Vita et Mors - Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil Fanfiction

Chapter 2

"Umm.... sorry about that, please do forgive me," I said, trying to act as though I didn't know him. Truthfully, my heart was pounding and my breath was becoming uneven.

"Oh, it's quite alright, I don't mind. I'm Dan by the way," he said, holding out his hand.

"Gemma," I said, gently taking his hand in mine. What was Sophie going to say?

"May I be so rude as to ask where you were headed? I was about to grab a coffee for Phil and I, my flat mate."

As if I didn't already know.

"I was off to Starbucks for my morning mochachino. Do you want to - come with me?" Breathing was now becoming a difficulty.

"Be rude of me to leave a beautiful girl in the pouring rain wouldn't it?" Dan replied with a smile. I blushed and resumed my walking.

As the rain slowed down, we entered Starbucks. A mochachino was automatically placed on the counter for me along with two coffees. I tilted my head at them. Was he a regular customer as well?

Dan saw my confused face and laughed. "I take it you come here often as well?" he questioned.

"Yes, I do," I answered whilst heading over to my favourite seat, Dan following me. We drank our drinks with a bit of small chit-chat going on between us.

After we had finished, I looked outside to see the rain coming down heavier than ever.

"Our apartment is quite close by. You could come there if you want to."

"Yes, please. I don't want to get even wetter." Really, Gemma? Was that all you could think to say? Hang on.... I was going to with DAN HOWELL to his apartment!

We reached his apartment in record time. He showed me to the living room and I took a seat as my phone started ringing. I looked at it and saw I had 26 unread messages.

"Hello?" I asked, already knowing I was about to get screamed at, thus holding my phone several inches away from my ear.

"GEMMA!? Where are you? Are you okay? What's taking you so long? You aren't hurt, are you? Oh my gosh, this is all my fault, I'm -"

"Sophie, shut up," I said as Dan left the room for some unknown reason. "And you will not believe who I rudely bashed into on my way to Starbucks!"

"You walked into someone? No, you were running weren't you? Idiot, I hope you apologised. Who was it anyway? Do I know them?"

"Well let's think..." I switched to French as Dan re-entered the room, not wanting him to know I was fangirling. "Connaissez-vous un homme aux cheveux hobbit brun, yeux bruns, six pieds deux pouces qui anime une radio d'une émission?" [Do you know a man with brown hobbit hair, brown eyes, six foot two who hosts a radio one show?]

I was met with silence. For a few seconds at least.

"What?" Sophie's voice sounded weak, as if she was about to faint. "No way.... GET A PICTURE, WRITE DOWN HIS ADDRESS AND GET HIS PHONE NUMBER! Now!"

"Shush!" I frantically whispered as Dan looked at me curiously. "I will do, but I have to go now. Bye!" I hung up and apologised to Dan for ignoring him.

"Dan?" a voice yelled from somewhere, along with the sound of footsteps. "Dan, where are you?"

"In here!" Dan screamed back at him. Why didn't they get up? I suppose being a procrastinator is all about laziness though.

"Oh, hey! What's your name?" I was asked as PHIL LESTER walked into the room.

"Uhhh..." I felt my face heat up, before remembering that he just asked me a question. "I'm Gemma."

"Pleased to meet you!" he chimed, bringing his laptop into the room.

"Pleased to meet you too, Phil," I said.

"How do you know my name?" he said, giving me a questioning look.

Oh, god, what am I supposed to do? Oh, yeah! "Dan mentioned you earlier. I'm presuming you are Phil, right?"

"U kht kud merey," Dan's voice came out muffled through the biscuit he was eating.

"I beg your pardon?" I said, mentally laughing at him.

"He said, 'you've got a good memory'," Phil told me.

"Thanks. I remember useless things a lot. Bit of a waste of memory, I believe."

"You reckon knowing Phil's name is useless and a waste of memory?" Dan said, teasing me. He was laughing at me, I could see it in his eyes no matter how much he tried to hide it.

"Stop laughing at me! And, no, I didn't mean it like that. Sorry."

We continued to chat for several hours, even playing Sonic at one point. However, Dan and Phil didn't expect me to come first. Especially not by a long way.

"How did you do that?!" Dan whined, getting more and more frustrated as he died repeatedly.

I merely giggled in response. I looked at my watch and sighed. It was time for me to go.

"Look, I better be going soon. My friend will be wondering where I am."

Dan nodded and rose from the sofa with me. As we walked towards his front door, I couldn't help but think what amount of good luck it took for me to see him, let alone play sonic with him (and Phil) in his apartment. It was severely screwed up.

"Bye!" I said, leaving his apartment. I heard his answering goodbye sadly as he shut the front door.

*****Later*****

Vaguely, I recognised a mass of flying red and black coming hurtling toward me before I was on the ground, Sophie screeching at me whilst lying on me.

"SOPHIE!" I yelled, trying to get her to calm down.

"But... GAH! How on EARTH did you get invited back to their apartment?! Did you get the picture?" Sophie said with little breath.

"Sophie, breathe! And, yes, I got a picture!" I showed her my phone, where I had brought up a little snapshot of me, Dan and Phil sitting on the sofa with me in the middle.

"You actually met them...." she muttered.

"I know. Do you know what this means?" I asked her, already secure with the knowledge she knew exactly what I was thinking of.

"FANGIRL PARTY!" Sophie yelled, rushing to get a video recorder to tell our subscribers. Yep, we had a channel together called TheDragonAndHerFriend. We were a bit mad one night about three years ago and created this channel because Sophie in Ancient Greek is Dragon. Don't ask me, that's what Sophie told me. Anyways, we had just over 700,000 subscribers. I have no idea how that happened, it just did.

"Helloooo? Earth to Gemma?" a sing-song voice pulled me out of my musing.

"Sorry! Let's get started," I told her, sitting on our couch.

"Gemma?"

"Yes, Sophie?"

"What's this?" Sophie turned to me with my beanie in her hand. It was turned inside-out and, pinned to a pouch on the inside of my hat, was a note.

I walked over to her and pulled it off. It said:

Gemma, just in case you want to keep in touch, I've put my phone number below. From, Dan.

Sophie and I stood in silence for a rather lengthy amount of time. I had Dan Howell's phone number.

A/N: The second chapter! I had a bit of writers block with this, I felt like most of it was just filler chapter, you know? If you think I could improve (which I know I could) leave a comment with your thoughts!
