A/N: Y/F/M means Your Favorite Movie

Y/N's POV

-

God that was awkward, Phil is gonna see right through me.

My nervousness settled down after a while when Phil came back in. Dan and I had a lot of things in common, especially when it came to our sardonic humor. Chatting with him was always fun.

And very playful.

Catching up was amazing. Now that we were actually friends I didn't feel as much pressure. Well.... 'as much'

I took off my Jacket and put it in my bag as the material started to bother me.

By now Phil had went off to the grocery store to buy things for a baking video we were all filming and me and Dan decided to pass some time by playing Mario Kart.

Dan was "surprisingly" good
And by "surprisingly" I mean that it was no surprise to me as I watch all his and Phil's gaming videos.

But still... the level of skill he had was kinda freaky

Dan was in the lead and was clearly concentrated on the screen. So I saw this as an opportunity...

I hit him with a blue shell and immediately sat directly in front of him on his lap.

"HEY!" he whined, "As if the frikin' blue shell wasn't enough".

"Sorry not sorry!" I said, turning back to see his face. He pouted at me... he really is adorable. I couldn't help but let out a soft giggle scrunching up my nose.

When I was caught off guard he picked me up and layed me back down on the couch. He got on top of me and looked me in the eyes,

"You'll pay for this, Ms. Lester"

I was curious to see what he'd do, and was especially nervous with the position we were in. Before I knew it, he tickled me until I begged for mercy. I could barely breathe. "Stop! Stop! I'm sorry."

He finally gave in and pulled me back up. Let's just say, that was the worst we've ever done at Mario Kart.

We took a few deep breaths before a wonderful idea was brought up.

"Let's watch a movie. I mean... we still have a while before Phil comes back. We didn't exactly get to play Mario Kart for that long"
he suggested while giving me a sarcastic eyebrow raise.

"Sure. What movie?"

"How about... Y/F/M? You said it was your favorite in one of your videos." He smiled

"You watch my videos?"

"Why wouldn't I?! You're hilarious, I've seen every single one... not to sound creepy."

"No! Really, it's not. Same for you actually"

We sat in a comfortable silence. I felt proud knowing that Daniel Howell appreciated my videos. Soon, we got some popcorn and hot chocolate (plus an extra for Phil if he comes back anytime soon) and Dan got Netflix up on the TV.

Towards the beginning of the film I started to get a little cold. When Dan looked over and saw me shaking, he told me to wait right there.

He came back with a big, light blue blanket for the two of us and when I shivered he put his right arm around me for extra warmth. He's so considerate.

I snuggled in closer to him, "thanks" I said and look up at his dark chocolate eyes

When he looked down at me his eyes gazed from my eyes to my lips and back up again

"No problem..." I begun to question everything I knew

Wait, was this it? How it happens?

We slowly leant in...
