Dan Howell.
The guy who got attacked.
The guy who spent 5 months in hospital.
The guy who should be dead.
But Dan has a secret. Something only he and a selective of others know about. And Dan has to hide it, otherwise the others of his kind will be...
It was a couple of days later on Christmas Eve. Dan and Phil sat cuddled on the sofa and Christmas music was playing from out the radio beside Phil and on the carpet in front of them, Dan watched as his younger brother danced to the music. He moved his arms around and jumped a lot but was obviously enjoying the moment.
Phil however still felt terrible from the other day when he made Dan eat those pancakes. He had forgotten about Dan's ghoul qualities and obviously Dan had done too as later that day, Dan had been throwing them back up. Phil had apologised multiple times, so many times in fact it made Dan laugh.
"Are you going to get up and dance too Danny?" His younger brother questioned as he stopped dancing and walked to stand in front of his older brother, hands on hips.
Dan laughed and shook his head, "No thanks Adrian..."
"Please?"
"Adrian, you fully well know I can't dance for the actual life of me," Dan spoke, pulling Phil in closer to his body so Phil's head was now resting comfortably on his chest, able to listen to his heartbeat which was beginning to beat a bit quicker than it had been before.
"Go and dance Dan," Dan stared in shock at his boyfriend.
"Phil! I can't dance!"
"It's Christmas though Danny!" Adrian whined and tried to pull his brother up, "And who cares if you can't dance? Do it!!"
"Please Dan?"
Dan groaned as he began to stand up, Phil moving his head so Dan could stand up. He looked at his brother, "Dance to what? The radio is only playing adverts at the moment."
As soon as he spoke that however, the song sleigh ride played off of the radio and Phil grinned, "You were saying? Now dance!"
Dan coughed nervously before moving his body side to side, clicking his fingers to the tune playing.

"That's not dancing!" Adrian spoke. He walked towards Dan and grabbed his wrists to stop Dan from clicking. Dan stopped, "Now watch me dance and copy me!"
With wide eyes, Dan watched Adrian, he was waving his arms around and jumping around the entirety of the living room. Dan looked towards Phil who was now lying back on the sofa laughing the hardest he had ever seen Phil laugh.
"Come on Dan! Now it's your turn!" Adrain beckoned.
"I'll only do it if Phil does," Dan crossed his arms across his chest and looked at Phil with a smirk, Phil's laugher now gone and replaced by giving Dan a glare.
