Summary: Dan and Phil get emotional during the last ever show on their tour.
-

It was the final show of Tatinof.

Cheers and screams echoed around the theatre. The entire show had been a blur, Dan and Phil had still put just as much effort into it, of course. However the emotional rollercoaster that had been their lives for the last year was drawing to a close.

They'd been all around the world, meeting fans and performing and doing the craziest things, but for Dan the best part was that he got to do it with Phil.

Without Phil none of this would have happened. Phil had been the one who convinced Dan to start a YouTube channel, Phil been the one to help him through the tough times when he doubted himself and Phil had been the one who always stood by him, just as he was now. Dan looked over to his boyfriend who was beaming proudly.

The music sounded behind them as they got in position to perform the final song.

'Whenever I'm alone, or if I'm feeling grey...'

Phil began as the crowd cheers grew louder.

'There's one place I can go to brighten up my dayyy'

Phil was trying hard not to look back at Dan, knowing that tears would start to form if he did.

'It makes me want to sing, that's how the show should end, but wouldn't it be good if I... could sing it with a friend'

Phil gestured over to the brown haired boy.

'Okay fine, whatever I'll join in tooo!'

Dan had no moment to catch his breathe as he ran to get his golden jacket on, he glanced over at Phil who was hurriedly putting on his to run back on stage.

The song flew past like a whirlwind, as they danced. The two boys felt truly immersed in the song and motivation from the crowd.

'The internet is here, the internet is great. When you've got lots of followers, who needs a real maaate?' They sung, gesturing to the audience.

'Without the internet' they turned to face each other 'We never would have met'

Dans heart skipped a beat as if his emotions were just catching up. They took off their hats and carried on dancing to the routine, their legs kicking in the air.

'Life is so much better, when you spend it all online!'
The final words of the song left their lips, they tossed the hats in the air and the golden confetti came trickling down. Dan looked over at Phil again, he had time to think now, the crowd's screams seemed to have been silenced by his brain. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. Phil watched as a single tear rolled down Dan's face and fell to the floor with the confetti.

The next thing he knew Dan was off the stage, Phil led him into the dressing room where they both sat down. Not only was Dan's mind a blur but so was his vision, dazed and distorted by tears.

'So' Phil began, finally managing to get his words out. 'I guess that's it then' Phil's eyes flickered brightly like his jacket 'After a whole year of traveling the world and meeting everyone this is it'

Phil tried to carry on rambling aware of the fact that Dan was crying but Dan stopped him.

'Phil I, I don't know what to say'
Dan's hands trembled. Phil wiped the tears from Dan's face and lifted his head by the chin.

'Then don't say anything at all' Phil said, his lips meeting Dan's. At that moment Dan's mind calmed, his rushed and speeding thoughts came to a halt, his tears stopped and Phil felt his lips curl into a smile. As he pulled away he brought Dan into a tight hug.

'Phil'
Dan had found his voice once again.

'Lets go home'

The two boys walked down the corridor, holding hands.
'You know, it's a shame we couldn't have borrowed some of that confetti for that kiss' Phil remarked, making Dan giggle fondly.
