Dan and Phil One Shots (2)

Sad.

I'm meant to be getting ready for school but who cares?? I haven't updated in... a while.

Oh, can I just say, to all the Americans out there, good luck with the election and all that. *hugs you all*

This was partially inspired by my favourite person in the world because she always makes me happy when I'm sad <3

TW: Insecurities.

When Dan was sad, he wasn't just sad.. he was sad. If that makes sense.

He wasn't one to just pretend he was fine and carry on like normal; instead he shut himself away in his room for hours on end until someone forced him out. He would often just lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling as his thoughts ran a never-ending marathon in his head.

So, when Dan noticed that his YouTube page was beginning to fill with more and more hate, he shut down. The comments had triggered a deep insecurity inside him. It was the insecurity he had been hidden away since he had met Phil.

When Dan read the hate, he felt like the words were knives, cutting at his skin. He cried for hours on end, wishing the people would stop.

Phil couldn't help but notice that Dan hadn't left his room for more than ten minutes in a week. He was beginning to worry as he knew the man's way of coping with sadness. He walked up to Dan's bedroom door and raised his fist. He hit it against the door four times and awaited his best friend's small voice.

"Come in." Dan said, furiously rubbing at his already-red eyes.

"Dan.." Phil mumbled once he saw Dan's state. He was just blankly staring at the ceiling, his eyes bright red from all the crying.

"Do you like me?" Dan murmured, his voice quiet.

"Of course I like you, you're my best friend!"

"You don't just like me out of pity?"

"No? Dan, what are you on about?"

"People keep telling me that you don't like me and that I'm an attention seeker and-" Dan's breath hitched and he struggled to carry on.

"Shut up. Shut up, shut up, shut up..." Phil sat down on the edge of Dan's bed, facing the sad man. "None of that is true. I love you and you're not an attention seeker... You're attractive, smart, adorable, kind..." Dan was starting to softly cry so Phil pulled him into a tight hug. "I'm not lying. Whoever told you that you're a bad person is just searching for attention, okay? You're my best friend because I want you to be my best friend and I love you."

Dan softly smiled, burying his head into Phil's chest.

I have mixed feelings for this one shot XD

What colour are your eyes? (haha my mum came up with this question)

A grey/blue colour. I really like my eyes; they're like the only things I like about myself XD
