FGFF ~ Dan and Phil X reader interactive story

Six months 2

"Oh god, wake up." I heard Dan's panicked voice say. I groaned and rolled over in bed.
"Seriously, apparently my parents have been calling me all morning and they're in London and they wanted to have dinner at three.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Nearly two." He said in a serious tone. "And it's going to take forever to get there." From just the sound of his voice he sounded stressed out.
I had no desire to go with what they had done six months ago, but I didn't want to make Dan anymore stressed or upset so I jumped out of bed and began to get ready.

Hopefully it'll at least go a little better than last time considering when I talked to them a few weeks ago and brought you up it wasn't so bad." He said as he buttoned up his shirt and put on jeans.

I recall him mentioning this conversation to me and honestly it gave me a little hope. Dan really cared about what they thought because he loved them, but he hated the fact that they were so unsupportive through out his life. He wanted so badly for them to like me but for a few months he gave up on them and just stopped talking to them.

"I'm sure it'll be fine, and even if it's not we'll still make the best of it like last time." I said as I hurried through getting ready and attempting to put something nice on, maybe something that hopefully made me look a little older.

He called a taxi and we literally did our best to get our shit together in the time that we could, but we had a long night so to speak and he had like two love bites on his neck that he was desperately trying to cover up with his collar and I had a rats nest for hair from him pulling on it all night.

"I look like a homeless drug addict." I whined as I panicked for time.

"At least we match. Just think of it as we're one of those cute couples who match up their outfits, but our outfits don't match but we're just a proper mess together." He said making me laugh and easing some of my panic.

"Did I make you laugh?" He now called from the bathroom.

"You always make me laugh." I replied.

"Good, hold onto that laughter and happiness while you can because here in a little bit my family is going to be verbally sodomizing us." He said walking back into the room looking a little more put together now.

"Wow. That was a little graphic." I said back.

It took us a minute to finish getting ready and we heard the taxi honk outside.

"Christ." Dan sighed as he finished putting on shoes.
He took my hand and basically dragged me out of the flat.

"Phil!" He called before leaving "could you-" he then cut himself off "oh fucking forget it." He muttered before closing the door behind him.

In the taxi he had his arm around me but his knee bounced wildly and I knew he was on edge.

"Just breathe." I put my hand on his knee to stop it. "It will be fine." I tried to calm him.

"I'm just- I'm afraid of a fiasco like last time and what if they say something really hurtful to you or what if we end up fighting because of something they say or-"

"We're not going to fight, they can't hurt me and I love you." I told him his brown eyes looked into my eyes nervously for a moment.

"I just don't want to lose you especially over something like that." He admitted.

"You're never going to lose me." I assured him.

"You have no idea how good and calm that makes me feel right now." He told me.

"I can say it all the way there if you want." I jokingly offered.

"No, I believed you the first time." He said and threaded his fingers through mine in my lap. His hands were clammy from stress but I knew there wasn't much more I could do or say to ease his worries.

We pulled up at the very same restaurant and ended up at the exact same table with his parents sitting there and giving me flashbacks of the barrage of abuse they hurled at me last time.

But this time,
This time was different.
His mother stood from her chair and hugged me and told me it was nice to see me again making Dan shoot me a surprised look as his father told me the same.

"How have you two been?" She asked us, but Dan looked to me to answer.

"Good, really good actually. We just really officially announced we were together yesterday, so that was quite the step."

"Just yesterday?" Dan's father asked. "I figured you two would've already done that by now."

"We just decided to wait, everyone basically knew anyway, we had vaguely talked about it before separately but it was the first time everyone had really seen us together." Dan explained.

"Ohhh I see." Dan's dad said.

"You showed your face as well?" His mum asked me making me think maybe she had been watching my videos or something.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"How was that? Nervous?" She asked.

"It was, but Dan is such a pro at that and he made me feel really comfortable." I replied.

"I'm sure it's a little strange to have that many people watching you at once completely live." She said.

"Like right now." Dan said but I realized what he said made no sense and gave him a strange look and he looked at me.
"Yeah, everyone is watching you right now but don't be nervous." He said and got up from his seat and got on one knee on the floor. I saw that he had been holding onto my ring in his hand.
It took me a second to really process the situation.

"You little shit." I said in shock and he grinned up at me and looked into my eyes.

"So I know friends don't normally propose to friends but you're obviously a lot more than that to me and you have been since the day I saw you sitting there at that table alone. I never want you to be alone again, I never want there to be a day when I don't make you laugh at my stupidity or ever have to sleep without you. I love you more-" he stopped himself and chuckled as he wiped tears from his eyes and then apologized nervously for it "I love you more than you will ever realize and you're just the most beautiful person throughout and when I look at you all I've ever seen is my future which use to terrify the hell out of me, but my life wouldn't be good without you. So," he then grinned "you gonna say yes or are you going to make me have to steal this ring from you a second time and do this all over again, because it's quiet hard when you never take it off." He said making me laugh through the tears running down my cheeks.

"Say yes!" I heard Phil's voice and then Owens from somewhere in the restaurant but I couldn't look away from Dan.

"Of course." I couldn't think of any more fitting or true answer. He took my hand and looked at me and slipped the ring back on my finger where it belonged. I helped him up off the floor and we both stood and just held each other for a moment before he kissed me. There was clapping heard from every corner of the restaurant.

"I love you more than anything." He said and I sucked him back into a tight hug from happiness.

"Oh my god I love you too you have no idea." I replied.

Everyone finally came out of hiding and I was just overwhelmed at the fact that he had put all of this together somehow. How long did this even take him? How did he know that I would say yes or that I wanted this.

I asked him later how he even knew I'd say yes or that I was ready for this and he told me he just somehow knew, sometimes by looking at me and sometimes he would get this feeling recently like the time was right, and it was weird because I had been having the same feeling that would just creep up on me and sometimes I'd look at him and imagine him proposing or being stressed before our wedding.
We both just knew we had moved to the point in our special friendship where we knew without even speaking to each other about it that the time was right.
