Dan Howell x reader fanfiction

Part 17

I woke up to my phone ringing.

I tried to sit up but Dan's arms were still tightly wrapped around me

I chuckled silently and managed to get free.

I picked up my phone to see who was calling.

I answered the call.

"Hey mom. What's up?" I asked before realizing that my mom was crying across the line.

"Mom? What's wrong?" I asked, concerned.

Dan woke up and looked at me, trying to see through his tiredness.

"Sweetie, uh, you grandfather died." She sobbed.

My world froze.

My stomach churned

My eyes burned

My hands shook

My head spun

I looked over at dan who was looking at me, sleepiness and concern, covering his face.

"Oh um thanks for telling me mom. I gotta go." I said, choking back tears before hanging up the phone.

I let my phone slip from my grasp and I fell to the floor sobbing.

I felt dan wrap his arm around me, trying to comfort me, but it was hard because he didn't know what was going on.

I grasped his shirt and sobbed into his chest.

"Shhh. It's ok. I'm here. What's happened?" He asked, lifting my head to look him in the eye.

I held onto him tightly, grinding my teeth in anger, and squeezing my burning eyes to stop the tears.

"My... my grandpa... he... he died." I choked out.

"Oh, I'm so sorry love." Dan said brushing the strands of hair from my eyes.

He rested his hands on my cheeks, wiping away my tears with his thumb.

"Y/n, please, stop crying. I can't stand seeing you like this." He said.

I ignored him and continued to cry.

Dan lifted me up and laid me down on the bed, crawling over me and straddling me, one leg on either side of my body.

Dan leaned down and placed gentle and loving kisses all over my face.

He spoke between kisses.

(Each "-" is a kiss)

"Please- stop crying- I'll do anything- to make you- feel better- please- tell me what - I can do" he said kissing my face repeatedly.

I giggled though the tears as the light kisses tickled my cheeks.

I sniffed slightly and looked up at dan.

"I think I might just have a bath and clear my head a bit." I smiled at him.

"Wait not yet. Let me run to the shop. I want you to relax today. I'll be back in 15 minutes." Dan said planting a kiss on my forehead and rushed out the door.

Before I could say anything he was gone.

I leaned back against the head board and sighed.

I climbed out of the bed and walked over to my bookshelf.

I pulled out a photo album and sat back down on the bed.

I flipped through all the old photos of me and my grandfather.
