Never Been Hurt (Dan Howell x Reader)

47: So Great To See You Again

The last day of Vidcon. I can't believe it's almost over already. I had so much fun meeting YouTubers, doing challenges (They even made me do the baby food challenge), meeting and hanging with fans. Well Id better live it up today while I can! Dan and I walked around the floor hand in hand. We stopped to take pictures with fans, then went to talk to other YouTubers.

"You've gotta come over one day!" Marzia said to me. "I know I really want to! I wanna meet Edgar and Mya!" I smile. "Speaking of, where is Felix?" Marzia looked around. "I really don't know," I tell her. "He's probably hanging with Jack and Mark," I tell her. "Knowing them, yeah," her and I laugh. "I can only imagine what those idiots are getting up to.

"Is it bad I ship septiplier?" She ask. "No! I did too until him and Lilly got together. That hasn't stopped me from reading the fan fictions," I laugh. "You know I've seen some pretty bad shit about you and Dan," Marzia shutters. "Fans have very vivid imaginations," I chuckle. "Oh you have no idea," some girl with blue hair pops up starting both Marzia and I. "Sorry to bother but... hi! I love you both! I was wondering if I could have an Autograph and a hug?" She sweet girl questions. "Sure!" I smile. After signing her paper, I gave her a huge hug. "Stay cool!" I tell her as she walks away. Such a sweet thing.

It feels great to be here. No Danny, no drama that concerns him. Just me my boyfriend and our best friend with his boyfriend. I sigh leaning my head back. My eyes grew a bit heavy. I guess I've been working hard to get things put away again. "You alright?" Dan asked popping his head into the room. "Yeah just fine, just feeling like taking a break," I tell him truthfully. "I'll get more of this done. Why don't you go get some tea or something down at the local cafe and relax yourself," Dan suggest. "You sure?" I ask. "Very, you need a break go take one," he smiles. I nod and manage to pick myself up.

I head out grabbing the car keys. I drove to the local cafe Dan was talking about. I got out of the car and headed in. Chairs and tables were everywhere. People on mostly computers, a mug of coffee or tea next to them. I got into the line and was up at the counter fairly quickly as there wasn't many people in line. I ordered what I'd like and went to go sit down. I pulled my phone from my back pocket, my screen already showing multiple notifications, checking social media and replying back to whatever I could. Soon a lovely barista guy brung me my mug. "I just wanted to say I love your videos and congrats!" I smile and thanked him and he walked away. I sipped as I read a book on my phone. So very relaxing.

"Hi Y/n!" I look away from my screen to see it was that guy I had met at Vidcon. What was his name? "Hi...."
"Eric," he finishes for me. "Eric!" I smile. "I couldn't help but notice you! I didn't know you moved here now!" He smiles. "Yeah thought it was best," I nod. "Can I sit?" He ask motioning to the seat in front of mine. "Sure," I nod. "I can't believe I'm meeting you twice! This is so amazing!" He smiles. "You're too kind!"

This guy sounds an awful lot like Danny. I'm being paranoid though. Danny is all the way in the US. He's have cops swarming him if he were to attempt to leave.

"So what made you decide to stay here?" He strikes up a conversation. "I just thought it might be better for me to have a fresh start somewhere new. What about you? I mean I didn't know you didn't live in the US," I explain.

"I'm honestly just trying to find a better life for myself. My family... well more specifically my parents they don't want me around right now.." he trails off. "Do you wanna talk about it?" I ask. "Please?"
I nod my head for him to go on. "I was kicked out... The reason for that is because I came out to them. I'm gay," and that arrest my case that can't be Danny.
He continued, "and they just couldn't stand having a disappointment in the family. So they gave me a month to find somewhere else to live. I did and my parents haven't contacted me since. My siblings yes but not my parents," he says. Aw poor thing.

"I'm sorry to hear about that. Hey, things will get better with or without your parents in the picture. Like as you know I've explained it on my channel, when my life was at rock bottom it got better with time. I mean my best friend Lynn was my hero I could say, if you haven't already you'll meet yours. Unless you have to be your own of course," I say taking the last gulp. "I've found my hero," he says a smile stretching his lips.

"Yo, E babe we're about to head out!" A brunette guy calls out from the door. "Okay! It was so nice seeing you again!" He says standing. "I should be going too," I say using my arms to stand. "Let me help," Eric says coming over to me and helping me stand. I thank him and grab my things. "Thank you so much for the talk."
"No problem," I smile. I walk out and get into the car. I start to drive. Almost home I could feel my self starting to get dizzy. I shook my head and breathed in deeply as tried to shake off the feeling. I got home safely. I sat in the car contemplating whether or not it would be necessary to call Dan out. He could be doing something important right now.

I get up dizziness still attacking me but this time it becoming more prominent. I lean on the car, breathing heavily. I get up when I feel it ease up. I manage to get to the door and lean on it before opening it. I open the door almost falling over when I open it. The world was spinning. I closed the door and leaned on it closing my eyes and swallowing hard. "Y/n where'd you want me to put this-" Dan stopped noticing my state and put whatever he was holding down and ran over to me. "Are you okay?" His voice sounded closer. "Just really dizzy," I answer. "When'd you get like this?" He asked helping me around the house. When I opened my eyes the world was spinning I shut them keeping them closed tightly.
"On the way home, it got worst when I got home," I said. "Why didn't you call me to help you?" Dan asked. "I thought you might've been doing something- important I didn't want to bother you."
"We're rounding a corner," Dan told me, then continued, "I wasn't doing anything important! Even if I wouldn't have hesitate to come out there and get you! Sit," he tells me. I sit down feeling it was my bed. I lay down slowly and sigh. "Sorry," I apologize. I open my eyes to see him overlong above me. "Just tell me next time." He says brushing hair out my face.  He kissed my forehead and stood up straight.

"Guess who I saw today at the coffee shop?" I saw resting my hand on my stomach subconsciously.
"A barista?"
I roll my eyes and chuckle at his joke. "Dan!" I laugh. "Yes babe?" He says laying down next to me. "I saw that guy um.. Eric! I met him at vidcon."
"What'd he say?"
"We were just talking about, well- him. Poor thing got kicked out because he was gay," I explain. "That is really sad. I feel bad for the poor guy," Dan says.

"Well he seems to be happier now. He has a boyfriend. I'm guessing his boyfriend is taking care of him which I find to be really sweet," I smile. "That is sweet. How are you feeling?" Dan ask turning on his side to look at me. I turn on my side to face him. "A lot better, the feelings still there but it's not as bad as it was."
"Good."

He puts his hand on my tummy, and looking at it he grins. I put my hand on top of his and his eyes looked up to meet my own. As he got up to scoot closer to me his hand slid around to my back. He leans up to connect our lips. I immediately melt into the kiss. I'm a lucky one.
