As Long As The Stars Stay In The Sky

Description: Phil plans on buying and moving into his old house now that his parents are selling it. Dan is unhappy with this and begs Phil to stay, and Phil winds up spilling a bit more than he meant to.

Warnings: It’s pretty badly written, and of course, like everything else, it’s sad, but no real warnings. I mean, unless you count a little bit of kissing as bad.

“Hey guys!”

  It was simple enough to do. Just make the video. Just tell them what you’re doing, Phil. Tell them what you’re doing. But he said those words and realized what he was doing might be a mistake. He realized he might lose a bunch of his subscribers and people might hate him. But, fuck, why was that their business? He was a grown man. No one should be able to influence his decisions. He was allowed to have a mind of his own. He looked up and noticed the camera was still rolling, and that now he needed to restart again. “Fuck,” he muttered under his breath. He stopped the video and got ready to try again. He half expected Dan to walk in and poke fun at him, to mock gasp at the fact that the innocent Philip Lester had just said ‘fuck’. But he realized Dan was probably still mad at him, and was probably still sulking in the corner with his head under a pillow. Maybe he was even crying. Phil wanted so badly to go and apologize for doing this, but like Dan had always told him, Youtube comes first. So he turned the camera on and tried again.

   “Hey guys! So I’ve been trying to make this video for maybe an hour now, but I keep being a usual Phil fail and zoning out. But, this video probably won’t be super entertaining. It’s just an update, really. So, if you’ve been watching my videos for a while, you know I’ve lived with Dan since 2011. We’ve actually moved since then, but we’ve stayed living together. I think I’ve actually discussed moving out before, but we never did because we know you all love us together.” He stopped to take a breath. He pointed to the background. “You might’ve noticed I’m not in my room. And that’s becauuussssee…” He held his hands out open for dramatic effect. “My room is empty!” He knew he’d later use that little red camera to give them a quick look at his bare room.  “That’s right guys, I’m moving. And I’m actually going somewhere you might know, if you’ve been here watching me for a long time.” He smiled wide, and he knew it was definitely the right choice to do this. It made him happy, so why should he care if a few people stopped watching? “I’m buying my old house! Yep, my parents were selling it and I missed it anyway, so I asked them and they made some arrangements and 2 weeks later, they told me it was mine. So, this’ll be a trip down memory lane! I’m going home guys!” He put his hands down. The next part was the part that might hurt a bit. “So, Dan’s going to stay here, I think, and we’ll still do videos every once in a while. I’ll still do the radio show and live shows and everything, so don’t worry. You aren’t losing either of us!” Phil honestly couldn’t stop smiling. This was going to be perfect. “I’ll probably post a proper video sometime later this week, but I just think you guys needed to know what would be going on.” He waved. “And today’s draw Phil naked is…” He paused like he always did, so future him could easily know where to put the picture. “Alright, bye!”

   He stopped the video and took the camera off the tripod. Now for the endless hours of editing. He pulled his laptop toward him and plugged the camera in, but he was interrupted when he heard a loud sniffle from behind him. He turned to see Dan. He was red in the face and his hair was still curly. He was just standing there staring at him, a bit awkwardly. Even though he had a blanket wrapped around his shoulders, Phil could see he was wearing one of his hoodies. “Dan, are you still mad?” he asked, standing up and hugging him. They never hugged on camera, but it was a regular occurrence when no one was filming. Dan shook his head. “No, I wasn’t ever mad, Phil, I was just sad. I like living with you. Can’t you just stay?” Phil sighed and rubbed Dan’s back in a friendly manner. “No, I can’t. I already bought it, Dan. I can’t just sell it five seconds later.” He pulled away to smile at him. “Maybe I’ll move back in a year or two, eh?”
