Prompt: Dan is a street musician. He plays because it not only makes money for rent, but it's a passion. Phil Lester is a rich kid who makes sure to pay the boy everyday he's playing, because he loves his voice so much.

Dan sat down on the curb, adjusting his guitar and ukulele. He tuned both, and strummed a few random chords, and immediately people gathered because they knew what was coming. Sometimes, people came to the place just to here Dan sing. Softly, Dan began to strung HEAVEN by Troye Sivan, but an acoustic version. He sang along passionately, people pouring in money.

Phil ran through the crowd, pushing through the people and muffling an occasional "Excuse me!" "Pardon me!" And "Move please, man on a mission!" He didn't really want to miss his favorite street singer. When he arrived, he smiled wide. He automatically put two hundred pounds into Dan's guitar case, making Dan smile as he sang. "Any requests?" Dan says, as he finishes.

"How about Starboy by The Weeknd?" Phil suggests. Of course, Phil has suggested that before. A lot, actually. Dan smiles. "Of course." So he plays the acoustic version. Because that's what Dan does.

When he's packing up, Phil is starting to walk back to his house when Dan jumps and grabs his arm. "Hey, wait!" He bites his lip. "Thank you for supporting me." Dan smiles brightly. "You're amazing, of course I support you." Phil smiled back. "Do you..Do you want to go out for coffee?" Dan said awkwardly. "I'd love too!"

While they were talking and drinking their Starbucks, Phil noticed there was an open mic. "You should do it!" He encouraged. "I don't know.." Dan burrowed his eyebrows, worried. "Cmon!" Phil pushed, and Dan smiled. "Okay." Dan grabbed his ukulele and went to the front. "Hi, so..my name is..Dan." He smiled awkwardly. "I'm gonna sing The Judge by Twenty Øne Piløts.." He bit his lip and began to strum softly and sing.

Afterwards, everyone clapped and cheered loudly, including Phil. "I told you you'd do amazing." Phil gushed. "Thanks, Phil." Dan said.

They exchanged numbers, and set up a time for when they'd meet again.

Of course it was Phil who set it up. Unbeknownst to Dan, his father was a widely known record label producer, Nate Lester. Phil was planning on showing Dan to his dad. "Okay, so, have a seat. I'll be right back." Phil showed Dan to the couch and Dan sat quietly. He looked around; this house was so nice. When Phil came back, his dad was behind him, and Dan flushed. "Dad, Dan. Dan, Dad." Phil smiled. "Nate Lester. Phil here has told me all about you." Nate beamed. Dan was speechless; he opened his mouth to speak and then closed it again. "Dan, would you mind playing for me?" Nate asked, and Dan nodded slowly. He took out his guitar, tuning it and then his music. He looked up and gulped, suddenly nervous. He smiles at Phil, who winks at him. He sings Colors by Halsey.

By the time he's finished, Phil's dad is astonished. "That was amazing." He smiled. Dan looked to Phil, who smiled at Dan as well. "I'd love to make you a deal." Dan nearly fainted. "A..A deal? Like a music deal?" He stuttered. "Yes sir." Nate nodded. Phil nodded as well. "Yes, yes, oh my god, yes! It'd be an honor!" Dan gushes, blushing. "Great! Let me go get some papers and I'll be right back." Nate went to go get papers, leaving the two by themselves. "I told him you were amazing. I gush about you a lot." Phil blushed. "You're amazing!" Dan bursted, tackling Phil. Phil smiled. Of course, like any cliche moment, time seemed to freeze as the two looked at each other. They slowly leaned in, and their lips met.

That was the first in a long history of how Dan came to be famous.
