Phil's pov:
As shaken as I am right now, I need to be dominant. I know it's not what I'm usually like, but Dan is a young boy who is hurting, and has been put through so much in the past couple years. Dans hands grip tightly to my shirt for support when I begin opening up the envelope with our names on it. There are 2 pages, the front stained with "water" droplets, the second looking good as New. I begin reading out loud to Dan.
"To Dan and Phil. You boys have helped me so much in my life. You have showed me what it might be like to be happy. I have watched you both smile for months on end, and I don't want you to see my depressed face anymore..." I pause feeling dans body shiver, he bites his lip to help prevent it. "should I continue?" I ask, not wanting Dan to get too upset by it. He tries to speak but it just makes him shiver again. He nods, motioning for me to start again. "...I want to give you both 3 gifts. One is each other. I don't know when you read this note, or if you have already told each other this. But you both have a crush on each other, you are just afraid to say it..." Dan nuzzles his head closer to my neck as tears slowly drip onto my shirt. I squeeze him before continuing. "... The other gifts are linked. One is all the money I got from working and mother. Remember when she was alive and gave us money every week. I never spent it. And at school I would sell my lunch and do extra things to get money. I've saved it all in my bank. You can find details on the back of this note. The last gift is a rented apartment in Manchester." My eyes open widely to the last sentence. Dan sits up, also intrigued. We look at each other and then back at the letter. I take dans hand for support, both of his wrapping around mine. "In my life I have saved up enough money to rent half the house, in sure you will both have enough money to keep it going. The rental agreement states that they are happy for you both to wait as long as you want until you officially rent it out. You can even take years! The apartment is all yours. The paperwork is all on the other sheet." I state blankly at the piece of paper, confused as to how a 14/15 year old can do this. "If you're wondering how I did all this, I'll just say that I know some people." Well that answered my question. "I love you both with all my heart, and I hope that I will always be lost if yours. All my love - Adrian"
I sit the bite in front of me, utterly gobsmacked but what I've just read out loud. I look over at Dan, he has two faded tear streams running down his cheeks, but a smile on his face. "I'm, so proud Phil." Dan says to break the silence. He states at my confused expression. "I share the same genes as a teenage genius. My brother had done all of that without a lot of help." The boy smiles widely, happy tears filling in his eyes. Suddenly his expression changes, he looks confused, like he has just saw a ghost. "What's wrong?" I ask worriedly. Dan glances back up at me. "That feeling I just had, I was happy at a sad time, I was crying happy tears. That is a feeling I've never felt before." I smile back at his big cheesy grin. "I told you those feelings wrong last forever" I boast, causing Dan to roll his eyes at me. "I'm proud of you Dan, we all are. Your brother, your mum and I. We are so proud of how far you've came. The rough road might not be over yet, but at least the skies are clearing" Dan looks at me with puppy dog eyes. "I love you bear", I say, using a new nickname I've came up with. Dan giggles, "I love you too lion". He pulls us into a hug, our heart beats thumping in a perfect medley. We have our nicknames, we have a relationship, we will soon have a YouTuber, and we will soon have a house. He was right. Adrian knew exactly what was going to happen, and now he is going to watch Dan and Phil's story unfold.

Dans pov:
I don't know how to function, my brother has been planning to kill himself his whole life. He has had the idea of giving me all his money his whole life. And I'm so sad, but so happy about it. All these emotions are causing me to go motionless, my body doesn't know how to react. I snuggle closer to Phil's neck in his embrace. "I love you bear" he says into my ear. Bear? Is that my nickname now? Ooh, he must of found my Teddy bear. I open my eyes and look into the open doorway which leads to our bedroom. My eyes lock on our tiny stuffed toys sitting next each other on his desk. I give a quiet laugh, "I love you too lion" I reply. I pull back to look at my boyfriend, his pale complexion matched with his glossy black hair create a stunning creature. His eyes sparkle from the sunset outside, which snaps me out of my trance. "sunset?!" I ask shocked. "Hm?" Phil mumbles, confused by what I mean. "It's nighttime?! I fainted at 11 o'clock, how long was I out for?" Phil laughs at me. "Awwe, you were out for 8 hours sweetie". He picks his hand up to cup my face. "And I didn't leave your side for the whole time" he tells me. I smile, tilting my head to kiss Phil gently on the lips. "Do you think we will ever stop being this soppy?" Phil jokingly asks. I give a nasely giggle. "Nevaaah!" I shout sarcastically. We laugh, "So, you wanting another takeaway?" I eventually manage to ask. Phil looks me up and down. "You're a literal stick figure Dan Howell, of course were having another takeaway" the boy says, making me blush. "Well I mean I was starved." "Don't do this to yourself Dan, think happy thoughts." My voices argue with there self in my head. "Do you want an Indian tonight?" Phil asks while picking up the phone, knocking me out of my own little world. "I've never had it. But let's try it" I smirk, resting my head on Phil's shoulder as he dials the number.
