Little Wonder (Phan)

Ninety-Seven.

"So I'm about to give you people what you what most in the entire world." Smiling sweetly at the camera like I was about to tell them the biggest secret ever I licked my lips before speaking once more. "Phil and I. .. Are getting another puppy!" Beaming at the audience I couldn't help but to inwardly snicker. Our past pups hadn't lived to long or we hadn't been able to take care of them and had to give them away, but now I think we were finally ready to have another one. "This one is going to be a pug (and the writer isn't going to forget that this one actually exists) and I think that it's going to be a guy. Well, if Lester knows what's good for him it's gonna be a guy." I gave a little wave of my hand before smiling. "He would do anything I said, simply by asking." That was one of the dumbest things I could've ever said, because there was a constant question climbing it's way to the top of the chat now. "Is that why you've changed your name to Daniel Lester?" I was thrown off for a second before I realised that my YouTube Channel was now named Daniel Lester. They were bound to realise it sooner or later and I had a feeling that they'd figured it out awhile ago but that the audience had matured enough and given us time to explain. Except that we hadn't and now their patience must've run out. "Oh shit, I forgot to turn it back from April!"

April Fools, the only way I was going to be able to turn this thing back around before to many people began to think about it. "Yeah." I was nodding and smiling, like I was trying to convince myself more than them. "Hey did you guys know that Winnie has a friend now?" And there I go making a complete fool of myself. Why should I know every little thing about Winnie? It's not like she was my daughter or anything. Wincing I coughed a bit, "His name is Miles. I think he must be related to PJ or something, they look the same." Just keep going with it and don't let anyone ask questions. Despite the fact that they already were. "I know that it's almost April soon and don't you worry, me and Phil have a fantastic video coming out (hahahahahaha, thank me for the pun later) soon, so. .. Get ready!" Laughing nervously I checked the time and felt blessed that I was going a little longer than usual, until someone asked a very interesting question, and I had a feeling that others had noticed my reaction. "How do you know when your in love, Dan?"

I didn't realise I'd started answering until I had. "Well, you start to realise that you'd do anything for the other person. You'd give up your own life if need be, go to the ends of the earth and back and go again if they wanted you to. When you realise that it's the little things they do that make you smile and laugh and. .. makes your heart swell." Sighing lovingly I saw Phil behind me from the reflection of my screen, he'd obviously been watching and was obviously moved, I could see that he was smiling. "They're a person that means the world to you, they do everything they can to show you that they love you, and they'll protect you no matter what." Looking down so I knew that it wouldn't look bad, I began to laugh. "When you realise that the tears you shed for them are nothing but happy, that you get jealous because you've found something good and you never want to let that go. When you realise that, for the first time in your life, your blissfully happy and you wouldn't trade it for anything in the world." Phil was suddenly right behind me and put his hands on my shoulder, and despite knowing that this looked bad and one way more than the other, I really didn't care at the moment. "You know you're in love by the little things, like the way they gentle touch your arm, your face, your shoulder when they want your attention or they want you to know they mean something to you." I placed my hands over Phil's and smiled. "And when you, for the first time in a long time, smile." I turned my head and kissed the back of Phil's hand, and then reality slapped me in the face. "Okay, that's all we have time for, goodbye!" And I slammed the laptop closed, oh shit. "Phil, I guess the cat's outta the bag huh?" I grinned up.

He pecked my cheek and I heard an amused chuckle escaped him. "We are still posting the video." I laughed a bit and nodded, kissing him gently.
