the song then ran backstage to throw up. I couldn't physically look at him with out throwing up, that's how bad it hurt to see him. Kelsey, my friend, ran back to me. "Are you ok, Y/N? Do you need to end the show? D-Do you want me to tell him to go?"

I finished letting go of lunch and shook my head. "No. Tell the band that we're doing Human. Not the Christina Perri one. The Cheetah Girls one." She nodded, going to deliver the news. I put something back on my stomach and drank a lot of water to wash the vomit taste out of my mouth.

Making my way back to the stage, everyone cheered. Everyone except Dan. He just sat there judging me like he'd done every day in our relationship. "Hi guys! So to wrap up the show, we're going to be singing a little song from a lot of our female childhoods. Go ahead and sing along if you know the song." I smiled, giving a count off to the band.

 "There comes a time
When you have to look back
At your life, all the things you know that
You have done, all the things that you've become

It's hard to say, all the reasons that you walk away
Did you think that I was just too strong?
Let me tell you you were wrong"

Dan sat up, leaning forward onto the table he was sitting at. He knew what this song was. I played it a lot leading up to our break up. He knew what this song meant.

"'Cause even though I made it on my own

Sometimes the world feels cold standing alone
I'm reaching for a hand that I can hold
'Cause in the end I'm only human

My heart's not made of steel
I'm looking for someone to break my shield
'Cause even superheroes have to feel
And in the end I'm only human "

I made eye contact with Dan as if to say, "This is what I feel now. I used to be madly in love with you. But you made me hate you along with myself."

"I may stand my ground

But doesn't mean my mind's not spinning 'round
Don't be deceived by who you think I am
There's so much more you just don't understand

Have you seen me cry?
Have you ever really looked into my eyes?
You would see the walls around me ain't that high
Did you ever really try?  " 

I ran through the chorus and ended the song and the show. It was closing time now, 1 AM. I turned to walk off stage as the crowd left when Dan walked toward me. "I know you heart isn't made of steel." I stared at him with no emotion. "I'm sorry."

"Wow, 4 fucking months?" I scoffed, turning away. "You know what Dan? I expected to mean way fucking more to you. I expected you to apologize sooner. But I guess better late than never." I rolled my eyes. "Go away, I have to clean up."

Dan just stood there. "How do you get home at night?"

"I walk." I mumbled.

"Oh." Dan said. "Do you live back where you used to?"

I picked up some cords. "Wouldn't you like to know?"

"That's why I asked." 

I turned on my heel. "Well, I'm not telling you and if you follow me, I'm calling the cops on your ass." I began walking down the stairs leading up to the short platform. "I cried to you and you told me I was annoying. So no, I don't think I'm sharing my life with you much anym-" Dan pulled me close into a kiss. I pushed him off.

"Come on, Y/N." Dan said. "You cannot tell me that you don't miss this. That you don't miss us."

I growled, pushing him. "I do. And I don't want to!" My boss saw the whole scene and sent us on our way. "Great, now I might get fired." Dan sighed, walking behind me. I turned. "Stop fucking following me!"

Dan grabbed my arm as I tried to walk away. "I want to be the hand you hold again. I'm so sorry, Y/N. Please. Come back to me." He pulled me into his embrace, holding me tightly in the cold night, not letting go. "Please..."

"Okay, Dan. Just stop choking me." I mumbled, tapping out of the hug. 

He smiled, a tear running down his face. "Thank you..." I took his hand and we began walking back to my place, so we could make up.
