Summary: Dan slowly comes to the realization that he's in love
-

Dan was sat at his desk editing the new gamingmas video. He took an awful long time to edit normally because he usually just ended up watching the videos rather than getting them ready to upload.

As Dan watched back the video, he found himself smiling. The way he and Phil just had such great chemistry never failed to make the videos hilarious for the people who watched them.

Speaking of which Dan had really been fucking with the people who watched their videos recently. He had started to stare at Phil for a little longer than usual and was constantly poking him or touching him, he was only messing of course.

He wasn't in love with Phil. No. Phil was his best friend.

The fans had picked up on this instantly, some going a little crazy while others just seemingly thinking that Dan was just being a giant troll (perhaps a little more than he did himself).

Dan often questioned his love life. He knew one thing for sure: he wasn't straight, but his knowledge of his sexuality ended there. He still felt as though he could possibly fall in love with a girl but boys just seemed so much better.

He looked back down at the screen of his laptop after distracting himself with his thoughts. he'd had paused the video on a moment where Phil was looking straight at the camera, his bluey green eyes sparkling. Dan's heart leapt at the sight.

He slammed shut the laptop.

The next day were up in the office, they had just been filming a new video for the channel (God, this whole gamingmass thing was a lot of work).

Phil was wearing his glasses today. A little smile formed on Dan's lips as he looked up at him.

'Hey Phil' Dan began after the video was over. 'You uh, look nice in your glasses'
'Thanks, your hairs looking very hobbity today' Phil giggled.
'Dude, that's not a compliment if that's what you were going for'
The two boys giggled as they left the office.

'Idiot!' Dan muttered to himself as he lay on his bed thinking about what he had said to Phil earlier. he could hear Phil in the room next door obliviously playing a video game or something.

It hadn't even been on camera so he had no excuse, he wasn't just 'messing with the fans' anymore.

'But I mean it's perfectly normal, friends are allowed to compliment each other, right?' Dan eventually convinced himself not quite as convincingly as he would have hoped.

The next day had been a bit of a blur for Dan, he had stayed in his room all day trying to avoid Phil. He had no reason to leave his room so why should he? He had his laptop and phone and they and already prerecorded today's video. Except, there was one thing Dan had forgotten about.

His stomach rumbled. Food. Dan sighed, getting up to walk into the kitchen.

As hard as he had tried to dash back into his room after making his dinner, Dan's plan was foiled by Phil. He came bouncing into the room, asking him if he wanted to watch an episode of Death note.

Accepting defeat, Dan plonked himself down on the sofa next to Phil who was editing. He looked over at Phil's screen to see that the video just so happened to be paused on a moment where Dan was looking into Phil's eyes in a way that was anything but platonic.

Dan mentally slapped himself

It was a little later now. They were both still sat watching TV. Dan had been avoiding Phil's gaze all evening whilst still trying to have a convincing rational conversation with him and not screaming like he was inside. Pretty hard actually.

'Dan, are you ok' Phil spoke up after a little while.

Crap.

'Yeah. Why?' Dan responded.
'I don't know you've been acting a little... Well wierd'
'it's nothing, I'm just... I'm just tired'
'I dont believe you. If you're really fine then look me in the eyes and tell me' Phil demanded.

Dan looked up, he fixed his eyes on Phil's and tried to speak. Fuck his eyes were so blue, they were like pools so deep you could drown in them and Dan certainly felt like he was.

'Phil look I, the reason I've been...'
Phil kept his eyes locked on Dan.
'The reason why I've been staying in my room all day is because my mind has been driving me crazy' Dan wasn't drowning anymore, his words were flooding 'I, Ive been questioning my sexuality for a while now and well I've been almost at war with myself.'

Dan took a deep breath before he carried on.

'But the thing is Phil I think... I think I'm in love with you'

Both boys paused for a moment, it was almost as if neither of them had ever spoke. But then it happened. Phil leaned in and kissed him.

The second their lips met the thoughts stopped cascading through Dan's head. Phil pulled him closer and put his arms around him. Dan opened his eyes in disbelief as to whether this was actually happening, it was. He closed his eyes again placed his hand on be back of Phil's head, playing with his hair.

They pulled away and looked at each other. Dan's face showing nothing but shock, Phil's face showing something else...

'Dan' he whispered.
'Yeah?'
'I think I might love you... Too'
