I guess I am kind of convinced he's the one.

I couldn't hold it in any longer. I burst out laughing. I took deep breaths, trying to stop myself, but then I caught the look on both their faces again and laughed even harder.

"What's so funny?" Phil asked, turning off the buzzer for the pizza. Dans eyes were fixated on the wall behind me, and his breathing was shallow.

I finally caught my breath and said, "Honestly you both looked so freaked out. Priceless. Did you think I was going to tweet about it or something?"

Dan finally flicked his eyes toward me. "Please don't." He was pleading with me, and Phil looked at him sorrowfully.

My smile faded. "Dan, I was just joking. I'm sorry I freaked you out so much. I'm not going to tell anyone anything."

Dan opened his mouth to say something, then sighed. "I'm sorry Mary. I should've known you weren't going to say anything. It's just..." he trailed off, looking at Phil. He gave him a smile, the genuine, real Phil smile I've seen so many times on camera.

Dan slowly smiled back. They were looking at each other so deeply I was feeling uncomfortable. I slowly moved to get a slice of the pizza and place it on my paper plate.

Dan blinked a couple times then looked back to me. "Um. Sorry. Uh..." he trailed off, staring at the pizza.

I shoved my first slice into my mouth. "Get some lovebirds."

Phil blushed and smirked at Dan. Dan playfully shoved him out of his way made his way toward the pizza.

"Jesus, I meant some pizza Phil. Weirdo." I swallowed and laughed. "Anyway, lets go watch some B99, shall we?"

Once we all had our pizza slices and drinks in hand, we made our way to the living room and played the first episode. They were laughing only 5 minutes in and so was I.

I didn't understand why more people didn't watch this show, honestly. It's fantastic.

We were in the middle of the second season (and an ad) when I said, "You know, FOX tried to cancel this show."

They both gasped.

"How could they?"

"I would fight a bitch."

I smiled. "Well, everyone did fight a bitch and they eventually retracted it. Put it back on TV. Even Lin Manuel-Miranda tweeted about how upset he was."

Phil shook his head and said, "Man, if Lin was upset, then they really fucked up."

I nodded in agreement.

We finished watching the second season, but by the third Dan was falling asleep on Phil. I smiled and shook my head at the two. Phil looked at me for help and I just raised my eyebrows.

That's all you dude.

Phil sighed, then yawned and started to lay down. When I heard both of their heavy breathing, I stifled my laughter through the last bit of the episode then shut it off.

I stood and smiled at both of them. Even more domestic than I remembered.

I started to walk toward my room, slightly blind because of the darkness, and shut the door. I flipped the light on and gasped.

My father was in the corner.

It was impossible. How could he-

Then I blinked.

And he was gone.

My heart raced and I started crying. I fell down the door and fought so hard to forget his face, how I saw him there, his...smile....
