FGFF ~ Dan and Phil X reader interactive story

"I feel the same. I just got so confused with Dan and I thought I missed him and everything but I didn't. Everything just reminds me of you. I need to think about this though and clear my head, I think I'm just going to bed." I told him.

"So no cuddles tonight?" He pouted.

"Just give me some time." I gave him a reassuring smile

I felt a warm hand suddenly on mine.

"You know I'll care about you no matter what you do, right?" He asked.

"I know Philly, that's why you're better than anyone else. Rest up though tomorrow evening you have a show to put on." I reminded him.

"I didn't forget, I've only been nervous about it for the past couple of months. You coming to rehearsal and everything with us in the morning?" He asked.

"I suppose if I'm going to be your assistant as agreed during this whole thing then I probably should." I told him.

"I'm pretty sure that duty also includes preventing Dan from murdering me... if possible." He laughed.

"I'll make sure of it." I gave him a smile and leaned in for a hug. He squeezed me tightly.

"I don't know what I'd do without you." He told me.

"Have a better life." I joked as we pulled out of the hug.

"Definitely not. Off to bed, you have a big day too."

I got up from the bed and told him goodnight before going to my room.

"You know I still don't love you right?"
What he said had hurt. He had implied that he never did love me, ever and that's the part that hurt the worst, not that he didn't now, but that he never did. He was so hot headed and such a cold jerk sometimes that I remembered just why I had fallen out of love with him. He hadn't fixed that part of himself at least.

The next morning my alarm went off and I got up to find the guys were taking turns hogging the bathroom, but completely without speaking to each other.

Phil gave me a bunch of things he wanted me to hold in the taxi on the way to the studio we had to go to for them to brush up on some things.

I ended up sitting there and watching them try their best to practice and things, but a few incidences occurred.

"(Y/N) could you get me a water please?" A very sweaty phil asked.

"Me too please?" Dan threw in.

"Um, she's my assistant." Phil told him.

"What? Is that why she's here? To be your personal slave?" Dan asked.

"And moral support." Phil threw in.

"Well why can't she also get me a water if she's already getting you one then?"

"You said you hated her last night!" Phil had now decided to throw real blows.

"That's not what I said and you know it!" Dan argued.
I had already gotten two waters and was standing in front of them watching them argue.

"You said-" Phil began but I once again ended their arguing.

"Hey! Boys! Enough! Here, drink this and chill." I said dryly and handed them each a water. They both took a moment to them selves and seemed as alright as they could be after that, well, minus Phil accidentally bumping into Dan during the dance number causing Dan to mutter fuck off to Phil under his breath.

After that Phil and I decided to walk across the street to eat some lunch, which Dan turned down.
We took our sandwiches back the studio and ate outside.

"So I take it you still haven't talked to him yet." Phil said.

"You haven't either, but the way he acted towards you in there  I kind of don't blame you. I'll have to do it soon, we can't have him acting that way tonight." I agreed.

"He acts as though we did something to him when he just doesn't understand."

"I think he understands perfectly." I told Phil "You know I like you, I know you like me and I think he knows all that too. I think he knew instantly that I really didn't love him anymore. I had already hurt him before you even warned me. He knew before either of us. And that's why he said the things he did." I told Phil.

I looked down at my last half of sandwich with displeasure.

"Eat this." I told Phil and gave it to him before standing up. He knowingly gave me the bag containing Dan's sandwich and I took it before heading back inside.

Once I opened the door piano music echoed throughout the studio. I walked into the room to see Dan sitting there in the corner of the room playing all alone with his back to me.

I knew this song.
I had made him learn this song as soon as I found out he could play.
He hated this song and the band though, but he had still learned it for me.

I sat down Where I stood until I gained the courage to sing.

"Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
No body said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start."
I began to sing the lyrics to The Scientist by Coldplay and I ended it there because I'm terrible at singing, but he now knew I was there and listing but he didn't stop playing. I walked over and sat next to him on the piano bench and watched his fingers play the keys as he still pretended I wasn't there. I then I looked at his face so concentrated and pretty and just sad and tired looking.
Looking at his face made me think of how he use to smile at me, sometimes so hard his eyes would crinkle in the corners and his dimples were so visible.

The song ended with an abrupt and almost startling smashing of random keys snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Shit!" I said in surprise making him snort a little in amusement.

"What?" He finally turned to me and asked.

"I brought you lunch." I held up the bag. "It's exactly how you like it."

"Thanks." He replied and took it from me.

"Also I wanted to know if you'd like to talk?" I asked. He stared down for a second as if thinking about it.

"I would actually... but I think you already know what I want to say."

"That you didn't mean it?" I asked.

"Pretty much." He replied. "I don't know why I'm like this with you."

"Dan, the truth is. I didn't mean to say what I said either." I admitted.

"About you loving me." He said it in the form of a statement. He then looked away from me. "So you don't."

"I wanted to try to again, I loved you so much before and I just wanted to try. You blew up on this though." I sighed "You've gotta stop doing that, he's your best friend."

"I know." He said quietly "Nothing's his fault. All he ever wants is to be kind. You'd be better off with him honestly."

"Dan, stop. Let's not play this game right now. You know you have to stop being so jealous and things." I told him.

"I-I just love you though and it's scary seeing you so close to someone else. I don't think I'm ever going to get you back though, am I?" I could see a hint of tears beginning to fill his brown eyes and making them look glassy. "I've gone and fucked it up for myself. I just want to go back, I just want to start over."

• Should you tell Dan you just want to be friends and there's no chance of you two ever getting back together or should you tell him you have a lot of things to think about right now.
