"Woohoo!" I threw my hands in the air, suspending my shopping bags above my head, Dan and I left accessorise an hour later after being given a 50% discount and a truckload of praise for standing up to that sexist, misogynistic idiot. "That was hilarious when you started to cover him in hair clips!" Dan and I chuckled at the memory and I started laughing twice as hard "that Brendon urie joke you made was hilarious though".

We finally ended our shopping trip and began to make our way home, who knew a shopping trip could be so fun? "We have to make a video about that" Dan suggested, as we walked passed a virtually empty bus stop, that would be possibly the best idea ever "absolutely, can I tell them about the Brendon joke though" he nodded in agreement and I had a mini fist bump moment, I was so excited to make a video with him. Wait a minute, that reminds me "oh shit, I really need to make a YouTube video, I haven't made one in ages" good thing I remembered that now otherwise I might have never remembered to make one. "I can help you with editing if you want" Dan offered but I shook my head "no thank you, I need to learn how to do it myself properly".

We walked the rest of the way at a slightly faster pace as we wanted to film a video and show off Dans fancy new clothes. Due to our speedy pace we managed to get home in half the time it took us to go to the shops and we burst into the flat with the shopping bags held high in the air. "We're home!!" We both yelled out simultaneously, causing Phil, PJ, Chris, Adam and sam all came dashing down the hallway, knocking into each other when they stopped. "You two sound a lot happier!" Phil noticed, smiling as he did so. "Yeah! We got so much cool stuff!" Adams face lit up when he heard dans new found enthusiasm and when I saw his excitement so did mine.

"Let's see" Sam jogged over towards Dan and gestured for him to give to give them the bag so they could look at the clothes. Dan happily handed them the bag and when they looked through it they seemed a bit confused. "Wait, are these for you Y/N?" Dan and I glanced at each other with anxious looks so I decided to correct them for Dan "no, they're for Dan" sam pulled out a black skirt and I saw Phil, Chris and PJ looked at the skirt and then at Dan, and then at the skirt again. I waited for one of them to speak or do anything to lessen the unbearable awkwardness in the room, thankfully Adam spoke up. "I think you'll look great!" I glared at the everyone else so that they would say something, anything just as long as it's not rude. "I 100% agree, that's such a cool skirt" bless Phil for saying that, it made everything a lot better. "Thank you, I'm gonna take this stuff to my room" Dan took the three bags he carried home past Sam, Phil, Chris, PJ and Adam hurriedly, I knew he must've felt embarrassed.

Without saying another word to anyone, I picked up the rest of the bags and darted down the hall after him, I need to do damage control.

I walked up to his room and saw that he had left his door slightly ajar so I let myself in "Dan?" He was slouched over on his bed and I'm pretty sure I saw a little tear creep down the side of his face. "Dan please don't cry! It's ok" I dropped the bags at the door, crawled into his bed next to him and wrapped my arms tightly around his shoulders. "You saw how they reacted, they all hate me now" he started to properly sob and all I could do was comfort him as best I could "they don't hate you Dan, they still love you" I gathered up some of the fabric from my jumper sleeve and wiped his tears away with the fabric. "And I still love you with all my heart" I stopped wiping away his tears so that I could hug him some more.

"You're being so brave and I'm so so so so proud of you" I held his head in my hands and looked him in the eyes, even I was starting to tear up now. "I love you Dan" he sniffed his nose and did a small hiccup which made him look 10x cuter than he already was. "I love you too Y/N".
