Skin Deep (a Danisnotonfire fan fiction)

It's hard to hide.

Chapter 5

I was just about to leave my room for dinner with Dan when I realized I should probably wear a bracelet so that he couldn't see the name on my wrist. I grabbed one and left.

*20 minutes later*

I was about 3 minutes early, making the time 5:27. I sat down on a nearby bench and took my phone out of my pocket. I was scrolling through my Twitter feed when someone sat down beside me. I looked up and it was Dan.

"Oh hey, I didn't realize that it was you." he said with an ever-so-subtle smirk. "You weren't waiting long were you?"

"Only a couple of minutes" I told him.

"Oh good" he sound relieved. "Where would you like to go for dinner?"

"Mmmm, how about you show me the best place for pizza in this area?" I said to him.

"Good plan" he said as he grabbed my wrist and led me out of the mall.

We hailed a taxi and headed toward the mystery pizza parlour. As we were driving, I felt it appropriate to say: " By the way, you look much better when you're not covered in coffee." And with that he chuckled.

"You're quite funny, I like that!" he told me, and I couldn't help but grin like an idiot and blush. I turned to face the window so Dan wouldn't notice.

"We're here!" he announced with great excitement. We got out of the cab and Dan must have sneakily paid the driver because he drove off as I was searching for the £17 to pay the fee.

We ordered a pepperoni pizza to share and started talking about what we both did for fun.

"Well, my job is quite fun as I don't actually have to leave my flat" he told me.

"Well, what exactly is you're job?" I asked.

"It's hard to explain, but basically, I make videos on the internet, and no, not porn" he laughed, almost embarrassed. I laughed with him. "What I mean is, I'm going to assume that you've heard of the website 'YouTube" I had. "Well basically, I usually make a video every week or so, and that's how I make a living. I also have a radio show on BBC Radio1 with my best friend, Phil."

"That actually sounds really cool. I don't have a job at the moment as I am trying to finish school. I'm actually here for a trip with my history class. I like it here, it's a lot warmer here than where I live." I told him, he laughed.

"Yeah, I bet" he said, and then it got quiet an was really awkward, but thankfully our pizza came. We ate mostly in silence.

"I should get back to the hotel" I stated when we finished eating.

"I'll walk you" Dan offered, and he looked at me with his big brown eyes and I couldn't say no.

We got to the hotel door and he turned to face me. He grabbed the wrist with the name on it, but I was also holding my phone. He took my phone and added his iMessage, then he handed it back. As I was going to grab it, my bracelet slid down my arm, revealing the name. He caught a glimpse of it and smiled at me.

"I'll text you tomorrow" he said and turned to walk away, I smiled and went into the hotel.

A few minutes later my phone buzzed, it was from Dan. It didn't say anything, it was only a photo, of a name on a wrist. It said Alex in the same font that mine said.

It's safe to say that I smiled for the rest of my stay in London.

A/N WeyHey I finally updated after almost a week. I'm quite proud of this chapter. What do you thinks will happen when Alex returns to Canada? THE CHAPTERS ARE GETTING LONGER AND IM HAPPY ABOUT THIS. As always, give me suggestions as to what I should write about, and I'll dedicate the chapter to you. Stay Amazing my little Danosaurs and Philions! <3
