Rebuilt (Dan X Phil)

The Bubble Tea Incident

The two sat together on the park bench for a few minutes, staying silent as they relax and look at their surroundings. The scene was beautiful, yet quite dull since it was a normal grey day in London. Neither Dan or Phil spoke for the time they sat, as they both were lost in a forest of thoughts about what happened today, the past two months, and how they can resolve their relationship. 

Police cars raced past with sirens and lights, followed by a paramedic rapid response car. A fire engine went off in the opposite direction also with its lights on. People crowded the streets, walking through town and taking angry phone calls. Yes, it was a normal day in London, the dark capital of England. Phil looked up to see the directions in which the sirens went, letting out a sigh before deciding to break their silence. "Dan- uh... want to go get dinner now? I think we should film a sims video tonight just to let our remaining subscribers know we are alive" He spoke calmly followed by a nervous laugh.  Dan looked back at Phil, responding with a simple nod and he closes his eyes "yeah, okay. I'm paying for the meal though, so you can choose what we have" He leant over a little and kisses Phil's cheek before standing up and beginning to walk. After hearing his partners response, Phil stood up and followed close behind him. "How about a nice Italian meal? I really fancy a pasta based meal" The male caught up and walked beside Dan, who was already walking in the direction of the Italian restaurant "Phil. you have read my mind, Pasta sounds good tonight. we must stop and grab a bubble tea before heading home too.. might put us in a better mood"

How wrong he was, little did he know, it would not improve their moods in the slightest.

"wow that was a good meal, thanks Dan... I'll go set up the gaming room.." Phil smiles and walked to the gaming room, beginning to clean up a little so they could actually sit and begin recording.  Dan nodded then went and checked Tumblr quickly. Of course, he slumped into his sofa crease and got into the browsing position. He began to look at the Phan tags and it was a journey through cringe, a lot of phanfic, phan art and head canons. Yes he was glad to see such support from fans about their channels, but also glad that 90% of their fan base supported homosexual relationships. It was a load of cringe and creativity, but then he sipped some of his bubble tea and put the laptop down.  As he was about to stand up, Phil walked in smiling happily at Dan "The gaming room is set up. and the Sims is loading".  Dan huffed and pulled himself up, walking over to his partner and kissing him softly "okay, thank you" They both went to the gaming room and began to record their next sims 4 video.

Only 5 minutes into recording, Phil stood up and quickly left the room. Confused, Dan paused the recording and the game, following his partner out of the room "Phil? what's wrong? are you okay?" He followed Phil to the bathroom, where the male was stood by the mirror and looking at a red mark forming on his chin and his arm, then he looks back at Dan. "did you get a mixed bubble tea?" He asked shakily.  Dan was still confused and concerned, and he nodded sowly "Yeah... why?"   Phil looked back at Dan "I am having an allergic reaction to one of the flavourings... I don't know which one"   Hearing this, Dan quickly went to the kitchen and grabbed a tube of rash cream and a allergy pill, then ran back to Phil and handed them to him "Here use these"

'damnit... my fault again. I should have just gotten my normal order' Dan mentally shouted at himself but stays by his partner as he was concerned. Phil drank some water, took the pill and applied the cream to the red areas. "Thank you Dan... it isn't your fault" 

Only a few minutes passed and they went back to finish the video. After another hour of filming and laughing, they signed off and went down to the living room, where they both sat in their usual spots on the sofa. Dan in his sofa crease, scrolling through Tumblr and Phil sat by watching Buffy for the billionth time.  

It wasn't long before Phil looked over at his partner and let out a gentle sigh "Dan... why did you get so mad earlier? what did I do wrong?" He looked down to avoid eye contact.  Dan just stops scrolling, and looked at the TV, letting out a heavy sigh and rolling his eyes a little "Because, we promised not to let our relationship get in the way of our YouTube careers, yet it did. and you started complaining about it, when it kinda is your fault that we are losing subscribers and you decided to remind me of something that I already knew...  Then, instead of discussing the situation, you go and start eating cereal. worst part is, it is my cereal and I don't have much of it left." He was beginning to get mad again, folding his arms and placing his laptop beside him.   Phil was a little taken back by the animosity of Dans tone. It was very out of character for him, and even Phil was able to pick that up.  "I'm sorry... I-" He was interrupted by Dan. "Sorry doesn't fix things, Phil... ugh let's just not talk about this tonight. I don't think the bubble tea agrees with me either..."   

And with that, Dan stood up and walked to the door. Phil looks up "Where are you going?"  The angered male just sighed heavily "bed. night'" He then went to his room, leaving Phil in the lounge, confused and upset. 

"I am dreading tomorrow.. I hope he won't be like this tomorrow" Phil mumbled, before switching everything off and going to his own room to process what had happened today. It was their first big argument.

The kind of argument that leads to a breakup...
