The Choice: A YouTuber x Reader Fanfiction

Chapter 15: 3am

I woke up pretty early, already hungry. Wrapping a warm blanket around my shoulders, I walked down the hallway and into the small kitchen. Glancing at the clock, I realized it was only about three in the morning. I'd barely slept. I brushed it off, opening the fridge. I shivered from the cold and wrapped the blanket tighter around me.

"You want another blanket?" A person asked quietly from behind me. I turned to see Dan sitting on the living room couch on his laptop, next to a pile of discarded blankets. How long had he been up? Did he even sleep? I nodded.

"I might just take them all once I get some food," I laughed. I grabbed some cold (bacon/pancakes/both) and threw them on a paper plate, not bothering to warm them up- I was too hungry. I sat down by Dan and took two more blankets, curling into a ball and eating my food. I probably looked ridiculous.

"This is just a guess, but are you still cold?" Dan asked. I nodded pathetically. He moved closer to me and wrapped me in a warm hug, still watching the screen of his computer. Now that I could see the screen as well, I realized he was editing together a video for his channel, about yesterday. I was going to be in a danisnotonfire video! I smiled and hugged him back.

"Thanks. I feel like an ice cube," I laughed. He hugged me tighter.

"I know how you feel," he said. "I've been up all night trying to get this video right, and it just keeps getting colder."

"I hope it'll be warmer in America!" I joked. Then I sighed. I didn't want to have to head home today.

"You aren't staying longer?" Dan wondered. I shook my head.

"I can't. I have nowhere to stay here."

"What if you stayed with me?" He asked. Wait, what? I looked up at him questioningly.

"What?"

"You could stay with me and Phil! I'm sure Phil wouldn't mind, he thinks you're great!" He gave me a hopeful look. "Come on, it'll be fun! It'd be like having a sleepover all the time!" I mulled it over in my mind and smiled.

"Okay... I'll think about it," I whispered back. "I suppose I could move over here..."

"We could even help you!" Dan said excitedly. "I'm sure we could get plane tickets to America for- when are you leaving again?" He asked, rambling happily. I giggled.

"Tomorrow morning. Or... Wait a minute... This morning," I laughed, remembering it was 3:00am. His eyes widened.

"What time?" He asked.

"Um... Six," I mumbled, realizing that I really didn't have much time.

"That's in, like... Three hours! We should leave now!" He said, slamming his laptop shut and jumping up off the couch. "I have to go wake up Phil!"

"Aren't you going to ask if he even wants to go?!" I asked.

"Duh, that's why I'm waking him up," Dan explained. "He's going." He ran down the hall, making quite a lot of noise in the process.

"Wait!" I whisper-shouted, standing up off the couch and letting the blankets fall down- good God it was cold!- and chased him down the hall before he woke anyone up. I reached him right as he opened the door to the boys' room. "Dan!" I hissed, "Do not wake him up!" He gave me a confused look.

"Why not?"

"Because you're going to wake everyone else up, too!"

"So?"

"Dan, it is three in the morning. Do not wake anyone up!"

"But Y/N..."

"No. You can't!" I sighed.
