Beautiful

Chapter 13

Dan's POV:

Being held by Phil felt amazing, so I just laid there and reached for my phone. I was surprised when I saw 8 missed calls from mum, 5 missed calls from dad, 4 missed calls from my cousin, and 6 missed calls from my aunt and uncle. Why was my family calling me? I even had people like PJ texting me. I checked his message out of the many I had collected.

"Hey Dan, me and a lot of people saw what happened in your video with Phil. Are you guys like a thing now?

I checked a text from Chris. "Bruh are you gay or..."

A DM from Tyler Oakley: "Congrats Dan! I'm so proud of you guys!"

"What the fuck?" I asked myself. What do all of these messages mean? Oh boy. Last night began to hit me all at once. Phil deleted that footage, right?

"SHIT!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

We're dead.

Phil and I.

Welp it was fun while it lasted.

Phil's POV:

I heard Dan yell and I threw off my covers and ran towards the noise. He seemed to have gone downstairs into the gaming room, where he was watching YouTube. It looked like us on the monitor, but I didn't have any contacts on to see clearly.

"Dan, what's wrong?!"

"Phil, you spork! You uploaded the parts that were supposed to be edited out of the video! Look."

"Hey guys!"

"Hey everyone! We just finished attending Pewdiepie's birthday. Since we have nothing else to do, let's get bakin!"

"Dan thought it would be a good idea to spontaneously make cookies."

"Hey, it's October! It's spoopy season! Let's PUMPKIN roll with it."

"Dan oh my gosh that is the worst thing I've ever heard you say!"

"Nah I'm sure I've said something worse."

"Nope that surpasses everything!"

I cut in. "Besides that awful pun I don't see what's wrong with the video."

"Keep watching," he ordered.

It was mostly just a bunch of domestic baking until the cookies were placed in the oven.

"Now what, Dan?"

"I love you, Phil."

"Dan!"

"Come on Phiiillll I love you!"

"Dan no hugging on camera! Haha Dan please no! Ahh I can't handle the smooch attack! Please! HAHAHAHA DAN NOOO DAANNN!"

"My turn Philly."

"You're cheeky with those heart hands. Come 'ere."

"Oh my gosh how long do we make out?" I asked, terrified.

"Long enough." Dan replied.

"The cookies are ready, Danny!"

"I'm not."

"Bear, really, I have to pull these out!"

"Nope. You can't win! The loving bear is preventing you from the sweet treats!"

"Damn you're good at dipping. Have you been practicing or something?"

"Just kiss me you nerd."

"Crap it actually smells like burnt cookies in here now."

"Oh shit."

"It's ok! Our house isn't destroyed, but these cookies sure are, and so is my sense of smell."

"Geez Phil why didn't you take 'em out?"

"DANIEL JAMES HOWELL I-"

"I'm joking! Sorry babe. You mad?"

"I can never be mad at you."

"Well that ends this episode. Phil and I have to deal with this mess. Then we have stuff to do."

"Don't raise your eyebrows like we're perverts or something. Dan, Dan no! No licking the camera! EW!"

"Oof! Ow my back!"

"I apologize for him. Goodby-woah!"

"Gotcha now!"

"I have to turn off the camera!"

"Better do it soon or I'll get you and I'll be forced to use the secret weapon! Too late!"

"Haha Dan!"

"I love you, Phil."

"I love you too, my prince."

"I think you get the point," Dan said, pausing the video.

"I'm so sorry. I was so tired and happy yesterday that I didn't think to take it out," I tried to hold back tears, but they fell anyway. Dan trusted me to edit that, and I failed him. The whole world knew about us, and now we didn't have a choice. He probably hated me.

Dan's POV:
"Aw Phil. Don't cry, please! It's ok," I comforted him.

"No it isn't! Our families and friends are confused as hell and our followers are gonna freak out and you hate me!"

"What? Why would you say that? I don't hate you! Just cause we're out there doesn't mean I hate you. I love you so much. It's not a joke."

"You still love me?"

"Yes, of course. Never think otherwise."

"I love you, too, ok? I'll make this up to you. I'll be the best boyfriend you've ever had. I'll buy the groceries and stay away from the cereal and-"

"Ok let's not get ahead of ourselves here," I interrupted. "Even if you wanted to stay away from cereal you couldn't contain yourself."

"Yes I could!"

"All right, fine. If you can stay away from cereal for one week, especially mine, I will treat us on our first date. You can pick anywhere you want to go."

"Are you serious?" he questioned.

"I want to see what happens," I said slyly.

"You're on, Howell! Watch me. I won't eat any of your cereal and I'm going to pick somewhere awesome."

"Easier said than done."

"Tell your family and our friends about us. I'll handle my family and the media."

"Where are you going?" I asked as he picked up his wallet.

"Shopping. I'm out to get us food. Just you wait. Phil Lester will reign champion!" he exclaimed triumphantly, slamming the door.

I giggled when he was gone. "There's no hope for you, is there?" I said to myself. In a moment, I called my family and friends, opening their eyes to the truth. Wow. I was in love with the guy of my dreams...AND he was gonna stay away from my Crunchy Nut for a week. How could things get any better?
