Closer - Phil Lester X Dan(ni) Howell | COMPLETED

*Part 10 - TRUE ENDING*

Dan(ni)'s POV:

      Phil stared at me with a look I've never seen before. They were eyes with such sadness and disappointment. "O-oh," Phil said nearly in tears. "I don't understand, I thought you wanted this. Start a life together, and maybe start a family together." Phil stood up. "Don't you want that?" "Phil of course I do!" I sat back down on the bench. "I-I..." I guess this is the best time to tell him the truth. "I-*sigh*...Not like this." Phil sat down next to me. "What do you mean, Danni?" "Dan...not Danni." Phil looked confused as I stood up. *sigh* So many thought were running through my mind. What if he really does loves Danni more than me? What if he kicks me out onto the streets because of this? IS THIS THE END FOR DAN AND PHIL?! I became angry, no furious! I started to cry and scream, "I am Daniel James Howell! I am 26 years old and I became a female by mistake, that my best friend tried to fix himself!" Oh you think I didn't end up noticing that all my old Halloween chemicals were gone? I looked at Phil who was in tears and standing, at least a few feet away from me. "And I didn't care if he did try to help!" I could hear my voice grow lower. I ran my fingers through my hair, pulling out long hairs covering my old haircut. I kicked my shoes off as my dress got tighter, and the ground beneath became farther away. "Be-because..."

???'s POV:

      "I-I LOVE HIM!" I opened my eyes to see Phil starring straight at me with a horrified, yet over-joyed expression. He seemed smaller than a couple moments ago. I start to look at myself: no chest, short hair, long legs, lower voice, and male parts!...no... "D-DAN!"

Dan's POV:

      Phil came racing into my arms and kissed me as we both fell to the ground. I could hear my now shrunken dress ripping along the back and sides. "PHIL!"

Phil's POV:

      Oh my god! It's Dan! Danni was Dan all along. How could I have ignored all the signs? I knew something was up with Danni, and I was sure that Dan was never going to come back to me. I never knew how much I cared for Dan until he wasn't here with me. "Dan, I thought you would never come back!" I said as we both stood. "I thought that this would be the end of Dan and Phil forever. That dreadful day when we would finally go our separate ways and never, ever even think of each other. Like old college room-mates." I was in tears, still in shock. "Oh Phil," Dan wiped away the tears and grabbed my hands. "I will never leave you, no matter what." I giggled, "even if you or me became girls?" I laughed as Dan blushed. "Ha...yes. Even if I was a girl again, I'll always be here." Our foreheads met. "You know, I normal person's first response to someone passing out would be to rush them to the hospital, not a DIY laboratory." Dan said expressing his opinion. I blushed. "You really thought I would notice that my kit went missing?" We both started laughing as we stepped away to catch our breath. "Now," he continued. "Isn't there something you wanted to ask me?" Dan smiled as he stood patiently waiting. I knew exactly what he wanted, like I always do. I got down on one knee once again. "Daniel James Howell," Man it feel good to say that again. I grabbed his braced wrist, that should probably be loosened, as I picked up the black box from the ground. "Will you become MY rat...and marry me?" Dan laughed like a hyena as tears were streaming down his face for what seemed like the thousandths time. "Yes, Phil Lester." I slid the slightly too small ring onto his finger as I stood up to kiss him.

      The story of Danni may have ended, but the story of the NEW Dan and Phil...has just begun.

Narrator's POV:

      Everyone in the church stood up as the chapel doors opened so you could see Dan in a black tucks with a white tie, and Phil with a white tucks and a black tie...and of course, his pearly white shoes. Their arms were linked as they started walking down the isle. Phil could see his parents in the pews in tears of joy. Martyn, Phil's older brother, walked behind the couple as Phil's Best Man with Dan's younger brother, (he shall not be named for the sake of my survival from the Phandom), as Dan's Best Man. Dan could see his parents in the pews as well, in tears of joy. The may not always agree with the LGBTQ+ community, but they were happy for him and Phil. Dan finally found someone he really cares for, and knows he will protect him. Gay or not, man or women, Dan would have chosen Phil over anything.

      "Do you, Daniel James Howell, take Phil as your loving husband? In sickness and in health?" "I do..." "Then do you, Philip Michael Lester, take Dan as you loving husband? In sickness and in health?" "I do..." The preacher looked at both Dan and Phil with amazement. "Then by the power given to me, I pronounce you husband...and rat." Everyone started laughing as Dan face palmed. The preacher then looked at the newly weds and said, "You may kiss the groom...s." Dan placed his hands around Phil's hips as Phil's hand cupped onto Dan's cheeks (FACE CHEEKS...this is a wedding, you perverts!) as they passionately kissed one another for the first time as husbands. As they separated, their foreheads touched as the both said,

      "This was the most fun we've ever had..."

      All they needed to become was a little bit...CLOSER.
