Rings [Dan Howell x Vic Fuentes fanfiction]

Before I Leave

"Vic, before I go..." Dan started to say to the lead singer of Pierce The Veil he had just met a few, short days ago. It was heartbreaking for Dan to leave Vic. He had started to really, really like him, and Vic shared the same feelings about them, too. They wanted to be together. Sadly, the rest of the United States and the Atlantic Ocean would separate the two guys once Dan left for London with his best friend, Phil. They were saying their goodbyes to one another, and Phil was waiting patiently in Vic's car who would be taking the two boys to the airport.

"Yes, Dan?" Vic asked waiting anxiously for what Dan was going to say to him. Many thoughts were going to his head about what Dan could've done in that moment. What if he's going to kiss me?! Vic thought. But...what if he was going to tell me that we wouldn't be able to really see each other or talk to each other anything anymore because of how far away we are from each other? Just hurry up, Daniel! You're making me nervous!

"I wanted to give you this," Dan told Vic as he took out a silver ring identical to the one on his finger from one of his pockets and slid it on Vic's finger.

"Ooo, it's so pretty!" Vic exclaimed happily. "What is this for?"

"It's a promise ring, Vic," Dan explained smiling at the adorable Mexican man who was beaming with joy back at him. "I have one, too. Identical to yours. And when we see each other again, I promise you that we'll pick up exactly where we left off in person. You have my number, right?"

"Yeah, you gave it to me the first day we met. I still have it, I promise," Vic replied smiling and blushing. He examined the ring Dan gave him, and Dan watched happily at Vic looking at it. It was rather plain, but it had Dan's full name carved into the silver. It was beautiful to Vic, extremely perfect and amazing in every way. He would always remember Dan, and he would never forget him. "Wait if your full name is on mine, then does that mean my full name is on the ring that you have?"

"Yep, exactly," Dan said grinning and showed the ring to Vic which had his full name engraved in the silver. "This is the prettiest ring ever to me."

Just then, the car horn honked from outside of the house. Apparently Phil wasn't very patient anymore. Dan looked at Vic who smirked and said, "We should probably get going, or your boyfriend Philly might get jealous of me."

Dan chuckled. "Yes, I know right?" He then pulled Vic into a warm, huge hug. "I'm going to miss you so much, Victor."

"I know, I'll miss you too, Dan," Vic said wrapping his arms around Dan's waist. Dan stroked his hair and kissed the top of Vic's head. The car horn was heard again by the two guys, and that was definitely their cue to get going. "We'll see each other again, right?"

"Obviously Vic," Dan replied and pulled away from him. "Let's get going." Vic took Dan's hand and led him outside to his car. Phil was out there waiting for them already because he did not want to wait forever in there while they were hugging and kissing on each other. He rolled his eyes and tried to hide a small grin when they got out to the car and said, "It's about time you two. I've been out here for ten minutes or more. Dan, you better not have made us late for our flight... not that you would mind, though." He smirked at his best friend.

Dan turned a bright red as he plopped into the passenger seat of Vic's car. "Shut up, Phil! You don't know that." Phil just chuckled in reply as Vic got into the driver's seat and started up the car. He then drove off to the airport where he would see Dan for the last time in about a year.

"You'll call me and FaceTime and text me and stuff like that every day right?" Vic asked when they got to the airport.

Dan smiled at the adorable, short man and said, "Of course I will, every day. I promise." The three men in the car then got out and took out the luggage from Vic's trunk. Phil walked away after saying a goodbye and thanks to Vic, but Dan stayed for a second as if there were something else he'd like to do or say to Vic.

"Yes, Dan?" Vic asked with a confused look on his face.

"Vic... I-I um..."

"Ye-" All of a sudden, Vic was interrupted by a pair of lips smashing into his own. He hesitated for a second wondering what the hell just happened and finally realised that Dan was actually kissing him. Before he could even kiss back, though, Dan pulled away distracted by tons of screaming 12 to 25 year old fangirls running towards both him and Vic.

"I-I probably have to go now!" Dan exclaimed in a panicky tone.

"So do I!" Vic exclaimed back surprised and very terrified for his life. There were obviously a mix of PTV and Dan and Phil fangirls running towards the two men at full speed. "We'll finish that later, right?!"

"Definitely!" Dan shouted as he took off running with his things after Phil. The fangirls then split up, one group still hustling towards Vic's direction like he was some sort of prey. Quickly, Vic closed the trunk to his car, got in the driver's seat, and started driving away from the craziness that was going down. Thankfully both of the boys made it away from the airport alive, and Dan made it safely back to England.
